Realtors Plan Award for Outstanding Citizen
The Real Estate Board proposes a Most Worthy Citizen award to be given at its January banquet each year. The first presentation would be for 1949 at the 1950 banquet, with a committee including one board member. George W. Sandlin led the idea, noting prior Austin Chamber of Commerce and Junior Chamber practices. Claude Wilson urged property owners to curb weeds on vacant lots to aid Austin’s polio campaign.
