Civil Defense Costs
Will Be Paid By
Brazoria County
The Brazoria County Com-1
missioners* Court in a spe-j
eial session last Thursday,1
assumed full financial re-
sponsibility for a civil de-
fense program and named I
A T. (Tom) Covert, form-
er West Columbia mayor, as'
assistant county co-ordinator.
Mr. Ccvert’s appointment was
annou nced last week but no de-
tails were given then.
The court authorized trans-
fer of money from the general
f ind to defray cost of the pro-
gram or the remaining nine
months cf 1954 and set Covert’s
salary at $500 a month. He also
was given an automobile allow-
ice.
County Judge Jack Harrison
was n.’med co-ordinator in the
• recently adopted civil defense
’ program.
Judge Harrison said, after the
court session, that Brazoria
County v.’ill bear the entire cost
of the assistant co-ordinator and
monev a located by the various
cities o( the county can be used
locally.
Original Civil defense plans
made by mayors and the county
called for the county to pay
$6,000 and the cities and equal
amount on a $12,000 civil de-
fense budget However, this plan
was discarded when some of the
mayors failed to approve it.
Judge Harrison emphasized
that ’he civil defense organiza-
tion will be operated just as it
was approved at the joint ses-
sion. County civil defense will
be controlled by a civil defense
council composed of the county
judge and the nine mayors.
The only difference, he said,
is that the county will bear the
entire cost of the assistant co-
ordinator.

He said his employees had
been working at capacity for the
past two weeks. They have been
completing about 15 inspections
daily.
At Lawrence Bros., a new sta-
tion just set up about two
months ago, Kenneth Lawrence
said the number of daily in-
spections has dropped tc about
three a day.

facilities were first set up, we
handled about 10 every day,” he
said. We think most of our
regular customers have had

City Hail last month was not
only a larger amount than dur-
ing any single month last year
but was approximately a quart-
er of the total build ng in 1953
which amounted to $857,372.
Despite the record March fig-
ure however, building for the
first three months continued to
lag behind permits issued dur-
ing the same period last year.
The total for January, February
and March, 1953, was $271,822.
Thus far, thi; year, it is $266,404.
Sm?!! amounts of building
($18,000 in January and $7,200
in February) dragged the aver-
age down regardless of the
March ‘spurt”.
The $170,090 primary school
building is the main reason for
the upsurge However, eight
new residences were also begun.
With the opening of two
sub-divisions, building is
pected to increase steadily.

Six stations are set up to
