Civic Group Talks
On Curbs, Gutters
“Why Do We Need Curbs and
Gutters?” was the main topic for
discussion at the monthly meet
ing of the Civic Improvement
Group of the College Station
Chamber of Commerce Wednes
day.
After consultation with Fred
Benson, city engineer the group
found that curbs and gutters have
a two fold purpose. The primary
function is to give proper drainage
and to extend the life of the pave
ment.
The secondary purpose is to im
prove the appearance and to in
crease the value of the property
which it borders.
Plans are being made for the
city wide spring clean up cam
paign beginning March 22 to coin
cide with Civic Beautification
Week in Texas. The schedule for
truck pick ups will be announced
next month.

Labor Bill Shunted
Into Subcommittee
AUSTIN (A 5 )—A controversial
labor regulation bill was shunted
into a Senate subcommittee Wed
nesday after a daylong shellacking
from opponents.
This committee action in the
Senate and the first House test
of Gov. Price Daniel’s deficit-eras
ing plan highlighted the Legisla
ture’s day.
The House Revenue and Taxa
tion Committee had before it an
administration bill to make an ad
ditional 18 million dollars in tax
money available for the general
revenue fund in August to help
rub out the anticipated 65 million
dollar deficit. The measure,
HB53, described as a bookkeeping
device to help the ailing general
fund, is a key poir^t in the gover
nor’s fiscal plan.
Labor Committee
The Senate Labor Committee
spent most of the day listening
to labor spokesmen as they hit
hard at Sen. George Parkhouse’s
regulatory bill SB3. Then by voice
vote it was steered into a subcom
mittee where it is expected to re
ceive some extensive rewriting.
Parkhouse is urging his bill as
one that would let union members
know how their dues money is be
ing spent. Labor spokesmen called

honest officers defraud union mem
bers.
