BUDGET REQUESTS SOAR-
ING Major state agency
budget requests continued to
prompt speculation of a huge
tax need next year perhaps
as high as $700 million.
Texas reportedly already
is in compliance with the act
except for the lowered voting
age. This state has no literacy
test and "good character" re-
quirements for election parti-
cipation such as those outlaw-
ed by a bill signed into law by
President Nixon on June 22.

that more than 250 are ouali-

conducted in the local school.
During the six weeks nro-

throucrh trins and excursions:
fact and fancy through stories
and poetry; skills nnd habits
through lessons in discrimina-
tion: onnortunities for exnros-

manipulation of materials.
The children were taken on
nature tours a tour of the post

opportunity to ride on the fire
truck and a trip to the farm of

signed up if the expected court
test is not settled by then. Lo-
cal registration officials will be
advised by state election au-
thorities to register them pend-
ing a court decision.
According to election divi-
sion director Randall Wood
the Secretary of State's office
proposes to suggest that teen
age registrations be kept sep-
arately from those of voters 21
and above. This would simpl-
fy subsequent invalidation in
the event the Supreme Court
should rule the federal act un
constitutional after state regis-
tration already is under way.
Test case probably will be
in Washington State. There the
18 - year - old vote - referen-
dum already is set for the No-
vember ballot. Washington of-
ficials are in a better political
position to state that they will
not comply with the federal
law until their voters voice ap-
proval of the lowered age pro-
position: Secretary of State Martin
Dies Jr. figures the federal act
would add about 395000 un-der-21
voters to Texas' regis-
tration rolls if it survives
the court test

A STATEMENT
TO THE CITIZENS OF BARTLETT
FROM YOUR MAYOR
Ed Stabeno is n. nntinnt in n
Temple hospital.
Mrs Techla Fowler of Dallas
was a weekend guest of Mrs.
Alice Powitzky
Week-end gusts of Mrs. W.
C. Teinert were Mrs. rc.mn
Lovelace of Port Arthur Mrs.
Alfred Mickam of Conneras
Cove and Mrs. Paul .Tnssn nf
Taylor.
I think it is sad and bad that we all can
not pull and work together for the good of
this community instead of doing things that
cause dissension and disunity. We elect our
City Officals by majority vote yet we let a
minority and a small one at that try to have
things go as they want them. If it does not go
that way then things begin to happen - like
a petition. This is not good - it upsets our
people and causes hard feelings even to
breaking up friendships because some
people will not sign or pass a petition around.
This should shame all of us. We want our
town to grow and get industry so our young
folks can live here and make a living.
I have been living here 22 years and no
one has wanted our little town to be the best
any more than I have. To accomplish this is
going to take the cooperation of all the
people working together for the same things.
It means forgetting petty jealousness.
Your City Council the one you elected
has worked hard and long hours trying to
do what they think is right and best for
Bartlett. So why not give them your support
and encouragement. It is not an easy job
trying to please 1600 people. We have to
make decisions for the citizens as a whole.
As an elected official as long as I am
Mayor I will continue to work with them
your elected Councilmen and we will
continue to do our best for the majority of
our citizens. Many James I have closed my
office to attend out otown meetings to study
and leam how to deal with problems that
concern us all. I represent you and feel proud
of it. The Councilmen have full time jobs
making a living for their families. Their long
hours given to the City of Bartlett and our
problems are not appreciated by a minority
who is continually finding fault with every
thing trying to be done.
It seems that some keep pounding away
at where the lc sales tax is even though no
one bothered to ask at the public hearing on
the budget. Specifically $2000.00 was put
into the last quarter of 1969-70 budget and
$5000.00 is in this year's budget - all being
used on our street improvement projects.
Several have asked me whether or not I
thought a Business Manager is necessary for
Bartlett. I believe now if the City had
employed one 20 years ago we would be a
bigger and better town today. With a budget
this year of over $173000.00 and our city
assets totaling over IV million we need
business management. A city's Business
Manager with experience and know how can
be an asset to any town. If we continue to
have a Business Manager we CAN NOT and
DO NOT have time to train one here.
We have seen outstanding evidence of
cooperation and progress in our clean-up
campaign. This is a good example of working
together and we have a good feeling. There
is no reason why this same cooperation can
not stretch to other good causes for our
people in general. It is easy to sit back and
be critical when all the facts are not known
or considered.
If you have questions anytime call any
of the councilmen or me or go to the City
Hall and we will be glad to answer them.
Remember you are welcome to attend any
of the City Council's regular meetings and
we encourage you to do so.
