1836-1986
IF YOU'RE LOOKING for a haunted house this weekend, try Highway 92 about
seven miles north of Silsbee. The youth group of Wiley Mae Pentecostal Church
has been working on a spookhouse which will be open Friday and Saturday from
7 p.m. til...Peggy LeBleu, George Jeffcoat, Darla Kelley and Michael Hollyfield
are underneath the costumes. Proceeds will go to the church's building fund.
City Receives Sales Tax
Rebate Check For $21,203
...By the way, we would
remark for the benefit of
criminals in the United States,
that Texas is the very worst
place to which they can fly in
order to escape the punishment
due their crimes. There are
men from every state in the
Union scattered throughout
Texas, so that a criminal is
almost sure to be recognized by
some former acquaintance, and
such is the prejudice existing
her against this class of emi-
grants, that no pains will be
spared to place them in the
hands of justice. Galveston is
an avenue particularly guarded
in this respect. Sheriff Wilson
preserves copies of advertise-
ments for all villians published
in the principal papers in the
United States, and as the main
route to Texas is by New
Orleans and Galveston, persons
in the United States feeling an
interest in the apprehension of
criminals would do well to
furnish him with copies of
advertisements, or have them
published in the papers here.
Moreover, we would inform
the patrons of the dirk and
pistol that there is no place
where justice is more surely or
rigidly administered than in
Texas. Since the courts have
been organized, several mur-
derers have been arraigned,
condemned, and hung, without
having time enough to write a
florid confession for the edifica-
tion of their brethren of the
craft, and with scarcely enough
to repeat "God bless us,” the
prayer of the drunken groom in
Macbeth.

The state comptroller's office
sent the City of Silsbee a check
for $21,203 as the city’s share of
the one percent sales tax for
October.
The city has received
$339,433 to date which is 9.19
percent more than received last
year.
Kountze received $2,798
check for this period, and
payments to date are up 4.75
percent. Sour Lake received
$1,788 for this period and
payments to that city are up
20.29.
According to Comptroller
Bob Bullock $35.6 million was
sent to 967 Texas cities for
October.
The statewide total is up 11
percent over last year. This
payment reflects taxable sales
made in August and reported to
the state by the end of
September.
Bullock listed the cities re-
ceiving the largest payments.

Houston received $7.7 mill-
ion. So far in 1982 Houston’s
payments are up 14.1 percent
over 1981.
Dallas got $4.2 million, up 8.9
percent so far in 1982.
San Antonio got $1.9 million,
up 10 percent for the year.
Fort Worth received $1.2
million, bringing the total for
1982 to $19.9 million, up 4.5
percent for the year.
Austin received $1.3 million,
up 14.3 percent for the year.
El Paso received $841,937 up
6.6 percent for 1982.
Bullock also sent October
rebates to the state’s two
Metropolitan Transit Authori-
ties. The Houston MTA receiv-
ed $8.5 million, bringing the
total received this year to
$136.1 million, up 10.9 percent
over last year. The San Antonio
MTA got a check for $955,526,
bringing the 1982 total to $16.6
million.
These statewide figures in-
cluded the impact in border
cities of the August peso
devaluation. Past devaluations
have had an immediate nega-
tive impact on border sales but
have returned to pre-devalua-
tion levels within a year,
Bullock said.
“These are the declines
which we predicted last
month,” he said. “Even though
the thorns have begun to show,
past experience points to re-
covery for the border towns
with no long-term effect on the
rate of growth in sales.”
That’s Reservoir Robbery
Small to mid-sized communi-
ties are in danger of losing their
fresh water reserves to aggres-
sive big cities scrambling to pro-
vide water for their booming
populations. A sociologist who
has watched the action warns,
“whoever controls the water re-
sources will control the life of a
community. Water is crucial for
survival.”
