Street Named for Gov Connally in Carrollton
Carrollton City Council unanimously approved naming a new street John Connally Drive between Arrow Foods and Falcon Manufacturing off Belt Line Road.

Superior Utilities won a $31,759 contract to extend water and sewer to the stadium site, with bidders listed and amounts shown, while a builder’s permit for the stadium was tabled for plan review. The council also discussed city insurance policies with M L Coker and Hubert Eldridge and Coker agreed to redeposit his portion.
