' Sales Tax
State Comptroller Bob
Bullock said that his office
has mailed checks totaling
$13.7 million to Texas cities
and towns as their February
rebate of the one-cent city
sales tax.
Bullock said 1978 city sales
tax rebates to date total $32.2
million, compared to $30.4
million during the first two
months of last year.
The Comptroller said the
1978 increase in rebates is
nothing to crow about so far,
but predicted that March
city rebate checks will go a
long way toward
replenishing city coffers.
"The 1977 Christmas
quarter was most likely an
all-time record quarter for
sales tax collections by
retailers," Bullock said.
He explained that sales tax
returns for that quarter and
monthly returns for
December were due January
31 and the city sales tax is
now being processed for the
March 15 city rebates.
The biggest February
check-for $2.8 million-went
to Houston. Dallas followed
with $1.4 million, San An-
tonio with $795,972, Fort
Worth with $542,741 and El
Paso with $368,029.
Roma-Ijos Saenz received
a check totaling $2,984.42 net
payment for this period. The
net payment for the same
period last year was for
$2,259.12.
Payments to date in 1978
for Roma-Los Saenz
amounts to $5,633.74. To the
same date in 1977 that
community had received
$5,138.42. This shows
Roma-Los Saenz has jn.
creased its net payment
allocation by nine per cent.

Towel dry hair as much as
possible before using an
electric hair dryer-and save
energy, suggests Claudia
Kerbel, consumer in-
formation specialist with the
Texas Agricultural Ex-
tension Service, The Texas
A&M University System.
To remove fusible in-
terfacing or fusible web once
W it has been set in place,
cover with a damp press
cloth, steam for 10 seconds
with an iron and carefully
pull apart while still warm,
says Becky Culp, clothing
specialist with the Texas
IM Agricultural Extension
Service, The Texas A&M
University System.
If a residue remains on the
fabric, remove by laying a
damp cloth on top of the
residue and repeatedly
steam until the cloth has
absorbed the residue, she
adds.
Buy or compare insulation
by the "R" number rather
than by inches or thickness,
vSl® says Pat Seaman, housing
and home furnishings
specialist with the Texas
Agricultural Extension
Service, The Texas A&M
University System.
More resistant insulations
A have higher ' R" numbers,

residue and oils from inside

unplugged appliance,
