•sked that we thank the voters

carrier, was a business visitor
in town Saturday and paid a
pleasant call at the Times office.
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Hines of
of Precinct 3, Archer County, Wichita Fallsspent Friday night
for their patronage and their lwith hcr mother> r-----
many kindnesses and their co-
operation during the twelve
years be served them as com-
missioner.
As most people know, he ser-
ved through twelve of the most
trying and difficult years in the
history of our Country. This
precinct, like most all precincts
in the state, was in debt and be
had little machinery to start
with when he took hold twelve
years ago. Taxes were high,
the rate then being $1.61 on the
$100 valuation. During bis
first term property valuation
were reduced 20%, and the tax
rate reduced more than 50c on
the hundred. The bonded in-
debtedness has been greatly re-
duced and through re-financing
of road bonds, several hundred
thousands of dollars in interest
been saved the county.
The tax rate now is less than
half as much as when he entered
office. These refinancing plans
were worked out by Judge Joe
E. Shelton and those plans to-
gether with the lowering of val-
uation and rates have accom-
plished by the cooperation of
the commissners of the court,
presided over by Judge Shelton.
Mr. Key states that be leaves
his precinct free of debt with
about $4000.00 cash on hand
and leaves three up to date to
date motor-graders and other
road equipment on hand for
his successor. Mr. Key, we un-
derstand, has leased his home
place near Megargel, where he
hai lived for the past 19 yearsf
to Tommy Estill, and has pur-
chased a home in Olney where
be'will make his future home.
Hoarever he will still operate his
