WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF A
FIRE DESTROYED YOUR HOME?
Could you afford to buy a new home or
rebuild your home? You probably have
"fire and extended coverage" insurance
with your mortgage, but is this enough?
This insurance might only pay off the
mortgage. See us for advice.

AUSTIN — A 1968 consti-
tutional amendment did not
affect the amount of fees
that should be paid county
tax assessor-collectors for as-
sessing and collecting county
taxes, but it limits the amount
that may be paid by the state.
So ruled Atty. Gen. Crawford
Martin recently. (State can-
not be required to pay more
than two per cent of state
taxes assessed which are act-
ually collected.)
In other recent opinions,
Martin concluded that:
State Department of Public
Welfare is authorized to
spend money to refurbish the
interior of a building which is
leased by a county on a long-
term basis and furnished the
welfare agency rent-free.
An otherwise recordable
affidavit of heirship may be
recorded in the office of a
county clerk even though the
unprobated will is attached.
However, the unprobated will
not constituting the exhibit
to an affidavit may not be
recorded with the clerk al-
though it contains acknow-
ledgement.
Texas Board of Corrections
is not obligated to collect, nor
most public utilities pay, for
placing lines along public
roadways transversing state-
owned lands under prison
system control. (TBC has no
authority to reserve the ex-
clusive right to grant utility
easements over such public
roadways.)
Harris County Hospital Dis-
trict may legally enter into
a lease contract for an X-
Ray equipment system for a
period of five years, contin-
gent on availability of ap-
propriated funds.
DDT BAN URGED — Tra-
vis Audubon Society of Aus-
tin called on Governor Smith
According to Mr. Way.
man Smith, Chairman of the
Stonewall county Savings
Bonds Committee, October
to use "all resources" to ban sales of United States Sav-
the use of insecticide DDT jngs Bonds and Freedom
in Texas. Shares in Stonewall county
Resolution claimed that were $8,145. The year-to-date
DDT is harmful to wildlife, sales totaled $57,418 which
remains toxic in environment
for 10 years, is spread by
wind and water, and has been
"implicated" as a possible
cancer cause.
Arizona, California and
M i c h i g an, Czechoslovakia,
Sweden and Denmark have
banned DDT already, the
Society contended, further
noting that "numerous other
insecticides can do the job and
become harmless to the en-
vironment within a few weeks'.'
is 72 per cent of the 1969
goal of $80,000.
Sales in Texas durj^
October were $14,09,900
and sqles for the 10-month
period totaled $148,528,569
for 87 per cent of the 1969
goal of $170.1 million.
Over the nation, sales for
the month were $438 million
— a 24-year peak for any
October and 2 per cent high-
er than a year ago.
