Carl McGilvray of 620 Rice Drive posted 3500 bond after being charged with negligent homicide in a Tuesday truck crash that killed a 22 year old Midland man. Investigators say the eastbound pulling unit entered northbound traffic on U S 385 from Mustang Drive amid local economic activity. The board also took no action on a private club permit request for Paul Lott for the Benson Motel. The board does not issue liquor licenses. It approved a temporary use permit for E W Harper to operate a dentist office from a trailer at 813 Hospital Drive.
