School Trustees Talk Special
Education Units, Textbooks
Requests for three additional Board to approve two educa-
special education units for
Silsbee Schools in 1971-72 and
for appointment of a 15-mem-
ber textbook committee for
1971 were topics set for discus-
sion by the Board of Education
of the Silsbee Independent
School District at its regular
Dec. 9 meeting, Supt. Don L.
Hough reported Tuesday.
Hough said that although the
special ed request would not
appear on the agenda for the
tional units for “educable men
tally retarded” (EMR) and one
unit for “minimal brain injur-
ed” special education students
,to be set up in September 1971.
The three proposed units
would boost the projected spe-
cial ed enrollment to approxi-
mately 185 students. Present
enrollment in six units is 72,
with 75 more students expected
in January, 1971, when the re-
cently approved speech therapy
meeting, he would ask the unit is due to get underway.

Silsbee Police investigated
two cases of vandalism and a
$510 jewelry store burglary
over the weekend of Dec. 4-6.
The burglary, of Frank's
Jewelry Store, 135 East Avenue
H, was first reported by an un-
known man who told employ-
ees of Hardin Drug, next to the
jewelers, that the window had
been smashed.
Patrolman James I*. Doane
arrived at the scene at 10:16
a. m. Sunday, and found that
the west showcase window had
been broken out, so that the
thief could “pick out items of
his choosing.”
A later inventory showed 1he
following items missing: four
ladies watches of from $70 to
$150 value; a man’s watch, val-
ued at $100; and a watch brace-
let valued at $20.95, Total value
of the stolen goods is $510.95.
Also, on Friday and Satur-
day, Patrolmen Doane and
Marvin L. Morgan investigated
cases of vandalism at East
Texas Transit Mix on West
Avenue J and at the United
Pentecostal Church, Highway
327 East.
Doane said that a west win-
dow of the concrete jobber’s of-
fice was smashed with a piece
of concrete, but that no attempt
was made at entry. Incident
was reported by A. E. Johnson,
owner of the business.
Morgan said that vandals
gained entry to the church on
Highway 327 and scrawled ob-
scenities on walls in a hall,
rooms and a blackboard, and
had urinated on the floor of the
baptistry. The incident is under Farmer Funeral Home
investigation by Police. bee.

was to meet at the courthouse
in Kountze Wednesday after-
noon at 3 p. m. in an effort to
implement the order of United
States District Judge Joe J.
Fisher of Beaumont which
called for them to adopt a plan
by Dec. 10 and present it to
Hardin County Commissioners
Court by Dec. 14.
The new chairman of the
Committee, Dr. George D. Ten-
nison, Silsbee physician and

ter Judge Fisher’s order made
him chairman of the committee,
replacing County Judge Em-
mett Lack, who was removed

missioner precinct lines of the

Wednesday. The plan adopted
by the Citizens Committee will
then be presented to the Com-
missioners Court by Dec. 14 for
their approval or disapproval.
Judge Fisher’s order instructs
the committee to present a plan

preme Court’s “one-man, one-
vote” principle, as well as the
Constitution of the State of
Texas that the reapportionment
be “for the convenience of the
people.”

in a suit brought by a number
of Silsbee citizens seeking to
have Hardin County redistrict-

ord of how they voted on it.

Silsbee City Ordinance 70-13,
the “dangerous building” ordin-
ance, was passed by unanimous
vote of the Silsbee City Coun-
cil at a make-up meeting held
on Wednesday, Dec. 2.
In the interest of its readers,
THE SILSBEE BEE offers the
following brief summary of the
new ordinance, its intent and its
powers under law.
The ordinance is titled “An
ordinance defining dangerous
buildings and structures and
establishing procedures for re-
pair or removal of dangerous
buildings or structures and es-
tablishing penalties for non-
compliance.”
Briefly, a “dangerous build-
ing or structure” is defined by
the ordinance as those that
“because of deterioration, di-
lapidation, or damage from
whatever cause so as to be in
danger, in part or whole, of col-
lapse, or create a fire hazard,
and thereby endanger the oc-
cupants surrounding property,
or the public, or those vacant
buildings or structures which
because of deterioration, deli-
quidation or damage create a
danger to the lives or health of
the public or property.”
This section specificly notes
as “dangerous” those buildings
or structures having at least 33
percent damage or deterioration
to the supporting members or
those with 50 percent or more
damage or deterioration to out-
side walls or covering; those
damaged by fire, wind or other
causes; and those with cracked,
buckling, or hole-ridden foun-
dations or those with inade-
quate protection from weather
and collapse.
The building inspector and
the Council, acting, as l>i
commission, may, ori ^spection
and report by inspector, order
stich buildings to be repaired,
vacated, or demolished, depend-
ing on their interpretation of
the structure’s condition.
Persons with an interest in
such buildings must be notfiied
mail of the City’s intent,
offense. “Each day the viola-
tion continues shall constitute a
new offense.”
The ordinance also provides
that the owner or “other in-
terested persons” may appear
before the Commisison to show
cause why the order should not
be obeyed. A hearing is then
called for, as well as a written
report of the findings of Com-
mission in each case of this na-
ture.
If evidence proves, to the sat-
isfaction of the ordinance, that
the building or structure is a
“dangerous builidng,” order
will be carried out. If owner or
other interested parties fail to ered.

At a
Council meeting on Dec. 8,
Councilmen heard Mrs. Hazel
Jenkins "allege” that Police
Detective Morris Cole had “beat
up” her son, Lonnie Holman,
19, on Nov. 21.
Mrs. Jenkins told the Council
that Cole and a “heavy-set
policeman" had come to her
home at 6:05 a. m. Nov. 21, and
told her that they wished to
question her son. “I told them
he was not at home” she said,
“and I sent him to the Sheriff’s
office in Kountze after they
left. I feared for him. I was
afraid they would beat him up.”
They returned at 6;30 a. m., she
said.
She continued that Deputy
Sheriff Ira Moore called the
« and told them that Hol-
man was at the Sheriff’s Office.
“Then Detective Cole went to
Kountze to pick him up. He
told him he was under arrest
and started manhandling him.”
“I know they had beat him
because 1 took him to the doc-
tor. When I later saw him, he
was all swollen,” Mrs. Jenkins
said.
Police also told her, she said,
that they wanted to question

shot “with a hollow point bul-

Glenn Weldon Flowers, 34, of
Honey Island, was arrested at

trio of officers, and arraigned
before Silsbee Justice of the

$7,500, and Flowers was free
on that bond Saturday night.
Perrin was shot in the abdo-

Silsbee, Kountze Telephone
Users Must Dial 7 Digits
Beginning Monday, Dec. 14, j
telephone customers in Silsbee
and Kountze will have to dial
all seven digits of the telephone
number on local calls, Jack
Martin, local manager for
Southwestern Bell announced.
Martin said the reason for
the change is to prepare the
telephone switching equipment
for the coming of Extended
Area Service between the two
cities. The new Extended Area
Service, or EAS, will permit
telephone customers in Silsbee
and Kountze to dial each other
on a toll free basis.
The new Extended Area Ser-
vice is scheduled to begin in
the spring of 1971 and will en-
able the approximately 4,700
telephone customers in both
vities to dial each other on a
local call basis.
Martin said that modifica-
tions to the telephone switching
equipment are now in progress
and this makes it necessary be-
ginning Monday to dial all sev-
en digits on a local call.
If the user dials only five
digits after Monday, as has
been possible in the past, he
will hear a quick busy signal
signifying that the call has not
been completed.
