Taxpayers League For
End to Cameron s
Optional Servi c e s
As Economy Move
The lives of the preventive health
unit farm agent service home
agent service and other optional
county functions were at stake Mon-
day in a lively budget hearing be-
fore the Cameron county commis-
sioners' court.
A tentative budget prepared by
the auditors office left off these
optional services in arriving at a
reduction of about $20000 from the
budget of this year. The 1936
budget called for an expenditure of
$227253 as compared to $207900 for
1937
Dancy For Retention
Dropping of these optional serv-
ices precipitated heated discussion
by proponents and opponents of the
optional services. County Judge O.
C. Dancy was prepared to submit
orders for the retention of the serv-
ices after full discussion of the mat-
ters at the public hearing.
Numerous farmers took the floor
to intercede in behalf of the farm
agent and home agent servi.
maintaining that these services
were more important to them than
any other governmental functions
Judge Dancy pointed out that the
senaces do not cost the county as
much as the salary of a county-
wide official.
One farmer declared that these
services are worth many thousands
of dollars to the county because
through them hundreds of farmers
have been kept off the relief rolls.
It is better he asserted to spend
a relatively small amount teaching
the farmers how to take care of
themselves through the lean years
than it would be to take care of
them through relief methods.
The other side of the question was
presented by C. C. Went/ head of
the County Taxpayers' association
who drew cheers from taxpayers.
‘I do not doubt for one bit the
fine work being done by the farm
agent and home agent” Wentz told
the gathering “but that is not the
question. As excellent as these serv-
ices are. we taxpayers just cannot
afford them. Reductioas must be
made to give our taxpayers relief."
He declared that hundreds of
Cameron county property owners
are going to lose their holdings if
they do not obtain relief.
The speaker declared that the
county taxes were low but not low
enough. The real trouble he said
is failure of other taxing agencies
to follow the county's lead in mak-

Ann Cooper Hewitt sterilised heiress
returns Monday to an interrupted
clash of wits with defense counsel for
two physicians on trial for mayhem.

ecution witness was interrupted by

acy” against her mother. Mrs Mary-
on Cooper Hewitt.

tion Miss Hewitt further about her
$500000 damage suit against Mrs. He-
witt and Drs Tilton E. Tillman and
Samuel G. Boyd charging they trick-
ed her into a surgical operation that
left her sterile.
The defense attorney drew a dental
from both the petite heiress to the
Peter Cooper Hewitt fortune and her
lawyer. Russell P. Tyler that the
damage action was part of an alleged
conspiracy to extort "large sums"
from Mrs. Hewitt.
