Grand Jury Report
tmmmmmrnmmm
Hallettsville, Texas.
October 7th, 1931.
Hon. Lester Holt, District
Judge:
We, your Grand Jury duly em-
paneled for the October Term of
the District Court of Lavaca
County, Texas, beg leave to here-
with submit our report:
We have diligetly examined
into all matters brought to our
attention and as a result of our
investigation have found 12 True
Bills, all of these being for
Felonies andnonefor Misdemean-
ors.
An inspection of the various
institutions and buildings be-
longing to the County showed
same to be kept in sanitary
condition.
We note the following recom-
mendation contained in the re-
port of the Grand Jury empanel-
ed for the October Term, 1930.
to-wit:
“It would appear from our in-
vestigations that an imperative
public necessity now exists for
such an audit and we therefor
recommend to the proper officials
that a competent and disinteres-
ted auditor be employed to make
a thorough examination of the
county’s books and records.”
We understand that such re-
commendation has not been fol-
lowed. We are now informed
that a number of citizens and
taxpayers have filed with the
Commissioner’s Court their peti-
tion that the books and records
of this county be audited, such
petition containing a statement
to the effect that in the event
the county does not wish to bear
the expense of such audit then
such petitioners will personally
pay for such audit. Without in-
tention of casting any reflection
upon any public official, but in-
asmuch as a previous Grand Jury
has found that an imperative
public necessity exists for such
audit, and further for the reason ;
that it appears to us that periodic!
audits are a matter of good busi-1
ness for any concern, and es-
pecially in view of the fact that
3uch audit can be procure! with- ^
out expense to the county, we j
feel that such petition should be
given the earnest consideration
of our Commissioner’s Court.
We desire to call the attention
of the constables of our county
to a law enacted by our last
legislature and relating to the j
appointment of deputy consta- J
bles. Such law provides in sub-'
stance that no constables of this
county shall be entitled to more
than one deputy and that in the
event a constable desires to ap-
point such deputy he must first
make written application to the
Commissioner’s Court showing
that it is necessary for such con-
stable to have the deputy to
handle the business of his. office;
and if the Commissioner’s Court
shall find that the constable is
in need of the deputy requested,
then in the event, only, the Com-
missioner’s Court shall approve
and confirm the appointment of
the deputy. Such act further pro-
vides that any person who serves
as a deputy constable without
the above provisions having been
complied with relative to his ap-
pointment or any constable who
issues a deputyship without the
consent and approval of the
Commissioner’s Court shall be
fined not less than fifty dollars
nor more than one thousand dol-
lars. We also desire to call atten-
tion to Art. 6869 R. C. S. which
provides that the number of dep-
uties appointed by the sheriff
shall be limited to three in the
precinct where the Court House
is situated and to one in each

St. Ludmila’s Academy Cemetery Association Meets
Friday
Evening Dairy School To-
Night
The Juniors and Seniors had
quite an exciting time when each | An important meeting of the
group met to elect officers forj cemeterv- Association will be

completed their election, it was; at the Library. A large atten-
as follows; President, Gertrude J dance 0f membership is de-
Carville; Treasurer, Hattie Jaks; j Bjrecj_
Social Committee, Annie Hybner
and Edith Kubecka.
As the officers are quite en-
thusiastic about the honor con-
ferred upon them, the duties of
each will undoubtedly be con-
scientiously carried out, especial-
ly as this is their last year at St.
Ludmila’s. The Juniors are not
lacking in enthusiasm towards
the duties imposed upon them by
their classmates. Those elected
to steer the little book' of the
Junior group are President,
Felix Marek; Treasurer, Emily
Krai; Social Committee, ‘ Helen
Schultz and Joe Pustka.
All are anxiously awaiting
their class insignia, the Seniors
their rings; the Juniors, their
pins. Mary Kajs
The class had about 20 in at-
tendance Thursday night and
the school commenced testing
the milk of various herds. The
results of this test will be given
at to-night’s session, so that the
arranging of permanent records j
for final calculations can be
made. Instructor Kingen informs
the Gazette that it is not too late
to enroll. Every lesson is impor-
tant and those who did not start
at the beginning have missed c ass
some very valuable information.
Come out to-night and enroll be-
fore the class gets too far ahead
of you.
Vocational Class Visits
Gonzales Fair
The first year class of the Vo-
vational Agricultural Class of
the High School accompanied by
their instructor, W. E. Kingen,
spent Friday afternoon at the
Gonzales Fair.
They saw fine exhibits of hogs,
dairy and beef cattle, also poul-
try and agricultural, as well as
excellent school exhibits. The
time was well spent and the edu-
cational features of the fair up
to the usual high standards of
the Gonzales exhibition. The
class thought the hog exhibits
surpassed those of previous
years. An unusual feature of the
vocational Agricultural class this
year is the fact that the enroll
ment of girls is so much greater
than the number of boys in the

Meeting of Businese Men’s
Club
Shiner Business Men’s Club
met in regular session Thursday
of last week, in noonday lunch-
eon at the Royal Cafe. The Com-
munity Chest committee Ad
Richter, C. J. Garbade and E,
Runk reported membership cards
printed and placed in business
bouses and with only one week
to report on, there was just one
worthy charitable case helped out
of some three or four applicants.
When these solicitors are re-
ferred to Mayor Runk at the
State Bank, for the committee to
pass on their credentials, they
do not all report but they do
leave town for they know their
“credential cards” will not stand
an investigation. The Community
Chest and its competent com-
mittee has already manifested to
the citizenship its beneficial re-
sults in placing funds only to
the worthy, thus saving our
citizenship many misplaced con-
tributions and protecting the
funds for those who are really
deserving. No additional report
from the entertainment com-
mittee composed of Peter Kuhn,
Dr. A. A. Darilek, Ad Richter,
Arno Wagener and Arthur H.
Kaspar.
The Bargain Day committee
composed of Peck Welhausen,
Frank Rubin, Elo Wolters, A. J.
Berckenhoff, C. B. Welhausen,
C. J Garbade and C. C. Amsler
had only the last two present
but both Mr. Amsler and Mr.
Garbade reported success beyond
all expectations. Some general
suggestions were made as to
improvements on future bargain
days and these suggestions were
referred to the committee for
consideration. The Sect-Treas.
reported $28 in luncheon fees
collected for Oct. and paid to
Royal Cafe. The amount of $8.25
collected as dues from 33 mem-
bers. Total dues on hand $15.
Suggestions for the year’s work
outlined and filed with the Sect,
were read. The Pres, announced
| he would appoint a committee at
the next meeting to report on
these suggestions.
