The Stars and Stripes and a Texas flag return to daily display atop city hall after years of obstruction by a hackberry tree. The flagpole traces its history to 1912 when Frank Roberts built it, and it has moved locations several times to accommodate street and fire equipment as the city expanded. Representative Ray Roberts and Governor Preston Smith contributed flags for the reinstallation.
