TOWN TOPICS
II M instructed mo to write
on any subject I cared to including
the governors race But being
new in Texas I believe I will
stay away from that subject
The family and I are beginning
to feel at home here in Tulia At
every turn people have made us
feel welcome
It is never an easy task to move
to a new city as a stranger and
friendly visits such as we have
had here help us lose that feeling
of being a stranger
TIIWM TOPICS
I feci you would be interested
in some of the projects the city
is now working on so I will try
to outline the main ones
First and foremost I believe
Is the water bond issue The city
is preparing to sell 200000 of the
250000 worth of bonds you voted
If this completes the work we
have planned the 50000 will not
be issued at this time but will
bo held in reserve for future
needs
The contract for the 500000
galloin storage tank will bo let
next month as this has the longest
delivery lime of any equipment
needed Wo intend lo have
all of the project completed before
next summer as I am sure
that neither you nor I want lo
go through another summer
without sufficient water and
pressure
TOWN TOPICS
The City Council has ordered
a new street sweeper The Council
feels It is the best of all the
sweepers and I know you will
be pleased with the type of cleaning
it does It should be in operation
within the next month I
like to see good clean streets I
think it improves the looks of the
community and I think most
Tulians will agree with me
TOWN TOPICS
Since we now have a deed lo
Tule Lako and Park some have
asked if we have any plans for
it The city does The first step
planned is the appointment of
a representative group to act asa
park beard
This group will be given a sufficient
budget and authority to go
ahead with plans to make this area
a nice recreation spot for all of
this part of the state Wo have a
wonderful opportunity hero for
a nice city park Of course it will
take some hard work and planningTOWN TOPICS
