It's time for the trees along the highway to go! Over the
years there have been many wrecks in which the injuries or
fatalities might not have been as high had the auio not struck
a tree beside Highway 82.
Most rectgntaxample was the accident Tuesday night where
a tire appa£\sfly blew out, the car careening into a tree and
disintegration.
I implore whatever authorities control the matter to imme-
diately have those trees removed.

I made a perfectly stupid agreement with County Agent
ft-uce Griffith whereby I would say nothing if my alma mater,
Texas Tech, won die game, and if his did, die Aggies, he
wouldn't say anything to me. fortunately, JOE RANKIN of
Ralls was on hand later in the week to describe the whole thing
since Joe, Donald Wooten and Joe Elam flew down to Aggie -
land to watch Tech win the game.
Bruce is pretty good natured, bough,and did Just what he
did last year after the Aggies won. He listened and gTinned.
He did admit that he dreaded getting up Sun ay morning since
be knew what was coming from all his Tech friends.

Another Aggie, BILL HIGGINBOTHAM, wasn't "in" to phone
calls after the game, but ROBERT AND JO ANN LANCASTER
took about six feet of butcher paper and wrote him a message,
'Poor Aggies", and took it over to Bill's house sometime late
Saturday night.

Council Passes Weed Ordinance,
Tables SWPS Franchise Request
City Council members
Tuesday nigh; tabled for fur-
ther sttidy an application for
renewal of a franchise for
Southwtestem P u b 1 i c Service
for a 30 year period.
Southwestern Public Ser-
vice Company is now opera-
ting uhdera- 5C year franchise
due to run out in 1971.
The application offered the
City two percent of SWPS's
gross receipts within the City
excluding business with the
federal government or itsa-
ge'ncies, state, county, school
and city governments and
their departments. The pre-
sent ordinance does not call
for any percentage of gross.
Approval of the franchise
by the City would, in effect,
give an easement to South-
western Public Service Com-
pany for poles or underground
lines within the City, with
SWPS to be reasonable and
diligent in putting property /
back in order where excava-
tion is required.
The application was sub-
mitted by Lester Brown, SVTS
local manager.
