Adoption, spaying/neutering answers to overcrowding of no-kill shelters
To the editor:
Weekly I walk several municipal shelters to pull animals that are up for euthanasia. This is a hard job to do, but the rewards are great. Animal Control provides a wonderful service to the community by keeping our streets free of roaming animals. Sad to say there are more animals than space available, so animals have to be put to sleep.

Cost to build trails is the question
To the editor:

I just read Opinion/ Guess Viewpoint of Joe Johnson (BIKER) in Caddo Mills enjoyment of the trails in Florida and Missouri. I have heard that he is a nice guy and grew up around the local area and I respect his opinion. Nothing in his opinion explained how these trails were built and paid for. So here is my opinion. If someone would research the total cost it took to build this enjoyment using Our taxpayers money it would be in the the millions of dollars level, I am sure.

Hike and Bike Trail a bad idea
To the editor:
I had sent you a letter to the editor a while back that you had stated it was not needed in your area. Now it is.
Funding has been approved for a 12-Mile Hike and Bike Trail by TPWD — National Recreational Trail Fund for a private not-for-profit group to construct it along the old Chaparral RR. It is to start on the east side of Fannin County line that adjoins Delta County. From there it will go west through the city of Ladonia, then dips down into Hunt County above Commerce area for a short distance, then continues back up into Fannin County and will come down into Hunt County just east of Hwy. 34.

Old houses worth saving
Dear Bob and Sherry Johnson,
I was looking at the Commerce Journal and saw the story about the Bonham Historic District. My uncle and aunt Jack and Iva Lilly owned the house at 1408 Bonham. My aunt was an interior decorator and had an office in Dallas.

Last minute equals last place
To the editor,
My heart goes out to you, poor soul. Your instructors put the term paper parameters and due dates in the syllabus. You only had 15 weeks to work on it.

Setting fine standard
To the editor:
To say that I am appalled by Texas A&M-Commerce football players allegedly stealing copies of the East Texan, I am equally appalled, if not more so, by the head football coach's attitude, 'condoning and encouraging' it.
