of a series of factual articles on the road
end bridge deficit of the Orange County
Government.)
If you have the inclination, you
have a legal right to go to the
county clerk's office in the court-
house at Orange during its regu-
lar hours and take a look at the
county budget for 1961.
But if you are only interested in
the part of it which has to do with
proposed spending out of the road
and bridge and farm-to-market'
road funds, we suggest that you
save your time.
Some of the figures you will find
in those sections of the budget are
meaningless.
The budget shows amounts
which are expected to be received
by the county government for road
and bridge work and for payment
of installments on money borrowed
in prior years for such work. [
Some of this money comes from j is
property taxes levied by the coun
ty government last year. Some of
it comes from delinquent taxes
paid for years prior to 1960.
Some of it will come from
fines for drunk driving, some from
a share of the state gasoline tax,

and $175,000 of it will be the coun-
ty government’s part of automobile
and truck license tag money which
it takes in this year.
The revenue items in the coun-
ty’s 1961 budget are reasonably ac-
curate. It’s the figures in the “ex-
penditures” column which will mis-
lead you unless you know some-
thing about the way Orange Coun-
ty’s road and bridge operations
are financed.
These figures will not show that
three of the county commissioners
used prior to Dec. ’31, 1960, a total
of $34,683 of the income estimated
in the revenue column.
Neither will they show that oh
Jah. 1. 1963, the four commission-
ers owed a total of $98,869 in cur-
rent bills which have been or will

figures on another document which
is on file at the courthouse. -This increase.)
report on' “Budget Expendi-
tures for Period Ending Dec.
3) 1960.” '
It shows that a total of $370,663
was budgeted for the road and
bridge and farm-to-market road
funds in 1960. It also shows that a
total of $676,833 was expended from
these funds, leaving a budget de-
ficit of $306,071.
These figures also are badly mis-
leading. The 1960 contribution to
the county’s $436,757 road and
j bridge deficit wasn’t anywhere
'near that big. (Actually, there was
a small reduction in the over all
.deficit last year — but too small to
be counted as substantial progress
toward retiring the debt.
The misleading figures result
from pecularities in the county
government’s horse - and - buggy
bookkeeping syslem — a system
that will be improved with a new
bookkeeping machine purchased
last year, but which still will leave
a lot to be desired.
So the average taxpayer who
goes to the courthouse for informa-
tion about the county’s road and
bridge debt situation won't get the
facts from county records unless
he knows how to go about it.
And county records can be used

which make the road and bridge
deficit appear to be somewhat
smaller than it actually is.

Recognizing that teachers are
the key to a quality educational
program, Orange school trustees
last night declared a policy of pay
raises to bring local district sal-
aries up to the.national $5,208 av-
erage.
This pay increase will vary with
the individual's experience, educa-
tional background and tenure. This
schedule will go into effect in Sep-
tember 1961.
Members .of the Orarmc Inde-
pendent School-.District Board last
night recognized' that such in-
creases will require about a 27-cunt
increase in the local district rate if
assistance is not received from
changes in the state’s minimum
foundation program.
However, as President Poyntz
Dunn put it, “Any increase in the
program will reduce the load on
the personal and real property
owners of the district. Members of
our board have expressed their
support of legislation which has
been introduced, in the current ses-
sion of th<* Texas Legislature to
provide for a raise in the base pay
of teachers of $800 per year.”
He continued, "We urge other
Orange citizens to give careful
study of this important phase of
the state's responsibility to aid
education and to make their wish
es known to those who represent
them.”
The average salary paid teach-
ers in the Orange district is $4,-
197. The average national salary
paid teachers is $5,208. The aver-
age salary for teachers of other
districts the Size of Orange is
$5,375.
In marked contrast is the ..aver-
age salary of teachers who are
employed in the school districts
ranked in the top i0 per cent in
the nation. This figure is $6,471,

vice president and general man-
ager of the Texas SRA, announced
here today that these steps will be
taken next:
1. His agency will begin confer-

2. Immediately after Gov. Price

final approval in the Senate yes-

3. In telephone conferences to-
day, the Louisiana and Texas
SRAs began work toward obtain-
ing Washington's approval for -use
of federal forest lands which will
be' inundated by the reservoir.
Simmons explained that the Tex-
as SRA already has pending be-
fore the board of water engi-

“Starting tomorrow we will be-

to lend $15 million to the project.
The two loans together with $30 <
million which the authorities ex-
pect to receive from the sale of
revenue bonds backed by contracts
for hydroelectric power, will pro-
vide financing for the $60 million
project.
“Before*work can actually start
on the project,” Simmons pointed
out, “we must secure the federal
government’s consent for use cf its
forest lands in Texas which wall be
inundated by the reservoir.”
Meantime, he added, his agency
and the Louisiana SRA will begin
working out preconstruction orob-
lems. He listed these as completion
of arrangements for financing, set-
ting up administrative organiza-
tions, and surveying the entire
perimeter of the reservoir prelim-
inary to the beginning of land ac-
quisition.
In this connection, Simmons
commented, “Although numerous
potential arrangements for recrea-
tion facilities will become possible
later on. the authority is natwpre-
pared at this time to enter into
negotiations on any of these”’
