WORLD
Aooording to figures Just releas-
ed by the county tax assessor-
collector’s office, tax collections
from all sources in Erath Coun-
ty for the tax year 1940 declined
89,897.92 from the total collec-
tions from all sources the preced-
ing year.
H. J. Gilbreath, deputy collec-
tor, attributed this drop, in round
numbers, to a 82,000 decline in
the payment of poll taxes, $4,000
lass collected in delinquent taxes
and $4,000 to a lower state tax
rate than was in effect during the
tax year 1939.
County tax collection* from all
sources in 1940 totaled $177,368.48,
aa compared with $187,266.40 coun-
ty tax collections from all sources
during the tax year 1939.
State Taxes Lower
Total State tax collections in
1940 was $49,010.16, or $8,125.56
less than the $57,135.71 received
from this source in 1939.
Taxes collected during the 12-
month period for county, road bond,
schools and polls, termed county
and subdivision tax collections for
1940, totaled $128,868.82, or $1,-
772.37 loss than the $180,180.69
collected from county and subdi-
vision sources the previous year.
Current county collections, how-
ever, showed a slight increase in
1940 over the totaf for 1989. Col-
l»ctions from this source totaled
$61,900 34. * gain of 8686.38 over
the $51,218.96“,Teceived in current
county tax payments for the tax
year 1989.

All Erath County
Under Quarantine
Due To Anthrax
out of the county, or
violate the provisions of the quar-
antine order, while this order re-
mains in effect
Over 100 Fatal Cases
Prior to Thursday, more than
100 domestic animals have died
in Erath County this year from
anthrax. There have been no known
cases, as yet south of Highway
10 and it is reported that all of
the county south of this highway
will be released from quarantine
within the next fqw days unless
the disease spread^ from the north
part of the county to the south
portion before that time.
At this time, however, the entire
county is included in the quaran-
tine order, the provisions of which
are aa follows; No domesticated
animal can be moved over the coun-
ty line out of the county, nor can
any livestock be moved into the
county other than sheep and goats.
It is likewise unlawful to move
any such stock within the con-
fines of the county from place to
place or from pasture to pasture.
During the existence ot the quar-
antine, all such stock must—re-
main at its present location and
cannot bs moved over any public
road in Erath County,
Anthrax ia a blood disease spread
primarily by flies. It is not trans-
mitted through milk, Judge Scott
said, and there is no danger of
contagion resulting from drink-
ing milk properly handled. It ia,
however, highly contagious to all
classes of stock aud to man.
All dead animals should be burn-
ed and not left to rot and care
must be taken not to come in
contact with the hides or bodies
without first taking every pos-
sible precaution against infection.
Vaccine Only Prevention
The only protection for cattle
against the disease, the county
judge advised, is by vaccination
administered by a competent and
experienced person using only
specified types of vaccine.
Length of the quarantine in
Erath County, it was pointed out,
will depend upon the way own-
ers of livestock co-operate by ob-
serving the order of' quarantine
to the letter, and by the manner
in which all livestock owners have
their animals vaccinated against
the disease.
Further details. Judge Scott
added, may be obtained from A.
B. Yearwood Sr. or Eli Rushing,
who have been appointed by the
Commissioners Court to inform
livestock owners of this county as
to the provisions of the quaran-
tine order and to protect them frdm
the consequences of unknowingly
violating this order. They may be
contacted at the court house or on
the public square in Stephenville.

7940 Total Collections
Erath County is one of the 16
counties in Texas, according to
-State financial—statistics compil-
ed .by a Dallas firm, which nad
total tax collections for the year
1940 to go above 100 per cent.
The 1940 assessed valuation for
the county was $9,504,000 and the
tax rate was 61c on the $100 valu-
ation. Current collections were
84.43 per cent of the assessed
roll, but total collections were
listed as 100.72 per cent.
Only 15 other of the 254 coun-
ties in the entire State climbed
above the 100 per cent mark, the
statistics revealed.
Delinquents Pay Up
Total tax collections are the
current plus the delinquent tax pay-
ments. This record showed that
property owners in this county who
were in arrears with their taxes
last year responded well to- the re-
quest* that delinquent taxes ‘be

An old photograph was brought
to the "attention of the Empire-
Tribune Monday by W. J. Minton,
ope-time resident of Stephenville
who now makes his home at Sher-
man. It was a group picture of
eighteen young men of this city
*who posed: together for the photo-
graph before the turn of the cen-
tury.
Although all of thoae in the
picture, except Minton, were sin-
gle qJkHhat time, there are only
our survivors, including Minton.
The other three are Jim Sand-
lin of Brownwood, Will Compton of
Fort Worth, and Baker Phillips of
C-hickasha, Oklahoma.
Despite the fact that all 8f these
men were young at the time, they
occupied prominent places in the
business life of Stephenville. Since
that time, many of the group have
had outstanding careers, either
here or elsewhere.
Group pictures were popular in
those days, possibly more so than
now. Brought out in this particu-
lar photograph is the sharp con-
trast in tile customs of dress in
that day and this. Pin-striped
trousers, long-tailed coats and bow
ties were worn by the well-dres-
sed young men, while some array-
