Morris debates new city hall plans and funding options
At a Morris public meeting about a proposed 475000 city hall project, about 30 residents heard details on building a 7100 square foot facility on a 60 foot lot south of the current hall with a larger parking lot. The plan includes a council chamber on the main floor, a basement with a community room and police facilities, a two car garage, and removal of most of the old building. Bond referendum terms and tax impacts were outlined, with estimates ranging from about 8 to 12 dollars per 10000 of assessed value depending on payoff period.

Fifteen chemical cars derail near Justin Texas
Fifteen Santa Fe freight cars derailed north of Dallas early today, including five tankers with chemicals that could ignite at mild temperatures. About 60 residents were evacuated from Becky Ferryman reports, as tankers leaked butyl alcohol and butyl acetate with flash points of 78 and 83 degrees. Initially chlorine gas was feared, but Santa Fe officials said the cars held less dangerous liquids. A Denton County sergeant said there is no danger, while onlookers were kept 5,000 feet from the wreck. Evacuees woke at about 5:15 a.m. to volunteers knocking on doors in Justin, a small town of 741 residents.
