City's Cash
Balance High
As Year Ends
A cash balance of $236,606.-
66 of all Grange municipal,
funds as of July 31 was re-
ported today by Mayor Sid J.
Caillavet. The figures was
based on a monthly report sub-
mitted by City Secretary Charle*
Cottle. . „
A breakdown shows the follow-
ing individual fund figures: gen-
eral fund, $96,178.63; bond sink-
ing fund. *81.290.51; parking meter
fund $10,623.92; oil royalty fund,
$20 891.58; and building fund, $27,-
622.02.
It was pointed out that the
balance in the oil royalty funds
would have been higher, however
$25,000 was designated for a
swimming pool for Negroes.
Mayor Caillavet said his ad-
ministration has paid $25,000 out
of parking meter funds for debts
incurred during the former ad-
ministration of Mayor Joe Run-
nels Jr. Runnels, elected to a
second term as mayor, will assume
his new duties Tuesday night. The
$25,000 expended went for street
improvements.
Not quite all of the general
fund balance will be available for
spending by the city during the
fiscal year which started Aug. 1.
Cottle said the July bills for ma-
terials and supplies are outstand-
ing but unable to estimate the
amount. Last year these bills ran
about $6,000. Cottle added.
Even after payment of the July
bills, however, the general fund
cash balance will be the largest
in a number of years.

Three of the youths were on
probation from previous juvenile

feared that in some of these in-

sent to state correctional in-

Hearings on Zoning Violations Postpoi
liff ill
An effort by some of the members of the Orange
Zoning-Board of Adjustment to enforce the toning
ordinance wa* temporarily sidetracked yesterday after-
noon in Corporation Court.
Hearings were scheduled: for three business operators
summoned to appear to answer charges of zoning viola-
tions. The cases were continued because of the absence
of attorneys representing the city and defendants. Judge
A. H. Prince continued the cases and said they probably
will be heard sometime next week. No definite date
has been sot.
The cases were the first such charges to come to trial
in six years, according to Building Inspector J. W. Win-
frey. Those named in the complaints were L. L. Patter-
son, Mr*. Edythe Barclay and Tracy Cooper.
I«\ tjie complaints. Patterson is named as operating
a piano selling business in a “C” district, Mrs. Barclay
as engaged in a floral sales business in a “B” district
and Cooper as operating a mattress factory in a "G"
district. .
An attorney representing two of the defendants had
to be in Houston for a hearing yesterday afternoon, City
Attorney E. L Reid was out of the city on an extended
trip and Jim Ramsey, chairman of the zoning board,
also was unable to be present.
Building Inspector Winfrey and W. B. Hilliard, mem-
ber of the zoning board, were both present. With no
legal counsel on hand to advise the court, Judge Prince
had no alternative but to continue the cases under the
circumstances.
Both Mr. and Mr*. Tracy Cooper attended h) ah
effort to obtain more details concerning the zoning law.
An informal discussion followed between the Coopers,
Winfrey and Hilliard.
In the discussions, it was brought out that the com-
plaints, initiated by the zoning board, were pushed
through to court action in an effort to put tome teeth
into the zoning ordinance and establish a clear-cut
policy regarding violations. ■ v
However, because of the absence of the attorneys, it
was impossible to establish such a precedent through
court aetjon. Violators can be fined from $5 to $200
upon conviction. In addition, each and every day such
a violation continues constitutes a separate offense.

LONDON (AP)—Red Chinn has refused even to accept a second
American proteat against the shooting down of a British airliner off
Hainan last month, diplomatic officials said today. Three Americans
were among the 10 persona killed in the attack.
The U.s! State Department diaclosed July 29 that the Peiping
regime had contemptuously turn
ed down American protests on
both that incident and a subse-
quent fighter attack on two Amer-
ican rescue planes in which the
attacker* were shot down.
The protest* were relayed by

nists refused for the second time
even to consider it.
The United State* does no(
recognize RFd China and ha* no

ing government.

said Tuesday the Chinese had put
themselves in the wrong by re-
fusing the protest*. He announced

“Russia has a total of 375 sub-

reasonable to expect that one-
quarter of them are in the
Pacific.”
