Three Fire Calls
Keep Fireman Busy
Three fire calls, two of them
Thursday morning. June 16,
keep the Llano Volunteer Fire
Department men hopping over
the past five days.
The first fire occurred at the
trailer home of Mrs. J.A.
Gilstrap at 110 E. Tarrant. “I
smelled something burning
while watching TV,” Mrs.
Gilstrap said. “Then when a
cabinet door was opened,
smoke started coming from
under the sink.”
After turning off the electri-
city, Mrs. Gilstrap called the
Fire Department. Firefighters
located the site of the burning
and removed some burned
insulation from underneath
the trailer. Probable cause of
the fire was supposedly an
electrical short caused by a
nest of kittens who made their
home nearby.
The second incident Thurs-
day morning occurred at the
home of Mrs. Wallace Hazel-
wood at 507 E. Sandstone,
Mrs. Hazelwood said she had
just turned on her electric
stove when It began popping
“just like gunshots” and
emitting smoke.
Firefighters simply discon-
nected the stove, which had
apparently shorted out.
The third and most serious
fire occurred about 10 a.m.
Saturday night, June 18 at the
Harlan Tribble home on E.
Hamilton St. Fire Chief Be-
verly Harden described the
house as “pretty well burned”
before the flames were at last
quelled. “It was gutted,” said
Harden, "nothing worth sav-
ing.” Llano firefighters used
2500 gallons of water to
extinguish the blaze.

City Council Hears
Telephone Request
At their Monday night, June
20, meeting, the City Council
heard a request from General
Telephone Company fora new
franchise basis.
Addressing the Council,
General Telephone's Tee
Weeks told Council members
that "We are operating under
a franchise agreement that has
expired years ago.’’
Under the current agree-
ment, the General Telephone
company has a one year
contract renewable each year.
The phone company is seeking
a new arrangements for 20
year option.
A discussion took place over
a clause in the current contract
over the "pole clause agree-
ment” in which Mayor John
Landon and City Manager
George Rogers disdained the
clause for its ambiguity. "Why
don’t you have your attorney
ask the City Attorney if we
could just omit this clause?”
Landon asked Weeks.
The discussion ended with
Weeks promising the .Council
to seek some clarification on
the pole clause agreement and
also promising to make ar-
rangements to have the com-
pany's attorney contact the
City Attorney to possibly work
out a new agreement.
In other business, the
Council unanimously passed
a motion by Councilman R.L.
Adams to close part of Market
Street and make that closed
portion available to owners of
adjacent businesses, to wit:
the Sisters Bake Shop, the
Llano Fine Arts Guild and the
nearby fur shop. The Council
further voted to accept an offer
of $50 each from the Sisters
Bake Shop and the Art Guild.
The Council also heard a
Police report and City Mana-
ger's report, as well as a
resolution from the Llano
County Tax Appraisal District.
