All of the hereinabove described improvements to be constructed together with
incidentals and appurtenances, including storm sewers and drains, as and where shown in
the plans relating to said improvements and in strict accordance with the plans and
specifications therefor.
4. Payment for such improvements shall be made in the following manner, to-
wit:
(a) The abutting property and the owners thereof shall be assessed and
pay for not exceeding all of the cost of curbs and gutters plus nine-tenths (9/l0ths)
of the remaining cost of the improvements in the unit upon which such property is
, situated.
(b) After deducting the amounts,assessed against and paid by the
abutting property and the owners thereof, the remaining cost of said improvements
shall be paid by the City of Wichita Falls, Texas.
It is contemplated that where the property abutting the unit to be improved
fronts on said unit, said abutting property and the owners thereof shall be assessed
and pay for not more than ninety (90) per cent of the total cost of the improvements
in the unit on which the respective properties abut and that where the property abutting
the unit to be improved does not front on said unit, abutting property and the owhers
thereof shall be assessed and pay for not more than seventy-five (75%) per cent of the
total cost of the improvements. The City of Wichita Falls, Texas, will pay for that
portion of the cost of the improvements which is not assessed against the abutting
property and the owners thereof.
The amounts payable by the abutting property and the owners thereof shall
be assessed against such property and against the real and true owners thereof and shall
be a first and prior lien upon the property upon which assessments are levied except
.fate, County, School District and City ad valorem taxes, and a personal liability of the
owners of said property.
Newol
5. Assessments against abutting property and the owners thereof shall bear
interest at the rate of six per centum (6%) per annum, payable annually except as to
the first installment which matures in less than one year, which interest on said first
installment'shall be payable at the maturity of said installment. That said assessments
-hall be payable in five (5) equal installments, due respectively on or before ten (10)
ys, one (1), two (2), three (3) and four (4) years after completion and acceptance of
+ ,> improvements in the unit for which the particular assessment is levied, provided that
410
if default be made in the payment of any installment due, then at the option of the
owner and holder of the certificate issued in evidence of the particular assessment,
the entire assessment in connection with which default is made shall mature and become
due and payable, together with reasonable attorney's fees and costs of collection, if
incurred.
6. It is estimated that the City of Wichita Falls, Texas, will have avail-
able for payment for its portion of the cost of the improvements to be constructed
approximately$14,000.00. This amount is sufficient to pay the City's portion of the
cost of all of the improvements herein ordered. Since only some of the hereinabove
described portions of the streets, avenues and public places will actually be improved,
the units to be improved shall be improved and shall have preference in the order in
which said units are numbered, that is, Unit No. 1 54 shall have first priority, Unit
No. 254, second priority, et cetera. It is contemplated that in many units several
parcels of abutting property will be exempt from the lien of special assessment and that
the owner or owners of such property will not satisfactorily secure the payment of the
cost of the improvements so that skips and leave-outs in some such unit or units will be so
numerous as to make the improving of the balance of such unit or units impracticable.
For that reason, the construction of improvements in such unit or units may be entirely
abandoned. It shall be the policy of the C ity of Wichita Falls, Texas, to permit, however,
at least one fifty foot skip or leave-out per unit, provided such fifty foot skip or
leave-out does not occur at an intersection. This provision, or a provision similar
hereto, will be inserted and made a part of any contract awarded for the construction
of the improvements.
7. No assessments shall be levied against any property or its owner until
after notice and hearing as -provided by law, nor in excess of special benefits to the
particular property resulting from the improvement for which assessment is levied.
8. Proceedings shall be taken and assessments levied pursuant to and in
accordance with the law passed at the First Called Session of the Fortieth Legislature
of the State of Texas in 1927, shown as Chapter 106 of the Acts of said session, to-
gether with any amendments of said Act, such Act being shown as Article 1105b of Vernon's
Texas Civil Statutes, which Act, together with all amendments thereto, has heretofore
been incorporated in and made a part of the *tarter of the City of Wichita Falls, Texas.
9. The City Clerk is directed to prepare, sign and file with the County
Clerk of Wichita County, Texas, a notice in accordance with the provisions of the Act
passed by the Fifth Called Session of the Forty-First Legislature of the State of Texas
and shown as Chapter 21 of the Acts of said session of the Legislature, said Act
having been passed in the year 1930.
10. Each unit herein ordered improved shall be and constitute a separate and
independent unit of improvement, and the assessments herein provided for shall be made
for the improvements in each unit according to the cost of the improvements in that
unit, and independent of the costs and of the benefits arising from the improvements
in any other unit.
11. The improvements may be omitted abutting any property exempt from the
lien of special assessments for street improvements unless the owner or owners of such
property shall satisfactorily secure payment. Should the owner or owners of any
property exempt from the lien of special assessment fail to satisfactorily secure pay-
ment for the improvements to be constructed, then the City of Wichita Falls, Texas,
may determine that no improvements of any nature whatsoever will be constructed on that
unit.
12. The City Clerk is hereby directed to advertise for bids for the construe-
tion of the improvements hereinabove mentioned, which said advertisement shall be pub-
lished pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Charter of
the City of Wichita Falls, Texas, and the laws of the State of Texas.
•
13. The general prevailing rates of per diem and for legal holiday and over-
time work in this locality for each craft or type of workman or mechanic needed to
execute the contract for such improvements are as set out in the specifications relating
to such improvements and are hereby adopted and approved. Said prevailing rates of
per diem wages and for legal holiday and overtime work shall be specified and made man-
datory in any contract awarded for the construction of such improvements.

from and after its passage.

Br. E. Aubrey Cox, Chairman of the Committee previously appointed to hold
public hearings on Fluoridation of city water, presented a written report, which
reads as follows:
Summary and Conclusions
Careful study and consideration has been given'by this committee to the
public hearings, exhibits presented at these hearings,-and other information both'
supporting and opposing fluoridation.
It-is apparent that the problem has been carefully studied by clinical b
experience and research. Fluoridation by the addition of enough fluoride compounds
to the municipal water supply to make the fluoride content 1 ppm (part per million)
has been shown, without doubt, to be effective in the partial prevention of tooth
decay. The helpful effect begins in childhood, but continues to old age.
The principle of fluoridation in the amount of 1 ppm has been endorsed and _
declared harmless by most national medical health organizations.
Fluoridation is approved and supported as a definitely effective measure i
in the partial protection against tooth decay by practically every national dental
and public health organization. ¢
There are no recognized national medical or dental organizations which
oppose fluoridation.
There has been no preventive health measure endorsed by all of these
organizations that has ever failed to be of benefit to the people, and none have
ever been found to be harmful when used as approved.
The opposition has no documented evidence that fluoridation is harmful to
any person, and no evidence that it does not help in the prevention of tooth decay.
Their only semblance of documented evidence is a report of a seven man Congressional
Committee, which presented no concrete reasons for opposition, but suggested that the
people should be slow to accept fluoridation.
433
Fluoridation has been carefully and thoroughly studied. The study of fluori-
dation will continue for many years, just as the study of other chemicals, like the
sulfa drugs, continues, although certainly there is sufficient knowledge for them to be
used in the practice of medicine. This is the way science advances, and every chemical
used in the science of medicine is continuously under study. Only in this sense is
fluoridation in the experimental stage.
There is no documented evidence that fluoridation, as used in Wichita Falls,
is in. Alsy way harmful to machinery or water systems.
There is no evidence that there is sufficient concentration of fluorides in
cooking, baking, canning, or brewing to make the consumption of fluorides harmful when
fluoridated water is used in preparation.
The cost, 5 cents per person per year, is cheap when the value to our children
is considered. The savings in dental bills makes fluoridation a good investment.
Over 16,000,000 people in the United States are drinking water with fluorides
added, and over 3,500,000 are drinking water which naturally contains 1 ppm, or more,
of fluorides.
RECOMMENDATION:
This committee feels that fluoridation of the municipal water supply of
Wichita Falls has been proven to be safe for human consumption and that it will b e of
definite value in the partial protection against tooth decay. It is recommended that
the City Council continue its approval of fluoridation of the municipal water supply
of Wichita Falls for the benefit of children of today and futtiwgenerations.
