WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the County Commissioner's Court of Lubbock County, Texas,

WHEREAS, the City of Lubbock agrees to furnish fire protection service
upon the terms and conditions stated below:

HUNDRED SIXTY-SEVEN AND 50/100 ($267. 50) DOLLARS for the City's res-
ponding to each call for fire assistance at a location beyond the City limits. The
County further agrees that payment of any obligation arising out of this Agreement
shall be made by the County from current revenues of the County of Lubbock or
from a fund established by the County and within the immediate control of the
County.
3. The Fire Chief of the City of Lubbock or his designated employee
shall make or cause to make a fire report showing the date, time, location and
