WINTER WONDERLAND IN RIO - The below freezing temperatures of Sunday and
Monday nights brought a chill to the unaccustomed Rio Grande Valley. This tree draped
with icicles was a picture of winter as it is rarely seen in Rio Grande City. The icy spectacle
was created on the front lawn of Mrs. Fela Ireland's home in Aguirre Street and was ad-
mired by passersby before the sun's warmth melted it away.

president of TSTA District XI in
1971-72 and member of the
TSTA State Teacher Education
and Professional Standards

FOUR
books for the water district.
Another local accountant,
Isauro Zarate, has also ex-
pressed interest. The matter
was postponed until the
January 22nd meeting.
In one ot the final moves, the
Board of Directors gave the
Resident Engineer the
authority to research the
matter of the expansion of the
district. The research would not
be costing the water district any
additional money. The water
manager also suggested that
the Resident Engineer be
authorized to make a map of the
water and sewer lines of the
district. The manager stated
that a set of good water maps
was needed. Gallegos replied
that that job would cost the
water district an additional fee.
Gallegos will be making a
graphic study of the areas to be
annexed.
The board will meet again on
Wednesday, January 22nd.
