application completed.
“Then, we hand-delivered 11 copies
to the Texas Department of
Transportation in Waco, during the
early summer," said Torrence.
Statewide, the commission selected
82 projects, authorizing$42.5 million
in federal funds. More than 470
projects were nominated for the
grants.
Restoration of the Lumpkin
Building is an important step in the
continued development of the
collection. The archives are currently
located on the third floor of the
Bosque County Courthouse, and are
virtually inaccessible to many older
or handicapped residents of the
county.
When renovations are complete,
the first floor of the building will
house the commission’s extensive
records. Research areas will also be
housed in the bottom floor. The
upper floor will contain offices,
exhibits, and a reference library.
The grant was made possible
through the enhancement program
created in 1991, when the federal
Intermodal Surface Transportation
Efficiency Act became law.
Enhancement projects generally are
non-traditional highway projects,
located off state rights-of-way. The
projects can include historic
preservation, water quality
protection, landscaping, and
pedestrian/biking trails.
While the grant money will help
restore the outer structure of the
historic rock building, much work
inside will still need to be done.
Torrence said that other grants have
been applied for through various
sources, but she did not know
whether they would go through.
Private donations are encouraged,
and persons donating a minimum of
$100 will have their name put onto a
plaque, which will be installed when
the building is finished.
Persons wishing to assist can send
donations to: Bosque County
Collection Building Fund, P.O. Box
534, Meridian, TX 76665.

making a recount decision to a
“dislike” for imposing retabulation
on election personnel. He said that
he appreciated the dedication of
precinct workers.
The legislator lost to a Republican
challenger, Arlene Wohlgemuth, a
Burleson businessowner,commercial
pilot, and flight instructor, 16,559-
16.441, a 118-vote difference.
Revised voting totals, following
vote canvassing by the
Commissioners’ Courts of Bosque,
Johnson, and Somervell counties,
included:
Wohlgemuth, Bosque, 2,203;
Johnson, 13,274; Somervell, 1,082;
grand total, 16,559.
Erickson, Bosque, 2,772; Johnson,
12,718; Somervell, 951; grand total,
16.441.
Before vote canvassing,
Wohlegmuth had held a 139-vote
lead over the incumbent. While no
changes were recorded in tabulations
in Johnson and Somervell Counties,
Rep. Erickson gained 77 votes in
Bosque County canvassing, with his
opponent picking up 56 more.
Rep. Erickson carried Bosque
County. Wohlgemuth was the top
vote-getter in Johnson and Somervell
Counties.
Erickson had been elected to his
District 58 post two years ago as a
Republican. He changed parties
before this year’s primary election.
Wohlgemuth became GOP
standard bearer in response to
Erickson’s switch in party allegiance.
Rep. Erickson had noted that,
percentage-wise, the spread between
Wohlgemuth’s votes and his was
much less than one percent of the
total ballots cast for the post. He
termed this mathematical point a
factor in helping persuade him to
seek a recount.

the holiday season, and this will be a
good way to get in the spirit of the
season," Ferrell said.
On Tuesday, Dec. 13, members of
the Middle School Eighth-Grade
Band and the Clifton High School
Band will perform in Bettis
Auditorium beginning at 7:30 p.m.
Hie theme again will be ‘Music for
the Season." Hie Eighth-Grade Band
will perform first, followed by the
high school band.
“Hiis is always a fun concert for
our students," said Don Thoede, high
school band director. “We enjoy
preparing for the concert just about
as much as we do performing at the
concert. We will be playing some old
favorites like Winter Wonderland,
Sleigh Ride, and Carol of the Drum,
in addition to a variety of other
popular songs of the season.
“Every year, the auditorium is full
of friends and relatives who enjoy
listening to these young people play
this kind of music. We want
everyone to come and enjoy both of
the concerts. The public is strongly
encouraged to attend, and the
concerts are free," he said.
“These students have worked hard
preparing for this concert, so we
want everyone to come and enjoy the
music, and show their support for
these fine, young musicians,"
concluded Thoede.
GABRIEL HALL (center), a senior at CHS, was
congratulated for his moving rendition of "Taps" that
concluded the opening program for the military exhibit on
display at Bosque Memorial Museum. \

percent increase for second-class and
third-class mailings. The increase
would affect newspapers, magazines,
and direct-mail advertising.
According to W. Leon Smith,
managing editor of The Clifton
Record and The Bosque Globe, this
increase will likely boost subscription
rates in the very near future.
“Our preliminary figures show that
if the new rates take hold, our
annual postage costs could easily go
up by at least $7,800 per year, which
is substantial for us.”
Smith urged subscription
customers to take advantage of the
currently offered low holiday coupon
rates to “lock in” a subscription or
renewal.
“I expect that subscription rates
will rise to help defray some of the
increased postal costs,” he said.
“Postal increases, along with recent
increases in the cost of newsprint,
are forcing us to look at altering
rates upward, something we are
reluctant to do, but will likely have
to.”
