City and councilmen cited tight budgets as the reason to abolish the industrial agent post. The position, held for 18 months by Derr, faced abolition as the city spent about 29,596 on promotion efforts. A fatal collision occurred at Highway 17 crossing when a freight train moved off the tracks, killing Leo J. Murphy, 62, of Paso.
