goods (except fishing equip-
ment), cameras, lenses, film
and projectors, business ma-
chines, mechanical pens and
pencils, lighters, and matches.
Also, the Act repeals the tax
on the use of safe deposit boxes,
effective for periods of use be-
ginning on or after July 1,
1965.
Taxpayers who, because of
the repeal of one or more of
these taxes, are no longer re-
quired to file Forms 720 for
calendar quarters beginning on
and after July 1, 1965, should
write “final return” at the top
of the excise tax return for
the quarter ending June 30,
1965, due on or before July 31,
1965, so that their names can
be removed from the IRS mail-
ing list.
The Act also repealed the spe-
cial occupational taxes on bowl-
ing alleys, billiard or pool ta-
bles, and coin operated amuse-
ment devices (but not gaming
devices) effective July 1, 1965.
Other changes made by the
Act include graduated rate re-
ductions of the tax on passeng-
er automobiles and repeal of
other taxes on December 31,
1965, or January 1, 1966. In ad-
dition, the Act provides for
retroactive refunds to May 15,
1965, of the tax on air-condition-
ers and passenger automobiles,
and for floor-stocks refunds of
manufacturers taxes based on
inventories of tax-paid articles
held by dealers on the day af-
ter enactment of the Act.
More information about these
changes may be obtained by
contacting the IRS office.

Children Told
To Remain Clear
Of Dust Machine
Refugio.—Parents may save
their children’s lives by keep-
ing them off the streets and
away from the dust machine
used for mosquito control when
it is in operation.
A number of children in the
community have developed the
habit of riding their bicycles
closely behind the machine.
The inhalation of the insecticide
can cause serious illness. The
dust from the turbine causes
poor vision for drivers of other
vehicles, and a child in this
position could easily be struck
by a vehicle from either direc-
tion.
This appeal to the parents is
made by Refugio County Com-
missioners Court.

air conditioner
No doubt about it, air conditioning can make
a big difference to your comfort. That’s why
so many homes are adding air conditioning
each year. And with CPL electricity, the price
of comfort keeps going down! Just last Fall,
another rate reduction was announced which
will show up in appreciable savings on most
air conditioning bills this summer. The elec-
tric rate is now only 1.80 for all use between
500 and 1000 kilowatt hours per month and
it drops to 1.60 for use over 1000 KWH. The
more you use, the more you share in the
benefits of lower rates. Now’s the time to
step up to better electric living.
