To CITY
City Commissioners listened to
an appeal from Chandler of Com-
merce President Leslie Kaiser X:
Mr, Mitchell Barbus who are
trying to improve the city's
Christmas decorations this year.
Both men pointed out that mer-
chants are trying to extend the
decorations to some areas that
were not covered last ytar, but
contributions are running at a-
Ixml hal‘ of what they were last
year. Light stringers cost around
$110.(Ml each and about 11 strin-
gers are needed along with other
items.
Commissioner Dr. David Wat-
son moved that the city match
up lo $.‘>00 of civic contributions
and this was seconded by Com-
missioner Johnny Leo|xild and ap-
proved unanimously by the coun-

commissioners divided themselves
Over how much to pay for the
translormers now Ixdng list'd by
the city. During the city’s power
failure days several transformer*
were secured through an Auslin
concern. If was estimated that the
city could purchase these trans-
formers for $2,000 or return them
after jxivver supply had been res-
tored to normal. The eily was
advised by another source that
the transformers could probab-
ly bt. purchased for $1,200 dollars
and council instructed eitv mana-
ger Swenson to make the offer
which was turned down. The
Council then voted 2-2 in favor
of buying three 200 KVA tr;ms-
formers from the city of Austin
for $2,(XX). Mayor Gibson, and
commissioners Carl Yaws anil
Dr. David Watson voted in favor
of the transaction and com-
missioners Johnny Leopold and
Henry Matthew were in op-
ixisition.

CITY CLERK WARMS
HEART OF COMMISSIONERS
City Clerk Harvey Stary
brought sweet music to the ears
of city commissioners and seem-
ingly they glowed with warmth.
Mr. Sinrv had been cheeking the
city's various accounts and found
that cnnsidcrahl,. sums of money
which had been appropriated for
various projects and not s|>ent,
were just dormat and not drawing
interest. This money will lx' plac-
ed with insured investment sour

After plunging into the loss
column for the fourth time
last week against SI. Join’s of
Houston, Coach Russell Judd &
the SJH Tigers are almost
certain of a very 'ice;a d vic-
tory over the Flatonia Bull-
dogs Friday niglit in Flatonia.
The Bulldogs have a 1-3 re-
cord with their only victory be-
ing chalked up against Burton
7-16 last week after three con-
secutive losses lo Louise Sheri-
dan, and Garwood.
Coach Judd mentioned that
the game should be a close one
around the score of 12-7 Tigers
Even though St Joseph's went
down to di feat last week PM),
they played one of their last
games of the season and are
looking forward to bringing
home victory cumber eee.
Tibs season the Tigers have
a number of ^experienced boy s,
primarily freshmen and so-
phomores who are improving
.steadily as time goes by.
\c alteratioi - have been made
in the T'gers starling lineup
except that Bolerl Bi’IiIk will
be lost to thi team fei a eou-
Tle of weeks- with a broken
foot. Mike Wild will see li-
mited action against Flatonia

he received last week.
