NOTICE TO COLLEGE HILLS
Beginning on November 1, 1940, all wa
ter bills will be paid to the City of College
Station. Sewage charges will be 50 cents
on the basis of one commode per residence.
When there is more than one commode,
the sewage charge will be 75 cents for
each residence. These charges are in line
with the prices being charged in other
parts of the'city. Utility bills are due on
the first of each month for the month
which has just passed. All bills which are
not paid by the tenth of the month will
have a penalty of SI.00 added. Utility
service will be discontinued on the 15th,
if the bills remain unpaid as of that date.
All residents in College Hills who did
not pay for .their water meters at the
time of installation, but elected to pay
for their meters by having the sum of
$1.50 added to their water bill each month,
will take notice that the following change
will be made, beginning with the bill sub
mitted December 1, 1940.
WHEREAS, the property owner has
been making this payment here-to-fore, in
the future the water user will be billed
this extra $1.50' each month until the 12th
monthly period has been passed. This is
the manner in which water meter pay
ments are being handled in the other parts
of the city, and facilitates hnd makes
more efficient the handling of these ac
counts with regard to the payment and
service of each meter. It is suggested that
the property owner and the tenant work
out a readjustment so as to carry out this
provision.
The City Council is anxious to cooperate
with those who live in College Hills, West
Park, and other sections which do not
have asphalt streets. The city does not
have funds to build streets of this type,
but will assist the property owners to
the extent of $300.00 per mile, which has-
been budgeted for street maintenance. A
first class asphalt street can be buA if
the property owner will contribute 12}
cents per front foot on each side of the
street, as 25 cents per linear foot, plus
what the city will be able to add, will
make an asphalt pavement which will be
very satisfactory. This is the only way we
may have a satisfactory street improve
ment. Residents of other sections of Col
lege Station have built streets in front of
their property. It will be necessary to
build in units of at least one mile, in order
to obtain materials, etc., at the price men
tioned above. These streets cannot be
built in wet weather. If the residents of
those areas are interested in this plan, it
might be possible to do some of this work
before the bad winter months set in;
otherwise, we will have to wait until
Spring or early Summer to begin this
work. In the meantime, it will be a waste
of money to do more than a minimum of
patching of these streets.

Since 1935 she has been singing

for the past three years has made
her lovely voice familiar to mil
lions for her vocals on “The Amer

Her wide experience in radio and

The Annual Report, September,
1939, Through June 1940
During the 1938-39 long session
(the Student Library Committee’s
first year of existence) the Cush
ing Memorial Library received for
the General Reading Fund a total
in contributions of $285.40. Of this
amount, $141.69 was spent during
the fiscal year 1938-39 for books.
The balance, $143.80, was held over
for the fiscal year 1939-40.
From September, 1939, through
June, 1940, the Library received a
total of $463 in contributions. With
the balance remaining from the
1938-39 fiscal year, the total of
the General Reading Fund reached
$621.80. The following is submit
ted as an accounting of this
amount:
For 209 books purchased
and placed in circula
tion $356.36
Estimate for 31 books
on order 68.11
Reserve, to be spent be-
for August 31, for
records 87.77
Expended for repairs to
the victrola in Car
negie Music Room 3.92
Expended for subscrip
tions for the year 1940
to two magazines (Es
quire and Fortune—
this done at the request
of the donor) 15.00
Reserve to be carried over
to the fiscal year 1940-
41 (to be spent for
books only) 90.64
TOTAL $621.80
With few exceptions, all books
purchased through the General
Reading Fund were done so through
student requests. The General
Reading Fund is subscribed to by
the various A. & M. mother’s clubs
and, as such, the Student Library
Committee’s policy has been to
spend this money in a manner del
egated directly by the student body.
A box was conspicuously placed in
the main lobby of the Library and
through this medium students
were enabled to request those
books which they wished to see ad
ded to the Library.
At the committee’s November
meeting it was unanimously voted
that each year a portion of the
General Reading Fund be set aside
to make additions to and replace
ments for the Carnegie Music
Room collection of records. This
was deemed necessary for two rea
sons. First, the Carnegie Music
Room had grown to be both an
important part of the Library and
an equally important part of stu
dent activity and entertainment,
but no money had ever been made
available to increase the collec
tion of records. Second, records
were occasionally broken and, as
it is contrary to the Library’s pol
icy to charge a student for a brok
en record, these were never re
placed. In the case of the records,
as in the case of the books, stu
dent suggestions were solicited
through a box placed in the music
room.
In future years ten percent of
the total amount of the General
Reading Fund will be expended for
record additions and replacements.
During the first year of this appro
priation, however, (1939-40) 15 per
cent was spent for this purpose.
This amounted to $87.77 as indicat
ed on the expense report.
Donations to the General Read
ing Fund from September, 1939,
through June, 1940, came from the
following A. & M. mothers’ clubs:
Forth Worth A. & M.
Mothers’ Club $ 50.00

ond period and went down under the
inspired infantrymen 19-8. Thomp
son led the scoring with 8 points.
Burnam, Drumwright, Kaufman
and Goodrich led B Engineers to
victory in a handball game with
5th Corps Headquarters while Der
rick and Duevall took their match
the easy way. Final score—3-0.
Two closer games were won by
A Infantry and A Signal Corps
by scores of 2-1. A Infantry’s
win came when Hearn, Higgenbot-
ham, Kay, and Mitchell combined
to take a couple of matches while
Sanders and Dennis scored one
for I Infantry. Jackson, Warne,
Oliver, and Castleberry accounted
for A Sig.’s wins while Boyle and
Rider racked up one for Caval
ry.
One of the old tricks that still
works came into play in a football
game between B Signal Corps and
I Infantry when one of the sig
nalmen took off for the goal line
with a hide out pass that meant the
difference between a win and a loss
—Failure to convert left the fin
al score 6-0.
E Engineers took D Field Ar
tillery 18-0 in a football game that
was full of surprises—for the
artillerymen—
E Field Artillery cashed in on
a safety for two points to win
their game with F Coast Artillery
2-0.
Several 6-0 games were G In
fantry over C Field Artillery, B
Coast Artillery over I Field Ar
tillery, B Engineers over G Field
Artillery and A Coast Artillery
over F Infantry.
On the tennis courts, Gissler,
LeGrande, Wood, and Regan of D
Engineers made quick work of
their opponents to make it un
necessary to complete the third
match and won the game from
1st Corps Headquarters 2-0.

College Employees
May Soon Be Able to
Buy Hospitalization
Insurance as a Group
For the benefit of the A. & M.
staff, a committee on insurance
has been investigating group hos
pitalization and surgical benefit
plans. This committee composed of
Dean F. C. Bolton, chairman; T.
W. Leland, head of the accoun-
tin department; D. L. Wedding-
ton, executive assistant of the Ex
tension Service; L. P. Gabbard,
Farm and Ranch Economics div
ision; J. W. Barger, head of Ag
riculture Economics department,
has made arrangements through
the Occidental Life Insurance Com
pany of California to start the
plan to work.
This plan includes all regular
full-time employees of the college
whose headquarters are at College
Station and whose names are on
the budget.
Some special features of the plan
are: no questions regarding phys
ical condition or medical history;
no age limit; selection of desired
hospital and desired physician; re
imbursement is made direct to
the employee; chronic diseases, pre
existing diseases, and diseases
not common to both sexes are in
cluded; no waiting period be
tween disabilities; individual cer
tificates will not be cancelled be
cause of recurring illnesses; and de
pendents of group members are
eligible to apply for individual
hospitalization and surgical reim
bursement policies. Other bene
fits offered under this cooperative
plan are: group hospitalization
pays $5.00 per day while confined
in a hospital for a maximum of 70
days for any one illness or acci
dent; for hospital services. Re
imburses are not to exceed $25
for any one disability, additional
reimbursement for surgical op
erations are up to $150 and in ad
dition semi-annual premiums are
paid.
In order for this plan to go
through, the company requires 75
per cent cooperation. The Exten
sion Service has already submitted
a report of almost 90 per cent..
If the application cards of the
faculty and the experiment stat
ion are in Dec. 1, payments at
the end of the year will be avoided.
