Deadline
AUSTIN — The Director of
the Texas Department of Pub-
lic Safety today reminded the
1,300,000 motor vehicle owners
who haven't secured their
1963 inspection stickers that
they only have three weeks to
do so.
Col. Homer Garrison Jr. said
that as the April 15 deadline
for inspections approaches,
waiting lines will begin form-
ing at the 5,000 official inspec-
tion stations.
"Under the law there can be
no extension of the deadline,
and motorists who fail to dis-
play the new sticker on and
after April 16 are subject to
arrest," he said.
Authority for the enforce-
ment of the provisions of the
Motor Vehicle Inspection Act
Is vested in law enforcement
officers of the Texas Depart-
ment of Public Safety, any sher-
iff or deputy sheriff and any
city policeman.
Garrison pointed out that in
the three remaining weeks of
the inspection period, there is
sufficient time for the remain-
ing vehicles to be inspected
without inconvenience provided
the owners act promptly.
"We are very well pleased,"
he said, "with the contribution
that the vehicle inspection pro-
gram has made toward reducing
accidents on our streets and
highways. We hope that through
the continued cooperation of
the people of Texas, these ac-
cidents can be further reduced."

Because I believe that the electorate of the City of Rusk
expressed its unqualified approval of the principles and
platform of the successful candidates at the last City elec-
tions on April 3, 1962, and August 14, 1962, and because
1 am committed to bringing those principles and objectives
to a reality, 1 am offering myself as a candidate for re-elec-
tion for Councilman for the City of Rusk, and pledge to the
public my continued and active support of the following:
1, Offices of City Marshal, City Attorney and City Secretary should be and re-
main elective and not appointive.
2. All proceedings and actions of the City Council shall be open to the press and
public unless otherwise required by law.
3. Responsible fiscal policies and efficient business administration ol city af-
fairs.
4. Workable, practical and progressive traffic and parking ordinances.
5. Refraining from individual promises, commitments, or action regarding mat-
ters properly the responsibility of the entire City Council.
6. Further progress in the City paving and sewer extension programs, including
all areas within the City limits and connecting the present paved street
through the negro quarters to the new extension of the Atoy Farm-to-Market
Road connecting same to the old Alto Highway.
The present City Councilmen are now working together with much harmony and
a large sewer extension and paving program is in the process of becoming a reality so
that practically every area within the City limits will have City sewage, and I believe
it will be to the best interest of the City as a whole for the present Councilmen to be
permitted to continue working in harmony on these programs. To this end I earnestly
solicit your vote and support in the next regular election to be held on Tuesday, April
2, 1963.
MAURICE G. HIGGINS
We, the undersigned members of the City Council, who
were elected on the basis of the foregoing platform and
principles, heartily congratulate the continued subscrip-
tion of Maurice G. Higgins to these same principles, and
pledge to him and to the people of Rusk our continuing
work and support for these objectives and, if he is re-elect-
ed, our fullest cooperation toward their accomplishment.
