Banks within and surrounding
Athens and Henderson County

deposits during the first quarter of
1961 over a corresponding period of
1980.

Leaders at savings and loan
institutions have expressed op-
Umism and their deposit growth
backs up their sm/les. With the
stock market courting the 1,000
level, many bank and S&L
executives said they think the
country is about ready to move
again. Normally the market in-
dlcated about six months in ad-
vance the general economic
conditions for the naUon.
Leading all hanks in total dollar

deposits for Athens banks climbed
ever nearer to the $100 million
mark as $92,842,458 was reported
when the Inst/tut/ons closed for the
day at the end of March this year.
On the west side of Henderson
County, the move from Trinidad to
Seven Points is more and more
proving to be beneficial for the
Cedar Creek Bank (formerly the
First State Bank of Trinidad). The

method will be a tax burden on the

"Unless we change the'system with
the times, with inflation each year,
we'll come back at budget time with a
deficit," he sa/d.
Reagan said when he was first
elected I0 years ago, road oil was $3.80
a barrel and is now 130.90 a barrel.
"Not only off, but all equipment
prices have escalated. Unless we

Reagan sa/d he thought the county
shoi Id adopt a system similar to the'
state highway departement's.
"The work would get done when it
needed to," he said. "It wouldn't
eliminate the county barns. The biggest
thing is Juat the pooling of equipment."
The four commisMoners said in liter
telephone interviews they cud not think
the unit system was a good idea.
"I don't think that (un/t system) will
work," Precinct I Commissioner Jim
Blakeney said. "We'd have to have an
engineer that would require 135,000-
130,000 a year and I don't think pooling
the equipment would offset that. We're
already helping each other out
Prec/nct 2 Commiss/oner Fred Box
said he didn't think the system would
work because all four of them might
need the same plece of equipment at the
same Ume and "I might have to bring
the equipment way out, close to 35 miles

The Henderson County Com-
missioners Court voted to make the
County Attorney a member of the
county Juvenile board, but failed to take
any acUon on the civil defense direc-
tor's salary and the creation of a
separate judicial district.
County Attorney Allen Boswell ap-

he wouldn't need for the pay to go into
effect until Jan. I, 1982.
"As far as the budget is concerned,"
he said, "it wouldn't even come up until
the 1982 budget is discussed. Each
member is paid $100 a month."
"The budget end is what I was
worried about," Precinct 1 Com.

time help; and canvassed the Mur-
chison school trustee election.
Boswell told the court he needed to be
on the Juvenile board because he had
been handling all,of the Juvenile cases
since the first of the year.
"In our circumstances it is critical
that we have someone up here to
dispose of the Juvenile cases quickly.
Our two DAs are home-based in
Palestine and I agreed to handle the
cases because I felt there was a need."
He said he had disposed of more than
20 Juvenile cases since the first of the
year and that if he was go/rig to con-

"I need to he able to participate in the

He also told the commissioners that
County Judge Winston Reagan said he
would like the court to pass the
resolution so that Rep. Elton Bomer
could try to get it passed during this
legislative session.
In other business, Reagan said the
court was responsible for the civil
defense program and "right now we
don't have one."
Aubrey Taylor had agreed to serve as
the civil defense director in October,
1980, but had resigned because he was

The commissioners said they didn't

"It's like insurance," Reagan said.
"You might not ever need it but who

we need to employ a professional to

The commissioners all agreed that
the lines had to be re-drawn. They all
said they thought they could start the

Blikeney and McLean thought it wasn't
worth the expense.
"I think it's a good idea," Box said.
"The taxpayers of Henderson County
would know what their money is being
spent for each year."
He said the cost, which would be
about $17,000, might cause a problem
though.
