CITY COUNCIL SETS TAX
RATE AND RAISES
ASSESSED VALUES
The City Council, meeting in
special session, has set the tax
rate for the year 1964. It will
remain at $1.35 per hundred
dollars assessed valuation, the
same as it has been since 1953.
At the same meeting, assessed
values of all property within the
city limits was increased from
33 1/3 to 40% of equalized val-
ues. This increase was approved
by the voters along with the ap-
proval of the recent Waterworks
Improvement Bond Issue. The
raise on the assessments will
mean an actual increase of 20%
in the amount of City tax you
pay.

season looking on, the Little

HORSE RACES TOP
4th OF JULY AT
FREDERICKSBURG
Horse races will be a feature
attraction at the annual Fourth
of July Festival at the Fair
Grounds in Fredericksburg, July
3, 4, and 5. Daily programs of
races will feature Texas out-
standing thoroughbreds in races
ranging from 220-yard sprints
to “derbies” of a mile and a
quarter in length.
The venerable half-mile oval
tract on which racing has been
held since 1892 has been placed
in top condition; the eight-horse
starting gate has been rebuilt
like new and a brand new grand-
stand was completed last year
to bring cool, comfortable seat-
ing to more than 4,500 racing
fans. Seats may be reserved on
both grandstands.
Brass Band music will be a
feature on each of the three
days to bring added merriment
to the festival.
Western entertainment is a-
nother added attractions daily,
featuring “Arizona Dave” with
highly trained horses, unbeliev-
able feat with a bullwhip and
other specialties to be shown
between races.
“Over 100 horses are on the
grounds to fill daily racing cards
and one of the best Fourth of
July Festivals in history is to be
unreeled at Fredericksburg,”

SOCIAL SECURITY
Planning to retire soon? One
service often overlooked is the
help your social security office
can give you, even before that
last day of work comes. Know-
ing when and how to file an ap-
plication for social security ben-
efits and just what proofs will
be needed can save unnecessary
trips to the social security office
and speed the delivery of your
first check.
One item that you are sure to
need is your social security
number. Take your social secur-
ity card with you when you vis-
it the social security office;
your number is different from
any other, and it identifies the
earnings record upon which your
benefits will be based. Also take
some proof of your age with
you. A birth certificate is pref-
erable,- but other evidence can be
used too; the social security of-
fice will be glad to furnish you
with a list of acceptable proofs.
For further information, see
your social security representa-
tive, Mr. Charles E. Engelken,
who will be in Boeme, Texas, at
the DPW Building on Thursday
July 9, 1964, at 9 a. m.
WATER SAFETY FROM THE
AMERICAN MEDICAL
ASSOCIATION
The summer swimming sea-
son is here again. If records hold
some 6,000 Americans will
drown. Water safety rules sho-
uld be known and understood by
all.
The fundamentals are: Never
Swim Alone, Don’t Swim just
after eating or when overtired.
Never dive into unknown water.
If a boat overturns stay with it,
don’t try to swim a long distance
to shore.
Artificial respiration and how
to apply it is important, the
mouth method is the best but
must be started immediately.
Put victim on his back, pull the
chin well up, make certain the
windpipe is clear, put your mou-
th over the victim’s mouth, pin-
ch shut his nose and blow hard,
repeat 12 to 15 times per min-
ute. Keep this up until medical
help arrives.
