Tax Payers Nay Father Succumbs
Avoid Penalty At Harlingen
If Act At Once
The Third Called Session of th«-
Texaa Legi-lature passed h law re-
I earing nil Interest and penaltir
thait have accrued or that may ac-
cmt on ail valorem and poll taxe-
that are delinquent on or before
December SI, 111S2, due the State,
County, School District, Road Mm
trict anil other defined auhdivi- J
nion« of the State provided such
ad valorem nnd poll taxe- nre piiid
on or before December SI, 1982.
The law further provide* that the
release of such pennlty and inter
rut shall not apply to city, town or
villa*** unless such cities, towns
or villages pass h resolution or or-
dinance releasing such interest anil
penalties.
This law i- one that should be of
material benefit to the tux payers
who aw delinquent for any year
up to and Including 1981 because
such delinquent tax payers will not
be required to pay the ten per cent
penalty and six per cent interest
on delinquent taxes owned by
them. In some instances the penal-
ty and interest amount to almost
as much hs the taxe- and this law
should he an inducement to delin
quent tax payers to pay their tax-
es in order to avoid the payment
of penalty and interest
The Tax Collector of Shackel-
ford County reports that a few de-
linquent tax payers are taking ad-
vantage of the opportunity to pay
delinquent taxes wit'nout penalty
and interest, but that many tax
payers who owe delinquent taxes
are not taking advantage of the
opportunity to pay their taxe
without paying penalty and inter-
est. It is thought that perhaps
many people do not realize that
delinquent taxes can he p:ii<i up to
January 1, 1983 without the pay-
ment of penalty and interest anil
the News is glad to inform the tax
payers of Shackelford County con-
cerning this matter.
The school districts in the coun-
ty have suffered more than any
other subdivision of the county he-
cause of the failure to pay taxes
and if it is possible the delinquent
tax payers should pay delinquent
taxes not only to help the schools
hut as a saving to the tax payer.
News Coming Out
Early Next Week
The Alb any New- will come off
the press next Wednesday night
instead of Thursday as usual in its
Christmas edition. This is being
done in order that advertisers will
benefit by early edition. This will
necessitate that all ropy must he in
on Tuesday and Wednesday in-
stead of Wednesday and Thursday
as usual.
We are planning a good Christ-
mas edition for next week and ask
the cooperation of aU in helping
make it successful. This can be
done by turning in copy early on
advertising and reading material.

Flu Still Bad
Over Entire City
The influenza epidemic which
has been raging over the entire
state of Texas has settled on thi
inhabitants of Albany for a leng
thy seige it seenw . Many busini
men have had to In absent from
their work on account of the
dreaded epidemic.
School authorities stnte that
during the had day approximately
2f> per cent of th> -indents nre ah
sent, hut that not mori than hall
of the ahscntci actually havi tin
flu. The local doctor re-
port that they call on a- many a
twenty-five to thirty patient daily
in combating this malady.
It is usually thought that wet
weather is one of the worst ene-
mies of the influenza. Dry warm
weather seems to spread the
disease more readily. It is hoped
that with the damp weather thi
week that the number of flu vic-
tims will be greatly lessened.

The seasons weather hit a new
low Monday and Tuesday, when
the thermometer dropped to 11 for|
the two days The season' record
previous to thi.s had been 1 <•,
which had been lower than the last
year's lowest.
The rainfaM recorded by T. E.
Dodge, local weather bureau op-
erator, was .ii.'i. This amount of
rainfall, though not a great di al,
will greatly aid cattlemen and
farmers, as there wa a need for
moisture, especially for breaking

) Thursday morning the weather
was only a few degr abov
freezing; hut it looked as if th
weatherman was giving West Tex-
! as an ideal setting for a sure

City Decorated For
Holidays
The city of Albany can justly be
proud nf her Christmas decoration
for the holidays. The varied color-
ed lights really give the city n dis-
tinct holiday color with the instal-
lation of their lighting system this
week. This project was made pos-
sible through the cooperation of
the merchants and the services of
the West Texas Ctilities Co. This
same movement was carried out
last year for the Christmas holi-
days.
There will only be about nine
more days until Christmas will be
here. As it comes but once a year,
we should all enter into the spirit
of Christmas with good cheer des-
pite what is generally known as
depression handicaps. The installa-
tion of many colored lights is but
an attempt by the liierchnntsto in-
stitute good cheer in our city
throughout the holidays.
