r'.-irnf-e of a word. ♦ •
! Toe -cnator ^md the spring flood damage in Texas
f’.ad been compiled t>v VS. etigineera.'
He listed these damages for thfj^krious Texas river
hgs’ns a= estimated bs ’be engineer* At: Red River. 11
jniliion dollars: Sabine, i2.'’00.000; Trinhv. J7 milhftn;
Fra-os; • million; Colorado, *2.200.(100; G«i»da»upe-
S»r' Antonio. Slfl.UOfl.flflfl,
Then he said. “The unfortunate tryth is tH»t a hpsin-
yvnde plan of improvement has never been completed on
am- Texas river. The natural result is that manv Texas
pi ers, in fact, most of them, still lack basinifcide pro-
tection."
The word we take exception to is ‘ plan.'' We believe
th* senator meant ‘‘program” because be is aware that
the Sabine River Authnrifv of Texas has. completed a
hayinu-id* plan and is making rapid progress toward
it —-■— ,,
^ " Mjke this one chacige in wording amt we agree with
Sen. .lohjiiFon completely.
It* should be pointed out^ however that baginwide
planning asThe SRA’s general manager. John W. Sim-
mons pointed out when he publ.icfv adi'anced a similar
-idea some weeks ago. must entail basilvwdde authorities
rarrviog on a statewide program within policies set by
the State Board of Water Engineers.
Johnson said he was working every'dnv to get sur-
vev's made (apparently bv the Corps of Engineers| of
a]] th« Texas rivers. He added. ‘‘It must go right along
with the effort to get construction started on projects
the/ already ha' e been surveyed and autJufSfvted."
Again, we agree With him hut suggest that Congress
provide some arranj?ennent through which local river
basin authorities can refuse federal financial participa-
tion if thevdon't need or want it without jeopardising
their program
O. D. CrAwford of lasper *avs rhe
1955 figure should have been used
for both I95A sad |9.v. * snie
mem th*t ignore* the fact that
miyt valuanoo* in the are* of ih*
county where this jHoperiv is lo-
cated were raised a» the same
time. •.
To lurfher cntnolicate this oroh-
lem there is a deed dated May
9 ISM. filed the same <j>v witn
the roun’ty clerk* office that
transfers from SSAD to E-Tex a
toral of 959.990 seres of land in 1.1
East Texas counties, including 10.-
15* in Orange CountV.
Accordins to the term* of this
deed. SSAD did not own any land
in Orange County on -l*n 1, 1957.
Yet it rendered the asm* 19.JI9.9I
acres it had on th* tax rolls last
ywr. .
ActusIIv, the two companies in-
volved ire noi too seriously dis-
turbed sboui the. amount of their
Orange County valuations h u t
seem in be sore(v afraid of what
might htppen « ith respect to the
other BA4.237 seres they own else-
where in East Texas.
Thity figure includes 154,774 acres
In Hardin County, 159.909 in laaper
County. 175,177 in Newton Counrv
and 95.140 in Tyler County, all of
ii on Ihe coumy isx roll.* *i de-
pression-level figures. The owners
are afraid an increase to. Orange m*
Coumy valuaiions will mean an in-
crease m valuations of other coun-
ties, •
This same fear is behind a two-
year tax strike sgains; the Vidor
Independent School District, to
which they now owe t14.S13.93 in
taxes, penalty and Interest.
It elso was behind the much-
publicived: strike of SSAD against
the Newton County Water Supply
District, which pm irs laiid on the
tax coll at an average of *25.19 »n
acre while it was on th* county
roll* for 15.50

"Mv wife believed in me. hut her'
