A 36,000 survey by an engineering firm here showed a levee would be feasible funded by citizen donations.

Beach City Construction Sparks Baytown Annexation Clash
Laughlin read a Baytown Council letter claiming annexation would infringe its extraterritorial jurisdiction. The 1963 Texas Annexation Act allows one city to expand only with written consent. Mayor Jordan said Beach City is within rights as residents petitioned for annexation. Beach City plans to proceed while seeking a joint meeting. Mayor Jordan insists the move is legal. Meanwhile, a BB gun damaged car windshields at 1705 N Main, about $0 damage.

Keeper of a Mexican cemetery battle over restoration
In 1928 bodies were exhumed from a burial site and moved to a battlefield for reburial. Victor De Zavala demanded the graves be returned to their original state, vowing the family’s access. His descendants have long sought state action to honor a verbal promise to maintain the cemetery for their access and respect. An inscription on a marble headstone laments the loss of a loved one amid driftwood and decay at the cemetery.
