Property Owners
Discuss Paving
mgm:.
A group of property owners, re-
siding on Main, Spring and Green
streets, together with the Mayor and
several members of the City Council,
met Tuesday night in the City Hall
for the purpose of discussing the pro-
posal to macadamize three of the
Grand Saline streets.
The present plan calls for a con-
tribution from each property owner
of the sum of 16 cents per front foot.
It is estimated that this sum will pay
two-thirds of the cost, and the city
proposed to pay the other one-third.
The type of road proposed is 20
feet wide, with a crushed rock base
and a three-fourths inch top of as-
phalt. An estimate of the cost was
furnished by Carl Hitt, State Higb-
wuy engineer.

tax figures on pork products.
Mr. Miller stated that the farmers
were, under a recent ruling, exempt
from paying the tax on dressed pork,
provided they did not sell more 300
pounds during the year. However, if
the farmer markets more than 300
placed himself on a commericial basis,
and cannot claim exemption for the

THOS. R. BOND
In presenting to you my candidacy
for your vote and influence for re-
election as your District) Judge, I am
not unmindful of the fact that you
•re more interested in the ability-and
character of the individual whom you
may select to preside over your
Courts, than you are in his financial,
political or personal ambition.
Your District Court is the highest
and most important trial Court of your
State, and cannot be any better than
the ability of the judge whom you
select. If your business is disposed
of with dispatch, fairness, impartially
and with ability as to the law, it les-
sens expense to tax-payers, dis-
courages appeals tand /reversals on
appeal.
No Appeals Reversed
I have now served one year as your
District Judge, have tried many
cases, not a reversal of any case on
appeal, but each case appealed has
been affirmed. The last grand-jury
of Van Zandt County in their report
said: “We are glad to note that the
Criminal docket of the district Court
is in good shape, very few cases to
carry over, the docket is in better
shape than it has been in years.” The
same condition of the docket in
Kaufman and Rockwall Counties ex-
istys as it does in Van Zandt County.
My Appointment,
When I was appointed by your
Governor, I did not solicit the appoint-
ment, not a word passed between the
Governor and I in regard to my ap-
pointment, other than he asked me
.if I would accept it. I told him I
would. He informed me that
numerous persons, including a few
friends from Van Zandt and Kaufman
Counties, had asked that I be ap-
pointed. The governor and I had
favorably known each other several
years. A few weeks previous, Gover-
nor Jim Ferguson, with whom I was
also well acquainted, spoke of the
vacancy that would occur by reason
of my brother having been elected to
one of the Appellate Courts, and in
that conversation he told me Ijhat “if
the appointment fell to tjhe Ferguson
administration and if I wanted the
place, I should have it»” The plain,
unvarnished simple truth is (that
some one had to be appointed, I gave
up my law practice, as the, law
requires, and accepted thte appoint-
ment. y
Hava Done My Beet k
I have no apology to offer for any
official act, in this position or any
best to serve
fairness,
