Council Informs
Citizens Of Plans
I Eight College Station citizens
werei guests of the city council at
an informal luncheon and meeting
last night. The proposed city char
ter was discussed by J. W. Barger,
city attorney; and Homer Hunter,
consultant engineer from Dallas,
(explained his engineering report on
College Station sewerage.
An election date for the new city
charter was not set at the meeting.
. Ernest Langford, mayor, reported
' the council will not take action un-
■ til such time the charter can be
i printed and reviewed by the coun
cil. He estimated that an election
) could not be held before February.
May Take Action
Few of the proposals outlined
by Hunter can be adopted any time
' soon, Langford emphasized. He
' said the plan would be reviewed by
the council at an early date. “Ac
tion may be taken soon in areas
i where effective Sewage disposal
is most needed,” Langford added.
Hunter was employed by the city
to make a survey of College Sta
tion and map a far reaching pro-
Local Health Unit
Compiles Sick List
Thirteen sick cases were report
ed in College Station last week by
the Brazos County Health Unit.
There was an outbreak of in
fluenza over the previous week. A
total of four cases were reported.
Three cases of diarrhea were re
ported in College Station. There
were three cases of gonorrhea, and
one case of pneumonia reported.
Two cases of septic sore throat
completed the list.
gram for sewage disposal.
Discussing the city charter,
which if passed will convert Col
lege Station from a general law
city into a home rule city, Lang
ford stated the present tax struc
ture would remain the same, if
the charter is adopted. Under state
law, ad valorem property tax which
can be accessed is higher in home
rule cities than in general law
cities.
Guests attending the council
meeting were A. A. Price, A. C.
Magee, J. H. Sorrels, C. A. Bon-
nen, R. H. Rogers, D. B. Gofer,
Homer Adams, and J. L. Thomas.
Survey Boundaries
During the meeting, the city
council authorized the employment
of a licensed surveyor to make an
accurate survey of College Sta
tion’s city limits. This action was
taken after Councilman Joe Orr
pointed out that the present de
scription of the city’s boundaries
were not accurate. After the sur
vey is completed, Raymond Rogers,
city manager, was instructed to
erect permanent markers.
Upon the recommendation of
Barger, the council called a special
meeting for Oct. 16 to discuss the
possibilities of passing a new city
ordinance which would be the basis
for more efficient enactment and
enforcement of city laws. The ordi
nance would be similar to that
passed by Bryan.
The meeting was attended by
Harry Boyer, A. P. Boyett, W’. H.
Badgett, W. D. Fitch, Orr, and R.
B. “Bob” Halphin, all councilmen.
In addition to these men, Barger,
N. M. McGinnis, city secr-etary;
Rogers, Langford, and Hunter,
were present.

McMillan Gives
Final Message
In Local Series
“The Undertones Around
Us” will be the title of the
final message in the current
A&M Church of Christ series
tonight at 7:15. The speaker
will 1 be Dr. E. W. McMillan, presi
dent of Southwestern Christian
College at Terrell.
James F. Fowler, local minister,
emphasized that Dr. McMillan is
an able preacher, author, and edu
cator. “He has had many years of
experience in all three of these
fields,” Fowler added.
Dr. McMillan’s last full-time
work as a “local minister” was
with the Union Avenue Church of
Christ in Memphis, Tenn. While
employed by that church, he was
sent on two trips to the Orient to
aid the missionary efforts of the
Church of Christ. He helped to
organize a Christian college in
Ibaraki, Japan.
Upon completing his mission in
Japan, he was asked to head a new
Negro college located in Terrell,
which was designed to help the
Negro race have better educational
opportunities. The college was es
pecially designed to aid young Neg
roes who wish to devote their full
time in Christian sendee.
Following the address, Dr. Mc
Millan will report the progress
achieved at the two-year-old Negro
college, and answer questions con
cerning the work.

“Serving Texas Aggies”
That people take a risk keeping
their money idle was pointed out
at the weekly meeting of the Col
lege Station Kiwanis Club yester
day.
In a film entitled “Fair Ex
change”, presented by the firm of
Merrill, Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and
Beane, brokers, a young couple is
acquainted with investment in
common stock.
After the learned couple discov
ered there was a difference be-i
tween investment and speculation,
they discovered that stock in many
companies paid dividends ranging
from five to six per cent annually.
Inflationary Trend
The movie made no attempt to
hide the fact that there is a risk
involved in stock investment. The
point was emphasized however,
that because of the inflationary
trend' there is a risk involved in
leaving money idle.
A thumbnail rule brought out
in the movie for safe investment
was investigate, then invest. For
purposes of investigation, consul
tation, and advice brokers are
available. The average broker’s
City-Wide Poll
May Authorize
il Delivery
A city-wide survey to de
termine the number of houses
which have erected house
numbers and mail boxes will
be conducted Tuesday.
The date was set at a recent
hoard of director’s meeting of the
College Station Chamber of Com
merce. The survey will be con
ducted by the Kiwanis Club.
“After the survey has been com
pleted it will be submitted to T.
O. Walton, -College Station post
master,” said Joe Sorrels, presi
dent of the Chamber of Commerce.
“Many people have been misled
in believing house-to-house mail
delivery will commence regardless
of whether they erect numbers and
mail boxes,” Sorrels pointed out.
College Station has fulfilled on
ly part of the requirements neces
sary for the service to be started.
A city must have a populttion of
at least 5,000 persons, desire the
service, and have properly marked
streets. These conditions have
been fulfilled. Erection of house
numbers and mail boxes are other
requirements for the service.
In attepmt to clear up misunder
standing, Sorrels has emphasized
again that only those persons liv
ing in the wooded section of Col
lege Hills, which is located in the
area bounded by Walton Drive and
Francis Street, are required to er
ect mail boxes adjacent to the
streets on which they live.
commission is about one per cent,
according to the movie.
The board of directors of the
Kiwanis Club voted, following the
luncheon to pay part of the expen
ses for two Consolidated teachers
to attend a Crippled Children’s
Clinic to be held in San Antonio.
The money will be taken from the
Crippled Children’s Fund. T h e
Brazos County Crippled Children’s
Society voted recently to send four
teachers from the county to t h e
meeting.
New Members
Four new members were voted
into the club by the board of direc
tors. They were Dr. G. L. Robert
son, Frank E. McFarland, Valen
tine F. Ridgeway, and H. O. Kun-
kel. A leave of absence for one
year was also voted for Sid Love
less, who will not be able to attend
meetings regularly.
During the luncheon, Dr. D. B.
Gofer, head of college archives, in
troduced E. O. Siecke to the mem
bers of the club. Siecke was re
cently voted into the Kiwanis Club.
Gofer described Siecke as one of
the fathers of Texas forestry.
