Lake Area Votes
For Incorporation
The vote was close Tuesday, Sept-
ember 1, in the Laguna Park area
on the question of Incorporating as
the City of Lake Whitney. 38 vot-
ing to incorporate and 34 voting
againat.
Mrs. Marvin Crane, election
dge, reported two other ballots
were cast but ruled void because
the election officials were unable
to tell how the parties voted.
It to reported that those persons
opposing incorporation, who sought
to stop the election on the grounds
that the area in question did not
meet the requirements for lncor
poration and were overruled by
the County Judge, may appeal the
decision to the District Court.
However, as the question now
stands, the next step will be for
the Bosque County Commissioners
Court to canvass the election re-
turns and declare the results offi-
cial.
This step will likely take place
at the next regular meeting of the
Commissioners Court Monday, Sept-
ember 14, at which time the court
will call an election and set date
for same for the new town to elect
a mayor and a designated number
If the public’s assumption is cor-
rect in that the primary purpose of
incorporating the area to later to
call an election for the sale of

attempted after the legality of the
