FORTY-NINTH YEAR

NUMBER 19
BIG ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION
LINE PATTONVILLE TO BOGATA
Number 20 aluminum wire will
replace the old No. 6 copper of
the electric high lines of the
Community Public Service Co.
from Bogata to Rugby, Deport
and Pattonville. This announce-
ment was made Tuesday by C. B.
Bardwell, manager for the com-
pany at Deport.
*-r The distance is 14'if miles, and
the new line will require from
six weeks to two months, depend-
ing upon the weather. All poles
will be pegged and firmed up to
carry the heavier wire, ard re-
placements made while needed.
"The new line will be of great
assistance in helping to carry and
in regulating the heavier load of
electric current to better serve
our expanding patronage," Bard-
well stated. Construction is ex-
pected to start about April 1.
The heavier transmission line
from Rivercrest Steam Generat-
ing plant on Sulphur /to Talco
and Bogata were constructed
over a year ago.
Community Public Service Co.
has been waiting on the State
Highway Department to learn
what kind of a highway it pro-
posed to construct on U. S. 271,
since its lines parallel that right-
of-way.
With the matter settled by con-
tacts for a widening and repav-
ing. the power company could
make its plans for ibe much hi t-
ter electric transmission line.

TALCO WILL ASK THE HIGHWAY
COMMISSION FOR BUSINESS LOOP
A committee from the Talco
Chamber of Commerce will go
to Austin in March to present a
petition to the State Highway
Commission, asking that body to
establish a Business Loop for
Talco
The entire “Loop” is now pav-
ed streets and highways. U. S.
271 traverses the western part
of Talco, north and south. The
route would begin at the junc-
tiof that highway and Broad
st. eet „o east thru the business
section and then south to FM71
and west over that highway back
to 271.
Half of the proposed Business
Loop was paved by the City of
Talco with a bond issue, back in
1937. Citizens are of the opim
ion the Highway Commission
should designate1 and maintain
the route as they do in other
towns where a main highway by-
passes the business district.
District Highway Engineer
Youngs recommended that a Td-
co committee place the matter
before the Commission when it
called upon him, seeking a de-
signation and other highway
work within the corporate limits
several months ago.
State Senator A. M. Aikin Jr,
was favorable to the project
when The Talco Times editor
called upon him, seeking his aid
when the Chamber of Comtaerce
committee goes back before the
Highway Commission.
*‘L will be glad to do what I
can to aid T;.lco to secure this
designation and will make a date
with the Commission for the
Talco committee's appearance
when you select a date,” Sena-
tor Aikin told the editor.
Our veteran state senator has
considerable influence and will
render great service to the com-
mittee in presenting the matter
to the Highway Commission.

Plans New Well
Earl Hollingsworth and his
geologist from Tyler were in
Talco Monday for the purpose of
making a location for a new well
he proposes to drill on the S. L.
Harper land, northeast of Talco
near Prairie lake.
Water from last week end’s
31 -i inch rain sent Sulphur river
out over the bottoms, and it was
impossible to do the job.
Hollingsworth had not made
application to the Railrord Com-
mision office at Mt. Pleasant late
Tuesday, to drill the well, B. P
Sims told The Times. 1 He would
have to establish the well’s loca-
tion before doing <-o.*

Sheriff Now Has
Marijuana Find
Deputy Sheriffs Loyd Math-
ews and Cloyce Armstrong came
to The Deport Times office Fri-
day and picked up e bottle con-
'ainirg marijuana and rubbing
elrchol.
It had boon found under tha
floor of the old cotton warehouse
in Deport, which was recently
purchased by William N. Skeen,
who is converting it into a hav
storage warehouse, and brought
to The Times office.
Supposition is that it wes left
by some Mexican when 700 Bra-
ct'io* occu| led it in the fall of
1955 while puking a gnat cotton
crop. Other Mexicans occupied
the building in the years follow-
