Not Enough Deputies Dance Hall Problem Not Solvable
DeWitt County Sheriff N G Dietze says it is impossible to station deputies at each of the seven major county dance halls outside Cuero due to only four full time deputies and multiple unconnected halls. He notes telephones are scarce at five halls, hindering rapid response, and explains deputies must protect 17 000 or more residents. He also states he has no authority to appoint constables, a task voters must decide.
