Highlands Miffed Over Water Corridor Plan to Incorporate
Highlands leaders oppose a 3000 foot river corridor placed by Baytown City Council that blocks an incorporation vote. The plan, approved 4 to 1 with five council members present, would bar the community from accessing the San Jacinto River and sparked disappointment among local proponents like Jim Brazzil of the Highlands Star. Residents lament lack of city services and fear losing a chance to form their own police and fire protection.

20 Per Cent Increase Is Set By Board
School district voters face a full 20 percent rise in tax bills as the board raises the assessment ratio from 40 to 48 percent. The higher levy funds expanded programs including better pay, kindergartens, air conditioned schools, libraries, and maintenance.
