Most City employees were
given a five per cent pay
Increase at Tuesday night's
regular city council meet-
ing. The hike In pay will go
Into effect October 15, and
the extra money will be on
the November 1 pay checks.
Mayor E. H, Whitehead told
the council he had checked
with neighboring cities, and
assured the council that the
five per cent raise would
put the City in line with ne-
ighboring cities. The Mayor
gave a job by Job compar-
ison with Jacksonville.
Number of men working on
the garbage crew was reduced
and the crew agreed to work
a full eight hour day.
Mayor Whitehead said rhe
council wished to have Her-
man Bradley, who operates
the city's maintainer, to de-
vote more tme to streets.
Bradley will continue to be
In charge of the garbage dump,
but will now have help from the
garbage crew.
Salaries of City Utilities Di-
rector, J. D, Norton, City
Se&etary Kendrick Frazer,
and office help Mrs. Jo Al
exander and Mrs, Nancy Fi-
jian were increased $5,00
per month.
Salaries of the police de-
partment were not studied

The city Is going to be forc-
ed to spend around $15,000 at
the sewer disposal plant, ac-
cording to Pat dePamphllis,
engineer with Wlsenbaker,
Fix and Associates of Tyler.
The State Health Department
sent a representative to Rusk
earlier this month and noti-
fied Mayor Whitehead that the
city's permit must be up-
graded. All sewer water
must be treated by clorln
before It enters the creek.
This problem Is universal In
this area. dePamphalls said
federal government will pay
30% of the cost of the plant
Installation.
W, R. Nichols of Dallas,
who now owns the Sheffled
Steel property, has offered
to give the City two deep
water wells If the city would
provide water for five apart-
ments he plans to build. Ni-

Eagles Enter District Play
Rusk's Eagles begin "play
for keeps" Friday night when
they visit Dlboll for the first,
and possibly most important
football game Coach Doug
Jordan's Feathered Flock will
play this year,
Morale of the Birds Is good
after their convincing 27-0
win over a tough Whitehouse
team Friday night.
The Flock had heavy work
outs Tuesday with offense
stressed. Defense was on
their grid menu Monday,
Dlboll runs from the Wlnged-
T formation. They depend
on the power sweep and quar-
terback option plays. Oather
Spencer, quarterback, Is ca-
pable of passing when needed.
He doesn't pass a great deal,
however.
Bill Yates, split end, is Sp-
encer's favorite receiver.
The Lumberjacks have a
potential all.stater inThomas
Joshua, 195 fullback. This
boy has great moves, and
runs with a great deal of
power.
Best lineman for the D1
boll eleven Is Kelvin Phlpps,
left guard. He plays corner
back on defense.
