Vital McLennan
Road Bond Issue
Defeated At Polls
The vital McLennan County
Road Bond Issue was defeated
at the polls Saturday in a coun-
ty-wide election. Only 19 per
of the voters turned out. In
West voters cast 172 ballots FOR
and 120 AGAINST the road
bond.
The $3 million road bond is-
sue had a total amount of 4,08^
votes For the issue and 3.414
votes Against. The bonds ac-
tually got a majority of 666
votes, but that was far from
being enough because a two-
thirds majority is required for
such bond issues.
For the bond issue to have
carried in the County another
2,748 votes For the issue would
have been needed with the op-
position remaining the same
number,
The rejection of this road
bond issue is the first pne ever
opposed in the history of Mc-
Lennan County, at least in the
memory of present veteran of-
fice holders. But it is not the
first time a county bon'd' issue
was turned down.
Opposition to the bonds ap-
peared to be based on three ma-
jor grounds:
1) a belief that the state
should take over the buying of
all right of way from gasoline
taxes and license fee revenues;
2i oppositon to as much as
$3 million (a $1 million issue
may have met more favor) be-
cause the $3 million would have
required long-term bonds and a
12-cent tax increase; and
3) opposition to more taxes.
The bond issue was proposed
to replenish the county’s ex-
hausted right of way funds and
to provide $1 million to rehabili-
tate roads and bridges in the
countv which are the sole re-
sponsibility of the county.
State National Bank Lets
Contract For New Building
SIGNING THE CONTRACT - R. R. Jones Jr., contractor, and
Jeiome J. Lednicky, State National Bank Vice-President and
Cashier, look on with interest while CIayton Edwards, State Na-
tional Bank President, signs the contract awarded to Jones for the
construction of the new State National Bank Building.
The commissioners court now
has three courses to take fol-
lowing the defeat of Ijhe issue:
1) submit another bond issue
later for a smaller total sum;
2) levy such taxes as bond fi-
nancing would require and use
the proceeds to accumulate a
cash right of way fund;
3) do nothing.
Roger Lands entered Texas
Children’s Hospital in Houston
Sunday and underwent surgery

West Trojans Prepare For Opening Game Sept. 2
In preparation for their
opening game September 2 in
West against Cameron, the West
High Trojans have been work-
ing out for the past couple of
weeks and one Tuesday night
of this week held a scrimmage
with: University High of Waco.
Against the AAA school the
Trojans looked good, holding
their own on both offense and
defense, but looked especially
good on defense.

Mrs, Jeff Steele of Abbott,
who was seriously burned on
August 11 remains in the Hills-
and | boro Clinic suffering from see-
ders will find their class- ond and third degree burns.
Although the Trojans have
been picked to finish no higher
than fourth in District 17 A A
by Dave Campbell in his new
Texas Football magazine, local
fans feel West will have another
good team.
In his magazine Campbell
states: “In what could be one
of the toughest Central Texas
district races in years, Gates-
ville gets the slim nod over Mar-
lin and Hillsboro, but make no
bets.”
Listing West under Hillsboro,
the magazine said: “West, fresh
from its first title in history,
will be weaker, but guard Eu-
gene Bajer will still be a stand-
out, Weldon Willig at halfback
and Gene Lednicky, all-district
end, also brighten the picture.”
Leading the Trojans again
will be West's first title winning
Coach Derrell Carlile. Carlile at-
tended Mexia High School prior
mit. Texas.
Assistant Trojan coach La Von
Cox attended Galena Park High
School where he played varsity
football and baseball. At Rice
Institute he earned two letters
in football playing tackle, and
two in baseball playing catcher
and third base. Cox’s first
coaching job was in West last
season, and he came to town
promising he could produce a
“good line.” He fulfilled' his
promise, and indications are
that West’s line will be out-
standing again this season.
Tommy Flood, new assistant
coach at West High, is a grad-
uate of John Tarleton Agricul-
tural College, and a 1960 grad-
uate of Texas A. and M.. where
he majored in physical edu- J
cation, with, a minor in mathe-
matics. At A and M he partici-
pated in football and worked as
a student coach in 1959. He
completed his student teaching
in the Navasota Public Schools.
