CONCLUSION OF MORNING CALL The President Pro Tempore at 10:29 a.m. announced the conclusion of morning call. COMMITTEEiiSUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL 160 ON SECOND READING On motion of Senator Williams and by unanimous consent, the regular order of business was suspended to take up for consideration CSSBi160 at this time on its second reading: CSSB 160, Relating to the regulation of certain aggregate production operations by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality; providing penalties. The bill was read second time and was passed to engrossment by a viva voce vote. All Members are deemed to have voted "Yea" on the passage to engrossment. COMMITTEEiiSUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL 160 ON THIRD READING Senator Williams moved that Senate Rule 7.18 and the Constitutional Rule requiring bills to be read on three several days be suspended and that CSSBi160 be placed on its third reading and final passage. 602 82nd Legislature Ð Regular Session 27th Day The motion prevailed by the following vote:iiYeasi30, Naysi1. Nays:iiWentworth. Reason for Vote Senator Wentworth submitted the following reason for vote on suspension of the Constitutional Three-day Rule: I cast a "No" vote on the procedural motion to suspend the Constitutional Rule requiring that bills be read on three several days in order to take up and consider CSSBi160, because in my judgment no circumstance exists in this case to justify the extraordinary act of suspending a requirement of the Texas Constitution. The suspension of this Constitutional Rule has the direct and immediate effect of denying the people of Texas knowledge and notice of the passage of this measure until it has already been finally passed on third reading. Were we to have followed the requirement of the Texas Constitution, third reading and a vote on CSSBi160 would have occurred on the next legislative day, allowing for Texans to have learned through news reports of our second reading vote exactly what we had tentatively passed. Third reading and a vote on the next legislative day would also have allowed our professional staff an opportunity overnight to make sure any amendments passed on second reading are technically correct. WENTWORTH The bill was read third time and was passed by the following vote:iiYeasi31, Naysi0. SENATE BILL 173 ON SECOND READING On motion of Senator West and by unanimous consent, the regular order of business was suspended to take up for consideration SBi173 at this time on its second reading: SB 173, Relating to civil remedy of violations of certain municipal health and safety ordinances. The bill was read second time and was passed to engrossment by a viva voce vote. All Members are deemed to have voted "Yea" on the passage to engrossment. SENATE BILL 173 ON THIRD READING Senator West moved that Senate Rule 7.18 and the Constitutional Rule requiring bills to be read on three several days be suspended and that SBi173 be placed on its third reading and final passage. The motion prevailed by the following vote:iiYeasi30, Naysi1. Nays:iiWentworth. Reason for Vote Senator Wentworth submitted the following reason for vote on suspension of the Constitutional Three-day Rule: Thursday, March 17, 2011 SENATE JOURNAL 603 I cast a "No" vote on the procedural motion to suspend the Constitutional Rule requiring that bills be read on three several days in order to take up and consider SBi173, because in my judgment no circumstance exists in this case to justify the extraordinary act of suspending a requirement of the Texas Constitution.

    79th Annual Meeting of The West Texas Historical Association April 5 - 6, 2002 Angelo State University San Angelo, Texas On the cover: The sign, The Rainbow's End, was developed from a deal that two oil men made in buying two Dodge cars in 1925. The sign was put into place Apri/1926 and spanned Chadbourne Street between the Central National Bank and Baker-Hemphill Company. (photo courtesy of West Texas Collection) According to the Standard-Times, the oil men and the car dealership could not come to terms on the vehicles but offered to give halfof the difference "to some benefaction of the city ... the deal was made, with $118 pledged toward it by each of the contracting parties." Soon the idea ofa sign came up, and other businesses chipped in to pay for it. Part ofthe deal was that West Texas Utilities Company would furnish, free of charge, the electricity needed to operate the sign. The Rainbow's End continued to be the slogan for the city ofSan Angelo for over a decade until the sign blew down during a West Texas sand storm. The sign was never replaced.

  • Wichita Falls Program, 2001
    78th Annual Meeting of The West Texas Historical Association March 30-31, 2001 Midwestern State University Wichita Falls, Texas On the cover: Union Station, Wichita Falls, Texas 1953. Located near Eighth and Ohio, it cost $100,000 to build in 1910. (Photo courtesy of Southwest Collection, Texas Tech University) In 1876 M. W. Seeley mapped out Wichita Falls on a tract of land near the Wichita River. The site was named for a five-foot waterfall that subsequently washed away. Seeley envisioned prosperity from steamboats on the river and warehouses laden with cotton. Wichita Falls did grow to become a transportation and supply center for Northwest Texas and southern Oklahoma, but it was railroads and oil that made this happen. Shortly after the turn of the century oil was discovered outside the city, in Clay County, and by 1913 the North Texas fields were producing forty-six percent of all the oil in Texas. Refineries began to appear in Wichita Falls, and by 1915 there were nine refineries and forty-seven factories within the city. The boom was on! Refinery activity was at an all-time low in 1962 when the city's leaders moved to diversify the economy by attracting other types of industry. The economic base shifted to manufacturing and commercial activity, Sheppard Air Force Base, and county government. The doors of Wichita Falls Junior College opened in September, 1922. Operated by the Wichita Falls 1SD, it was the second municipal junior college in Texas. In1937 the junior college moved to a new campus on Taft Blvd. and opened under a new name, Hardin Junior College.
