It will be a short meeting, he, d, and in place of their regu- council meeting scheduled next week. One of the possible revisions. cerns authority to appoint assistant city secretary in event the city secretary be-, es incapacitated to perform; duties, Boswell said. THE BRYAN DAILY EAGLE Bryan-C.S., Tuesday, January 22, 1963 CS Vote Scheduled On Charter Changes Eight revisions and two addi- s to the College Station City arter were recommended to e city council by the charter ision committee M o n d a y ht. :The recommended revisions be presented to the people College Station for approval disapproval at the next mu- ipal election April 2, accord- to Ran Boswell, city man- of College Station. Committee members recom- nded that three sections of icle VI of the Charter (62, and 65), concerning city ds and time warrants; be ended to include the general tement that "all such bonds 11 be issued in conformity th the laws of the State of as." The city has met the al requirements for bonds in past, Boswell clarified, but statement should be includ- in the charter. ANOTHER section pertain- to the incontestability of nds (Section 64), the commit- has rewritten it to be more ecific, Boswell said. The rec- ended change says that all nds of the City shall be in- testable and all bonds issued refund outstanding bonds 11 after issuance be incon able. The "Investments" portion of tion 66 has been revised to Jude a statement that any surplus in the general fund may be used to purchase securities of the U.S., State of Texas or bonds of College Station. It also says that any such surplus may be used for the purchase and re- tirement of bonds or time war- rants of the city which are not yet due. Each requires the ap- proval of the city council, how- ever. FOUR OTHER recommended changes to the charter pertain to what the city manager must include in the proposed budget for the fiscal year. Previously, the charter spelled out specific obligations to be included in the budget. They are a reve and expense statement for types of bonds and a sched` of requirements for the princi- pal and interest on each issue of bonds. The change says that all "other obligations of the city" will be included in the proposed budget. THE COMMITTEE also ommended an addition to tion 28. It calls for the council to have authority to point an assistant city secre who can sign official papers` the city in the event the secretary becomes incapcita (See CHARTER Page 8) Charter (Continued From Page 1) to perform his duties. Members of the charter revi- sion committee are Bardin H. Nelson, Colonel Frank H. Math- ews, Marian C. Pugh, William A. Smith, Charles LaMotte and John W. Hill, all of College Sta- tion. They were appointed last March to study the city charter for any possible change or dele- tions. A copy of the proposed chart- er changes will be mailed to each tax-paying qualified voter 30 days before the election April 2, Boswell concluded. 'I TIDE BATTALION _ e Station, Texas Thursd Charter Changes Due CS Election The charter revision committee the College Station City Coun- was presented recommendations eight revisions and two addi- ns to the city charter. City manager Ran Boswell an- unced that the committee's rec- mendations will be decided by voters in the April 2 munici- election. The committee recommends that three sections of Article VI of the charter (62, 63 and 65), concerning city bonds and time warrants, be amended to include a statement that "all such bonds shall be is- ed in conformity with the laws the State of Texas." ection 64, dealing with the in- testability of bonds, was re- by the committee to be re specific, Boswell said. The ommended change says that all Inds of the city shall be incon- testable, and all bonds issued to refund outstanding bonds shall be incontestable after issuance. The "Investments" portion of Section 66 should be revised to in- clude a statement that any sur- plus in the general fund may be used to buy federal, state or Col- lege Station bonds, the committee said. Also recommended was a statement that general fund sur- pluses might be used to buy and retire city bonds or time warrants which are not yet due. Four other changes recommend- ed for the charter specify items which the city manager must in- clude in the proposed city budgets for upcoming fiscal years. T h e changes are in a revenue and ex- pense statement for all types of bonds and are in a schedule of requirements for the principal and interest on each issue of bonds. THE BRYAN DAILY EAGLE, BRYAN-C.S., TEXAS TUESDAY, JANUARY 26, 1964 Long Debate Marks Meet By BRITT MARTIN Eagle City Editor Snappy and biting discussion -primary ingredients of hag- gling - marked last night's meeting of the College Station City Council, thus stealing the spotlight from the dogs. Much of the discussion was. over street construction, past city policies toward streets and the need for possible changes in city policies concerning paving. AN ORDINANCE to put teeth into a leash law passed by res- : idents Jan. 7 was passed by th council and will go into effe March 1. The ordinance affe animals and fowls in referent to nuisances and danger health and safety of College Sta tion residents. The council voted unanimou ly to pave Francis Drive on basis of public necessity as p of the 1964 paving program. I was agreed that the street wi be 37-feet wide and will includ b and gutter. Paving will ex d from Munson Drive hway 6, a distance of a ximately 4,800 feet. ity Manager Ran Boswell d although the paving will`' t $15 per foot, property own- 03 Francis will be assess [only $3 per front foot. It was- ulated by the council that rty owners on Francis uld be notified of the counaction within 30 days. SWELL TOLD the coup- 00 8 petition on Francis had been out for about three years. Apparently, the carrier could never obtain the necessary signatures of two-thirds of the property owners. Boswell told the council that time is near to cut off accepting petitions for construction to be dune this year. He said the engi- neering department needs am- ple time to work up pl~.nc and specifications. The council asked (See DEBATE Page 4) Debate (Continued From Page 1) Boswell to recommend a cut- off date at the next meeting. Park Place, from Farm Road 12154 to Hereford, was tagged by the council for a non-curb sec- tion, which means that owners are assessed only 75 per cent per front foot. Boswell said the area presents no drainage prob- lems. Boswell said petitions are still out on Milner, Gilchrist, Munson and Ashburn. IT WAS THE consensus of the council that serious consid- eration be given to policies of the city regarding original con- tracts on construction. The con- cern grew out of the city's dis- satisfaction with the way a pav- ing contract is being handled by a local firm. The council agreed that the city needs to set a stronger policy on bid letting, primarily to determine who is going to do what percentage of work on a given job. Consideration is to be given to raising the penalty for firms not completing their construc- tion projects in the number of days set up in the contract. Councilmen are considering raising the penalty from $20 per day to not less than $50 nor THE BRYAN DAILY EAGLE, BRYAN.C.S., TEXAS WEDNESDAY, FEB. 20, 1983 RAMADA INN START Mayor Ernest Langford of College Station is shown at the ground-breaking cere monies this morning for the new Ramada Inn to be constructed at Sulphur Springs Road and Highway 6.

(Eagle Photo by Gene Dennis) Three Items Top Agenda Of Council The College Station city coun- cil meets tonight to consider three major items, according to City Manager Ran Boswell. Two ordinances, one calling for a municipal election of. councilmen and the other, ap. pointing a board of equalization for 1963, will be considered at the council meeting. Other business before the council includes a preliminary plat on Culpepper's second in- stallment in the Carter's Grove Addition. The plat will be pre- sented to the council for ap- proval or disapproval by the planning and zoning committee A board of equalization must also be appointed by the coun- cil. Last year the board was composed of H. E. Hampton, W. I. Truettner and R. L. Elkins. A muncipal election April 2 to elect three councilmen, one from each of three wards in College Station, will be called by the council. Councilmen whose terms expire this year are J. A. Orr, D. A. Anderson and A. L. Rosprim. U THE B RYAN DAILY EAGLE Bryan-C.S., Tuesday, February 26, 1963 Study of Parks Planned at C S Councilman D. A. Anderson charged last night at a city council meeting that College Station parks "are falling by the wayside" and suggested that a committee be created to recti- fy the situation. Anderson asked that a coun- cil representative of eacb of the city's four wards serve on a committee which would draw up long-range plans for city parks. COUNCIL REACTION' was favorable, and the idea is ex- pected to be discussed further at the next session of the city fathers. The parks discussion came up following presentation of a letter from developer J. C. Cul- land in Carter's Grove Subdivi- I sion be exchanged for two acres between College Hills Shorping Village and Foster Avenue de- signated on the plat as parks. The action was sought for de- velopment purposes, but w a s pigeon holed by the council be- cause College Hills residents have restrictions stating that areas now termed parks will re- main so forever. The council passed an ordin- ance calling for a municipal election April 2, the same day as the Bryan city vote. Two of the three College Station coun- cilmen whose terms expire have announced for re-election. They are J. A. Orr, Ward 1, .and A. L. Rosprim, Ward 3, Anderson, who is representative of Ward 2, said he is still undecided about run- ning for office again. THE COUNCIL turned down a requst for a zone change on the southeast corner of Jersey Street and Old College Road. The property owner had reques- ted that the zoning be changed from apartment house to mercantile. The council refused to change the zoning restriction because all South gate merchants and three West Park addition pro- perty owners objected. Texas A&M College was (See PARKS Page 8) Parks (Continued From Page 1) given approval to install a traf- fic signal on Farm Road 60 at North Gate similar to and co-1 ordinated with the signal at the intersection of College Main and FM 60. City Manager Ran Boswell was authorized to meet with college officials to work out de- tails. THE BRYAN DAILY EAGLE Bryan-C.S., Wednesday, February 27, 1963 R. R.

Although the council dis- cussed the matter for some time, no action was taken. I THE CITY and county will purchase the right-of-way for what will amount to a traffic interchange at the Southern Pacific and Missouri Pacific track, and the. state will con- struct the facility amounting to approximately three-quar- ter.; of a million dollars. "This project is rapidly ap- proaching the construction s t a g e and the right-of-way must be clear and free of all obstructions in the near fu- ture," THD District Engineer C. E. Thames told the council in a letter. The city will purchase three- fourths of the right-of-way and the county one-fourth. The two railroads have re- !quested to use the same track -the Southern Pacific-mak- ing the underpass possible. The matter is now before the In- terstate Commerce Commis- sion in Washington.

According to City Manager Ran Boswell's t a 11 y sheet, these streets are Lee, Walton, Kyle, Williams, Foster, Moss, Church, T h o m a s, Second, Cross, Stasney, Cherry, Tau- ber and Fairview. Currently in the process of being collected are funds for Main, Dexter, Francis, Ash- burn, Shetland and Pershing streets. THE COUNCIL also declar- ed work on Glade, Orr and several other streets complete and ordered city hall officials to proceed with collection of assessments. Councilman Robert R. Rhodes brought up the recent- ly approved College Station law requiring residents to keep, their dogs leashed or fenced in. He noted that several of his ward constituents have told him that some of their neigh- j bors are releasing their dcgs'I after 5 p.m. when city dog- pickup ceases. Rhodes' col-' leagues commiserated w i t h him but no action was taken. In Perkins' other business with the council, city fathers sent to the planning commis- sion for approval plats of the third and fourth installments of Woodson Estates. Mayor E r n e s t Langford was given permission to sign the docu- ments after the board okays them. THE COUNCIL noted that the planning commission has "acted favorably" on rezoning a lot belonging to J. B. Hervey in Tauber Addition and called' a public hearing. The lot will, be changed from residential to' apartment house zone. A request from Marion Pugh, a College Station lumberman, (See COUNCIL Page 10) Council (Continued From Page 1) that the city pay half of the cost of construction he did on a public street at his business was denied. Councilmen said the city paying for work on which bids had not been tak- en was illegal. Councilman Joe S o r r e 11 s conveyed a request from Epis- copal Church laymen for a "thrift shop" on church prop- erty. Women of the church want to collect second hand merchandise and s e 11 it to needy families for a token price. The matter was referred to committee.

They refuse to quiet this animal. The thing is very irritating. What can I do to rid the area of the noisemaker? NAME WITHHELD Houston You did not ask Sound-Off not to use your name, Mr X. But in the interest of neighborhood peace we won't identify you. Marion Leach, chief prosecutor for the City of Houston, says noisy animals are not against the law. He says that at one time prior to 1958 the City Council passed an ordinance making the owners of such animals guilty of a misdemeanor, but the Court of Criminal Appeals held it invalid. The only recourse Mr L e a e h knows is the slow, costly process of seek- ing a civil injunction. But he says he has never known of anyone filing a civil suit to quiet a dog.-Editor.

Manning City Secretary, City of College Station, Texas 2ts wr° . `O- CS, Brazos in Dissen On Interchange Fun d County's Share Sparks ' Discord £ By ROBERT STEWART JR. Eagle City Editor The City of College Station and+the Brazos County (Commissioners' Court have agreed to disagree over the percentage to be paid by the county on the purchase of right-of-way for a cloverleaf interchange at Farm Road 60 and Old College Highway. The disagreement revolves around a 1961 meeting in which the county allegedly agreed to pay 25 per cent of the cost. At a meeting last night, the com- missioners noted they would pay a portion of the expense but did not specify the amount. THE ACTION came follow- ing the passing of an ordinance authorizing the issuance of time warrants, up to $100,000, by the College Station City Council for the purchase of j right-of-way. According to Ran Boswell, city manager, the county com- missioners were asked to at- tend the meeting to hear the ordinance and discuss percent- age split on the purchase. County Judge W. C. (Bill) Da- vis served as spokesman for the meeting. THE PROPOSAL that the county pay 25 per cent of the costs was turned down by com- missioners. They want to wait until a third appraisal of the land is received by the council. The council noted that not uuil of the $100,000 in time war- is would be utilized in pur- I_ asjng the land. `"We will participate, but I 'I't say how much," Davis rB the council. "We can't say will pay a certain percent- until we know the costs." oswell told the county com- Funds t (Continued From Page 1) 1 governing body would pay 25 per cent.

He added that in his opinion a signalized intersec- tion would cause more delays rather than speed up traffic. The veteran engineer also commented that the present cricle•is "the safest type of in- tersection we know of." The problem lies in three peak periods of traffic daily. The circle is jammed with uni- versity traffic around 8 a.m., noon and 5 p.m. There is no wav to regulate traffic with signs. Thames said that signs would just confuse motorists. THE HIGHWAY depart- mer.t's letter to College Sta• tion City Manager Ran Bos- well on the subject was pre- sented to the city council at- its meeting Monday night. The letter said that, "Due to the traffic volume, drainage prob-' lern, assignment of right-of- way and public opinion, it is! our recommendation that the' circle be replaced with a con-~ ventional signalized intersec- tion." Apparently the controversit! circle will bite the dust. It's e case of "whatever Lola wants, Lola gets." . . .

The 73-year-old man has seen both the university and the town grow up. Langford has been student, teacher and is now archiv- ist, at the school. He also held a position on the city council when it formed in 1938. (Eagle Photo by Gene Dennis.) Mayor Langford Views Birth, Growth of Town By ROBERT STEWART JR. Eagle City Editor In 1909 a young boy, fresh out of a country school in Briggs, came to Texas A&M I University. He found a struggling col- lege with 30 faculty resi- dences nestled between scat- tered buildings and a gener- al store across from the rail- road depot. Today there is a town of 12,000 people. A business district has sprung up to supply its needs and no one lives on the campus but stu- dents. Ernest Langford has watch- ed College Station and Tex- as A&M University grow up together. And in his' 26- year history of the town, he has served 22 years as may- or. He was recently elected unopposed, to his 23rd year at the post. When the city was incorporated in 1938, Langford was one of the first councilmen. Now semi - retired, he is college archivist. Mayor Langford devotes his time to his city post and researching the history of the college. A postmark bearing the legend "College Station" and the college proper were be- ginning of the city. When young Langford stepped off the train at the depot, lo- cated five miles from Bryan, he found cotton fields, pas- ture and the site of the fu- ture city waiting. Since that time he has lived in the town as a stu- dent, teacher and -now as mayor. In an interview Thursday, Mayor Langford recalled the founding days of the city. It was four months after the city was incorporated before the first councilmen could be sworn into office. All were members of the college staff and worked for the state. A special ruling from the office of the attor- ney general allowed the men to take office in February of 1939. "We had five councilmen and nothing to do but twid- dle our thumbs," Langford laughs. "We'd meet over a cup of coffee and talk." After the first major hur- dle was passed, the first of- ficial purchase was made by the city. Each man contrib- uted $1 to establish a city treasury and authorized the purchase of stationery with the city emblem. The 73-year - old man not- ed that the first major ef- fort of the new city was to purchase all privately own- ed utilities and distribution systems. During that first year, the council met in a room on the campus of Texas A&M. "We got a little money and rented a small office over Aggieland Studio," the may- or said of the next few years. "Following this, we met over the Southside Grocery and in 1947 we built our present city hall." Langford noted two turn- ing points in the history of the city. He cited a move by W. C. Boyett, owner of the small general store by the depot, to the North Cate area and the development of Highway 6, which "turned the campus around." The highway was rerout. ed during the mid-130s. I1 was shortly after the action that the city was incorporat• ed. " Langford, who was born in Ballinger, has only beer opposed twice during hip tenure as mayor. The firs test followed his first tern- and the second test wa "about 16 or 18 years ago, can't remember which." "Frank Anderson Will Station's second mayor) wa,.. called into the service," Langford recalls. "Somebo• dy had to take his glad and I was elected. Haven't stopped since." The mayor called city ser- vice "most rewarding." "The greatest satisfaction is to see a city start from nothing and take its place among the incorporated cit- ies of state," Langford sum- med up his years as a city servant. He praised previous com- missions by saying the city leaders have "never under} taken a project withli knowing the facts and get- ting proper advice." "I haven't done a single thing that I would have un- done," he said of his civic work. "I am pleased with the overall picture."

Manning City Secretary (Nov. 27-Dec 4) THE BRYAN DAILY EAGLE Bryan-C.S., Sunday, November 29, 1964 Editorials Order of Preference The continued growth of Brazos County and its municipalities deserves a close look by local governing bodies for assigning preferences to community better- ment projects. At present, the Bryan-College Station area is on the threshold of becoming a leading metropoll 'z hc- tween two major Texas urban areas, Dallas and Hous- ton. Matching this county's continued prosperity and commercial development are numerous proposals re- quiring major expenditures. They include right-of-way for a bypass, a county hospital and a new city library. Many of these community projects are needed now. A bypass is not superflous to the area's needs. Nobody believes that our children should not have l the best library facilities available. No one wants the aged and indigent and the poor without access to medical care. While each of these community proposals or stud-' ies is worthwhile, we believe some order of preference should be assigned and coordination for their comple- tion implemented. We believe the Bryan City Commission, College Station City Council and Brazos County Commission- ers' Court should undertake the projects in this order: 1. A 13-mile bypass skirting Bryan-College Station, costing the county some $500,000 in right-of-way costs and the state approximately $5 million for construction.. 2. A 200-bed county hospital, costing in the neigh- borhood of $2.5 million, some $1.5 millon or less to be furnished by the county. 3. Expansion of Bryan's Carnegie Library in its present facility, an historical county landmark, at a cost of $100,000. Electric Rate Analysis ISOU 9 ht b y City of Bryan f Present Source By M RUTHERFORD Eagle Staff Writer College Station City Council will confer with the Lower Colorado River Authority and Gulf States Utilities Co. for an electric rate analysis before renew- ing an expired electric contract with the City of Bryan. College Station presently gets its electric power from the City of Bryan at a rate of one cent per kilo- watt hour. Councilmen meeting in College Station last night decided on the action after a local businessman complained about the lack of commercial utility rates in College Station. MEMBERS NOTED that the city must sell power commer- cially higher than the City of Bryan because of the electric utility rates. Joe Fererri, Ramada Inn owner, appeared before coun- cil asking relief of his high utility rates. A check of the College Station utility depart- ment revealed that the Rama- da Inn pays more than $3,000 monthly for utilities. "The whole future of College Station's growth depends on electric rates as low as Bry- an's," said Councilman J. A. C Orr. b C S Council Councilman O. M. Holt e oed his sentiments, saying, ` we are to bring in more pe ple like Joe (and the Rama Inn) we have to do somethi to align commercial utili. rates with Bryan's." CITY MANAGER Ran Bo well said College Station pa one cent per KWH across t board for electric power fr Bryan, which is Bryan's co mercial utility rate. "You can't buy it for a ce and sell it for a cent, becau you have a line loss," the ma ager explained. Fererri said the Ramada I chain recommends that he p in his own power plant an generating units, which wo pay for themselves in less th three years. Fererri said prefers to buy from the Ci of College Station, but th " commercial rates should be an even keel with Bryan's. COUNCILMEN, in orderi the rate analyses with Gu States and Lower Colora River Authority, agreed Co lege Station should have co ' mercial rates conducive to b iness development. Councilmen said they pref to get electricity from Bryal but feel the rate a n a l y s e should be made. r. .

City Manager Fred Sandlin was asked for the electric rate figures today after the College Station City Council said it would look into rates of the Lower Colorado River Authori- ty and Gulf States Utilities Co. College Station now buys its electricity from the City of Bryan for a penny per kilo- watt hour and does not have a comparable commercial utility rate with Bryan. A $3,000 College Station commercial electrical b i 11 would cost the same business in Bryan only $1,700, accord- ing to the two rates the twin cities now use. However, 180 KWH cost a College Station homeowner $5.93. The same amount of electricity costs a Bryan home- owner $8.20. City Manager Sandlin said Bryan's rates are listed along with College Station's, in the standard Federal Power Com- mission rules and regulations! in the National Electric Rate Book, issued June 1963. Broken down, rates of the two cities are as follow: College Station charges six cents for the first 25 KWH ($1.50); 3.5 cents for the next 75 ($2.63) and 2.25 cents for the next 80 ($1.80). All over 180 KWH are sold at two cents per KWH, according to Ran Boswell, College Station city manager. Bryan, on the other han charges five cents for the fir 100 KWH ($5); four cents fog the next 400 ($16) and thre6 (cents for the next 500 ($15). The first 1,000 KWH thus cost $36 in Bryan, the next 39,000 are $585 which amounts to 1.5 ceiats per KWH in comparison with College Station's two cent commercial rate. College Station buys electri- city from Bryan at the rate of one cent per KWH, selling it commercially for two cents, making a one cent profit. Bryan sells commercially at the lowest rate of 1.15 cents per KWH, making a profit of .33 cents after .82 cents costs are iandlin said that Bryan College Station for une KWH because it costs y .82 cents.

Mesquite had 52 cents; D e n t o n, 60 Orange, 90; and Kingsville, 60. Since the report was publish- ed, Bryan lowered city taxes to 66 cents per $100 valuation for a phenomenal low of 33 cents - seven cents under 1963's rate. College Station has a 30-cent adjusted city tax rate in com- parison with Huntsville's 50; Bay City's 32 and Freeport's 85. STATISTICAL G compiled from 567 Texas cities reporting tax rates, assessed valuations and outstanding in- debtedness. The adjusted tax rates are figured by using cities' tax rates and assessed valuations. Bryan levies 80 cents per $100 assessed valuation, based on 50 per cent of true market value. College Station levies $1.50 per $100, based on 20 per cent of fair market value. On a 1960 population basis, Bryan (27,542) ranks 36th and College Station (11,760) 90th I in the state. Both have city tax rates below other Texas cities of comparable size. Tax rate distribution among 528 reporting cities shows 100 having tax rates ranging from 51 cents to one dollar. Bryan is in the lower 18.9 per cent of the total. College Station's tax rate is among the range of those in 328 cities, or compar- able to 62 per cent of the total reporting tax rate distribution.

That's $119 a nually for a $10,000 h o in (Computation: S c h o o l t a. $1.72 and 1964 city tax rate 66 cents times 50 per cent fair market value). • College Station charg $109.20 for the s a in e horn 'That's $1.98 per 100, based 40 per cent market value, f the school tax and $1.50 p $100, based on 20 per cent fair market value, for the ci tax. 14~ i THE BRYAN DAILY EAGLE Bryan-College Station, Texas Tuesday, February 9, 1965 R.

The proposed ordinance also would authorize the city to collect pet license fees and re- duce cruelty to animals. DON HUSS, 1002 Walton and Robert (Bob) Halliwell 1204 Dominik, are representing the College Station group cir- culating the petition asking for a new ordinance. The petition contends that the City of College Station has been collecting $1 animal li- cense fees without legal au- thority. When the present "leash" law was voted in Jan. 7, 1964, the new ordinance "re- pealed the legal right for the City of College Station to re- quire inoculation of animals against rabies," according to the petition. Petitioners also claim that since passage of City Ordi- nance 386, the City of College Station has been collecting the animal license fee without le- gal authority. Last year, 276 licenses were issued. 1r USS SAID about 50 College tion citizens had contacted him regarding enforcement of the present City Ordinance 386, which has led to "mental anguish and cruelty to ani- mals." Huss and Halliwell said sev- eral pets were killed by an overdose of the tranquilizing drug used by the College Sta- tion police to capture unli censed animals. Huss said there have been improper dosages administered to some pets without an anecdote available and the pets died as ;a result. The petition calls for a spe- 1 1 municipal election to ap- prove the new "leash" law drafted by the interested Col- lege Station citizens. THE PROPOSED ordinance defines animal as "any and all s of mammals both domes- ed and wild, male and f , singular and plural, e Fit cept humans." Huss said present leash law authoriz the arrest of humans due improper definition of terms the ordinance. The new ordinance kou also raise the license fee fr $1 to $2 per animal.

College Station's p r e s e n t "leash" law came under attack yesterday by two citizens, Don' Huss and Robert (Bob) Halli-I (well, who are circulating peti-i tions for a new ordinance. The two men had contended that College Station doesn't have a proper dog licensing ordinance. The College Station C i t y Council's ordinance requiring dogs to be licensed against ra- bies was published in The Ea- gle Nov. 24 and 25, 1963 and the Texas A&M University newspaper, the Battalion, Nov. 27, and Dec. 4, 1963. Huss said yesterday, how- ever, that a copy of the present "barking dog" ordinance wasn't on file at the city manager's office. when he asked if the city had a rabies ordinance. LP5 THE BATTALION Lege Station, Texas Wednesday, March 24, 196E e Battalion: 'tor, I am interested in knowing more about the new parking limits that have been imposed amongst those students who park their cars along Sulphur Springs Road across from the parking areas of Dorms 21 and 22. Students living in Dorms 19, 20, 21 and 22 normally use this parking area since it is close to their dorms and therefore a conveniencse to them especially during times when the weather is not at its best. But now the users of this park- ing area have been granted a parking limit of two hours be- tween 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. during ,weekdays. Anyone parking more than two hours during this time will receive as a bonus a nice traffic violation ticket. It was brought to my atten- tion that the origin of this park- ing limit was a petition signed 'by those we so dearly love - the North Gate capitalists. I m pleased to say through that t all of the people in North to signed this petition. My ain interest is to find out who ned the petition and why they nted to impose such an incon- nience among the students. Hector R.

The ordinance, passed and ap- proved by the College Station City Council on Feb. 26, estab- lishes a twe-h our limit or. parking on FM 60 (Sulphur Springs Road) between Nagle Street and Old Highway 6 and on the first block of all streets intersecting FM 60 from the north between Nagle and Old Highway 6. The limit is in effect from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day except Sunday. The other streets involved are Stasney, Lodge, Tauber, College Main, and Boyett North. A&M students have indicated to The Battalion that they are dissatisfied with the new park- ing rule and cannot understand what the North Gate merchaJe have to gain by keeping thfrom parking on the south sof FM 60. Some ministers in the No Gate area said that the ordinahas only caused employees the business concerns to pin church designated parkareas. They also expressed a feelthe city council should have least talked to them before acting an ordina ce that woaffect the parking area arouchurch property. "We will be glad to seL ag special parking for church staff` and already have in some cases, Ran Boswell, College Station cit , manager said. "I signed the petition that started the city's action," J. k Loupot, owner of Loupot's Trad+ ing Post said. "The main pur4 pose is to stop some of thesi students from parking here all day and depriving other students of a chance to stop for a cup o coffee or come by for some shop ping." Dean of Students James B Hannigan affirmed that the sout side of FM 60 is not universit property and is under Colle Station jurisdiction. "There is sufficient parki on campus for all registered v hicles although they aren't convenient to the dorms or clas rooms," Hannigan said. He went on to say that whe the parking lots behind dorms 1 21 and 22 are full the studen in this area can park in the La Hall lot. 1 10 THE B RYAN DAILY EAGLE Bryan-C.S., Tuesday, April 27, 1965 College Station To Investigate Youth Problems ROBERT STEWART Jr. Eagle City Editor An investigation into com- plaints of juvenile harassment and excessive speeding in Col- lege Station was ordered Mon- day night by the city council.

WV1.1 texas Wednesday, April 28, 1965 BATTALION EDITORIALS Traffic Circle Offers Congestion, Confusion Congestion, confusion and danger sum up the condition of the traffic circle outside the northeast edge of campus. The College Station City Council and the Brazos County Commissioners have prescribed action to change the circular hazard into a four-way intersection, but these plans have not yet been carried out. Until the circle is removed, cars will continue to congest the area during rush hours. But four signs could temporarily relieve the confusion and danger that such an intersectio:: creates. Yield right-of-way signs placed at the circle's four en- trances would eliminate the confusion of yielding. Presently, it is not clear whether the entering auto or the car with possession has the right of way. It would reduce the existing danger of serious accidents caused by the confusion-riddled circle. The City of Beaumont has erected signs at a similar situation, resulting in safer driving and a lower accident rate. College Station could ease the problem very inexpen- sively through these signs. After erecting No Parking signs at North Gate, it is inconceivable why four more signs could not be purchased to serve the best interest of the city's drivers. Someone's life might be at stake. 1 .13 THE BATTALION 4ednesday, April 28, 1965 College Station, Texas Southern Paeif'ic Steps T.-Ip Work On Interchange By CLOVIS McCALLISTER.

COUNCIL RECEIVED new vigor during the two - hour meeting last night when Alder- man O. M Holt tossed in the statement that Texas A&M University would furnish the city whatever additional wa- ter and power it might need. Council perked up particularly hen Holt said Texas A&M resident Earl Rudder said the versity has five untapped water wells at the research an- ex ready for use. On the matter of establish- ing commercial electric rates conducive to commercial de- velopment, Denison told coun- cilmen that Brenham has the lowest rate in the area, but College Station's is lower in the 100 to 2,000 KWH bracket. Above the 2,000 KWH figure, College Station's rate is lower than Hearne and Navasota, but slightly higher than Bryan's.. Denison also said College Station had only an eight per cent line loss in 1964, which was considered very good. He also noted that College Sta- tion will sell 19 million KWH in 1965, up from seven million in 1957, which snows the city's rapid growth on a population basis in the area. THE ELECTRIC rate stu also shows: • Customers increased fr 1,650 in 1955 to 2,500 in 1965." • Total KWH sold jum from four million in 1955 19 million projected this ye • Broken down, dome KWH sold increased from 3 customers in 1955 to 1,100 1964. Commercial users total 150 in 1955 and 500 in 1964. • The per cent of fixed to utility p l a n t investme steadily dwindled from 19 showing that electric syste maintenance and billing cos are about 18 per cent of utili income. • College Station has no mand rate flexibility. ,0 THE B RYAN DAILY EAGLE PAGE 2 Routine Items Crowd Agend The College Station petition street paving program was t changed, a new electric study authorized, and a penalty clause requested for the dog lease ordinance. The council noted that only 60 per cent of the total front footage on a street must now be represented on a petition as compared to the 70 per cent requirement of the past. ALSO CHANGED was the 75 cents per front foot charge to property owners fronting streets that will be paved on- ly and not receive curb and gutter. The council raised this to $1.25 to bring it in line with the curb and gutter costs which run $3 per front foot. City Manager Ran Boswell asked the council to set Feb. 1 as cut-off date for petitions of each current year. Boswell said that the new date will al- low an earlier start on the pro- ject. He added that the extra time will also allow a more comprehensive budget devel- opment around street paving projects. The council rejected as un- productive an electric demand study of city costs by Gulf States Utilities Co. The govern- ing body has asked the firm to make a study on power costs to the city. COLLEGE STATION now purchases its electricity from the City of Bryan. However, it was noted that the study, which included Dec. 1963 to November 1964 was based on an estimate of kilo- watt hour demand. Since the request has been made the city acquired demand meters which will project city elec- tricity. They requested Gulf States o make a second study based on demand meter readings from March through Septem- ber 1965. Mayor Pro-tem O. M. Holt said that "we want exact fig- ures, not a guess or estimate." COUNCILMAN J. A. Orr proposed that City Attorney John Sandstedt prepare a $5 penalty clause for the dog lease ordinance. In making the proposal, which was approved; Councilman Orr noted that the board penalty, in which the dog owner pays for the ani- mal's keep while in city care, will remain in the ordinance. In other action, the council approved rezoning of several lots in the Tauber Addition and set a public hearing Oct. 25 at 7 p.m. The council also approved Section one of the D. A. Smith Subdivision subject to approv- al by the planning and zon- ing commision. X02 THE BATTALION Tuesday, September 28, 1965 City Council Raises Homeowner Rates For Street Paving The College Station City Coun- cil approved Monday night sev- eral revisions to street construc- tion policy, including a 50 cent per front foot hike to homeown- ers for t h e paving of streets without curbs and gutters. The Council authorized the new rate, from 75 cents to $1.25, but retained the current rate of $3 per front foot for paving streets which also have curbs and gut- ters installed. In addition, the Council ruled that citizens signing petitions re- questing a street to be paved must own a minimum of 60 per cent of the street's total front footage. The previous figure was 70 per cent. Deadline for such petitions to be presented to the Council for consideration was set for Feb. 1 of each year. All petitions re- ceived after that date will be de- tained until the following year for action. In other action the Council ap- proved letting of a contract for $9,090.37 to the Econolite Corp. for a traffic signal system to be installed at the corner at High- way 6 and Jersey St. The bid was higher than that submitted by Signal Sales and Maintenance Corp. of $8,999.98, but councilmen approved the Econolite bid because that firm's components are interchangeable with parts of signal systems cur- rently in use in the city. The Council also promised to consider complaints f r o m two South Knoll Addition homeown- ers that streets and curbs in the area are deteriorating and cause poor drainage. City Attorney John Sandsted was requested to draw up an or dinance levying a $5 charge o' dog owners whose pets are i pounded by city authorities. Developer Bill Fitch's reques for replatting of various lots i the South Knoll Addition and D A. Smith Subdivisions was ap, proved contingent upon simila' action by the Planning and Zon ing Commission at its next meet! ing. The Council also approved tw ordinances providing for publi hearings on the question of re zoning certain lots in the Taube Addition. The hearings are ached; uled for the Oct. 25 meeting.

The leash law, which states that no animal or fo be permitted to run at large in the city, remains raged except for the $5 penalty for second and su cent violations. The ordinance now rules that first offenders m obtain their animals by paying the standard boarding fee when the pet is apprehended. College Station police offi- cers will also attempt to notify the owner of the pet within three days by mail. The board- ing fee, which consists of lodg- ing expenses at a commercial animal hospital, will still be tacked on to the $5 fine.

THE CITY 13 now sponsors ing a study by John Denisoa of Texas A&M University Ott city-wide electrical usage with an eye to "a total amount of $30.000 to $40,000" reduction for both residential and busi- ness use.

How- ever, the council felt $5 and $10 offense fines were too stiff. The councilmen noted the first offense without the $5 penalty is a grace period to allow for accidental escape of the pets from their masters. In other action during a two- hour meeting, city fathers ap- proved a contract with the City of Bryan for electricity, water and sewage service, approved the city audit, discussed a change in city gasoline stor- age policy, requested a left turn lane .on State Highway 6 near Coach Norton's Pancake (See UTILITIES Page 9) M "We have spent over twQ years talking with them, ant their last visit was just twd. weeks ago," Mayor Langfor4 said. "We now have their total proposal but it has no appre; ciable savings in it as opposed to a contract with the City of Bryan.

Councilmen also noted tha% Bryan will provide a packag#A contract which includes water and sewage service. The new contract is based on energy and demand in the city of College Station. The old contract was one cent per kilo- watt hour. Also contained in the con tract approved last night is it, five cents increase per 1,00 gallons of water. Mayor Lang-, ford said the "increase reflects an increase cost by the city of Bryan to supply water to Col- lege Station." The college com- munity will now purchase wa- ter for 18.5 cents instead of 13.5 cents as in the past. MAYOR LANGFORD said the increase will be absorbed by the city and not passed on to citizens.

They toyed with danger and won. Today they may not have been so fortunate. Tomor- row they may not be. More than 2,000 automobiles were involved. They too escaped injury. But what about tomorrow? Almost a hundred insurance companies were also lucky. Tomorrow their rates may be forced upward. Auto body shops were not flooded with irresponsible collisions. Tomorrow is another day. Yes, Monday was just a typical day at the traffic circle on the northeast edge of campus. But somewhere a sigh of relief was breathed. There were no accidents there, but the helter-skelter rat race continued. More than 2,000 cars containing more than 4,000 persons entered the maybe-maybe land of traffic congestion and confusion and came out unscratched. Meanwhile at the five homes of College Station's city councilmen there was no supper-table talk, no late evening consideration, no heated debates over what might have been. For all went well. Someday it will not - the traffic circle will claim a life . . or mar one.' Only then will four simple "Yield Right of Way" signs be erected at the circle's entrances. By then it might be a little late. .211 THE BATTALION Friday, December 3, 1965 College Station, Texas CITY ORDINANCE ORDINANCE NO.

THE BATTALION Thursday, March 3, 1966 Page 5 College, Station, Texas CS Council Applies For Federal.- Funds ;College Station City Manager F,d n Bos well said Wednesday the y Council-approved prelimi- y application for $400,000 in eral funds has been sent to the Fort Worth office of Housing and Urban Development. If accepted by the bureau the grant would provide half the $500,000 necessary to construct underground and elevated water storage tanks in College Station. Finalization of the grant would then depend on city council ap- proval. "I don't anticipate any prob- lems with it," Boswell said. "We've met all the requirements for such a grant." If approved by both federal and city governments an elevated water tower with a million gallon capacity will be constructed on State Highway 6 south of the Redmond Terrace Shopping Cen- ter. A two million gallon under- ground tank will also be built near the Beverly Estates area. In addition, several miles of transmission lines connecting the water storage tanks to the pres- ent main lines are provided for in the application. According to Boswell, the city would probably need a bond issue A revenue bonds to pay the city's $400,000 share. He points out, however, that such action need not call for a raise in taxes. The city manager feels this will put College Station in good shape for water needs for "a number of years." The city now pur- chases water from Texas A&M and the City of Bryan. This is reportedly College Sta- tion's first application for federal funds. Reveille Mending After Close Call Reveille II, mascot of the Tex- as A&M Corps of Cadets, is on the mend after a close brush with death. The 14-year-old Shetland Shep- herd - equivalent to 90 human years - is back in a dormitory with Company E-2 after a month in the College of Veterinary Medicine's Small Animal Clinic. Dr. E. W. Ellett, associate pro- fessor of veterinary medicine, said Reveille has no active in- fection. Her complete recovery from a kidney infection is not possible. "Miss Reveille, Ma'am", as freshmen call her, is on a strict diet of K/D, a low protein, high- quality meat product. Ellett said the dog needs "A careful diet and lots of prayer." ~S AWE BATTALION Thurailay, March 3, 1966 Page (~1Lira Station, Texas CITY ORDINANCE ORDINAi1VCB NO. 464 REZONING LOTS 4, 6, 6, 7, 8, AND F BLOCK 1 TAUBER ADDITION M NO. 2 SECOND DWELLING [rict LICDHEARING ON THE QUESTION SE DISTRICT TO NO. 8 APART- T HOUSE DISTRICT.

It was also announced dur- ing the meeting that a rate change on telephone service is anticipated around 1967, ac- cording to Rex Bailey, division manager of the firm. However, Bailey declined to comment on how much increase would be requested or how soon after 1967 the raise would be effec- tive. The joint meeting climaxed an 18 month probation period for the telephone company in which service in the B-CS area was upgraded. Dissatisfied cus- tomers complained of poor Fa vice at a similar meeting in vember, 1964, and the tele- ne company requested that franchise not be renewed il improvements could be de. GOVERNING OFFICIALS said that city attorneys and Clark Monroe, liaison between the governments and the tele- phone company, met with tel- ephone executives to work out details for the 10-year contract which was renewed last night. Bailey outlined to the joint council and the public last. night the improvements which' )lave been completed or are nearly completed since the No mber meeting in 1964, to the e of $1,417,193 in plant ex- nsion. Improvements include: • The installation of voice ~uency repeaters to improve nsmission between Bryan nd College Station. • Installation of central of- fice equipment to provide 300 more telephone numbers and Franchise (Continued From Page 1) to provide for the upgrading of service to a maximum of 400. • To provide equipment to reduce busy connections be- tween Bryan and College Sta -tion. • Addition of equipment to provide for 200 prepay coin telephones-only one is unin- ,stalled. • Establish a new office at Kurten, rebuild pole lines, and install underground cable. • Install large cable projects to provide any service request- ed.. • Provide additional long distance dialing circuits to Bry- an. Bailey said that 12 addi- $iional circuits went into effect rday, and that some of ste will be "one-way," that m only sending calls out of an, rather than allowing in- ming long distance calls to e up the circuits in emer- ncies. • Upgrading all lines which rved five or more homes, roviding for five or fewer rties to a line. Bailey stated that he and the ~wmpany realized that there are still problems to be worked out, citing the "information" problem, which he explained was due to the new telephone directory coming out as well as the pay station conversion, which necessitated several Jumber changes. HE ALSO explained that in allation, usually accomplish- ed in three days or less, take$ sponger when Texas A&M Uni ersity changes semesters*' Iffowever, he noted that thei c~oompany is working on a plan to give the university its own xchange system. Much of the delay and serv- ice which is sometimes "under par" may be attributed to the conversion of the Southwestern States Company to the General 'telephone system, Bailey said, (adding that all of the office `records and mechanics have to ,be changed to the General sys- toi(mmer m. He stated that the conver- n should be complete in the of this year. Future plans call for air pressure on all lines. Bailey explained that very few lines exist now which are of the old lead type, explaining that the. air pressure type facilitates the location of trouble areas. Plas- tic cables which do not need the air pressure system are also being installed. BY 1970 all lines should be a one or two party system, the manager explained, eliminat- ing all over-crowding of party lines. He added that the growth of A&M has created the need for additional service, and new facilities to accommodate the ds should be completed in ptember. Mobile service, providing ephone service for autoino- es, should be installed by ugust, 1966, Bailey said. Direct distance dialing is not ected until 1969. Bailey ex- ined that the function would uire at least $1.5 million in ansion or rebuilding and cessary equipment. MONROE, APPOINTED in 64 by the joint governments act as a liaison between the lephone company and the ies to assist in the improve- nt plan, stated last night at the communities have seen tremendous change in the at- de as well as the physical t of the telephone compa- y, citing the "philosophy of rvice," the striving toward mpany goals, participation in mmunity service, and "top nagement talent in depth" remarkable changes in com- ny policy. He stated that the pability and leadershp of the lephone company "are signi- cantly greater now." . Woody Humphries of Kur- n, one of the areas which ex- ressed many grievances in 064, spoke for the community saying that they are "real "leased with the service in is area. We still have some inor complaints, but they are mainly nothing like what ey were 18 months ago." A spokesman for the Lake lacid area expressed the same) ntiments for his community, ating that improvements ere are definitely greater than their expectations. T 02 M ~o tv a~ O° D o Z v
