Gentlemen:
The CONCERNED CITIZENS COMMITTEE, II, a group of approximately
fifty (50) citizens of Kerr County, Texas, have been engaged for a
period of months in the study of the need for additional space at the
Kerr County courthouse. After careful consideration, the Committee re-
commends the following to you:
1. That a courthouse annex be constructed in accordance with the basic
design concept prepared by A. B. Scaank, F.A.I.A,, and Lester Whitton,

annex together with the $100,000.00 to be used for the refurbishing,
repairing and remodeling of the present courthouse.
6. That your Court submit a second and separate issue to the people of
Kerr County, authorizing the issuance of $100,000.00 in jail bonds, to
