By BARBARA GREEN

The Bowie City Council voted to obtain an appraisal on a 24.35-acre tract of land owned by the city on the Bowie Reservoir side of Lake Amon G. Carter, the first step to the possible sale of the property.
This idea was raised by City Manager Bert Cunningham last month. Located at the end of Indian Trail Road in between Silver Lakes Ranch phase eight and the lake, the tract was part of the original land purchased when the reservoir was built. He was uncertain why it was not sold to be part of Silver Lakes when Blue Green was developing the housing subdivision.
If the council decides to move forward with the sale, Cunningham also would like to have an ordinance that would allow boat docks and boathouses on the reservoir side of the lake. He plans to submit that at the next meeting for consideration. That ordinance will include a substantial permit fee to set aside funds to address any future neglect or repair that would have to be handled by the city.

The Montague County Commissioner’s proclaimed June as Elder Abuse Awareness Month during its Tuesday session.
The court faced a brief agenda following the Memorial Day holiday. Kimberly Davis of the Adult Protective Services team for Montague and Clay County presented the proclamation. Working and living in Montague County, she said they handled 1,756 total cases last year and of those 162 were investigated in Montague County.
Davis explained elder abuse comes in many forms both physical, mental and financial, impacting men and women, old and younger and from all ethnic and economic backgrounds. Commissioners approved the proclamation and thanked Davis for her work.
