COTTON BELT STATE BANK
The Oldest Bank in ,
The state ad valorem tax for
general revenue will be 35
cents on each 8100 of assessed
value. The tax to pay Con-
federate pensions will be seven
cents. Last year the state
school tax levy was 20 cents.
It was believed that this
year the school levy could be
reduced to 16 cents. That is
hardly likely since the extra
*1.555,000 that would have
been on hand will be gone.
How much the tax will be de-
pends on whether the Board
again makes an initial allot-
ment of *17.50 or allots $13.50
or more. The Attorney Gener-
al ruled that **17.50 is not a

Formal setting of the tax
rate will be made by an auto-
matic tax board. Its members
are the Governor, State Comp-
troller and State Treasurer.
Their board duties are strictly
ministerial. So much so that
• the board is designated the
j Automatic Tax Board.
| The board must follow a
{formula. Money unexpended

; becomes a nest egg for anoth-
i er year. The school appor-
tionment is part of the needed
, amount. . Ar. estimated reve-
nue from special taxes is ar-
: rived at by taking the receipts
for half of the present year
; and the last half of the preeed-
: ing year.
This, too, is deducted from
the total of money needed.
Valuations are received from
county tax assessors and a tax
levied large enough to reduce
the net amount needed.

board is expected to meet July
20 to do the computing. Ex-
pected is the word. Usually
the time is postponed because
the reports on values are not
complete. A second notice
has been sent out by the State
Comptroller to Tax Asessors

ready received indicate that

The father of Grady War-
ren, electrocuted last Friday,
failed to appear before the
State Pardon Board because a
letter giving him notice of the
hearing, set for July 6, lay in
the wrong postoffice.
Warren had written to the
board. His letter was headed
“Tyler, Texas.” In it he gave
his postoffice address as White-
house.
The reply, setting a date,
was sent to Tyler. When War-
Ten’s relatives did not arrive
July 6, the board delayed a
day, believing Roods prevalent
at that time might have pre-
vented attendance. Finally
the adverse report was sent to
the Governor. An appearance
likely would cot have changed
the result. Board members
are very positive in their re-
port.

Jim Boy, Governor Allred’s

Decorations in the Gover-

“last word” in interior decora-

teacher and experts from two

selections.
Result: Blue Bonnet blue
walls, a mulberry carpet, some
chairs upholstered in Alice
blue; others in yellow and
black and draperies in yellow
and gold. The yellow is sup-
posed to be gold. The drap-
eries were imported from Italy.
Colors desired were not found
in any American stocks, so
drapes were especially woven.
