THE INGLESIDE
Vol. XXXVI — No. 39
Local voters
'maverick' on
amendments
Unofficial returns from Tuesday’s Constitutional Amendment elec-
tion show Ingleside voters did not go along with voters throughout San
Patricio County.
Eigures obtained from the County Clerk’s office show Ingleside
ballots were cast as follows (first figure for and second against):
Proposition l, 87 -130; Proposition 2, 77 — 141; Proposition 3, 74 —
140; Proposition 4, 08 — 113; Proposition 5, 60 — 142; Proposition 6,
1 jo — 40; Proposition 7, 103 — 01; Proposition 8, 108 — 06; Proposi-
tion 0, 100—110; Proposition 10, 73 — 140; Proposition 11,124 — 81;
Proposition 12, 104 — 101, Proposition 13, 84— 110; Proposition 14,
124 — 72
Ingleside voters approved proposition six which would permit the
state to move prisoners to out of state prisons; proposition seven,
authorizing Chambers County to be divided into two to six precincts;
proposition eight, providing£500 million in additional bonding author-
ity for the veteran’s housing assistance program and changing the
definition of veterans eligible to participate in the veteran’s land and
housing programs.
Also, proposition eleven, permitting judges to correct defective in-
dictmens prior to trial in order to keep such defects from being used as
matters of appeal; proposition twelve, granting the State Supreme Court
and the Court of Criminal Appeals jurisdiction to answ er questions of
state law certified from a federal appellate court, and proposition 14,
allowing seven counties to abolish certain county offices While
Ingleside voters did not agree with the county—wide vote on some of the
propositions, the county as a whole did not go along what appears to be
state—wide approval of all the propositions if the trend in early state
returns continues. County—wide the vote was as follows (with the first
number for and second against):
Proposition 1,680 — 822; Proposition 2, 665 — 826; Proposition 3,
625 — 858; Proposition 4, 677 — 785; Proposition 5, 608 — 848.
Proposition 6,606 — 760; Proposition 7, 628 — 720; Proposition 8, 758
— 676; Proposition 0,712 — 703; Proposition 10, 678 — 832; Proposi-
tion 11,735—733; Proposition 12,687 — 770; Proposition 13,634 —
700; Proposition 14, 706 — 706.
The two propositions approved in San Patricio county were numbers
eight dealing with veteran's programs and eleven dealing with correct-
ing defective indictments.

Road workshop is today
County Commissioners will meet
today at 1 p m at the Sinton court-
house in a workshop session on a
county unit road system
Commissioners are expressing
their dislike of the system, the Aran-
sas Pass mayor said Monday night he
is opposed to the system and urged
othercouncilmen to speak out against
it, but a spot check of residents deter-
mined that most have a lot of. ptes-
tions about a county road system
One Ingleside resident polled said
he is in favor of a unit road svstem but
At Chamber today-
Highway plan,
'85 outlook to
focus meeting
Ingleside Chamber of Commerce will host Nino Gutierrez district
highway engineer in Corpus Christi, at their noon meeting today,
Thursday, Nov 7 Gutierrez will outline preliminary plans by the
highway planners for a new road to the Navy s llomeport at Ingleside
Point.
A bypass to the west of Ingleside is proposed by highw ay planners, to
handle heavy truck and other traffice during and after construction ol
the new homeport. Gutierrez has explained that the expected traffic will
be detrimental to Ingleside if it is routed through the middle ot that city
on Hwv 1068
San Patricio County leaders, especially in Aransas Pass are joining
with Roekport leaders to encourage build mg a major thoroughfare from
the homeport area between Ingleside and Aransas Pass, eventually to
link with Hwv 35 north of Aransas Pass, tying in Roekport
City Manager Del Lewis will also be on today's agenda She will relate
highlights of the Outlook ’86 Eorum, billed as the “First complete look at
Homeport ” Lewis was one of several area dignitaries to attend yester-
day’s outlook sessions hosted by the Corpus Christi Chamber of Com-
merce at the Bayfront Plaza
Speakers were to include L Wayne Amy III, deputy assistant secret-
ary of the Navy; James H Scott, project manager for the South Texas
Homeport Project; Del Lewis; and Jimmy Lyles, president of the Corpus
Christi Chamber
is learv that commissioners opposed
to the svstem can prevent it Irom
working I think in essence it the
inherent conflict between the corn
missioners and the superv isor of the
unit road system were not defeating
the intention it would probahiv lx.-
nefit the taxpaver Vou cant let the
conflict dete.it the purpose ol the
system
He said he is i strong belies er in a
unit road system because he comes
trom a counts that has it and it w< irks
In addition he said he has seen monev
wasted here on ri iad repairs that don t
hold up because the wrong specifica-
tions are used tor the areas weather
and soil and a competent engineer tin
eliminate this tvpe ol waste
Rita Strickland Aransas Pass real
tor. feels we do need to have a lietter
way of keeping our roads in better
condition "Prc^essional is the kev
word for the system, states Ms strick
land, because a professional engineer
could catch problems in the roads and
bridges before thev bec< mic e vpetisiv c
problems
Ms Strickland saw she is con-
cerned alxiut the cost ol empluving a
county engineer but it a savings is

Sailing vessel
to round 'The
Point' Friday
The 106-year-old sailing ship Elissa. the Tall Ship lor Texas will
pass Ingleside Point between noon and 2 p m tomorrow Friday Nov s
on her way to the Corpus C.hnsti barge dock w here she w ill be docked
through Nov 16.
She set sail from Galveston to Corpus Christi Bay on her brst offshore
passage since restoration began 10 vears igo
Sponsored by the Art Museum of South Texas, “Elissa s trip is part of
the museum s “Art and Sea fundraisinggala planned lor Nov 1. When
“Elissa" sailed from Galveston on Nov 5. the passage was her first
port-to-port sail since restoration began in |87$ The Galveston Histor-
ical Foundation purchased the ship in 1874 as she sat a cable s length
away from the scrapyard in Greece At the time, she had been stripped of
her sails and masts, a rusted inotorship with only a few hints to identify
her as s survivor from the tkilden Age of Sail
Launched from the shipyard of Alexander Hall *>t Aberdeen. Scotland
on Oat. 27.1877. “Elissa sailed under five flags and carried such cargo
as lumber, bananas and cotton around the world during her 80-vear
career She called twice on the Port of Galveetort, first in 188.' and again
in 1886
Those historical ties to the city convinced the Historical Foundation
to undertake its 11-vear restoration project to bring a floating museum
to the island’s waterfront as a reminder of Galveston s rich maritime
heritage n
But “Elisaa” la much more than a floating museum Elissa" is alive,
and sail* each year in a series of daily “sea trial* She is named by a
volunteer crew who are responsible for her maintenance throughout
tin year and who train on her many hours each summer purely for the
privilege of sailing the square-rigger
The crew members for the Corpus Christi sail trip hav e been selected
from the heat of the core crew from this year s sen trials
