Officials Urge Poison Check In City Streets
City officials urge businesses to stop placing poison along window edges and sidewalks as reduced water pressure prevents washing away dead crickets in gutters. They say crickets swept into gutters pile up until pressure returns, with summer watering blamed for low pressure. Mayor Weems notes poison should be used only at entranceways while the twice weekly schedule continues.

Milam County Criticizes Cameron City Over Road Widening
Milam County Commissioners Court passed a resolution condemning what it calls a lack of action by Cameron City Council on the US 77 SH 36 widening project. Mayor Weems and Councilmen Moseley Brady say state funds were pledged in a May letter for curb and gutter in the 1957 54 budget as the new fiscal year starts October 1. Brady notes missing road line specifications hinder obstruction clearance and right of way costs have depleted funds for curb gutter sidewalks and storm sewers. The resolution urges immediate action to reschedule the project and offers the commission's assistance.
