Harris Speaks At
Rally In Meridian
MERIDIAN — Brad Harris,
Republican candidate for State
Representative, spoke at Lion's
Park in Meridian last Monday
to a group of interested voters
He outlined his positions on
some of the critical issues facing
Texas government and criti-
cized his opponent’s failure to
support "even one penny of the
state budget cuts.”
Harris said that opponent Bob
Melton has not supported any
attempt to eliminate waste and
inefficiency in state government
and that his opponent's empha-
sis is not on controlling spend
mg, bu ton where he can raise
taxes.
Said Hams, "The Indigent
Health Care law is forcing
Bosque County taxes up 15 per-
cent while giving free medical
care to illegal aliens. Guess who
voted for that law in all four
votes last session? When you get
your tax increase, the one to
blame is Bob Melton.”
Harris spent most of the day
in Walnut Springs, where he at-
tended a morning coffee, went to
the senior center at noon and
talked with individual voters
during the afternoon.

month, although the install-
ments will vary in amount from
month to month.
He added that there is a
chance during the permit phase
that the project could be killed,
and if this happens the city
could be out the $41,714 with
nothing to show for it. "It’s a big
poker game at this point,” he
said. ‘‘We need to decide
whether to play or fold.”
The mayor said that if all goes
well during the permit phase,
that when actual construction
begins in a few years, the city’s
portion then per year could
amount to about $500,000,
although it could be more or
less. This yearly total would be
paid for a term of 25 years, he
added.
Westley said that one possible
option for the city in raising the
extra $500,000 per year would
be to increase minimum water
bills locally across the board. He
said that with over 1,400 water
taps in the city, the minimum
rate could be raised from around
$10 per month to $35, which
might cover this added annual
cost to the city, but that this
would be a decision to be made
later.
After lengthy discussion
regarding the Aug. 26 deadline
in which to make a decision, Al-
derman Mary Sue Crawson
commented that the city-
appointed water committee had,
by majority, recommended that
Clifton continue to participate
in the project.
Alderman Paul Hollingsworth
said that a person cannot sur-
vive without water, and that
years of study indicates that
this appears to be the best deal
around.
Alderman Frank Smith said
that, although the cost sounds
high right now, it will be afford-
ed. "It will have to be.”
The mayor said that the coun-
cil would be negligent if it vot-
ed for the city to drop out of the
project at this early juncture be-
cause that would be eliminating
important options for future
councils in assuring that water
is available to local residents.
Alderman Smith made the
motion that the city participate
in the permit phase at the
$41,714 cost and then "go from
there.” Alderman Holling-
sworth provided the second and
the council voted unanimously
in favor of the motion.
Other Action
In other action, the council
voted during a budget workshop
portion of the meeting to undo
action of a previous council
which allowed automatic pay in-
creases for city employees that
were based on tenure with the
City of Clifton.
The council instead said it
wants to give raises based on
merit.
It was pointed out that the
new system would decrease con
siderable paperwork involved in
the old system while at the same
time increasing incentive of city
employees

cement dance floor.
The public is encouraged to
help raise money for the fire
department while at the
same time having a great
time.
To describe the event with
all its color and excitement,
members of the fire depart-
ment have provided “A Fish
Story You Can Believe!”
A FISH STORY
YOU CAN BELIEVE!
If you live around a lake long
enough, you think you have
heard all the fish stories anyone
could tell, but here is one you
may not have heard, and it is a
true one, too.
It’s been tradition for the past
17 years or so that the people in
these parts know where to get
plenty of fish on Saturday after-
noon of Labor Day weekend. It’s
the kind of fishing trip everyone
can enjoy and end up with lots of
fish. Dad, mom, grandma and
grandpa, the kids, everyone
knows where to go.
The first year, nearly 400 peo-
ple showed up and everyone got
a mess of fish. Beginning to
sound like all the other fish sto-
ries you’ve heard? Wait a
minute. It's gonna get better!
You won’t need bait or tackle
and you won’t get smelly clean-
ing fish either. For about the last
10 years over 2,000 people have
showed up for this great event.
You see, I’m talking about the
West Shore Volunteer Fire
Department’s annual fish fry.
They serve the fish, deep fried,
with fried potatoes, cole slaw, on-
ions, pickles, and all the other
trimmings.
You won’t need a fishing
license, just make a donation
(and there is no specific amount
required) to their fire depart-
ment. You get all the fish and
trimmings you can eat. No need
to worry about getting enough to
eat, cause there will be plenty!
Last year they fried 1,600
pounds of fish, 850 pounds of
potatoes, and served 600 pounds
of cole slaw and 125 gallons of
tea and lemonade.
They’ve got live entertain-
ment, a cement dance floor, and
a great big tent to make plenty
of shade. And for those folks who
can’t come and enjoy all the fun,
they have orders to go.
This thing has gotten so big,
it’s the biggest fish fry in Texas!
Still sounds like a fish story ...
but it’s true! Without the fantas-
tic support of all the people that
come to this fish fry, the West
Shore Volunteer Fire Depart-
ment could not provide the fire
protection, rescue, and emergen-
cy help it does now.
You see, they don’t have any
tax support, just lots of good food
and hardworking members, and
lots of great people who like fish!
Be there. Season opens at 5 p.m.
with no limit. Saturday after-
noon of Labor Day weekend.
