The Howe Enterprise
VOLUME IV
HOWE* GRAYSON COUNTY, TEXAS, THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1967
NUMBER 40
HOWE'S
THAT
?
Earl Clayton brought in the
first issue of “The Howe Week-
ly,’’ Monday morning, a news-
paper published here July 7,
1893.
Earl said he read the article
in last week’s Enterprise relat-
ing to B. F. Fuller, and Mr.
Fuller’s father, who resided in
Howe around the turn of the
century.
A notice in the 1893 edition
confirms Mr. Fuller’s statement
about his father serving as post
master here. Apparently he was
appointed about the time the
newspaper began publication.
The newspaper also names a
“prominent Davis family’’ re-
siding on a farm west of town.
Didn’t know our postmaster liv-
ed around here then. (
A city directory in the issue
lists A. H. Schooling as mayor;
E. B. Campbell, marshal; J. A.
Hughes, P. C. Yeager, Jno. Ful-
ler, J. R. McMahan and W. H.
Johnson as Aldermen.
Other items:
Jake Corbin of the Celtic
Community was in the city last
Tuesday.
Two hundred forty-five load:-
of com were brought to the
grain dealers here in one day.
Prof. L. C. Gee of Savoy col-
lege visited here Friday.
Front page stories were date-
lined London, Petrolia, Paris,
New York, California, Kansas
City, Arkansas and Oklahoma,

Ever try fishing for duck?
Couple of Howe fishermen
haven’t either, but it might be
a good idea.
Ab Reeves and Rev. Corzine
went to one of those fishin’g
barges on Texoma the other
day, and Ab says the smaller
fish were bitin’ real good.
Ab says he snagged one of
the little fellows, then walked
to the platform on the outside
and cast out in search of some-
thing larger.
And he caught something lar-
ger. Ab says, and the preacher
has verified it to several who
have questioned the catch, that
he got a response to his cast,
and reeled in a mud hen.

If you didn’t attend the Nolen
Ranch Rodeo at least once dur-
ing the last week, you missed

Rev. Bill Hindman outdistanced

formance of the three-day event.

City Inspections Of Utilities In Future
Construction Voted By Council Members
Leroy Hollingsworth was e-
lected Mayor Pro-Tern Tuesday
night following administering of
oaths of office to Howe’s new
mayor, Carl D. Wortham, and
two councilmen, Overton E. Jay
and Glyn Hestand. Following
certification of the recent vote
in the city election, the govern-
ing board proceeded with a
lengthy agenda.
Members voted to pay the
L. H. Lacy Company the bal-
ance due on contract for curb,
gutter, and paving on Haning
Street, from Highway 75 to the
new expressway. City is to par-
tially gravel and rework pri-
vate driveways of residents a-
long the street.
In other business, council vot-
ed to ask Texas Power & Light
Company not to install service
lines to proposed construction
sites in the future, until a build-
ing permit has been obtained
for the construction. Heretofore
some homes have been com-
pleted before builders obtained
the permits. It was also noted
that some of the permits had
never been paid for.
An inspection by a city repre-
sentative of water and sewer
connections and service lines,
not installed by the city, is an-
other requirement of builders
within the city, council decided.
Also, a clean-out plug in sewer
lines outside new homes will be
a requirement for construction.
Council took the action after
noting that several contractors
are constructing sewer and wat-
er lines which will eventually
become the responsibility of the
city. A fee is to be set for the
inspection at a later date.
Council voted to approve nam-
ing service roads adjacent to
the expressway as “Collins
Freeway” after the name was
submitted for council’s consid-
eration by the Chamber of Com-
merce —
Set width of a previously ded-
icated street at 38 feet, after
rearing a request from Council-
men Glyn Hestand for a ruling
on the street. Hestand is plan-
ning to start a new home on
one of the lots adjoining the
street, Doyle Street. Fifty feet
had previously been dedicated
to the city. The city is to rock
the street with Hestand to re-
move dirt and construct curb
and gutter. Hestand will also
blacktop his part. No action
was taken on an inquiry to ob-
tain sewer service for the area.
Council also postponed action on
a request for sewer service to
to houses in the northern part
of town.
City Manager Cannon George
told members that the ground
water storage tank was com-
pleted, except for electrical wir-
ing, which will be done shortly.
The tank will be used as a
reserve tank for the city’s wat-
er system.
