Tax Rates and Justice Vacancy Discussed by County Commission

The Lubbock County Commission debated filling Place 2, Precinct 1 for the justice of the peace. Wendell Coffee was nominated, but two commissioners voted against and one abstained, awaiting salary setup. A salary of 350 per office was briefly discussed before Green withdrew the motion. The panel approved a supplemental contract with the Right of Way Procurement Agency as noted by Ralph Brock. City Manager Clifton reported Texas Health funding of 14 932 to Lubbock, with state allocation questioned due to assumed higher local per capita income. The session included attendance by Mrs Jean Lasater and others representing county and Turkish officials.
