With six minut' <
left on the clock Ceu-
ar Hill was trailing
14- 6 and facing 4 and
7 when all hell broke
loose and trie Long-
horns stampeded with
a force that knocked
the Joshua Owls right
off tneir roosts.
, ‘ With two minutes
to go and a score of
15- 14, the Longhorns
scored to bring the
total 22-14 for the
Horns who then in-
tercepted a pass for
a TD to bring the
score to 28-14 in fa-
vor of the hometown
team.
Cedar Hill put 22
points on the score-
board in the last period
of the game to rack
up a 28—14 win for the
Longhorns.
Outstanding players
were Robert Switzer,
Mike Smith and Don
West, all with touch-
down runs to their
credit. Lavoy Hend-
ricks came in for his
moment of glory when
he picked off a Joshua
* ga
At halftime Joshua
was ahead by 7 points.
In the third quarter
Cedar Hill scored a TD
but failed for the extra
point try. In the fourth
quarter, the Longhorns
really came alive and
plucked the Owls tail-
feathers to the delight
of their wildly cheering
fans.
Friday the Longhorns
will meet Crowley
again on Longhorn
Field for the final game
of the season. It will
be the toughest com-
petition yet for the
CedarHill boys but one
they hope to tuck into
their winning pocket.

Mrs. Kenneth Wells Addresses Council
Citizens Demand
Police Protection
Highway Scheduled
.
For Comoletion
' The Texas Highway
Department is follow-
ing a schedule which
calls for completion
of the Interstate 20
freeway between Fort
Worth and Dallas in
1974, Assistant Dist.
Engineer J.R. Stone
said Tuesday in Fort
Worth.
Stone said this
timetable provides
that the Texas High-
way Commission will
award the final Tar-
rant County construc-
tion contract in De-
cember. This contract
•\will involve the seg-
ment between Farm
Highway 157 in Ar-
lington and the Dal-
las County line.
"We will need about
two and a half or three
years to complete
this segment," Stone
said. "The last work
in Dallas County will
be completed about the
same time. We antici-
pate that the freeway
will begin carrying
traffic between Fort
Worth and Dallas
late in 1974."
The Highway De-
partment may open the
section between south-
east Fort Worth and
Farm Highway 157 in
1973, the engineer
said.
The freeway will
branch from Loop 820
at a newly construc-
ted interchange in the
Forest Hill-Kennedale
area at the south-
east fringe of Fort
Worth. It will skirt
the south edge of Lake
Arlington and run
through South Arling-
ton along the general
route of Pleasant Ridge
Road.
Then, afte cutting
through the south part
of Grand Prairie, it
will connect with the
Dallas freeway system
in the Duncanville
area.
Cross-country mo-
torists will be able
to skirt the Downtown
sections of Fort
Worth and Dallas by
using Fort Worth's
Loop 820, the Inter-
state 20 freeway and
Dallas' Loop 635.
The U.S. 287 free-
way (Poly Freeway )
wll connect Downtown
Fort Worth with the
Interstate 20 freeway.
The U.S. 67 freeway
will link it with Down-
town Dallas.
The freeway project
has already spurred
commercial and resi-
dential developments
in South Arlington and
South Grand Prairie.
The Highway Com-
mission awarded a
contract last month for
extending State High-
way 360 southward to
connect with Inter-
state 20 iR the Ar-
lington area. This will
give Interstate 20
motorists a direct
route/ to the south
entrance of the re-
gional airport.
*•
Fort Worth's West
Freeway now carries
the Interstate 20 de-
signation, which ends
at the "Mixmaster"
interchange in the
Downtown area. Stone
said studies will de-
termine which free-
way will get the
Interstate 20 designa-
tion between the
Downtown area and
the Fort Worth-Dal-
las area now under
construction.
Fort Worth's West
freewav could receive
the designation. Or
it could go to South
Freeway, which al-
ready carries the In-
terstate 35W designa-
tion.
If the "free zone"
at the west end of the
Dallas - Fort Worth
Turnpike is extended,
the Highway Depart-
ment could route In-
terstate 20 traffic over
the Turnpike to Loop
820 and then south on
this freeway.
An orderly but deter-
mined group of citizens
promised Mayor T. W.
Cannady and membes
of the Cedar Hill City
Council "We will be
back every Council
meeting until, some-
thing is done about
police protection in
Cedar Hill," Tuesday
evening at .the counciFs
regular session.
Chief spokesman for
the unorganized group
was Mrs. Kenneth
Wells. Supporting her
demands were approx-
imately a dozen other
men and women re-
porting incidents rang-
ing from child mole-
station. burglaries and
vandalism, to threats
of chain beatings. Ex-
cessive speeding in the
vicinity of playing
children was another
hazard cited by the
speakers.
Two mothers re-
ported incidents in-
volving children —both
said they had reported
incidents to the County
Sheriff's Department.
There was no criti-
cism of the County Law
Enforcement group--
speakers said they
realized the lawmen
were operating diffi-
cult circumstances
with too wide a range
of territory to be ef-
fective.
"We are willing to pay
higher taxes" they said
when the question of
money came up. "We
can't wait a year for
police protection in
Cedar Hill."
It was reported that
there had recently been
a higher incident of
street lights being shot
out in the city.
Mr. Richard Bajorek,
a new resident, said
"I'm new here but I
have four children
with a fifth on the way
and I am concerned. I
want my home protect-
ed and I am willing to
pay higher taxes.
Another resident, Mr.
John Prasifka spoke up
and said "If Woodland
Hills can afford a pol— \
ice department and
Cedar Hill cannot, it
makes Cedar Hill look
bad." He expressed
himself as in favor of
the police department.
Mrs. Gene Nietzel
whose home was rob-
bed a year ago spoke
up in support of the
police department.
Another gentleman
who reported he had
a boat stolen spoke fo
add his voice to ihc
creation of a Police
Department.
Several men spoke up
and said they would be
glad to volunteer and
to take training as re-
serve policeman sh-
ould the city see lit to
create a police unit.
Councilman Richard
Bell recommended a
sludy be made to de-
termine the feasibility
of a police department.
He suggested the coun-
ci I meet in a group
with the County Sheriff
to determine if further
protection could be
given to Cedar Hill.
Councilmen Jack
Woodrum and Phil
Wood both supported
him
If was brought out that
a study is being made
by county officials of-
the law needs of the
city.
Upon questioning of
the costs of setting up
a police department it
was said that $35,000
would be needed to
equip the force proper-
ly, basing the need on
a four man force.
It was also pointed out
by one of the speakers
that fines would pro—
. vide revenue to help
run the police depart-
ment. It was cited
that an area city re-
cently fined 12 boys
$25 each for drunken-
ess and the speaker
commented "This hap-
pens all the time in
Cedar Hill."
In other action the
council turned down
zoning changes for
Leslie Hill and B. B.
Short. Both requests
had been approved by
the City Zoning Com-
mission.
The water plans for
the city were discussed
and it was reported that
some minor changes
were being made in
the contract with Dal-
las which is to be dis-
cussed for approval at
a later date. Chris
Hadji son, city admin-
istrator, reported that
the Water Development
Board Application had
not been heard from
yet but should arrive
soon. He said it would
answer how that board
felt about providing
money , to Cedar Hill
tor a wafer line iney
would not own. The
city entineer's re-
port, also giVen by
Mr. Hadjison, said that
costs for the water line
IQ. Dallas, including re-
servoir and towel, plus
lines, would be around
$475,000.
< Jack Redd gave a re-
port on the current tax
situation and reported
that he did not approve
of portions of the
appraisal methods by
the Baker Company,
professional apprai-
sers. He did think they
might do a good job on
the commercial appra-
isals. There are now
approximately 85com-
mercial and industrial
firms in the city. Mr.
Redd fell he could
handle the residential
appraisals.
Ordinance No. 305
was adopted regulating
traffic in the vicinity
of schools.. .
Reports concerning
the wage and price in-
crease affected by the
current freeze was
discussed by the city
attorney.
The attorney also
discussed the matter of
land condemnation by
the city for a local
developer. It was de-
cided the developer
should work out this
problem and no action
was taken.
The Council voted to
waive the $50 zoning
fee for the local Mas-
onic Lodge and to allow
them to build on their
lot without a hearing.
The low bidder on the
trucks needed by the
city could not deliver
and the city council
voted to accept the
next lowest bid.
The council approved
that bids be taken for
painting and cleaning
of the city well tower
and reservoir and also
to take bids for two
way radios needed by
city trucks.
