The names of five people who at-
tended the GHS Class of ’68 were
ported.
The supervisor of the city’s
parks and Frank Buck Zoo re-
vealed that no one has turned in
a report to the police depart-
ment, concerning the loss of
such a cycle. And he wonders
why.
If you’ve lost a bicycle and
believe you can identify it
properly, contact local police
about the so far unclaimed
10-speed. They tell me it’s a
beautiful bicycle and it would
be a shame if the proper owner
fails to claim it.

THIS YEAR’S mini-camp
begins Aug. 1 at Leonard Park
and continues through Aug. 5.
Each session opens at 9a.m.
and concludes at noon.
The camp is designed for
youngers 6 through 12 years of
age with each student paying a
modest fee of only $16. That fee
enables each student to receive
a special T-shirt and it’ll make
them eligible to be a guest for a
Leopard home football game
during the coming fall months.
Students will also have the
opportunity to take part in
pre-game activities at that spe-
cial grid contest.

So, they’ve devised a plan to

Uselton said numerous Texas
school districts have been in-
volved in similar disputes.
“This is one of the problems
across the state. It’s a common
problem,” Uselton said.
Controversy has occurred
because the career ladder was
implemented before a state-
approved evaluation was ready
for use, Uselton said.
During the first year of the
career ladder — the 1985-86
school year — school districts
used their own evaluation in-
struments, the superintendent
said.
Uselton would not say
whether the dispute involving
Lynch is related to that.

will begin Thursday at 9 a.m.
Parrish explained to the comm-
issioners Monday that if the county
tax base remained the same and the
county’s revenues from fees, fines
and court charges remains the
same, the commissioners must deal
with a revenue shortage of about
$364,000 for the 1988-89 fiscal year
which begins Oct. 1.
That $364,000 figure, however,
does not include any additional
county employees, vehicles, com-
puter equipment or pay raises, she
said. If these items were added to
next year’s budget, an additional
$123,188 deficit would occur.
Moreover, if the commsioners
decide to pay two constables, that
short-fall figure will be increased
by another $55,000 for a total deficit
of about $542,000 without a tax in-
crease, Parrish said.
She added that if the comm-
issioners purchase a small
ambulance during the present bud-
get year out of the county’s reserve
fund, only about $400,000 will re-
main on reserves for the coming
budget year.
“So if we’re looking at a deficit of
over $500,000 and we only have
$400,000 in reserves, you bet we’ll
have to talk some kind of tax in-
crease,” Knight said. “Eventhough
that’s the last thing we want to do. ”
The funding problem was further
fouled by figures released Monday
from the Cooke County Appraisal
District concerning the county tax
base, which is estimated to have
decreased by about $34 million from
the 1987-88 tax year.
Last year, the county government
had a taxable value base of about
$804 million. This year the CCAD
