City and Major Landowners
Agree on Sale of Lake Tract
The Citjr Council Tuesday night
accepted “offers to sell” from four
major landowners whose property
is needed for the construction of
Brady Lake.
Completion of the sales will
give the City title to 2,523 acres,
which includes all of that required
in the immediate vicinity of the
dam.
Once the deeds have been
transferred, the City then can
go ahead and call for bids for
construction of the dam, m«
pec ted later this month.
“Offer to Sell” agreements were
signed by the City Tuesday night
with H. D. Winters (1,707 acres),
V. E. Jordan (.128 aervs), Dr. J.
S. Anderson (154 acres), and
George Johanson (8.5 acres).
The Council completed the pur-
chase of 381 acres last week from
Charles Dsrley.

A total of 3.335 acres will be
purchased for the new lake. Al-
though the 2523 acres already
under agreement represents the
hulk of the land purchases, sales

The Rochelle Hornets may not
win the District 8-B title (too
much Eden), but they’ll give plan,
ty of trouble this year.
“It just depends on what they
want to do," says Coach Kenneth
Mitchell. "They like to hit. They’re
smart enough and big enough to
play. It’s the best spirit we’ve
had.”
It's a well balanced team. The
starting line averages 175 pounds,
and the backfield hits 170. The

Beginning his 10th year on the

Effective next Monday, how-
ever three changes will be made:
1— The West Sweden bus, which
comes into Brady on the San An-
gelo highway and is driven by
Arthur Young, will make one stop
at Young Oil Company, picking up
high achooi and junior high stu-
dents in that area who do not
have transportation—as long
the bus is not overcrowded.
2— The POW Camp-Airport bus
driven by Marvin Selman, which
comes in on North Walnut, will
make a atop at North Walnut and
Marie Streets (the northwest cor
ner of the North Ward School
grounds). As long as the bus is
not overcrowded, high school,
junior high and students in the
special Latin-American class at
South Ward will be permitted to
still must be completed with an
additional 15 property owners in
the upper west end of the lake
aita.
In other action Tuesday night:
—Jack Smithwick, manager of
Brady Industries, Inc., met with
the Council to exercise the com-
pany’s option to renew its lease
on the two new hangars at Curtis
Field, offering to pay $100 a
month.
lust year the Council leased
the hangurs, to help the new com-
pany gef started, for $1 a year
with a provision that the rental
for the second year would he 1
percent of the company’s gross
sales.
Tueday night, however, Smith-
wick and the Council couldn't de-
cide whether 1 percent covers ail
of the company's sale* or just on
those jobs done in the new hang-
ars. Most of the company's work
is being done in the old hangars
with the new one# used primarily
for storage.
Smithwick said that lease of
the new hangars is important to
the company in bidding for new
contracts, as evidence the company
had facilities to do the work.
“We have a pretty good
little company going, with a
weekly payroll of $7,800 and
158 employes. Rut our low op-
eration cost is the only rea-
son we ran gel the work,”
he told the Council.
Mayor R. M. Pricsmeyer In-
dilated the Council might like to
have the hangars back in order
to lease them to another firm, "to
bring additional industry to
Prady."
“It is not our intention of hold-
ing the hangars to prevent some-
one else from coming in, hut I
think we should encourage what
Smithwick said he will meet
with his company’s directors and
then meet again with the Coun-
cil Sept. 19.
—The Council granted a request
for a change in the zoning ordin-
ances to permit construction of a
trailer park on the southeast cor-
ner at Elm and Kust Third Streets.
A. E. Sanders made the request
and presented a petition from 15
nearby residents giving their ap-
proval of his application.
