service is discontinued at both places,"
she said.
Mrs. Blythe said that the ordinance
that regulates collection of water bills
states that bills become delinquent on
the 20th of the month. "After that," she
said, "we send out a 24 hour notice. If
the account is not paid by that time ser-
vice is discontinued and a $25 reconnect
fee is charged before service is rein-
stated. Arrangements are sometimes
ntade for a day or so in special cases,"
she said.
In this week's issue of The NeWs
Airheart states that he asked to see the
city books but was refused by Mrs.
Blythe. She responded to the charge by
saying that Airheart did ask to see the
books, and when she asked which books
he replied, "all of them."
She did refuse to pull all of the city
books out at one time for his inspection,
since some were being worked on at the
time by employees,
"I asked him several times which
books he wanted to see," she said, "and
each time he replied, "all of them." He
did ask to see the delinquent book, and I
refused him that request," she con-
tinued.
"Our records are open to the public,"
Mrs. Blythe stated, "but only on
reasonable requests. I did not feel it
was necessary for me to bring out all
city books at one time for his inspec-
tion."
Mrs.Blythe also pointed out that the
annual audit of town funds is on file at
city hall. The audit covers all transac-
tions up to Sept. 30, 1980, the endof the
town's fiscal year. The audit was con-
ducted by Ran Massey, CPA, of Dallas.
"As of March 26 we (the town) have
$149,404.54 in total assets in the hank,"
Mrs. Blythe said. "I feel like we are in
pretty good financial shapeifor a town
of our size."
The controversy should end Saturday
as voters make their decision at the
polls. Polls will be open at city hall at 7
a.m. and remain open until 7 p.m.
"Strong beliefs win strong men, and[
then make them stronger."

In-coming president Wayne Callaway
said that the Malakoff Chamber of
Commerce has a history of progress
and plans to continue to strive for that
goal. Callaway said the Chamber has
many new projects in the making, in-
cluding new welcome signs, new
Christmas decorations, and other
projects.
Callaway said the the youth, school,
and industry should be considered the
cornerstone of Malakoff.
Out-going president Jack McCool
said that the past year had been a suc-
cessful one for the Chamber after com-
pleting a beautification program with
the help of the city; making con-
tributions to both the Malakoff Volun-
teer Fire Department and Malakoff
Public Library; providing Christmas
decorations for the city with the help of
Texas Power & Light Company; and
their work to support local business.
McCool presented Jack Murray with
the Director of the Year Award citing
his work toward Chamber goals.
During the evening the Chamber of
Commerce l~resented a $1,000 check to
Betty Norwood, J. D. Waller and
Howard Watson for use at the new
Malakoff YMCA Park. All three in-
dividuals have been instrumental in
promoting development of the 21.5 acre
park on land donated to the Henderson
County YMCA for use as a park site.
In accepting the check Mrs. Norwood
expressed appreciation to the Cham-
ber, to Texas Clay Industries in
Malakoff for their help in development,
and to Malakoff businesses who have
supported the project.
County Judge Winston Reagan
presented Mrs. J. A. McLain with a
check for $4,000 from County Revenue
Sharing funds for the Malakoff Public
Library. Reagan explained that the

About 300 American bald eagles have
been counted in their traditional win-
tering grounds around the lakes east of

The population is down slightly from
previous years, "although there has

lakes and a decrease on others," said
Dr. Thomas Taylor, a Texas A&M
University professor who organized the
eagle census.
J.D. WALLER, BETTY NORWOOD AND HOWARD WATSON were all honored
"Tuesday night for the work the)' have done to secure a new park for Malakoff.
