We especially need a center for
our older citizens. Too little is done
in our society for older people. They
appear to be a forgotten element in
our society.
Are you in favor of extending
liquor hours to 2 a.m. on weekends?
At the present time I am not be
cause of the difficulties presented to
me by the police department in Col
lege Station. Extending the hours
would increase the amount of their
work tremendously.
It is a question of whether or not it
is a benefit to the entire populace to
go to this added expense to allow a
limited segment of our population to
participate in this activity. I think
this is a demand by younger and not
older persons. Tve no moral or reli
gious qualms about it, but I don’t
think it is proper at this particular
time.
It may be possible to extend the
hours for a two or three month trial

Would you like to see College Sta
tion change to a ward system of elec
tion, as proposed in the referendum
on the April 3 ballot?
No, not particularly, because I
think it would exclude certain good
people from seeking office.
I favor electing at-large because
we don’t have any one area of a large
minority' population. We re not de
priving any ethnic, age, social or
economic group representation on
the council by not having a ward sys
tem.
How do you think the ambulance
service should be handled in
Bryan-College Station?
Sherrill’s Ambulance Service Inc.
has two new, well-equipped ambu
lances. This is the latest equipment
available and the city furnished one
of these.
The city has provided forms for
complaints and forms for informing
the city council of the time the call
for service was received and the arri
val time of the ambulance to the per
son needing the service.
The service is as good today as
we’ve ever had in Brazos County and
I hope tomorrow will be better than
today.
Are you satisfied with the en
forcement of existing ordinances?
Do you have any plans for new de
velopmental controls?
For a city the size of College Sta
tion, we have an extremely good city
and this is partly because of our ordi
nances and the enforcement of them.

to a previous situation, once the in
itial step has been made to extend
the hours.
Also, there would be no way to
refund the tavern owners for the
extra fees they would have to pay to
stay open longer, if we decided to
revert to the earlier closing hours.
The situation needs to be studied.
Are you in favor of the construc
tion of Millican Dam after the lig
nite coal is mined in the area?
At the present time, no. I was once
in favor of the Millican Dam but
since that time things have come up
that have changed my mind.
I previously thought that Bryan-
College Station needed a supply of
surface water for their municipal
needs but experts have convinced
me that the lake would not be able to
supply the water when it will be
needed in approximately 40 years.
Also, I am one who feels that the
power of eminent domain that the
state and its subdivisions have,
should be exercised with extreme
caution. I do not favor the indis
criminate taking of private property
for public purposes unless it is abso
lutely necessary.
I also wonder if we can afford to
lose the Navasota bottomland, which
is unique to Texas and the U.S.
Should College Station purchase
its utilities from a source other than
Bryan?
I feel that College Station should
purchase its utilities from a source
that can guarantee adequate supply
at the lowest possible cost. If the city
of Bryan can do this, I prefer buying
from Bryan.
But, if Bryan cannot become com
petitive with its rates, I think Col
lege Station will be forced to go to an
alternate source. Bryan is not com
petitive at the moment.
Adequate utilities at a reasonable
cost is probably the most important
issue in this area at the present time.
Why are you running?
I’m running on my experience.
I’ve got qualifications that the city
needs. I’ve been a city councilman
for six years and I was city attorney
for two years.
I have accomplished things in the
past and I wish to accomplish things
in the future for College Station.
Would you like to see College Sta
tion change to a ward system of elec
tion, as proposed in the referendum
on the April 3 ballot?
No, I favor the at-large system.
Whenever a city has changed to a
ward system, it has been done to give
advantage to a minority group. The
minorities in College Station are so
scattered that there is no guarantee
that a ward system could give any
group an advantage.
How do you think the ambulance
service should be handled in
Bryan-College Station?
I think eventually the service will
have to be taken over by the cities.
The trend in growing cities
throughout the U.S. seems to be for
a municipal ambulance service.
College Station is operating under
the present ambulance service be
cause it is so much cheaper and the
city will continue to do so as long as it
remains efficient.
If it becomes inefficient, we will
have to change and I think that
change will be to municipal ambu
lance service.
Are you satisfied with the en
forcement of existing ordinances?
Do you have any plans for new de
velopmental controls?
We need better enforcement of
our two most important ordinances,
zoning and sub-division regulations,
for the protection of single family re
sidences and to provide for the or
derly growth of the city.
The city also needs to revise and
strengthen its building codes.
Specifications for streets need to
be raised to insure a better quality of
street construction.
