First National Bank Issues
First Cash Dividend
The first cash dividend to be
issued by the bank is being
mailed out to shareholders this
week by the First National
Bank of Ingleside
Byron Calcote, bank presi-
dent, and directors are this
week really smiling over the
dividend and particularly over
the advances the bank has
made in cutting expenses and
increasing its profit in a one
year period
In a letter to shareholders this
week, Calcote states that the
Board of Directors have
authorized the cash dividend of
10 cents per share to share
holders of record Feb 28, 1974.
In a letter mailed to
shareholders on March 1,
Calcote states, “The year 1973
marked a substantial im-
provement for the bank both in
quality and in capacity for
service to our customers.
Management is convinced the
bank's operation has been
returned to a stable and
profitable condition "
“Your management is grate-
ful for the support of our
stockholders, I he wise counsel
of our dedicated Board of
Directors, the efforts of our
staff, and most important, for
the confidence of our cus-
tomers "
Calcote noted that in 1972 the
bank had suffered a large loss
due to had loans In 1973, the
bank developed a “turnabout
situation " Its net profit for 1973
was $15,711 and at the same
time its bad debt reserve s’tood
at $43,000.
The total operating income of
the bank increased by 10
percent. Calcote said that
"during a period of heavy price
increases the bank spent $13,000
less on operating expenses”
than the previous year.
Calcote said the bank had
learned in 1972 that large
concentrated deposits were
not economical. Also, certifi-
cates of deposit were allowed to
“flow’ out and a concentrated
effort was made to improve the
profits of I he bank by its
direrffes and management ”
Figures released by the bank
show that the future for the
bank is looking very green. At
the end of 1973 their deposits
were $4,261,366 compared to
deposits on Monday, March 18,
of this year of $4,521,317 This is

City Resolution Opposes
Industrial Waste Site
ROBERT W. LINDGREN
Tickets for the banquet may
be obtained from members of
the Chamber of Commerce at
any of their places of business.
Ingleside joined the city of
Corpus Christi Thursday night
in opposing an industrial waste
disposal site in Live Oak
County.
The Ingleside City Council
approved a resolution opposing
the disposal site The resolution
states that this operation will be
conducted in the area of the
water supply for the City of
Ingleside.
Sam Ingrum of Ingleside
proposed the resolution to the
city council In making the
proposal, Ingrum stated that
the Nueces River watershed,
from which Ingleside draws its
water, is just below the waste
disposal site The City of Corpus
Christi has taken the position,
said Ingrum, that the facility
under construction is not safe.
Robert Schneider, in a speech
to the Corpus Christi Rotary
Club Wednesday, said the city
will go to court if necessary
over a toxic waste disposal pit
in the Nueces River watershed.
Schneider said that if tests
show the city’s position is
justified and if the Texas Water
Quality Board (TWQBi refuses
to stop the project, then the city
will have no choice but to go to
court
South Texas Industrial Ser-
vice was granted a certificate in
December for the site by the
TWQB
Ingrum said he works with
the firm which has been
employed by the City of Corpus
Christi to investigate the site.
Youth Activities Raise
Questions From Citizens
The lack of recreational
facilities for the youth of
Ingleside was put to the
Ingleside city council Thursday
when Mrs. Joy Winkle re-
quested the city provide some
place where young people can
meet.
Mrs. Winkle said a place was
need for youngsters during
week-end nights. She said youth
dances had been tried last year-'
in the Youth Center and that
didn’t work because there was
rouble.
She suggested the city
provide some kind of activity
that would involve only Ingle-
side school children. If the city
provided activities or a meeting
place for youngsters, Mrs.
Winkle suggested, then there
would be no problems with the
youngsters.
Councilman Carl Hughes in
replying to Mrs. Winkle’s
suggestion that the activities be
limited to children in school,
said the city can not do this
because it would be discrimina
