Ambulance Service Issue Returns To Firemen Vote
Firemen vote to revisit ambulance service debate with Pecos city council after closed door talks. Fire chief J T Prewit and others met council members to decide on a second fire department ballot, amid plans to separate EMS before the 1977 hospital opening.

Band Camp Arrivals and City Land Deals Spark Council Debate
Band students return on two buses, with early Saturday arrival times of 12:05 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. at Pecos High School Band Hall. The council weighs land reclassifications to allow mobile homes with one family per lot, addresses potential trailer restrictions, and considers local ordinances. In other business, land values are adjusted back to $10,640 for tax relief on Carrillo property amid tax and license disputes. The city also negotiates land purchases near rodeo and fair grounds for $10,800 plus a $33,840 gift, with county participation, and rejects a $250 bid for a tax-sale lot.

Kicking around Madison Squared
The piece recounts a wartime tale attributing to President Madison the idea of a Victory Garden on the White House lawn planted with tomatoes squash and okra. It claims the garden’s shape shifted from round to rectangular boosting yields and inspiring Madison Square Garden as a public square for self sufficiency, though it ends with a note about the story’s credibility.

Congress, steering toward unemployment as a central issue, overrides President Ford's veto of a $3.95 billion public works jobs bill. The House vote is 310 to 96 and the Senate 73 to 24, marking the ninth override of Ford and reflecting Democratic control and campaign emphasis on jobs.
