The City crews repaired and finished Bickenbach Low Water crossing this past week. Bickenbach is now opened to the public. I want to thank the City Crews for their efforts and dedication to Mason for a job well done in saving our citizens valuable funds. When we all work together, we can accomplish many things.
If you have driven down Bickenbach Ave in the past few days you will find that the low water crossing for Comanche Creek has now been replaced and is reopened. This is not a regular every day route for most of us, but it is the primary access for Gooch Cemetery and is important on those days when we have to say “goodbye” to someone in our community.
Sometimes, even when you're watching a game live, it can be so confusing that trying to determine what is happening can be quite difficult. Friday night's meeting with the Brackettville Tigers is one of those games that, at almost every turn, defies description.
The officiating, as well as the running of the scoreboard, caused a great deal of confusion for players and for fans.
Dear Mason County Readers,
Mason County News editor Gerry Gamel has informed me that the paper will no longer run my column after the end of October. The decision was made in light of complaints the paper has received which hold that my column has become too political and not outdoors enough.
Members and guests of the Heart of Texas Chapter of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas (DRT) enjoyed a presentation by Judge Bill Spiller at their regular monthly meeting on Monday. Spiller told an exciting tale of his ancestor’s attack by Indians in San Saba County. His great great great grandfather and a companion survived after being shot multiple times by arrows.
I hope you are enjoying the milder temperatures of fall as I know I am. It is one of my favorite times of the year when we get to enjoy the colorful changing of the leaves and family gatherings.
LANDFILL:
Looking at the progress of our new landfill, it is going forward in the capable hands of our engineers from Biggs and Matthews with oversight by our competent City Manager, John Palacio.

I would like to correct some points in Will McCann’s letter to the News last week.
Mr. McCann wrote that there is a new precedent/policy of “holding the actual amount of taxes flat each year.” This is incorrect. No one suggested this as a policy.
"So, the city did not raise taxes, but the valuations increased due to a good economy.”
This is incorrect.

I was looking for a place to move to a few years ago and stopped by Mason. The first few people I met in town and they were all very nice.
