NO TAX HIKE PREDICTED
County Tax Board
Convenes On Monday
After a brief routine C 0 u r
session Tuesday morning, the
Hardin County Commissioners
Court convened as the County
Tax Equalization Board for
1972.
Representatives of some 2fi
firms with taxable property in
the County attended the open-
ing session, set exclusively for
industrial tax hearings. Wed-
nesday, July 26, was set for any
local taxpayers who wished to
be heard.
County Attorney Dwayne
Overstreet opened the hearing,
stating that the Board antici
paled no tax raise this year.
“The County is in good finan-
cial shape this year, and we
should be good next year. We
understand that we are losing
some $8 million per year in
our oil resources, but we anti-
cipated this. With continual oil
value losses we have to keep
Tires, Stereo
Thefts Are
Investigated
Two cases of theft, involving
a number of large truck tire?
and a stereo tape player, were
investigated by the Hardin
County Sheriff's Department
recently.
Charged wifh felony theft of
truck tires belonging to Kirby
Lumber Corp. are Lee Rue, 82
of 820 Bonner Street, a Jormet
Kirby employee, and Nathanie'
Johnson, 32, of 460 So lilt
Tenth, Chief Deputy Howard
Gruntham told the BEE this
week.
Grantham said that Deputj
Ira Moore, and Newton Count)
Sheriff Curtis Humphrey had
arrested the two men in Silabee
July 21. Some 16 truck tire:
were recovered from a dealei
in Newton County, he added.
Suspects were arraigned be-
fore Justice of the Peace Rex
Moore, who set bond for Rue
at $5,000 and $2,500 for John-
son. Both men were free on
bond this week, the Deputy
added. Thefts reportedly took
place during the last four
months.
Cecil West Jr., 26. and Nor-
man West. 19, of Evadale, were
being held in Hardin County
Jail Monday in lieu of $5,000
working on our timber growers
pretty heavily.”
He said that the County
should be able to live with its
35 percent ratio of assessment
and tax rate of $1.20 pe- $100
of assessed value. Tax Asses-.
sor-Collector Fred Anders said
that the oil loss could bo off-
set to a degree by “picking up
some $2'/fe million on 100 per-
cent local roll values." He add'
ed, however, that industrial
properties were liable for the
bulk of County tax collections
“Somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of 70-80 percent of our
100 percent value of $235 mil-
lion,” he told the BEE. Loca!
taxes make up tfie remainder
of between 20-30 percent, he
added.
County Auditor Horace Moye
said that he was now in pro-
cess of preparing the 1072-73
budget, which will be set for
public hearing “sometime after
Aug. 15.” He said that he was
preparing the budget on An-
der's estimated $235 million
100 percent tax value.
Prior to the start of meetings
between industrial representa-
tives and Pritchard and Abbott
appraisers, Overstreet asked
the Board if there were any
upcoming expenses that the
taxpayers should know about.
County Judge Emmett Lack
mentioned “The $117,000 bill
that Gulf States Utilities has
presented to us.” Commission-
er Hugh Bevil Means said that
he felt there should be money
set aside in the upcoming bud-
get to provide for a County-
wide garbage disposal system.
Overstreet said that the JY.sf!a;Vs
Board (Commissioners Court)
could expect a possible bond
issue to finance the County’s
part of highway work for the
Lumberton US 96 area, now
under study by the Texas High-
way Department.

help provided by the State.”
He cited other examples,
such as increasing cost of pest
and rodent control at landfill
sites, the rising volume of solid
waste disposed of by the Gar
bage Department, and
that the major deficit under
the new- budget involved Sewer
Department maintenance,
“We can expect to receive
$56,000 per year to operate the
Water and Sewer Department,
while it is estimated that it will
cost about $129,000 per year to
operate and maintain compul-
sory State standards,” he ex-
plained.
The City Manager told the
Council that he felt the City
sales tax would no longer pro-
duce adequate revenue to off-
t h e
body to consider other means
of filling the fund gap.
Councilman C. F„ Landolt
moved that City Attorneys be
instructed to draw up a reso-
lution to allow the City to pay
its Gulf States Utilities bills
after deleting the 8'!> percent
rate increase applied by GSU
this summer.
Councilman John Fordinal
that 'the Council was justified
in its action because GSU had
he said, put into effect a retro-
active rate increase after agree-
ing to re-hear the matter with
(Council had refused
the hike when first requested.)
Approved by unanimous
Council vote was Ordinance
72-10, prohibiting the firing
sale, or possession of fireworks
within the City limits. Mayor
James L. Hays, Councilman
Landolt and others said other
cities had enacted such legisia
tion to mitigate public nuisan-
ces and fire hazards.
Benny Gardner, fireworks
retailer, opined that sale with-
in the City could be allowed,
even if in-Cit,y firing of fire-
works was prohibited.
A group of citizens, headed
by Robert H. Arline, asked the
Council for action in surfacing
a number of roads in the South
21st Street area. Hickerson ex-
plained that the roads would
be surfaced sometime after
completion of sewer work in
the area next summer. “We
have to lay the sewer lines
down the center of some roads,
so it would be wasteful to sur-
face them and then tear them
up again,” he said. Arline and
Hickerson agreed that addition-
al right-of-way would also
need to be obtained to widen
some of the roads.
Hickerson agreed to meet
with Arline this week tn work
out a solution to the need for
City water at a church in the
21st Street area.
Other members of that
Street City limit area, eventu-
ally serving a proposed subdivi-
sion planned outside the City
limit.
Also, surveyor D. D. Shine
presented the final drafts of the
City “master maps" and asked
for 30 days to prepare them in
their final form. Hickerson re-
quested copies of the drafts
and was asked to go over them
to note final corrections.
Council also approved
proclamation designating t h e
week of Aug. 27-Sept. 2 as
“Texas Public Employees
Week" in Silsbee to honor area
State employees, and adopted
Resolution 72-15, pledging City
expenditure of not more than
$4,200 for some $16,000 worth
of communications equipment
offered by the Criminal Justice
Office of the Deep East Texas
Development Council.
City had applied for the
grant at request of Hickerson
and Police Chief Bob L. Ogden.
Chief Ogden told the BEE that
t h e all - transistor Motorola
equipment would provide the
City Police with a new tower,
five mobile units, and new
base station, and four new
portable radio units.
The new system will offer
four separate channels, one on
high-band frequency used by
Hardin County; one channel for
mobiie/base ' (dispatcher-patrol
ear); as well as a State-wide
band and a patrol car/patrol
car channel.
City cost is expected to be
no more than $4,040 for the
$16,000 system.
