Cedar Hill Park plans discussed by Chambers County leaders
Chambers County commissioners authorized County Judge Alma Lois Turner to write the U S Army Corps of Engineers about Cedar Hill Park in Anahuac on Lake Charlotte. The park, closed since last year for archeological reasons, contains prehistoric shell middens and Dr Nicholas Labadie’s homesite. Morvant urged reopening for Junior Ranger programs as plans for excavation within a year were noted. County also bought 11 trucks for 181763 to refresh Road and Bridge equipment with a spring used-truck sale anticipated.

Reagan to propose small defense cost cut in 1986 budget

The three-year savings would total about $27 billion, far short of the $58 billion advisers sought.
