Houston county proposed bond vote to address jail and farm needs
Houston County Commission may place a bond issue on the November constitutional ballot to relieve jail crowding and fund a farm.

A separate item notes the House passed a bill for Cedar Bayou flood control and navigation survey, requested by Representative Albert Thomas of Houston, for Galveston District engineers to conduct the study.
