PANOLA WATCHMAN. Carthage. Texas. January 30.1W7-AS
PAC Suit Settled
For Only $1,000
Litigation between Panola County and
Proleaaional Appraiaal Company (PAC)
of Port Worth, the firm hired in 1973 to
revalue property in the county for tax
purpoaea, hat been aettled out of court,
according to LeRoy LaSalle, attorney for
the county.
LaSalle aaid the aettlement involved a
caah payment of tl.ooo to PAC-a figure
aome 13.29ft leu than the appraisal firm
claimed the county owed in a counter suit
against the county.
While the settlement has been reached,
LaSalle said, it has not yet been filed in
the District Clerk's office here
Necessary papers have been returned to
PAC’s attorney for proper signatures and
LaSalle uid he expects to have the
settlement entered in the District Court
by next week
The county had deposited the entire
$4,296 with the District Clerk.
LaSalle uid the county settled the
case, paying PAC the 11,000. because the
county did make U8e of the PAC
information and records, to the extent
that the Commiuioners Court deemed it
to be appropriate and useable at that
time, in the reappraisal of properties
throughout the county
PAC was hired and revalued all
property in the county in 1972, but its
revaluations were thrown out by
commiuioners when a hast of angry
taxpayers appeared to violently protest
the new valuations The Carthage
Independent School District also rejected
PACs valuations while the Gary
Independent School District and the City
of Carthage utilized the new property
values in their tax programs
After its rejection of the PAC values,
the county filed suit to recover some
Wft.iKK) it had already paid the company
PAC. in return, filed suit against the
county to gain payment of the additional
$4,295 owed for the job
PAC also sought six per cent interest
on that money and asked for an
additional one-third of that amount for
attorney's fees
WORK PROGRESSES—Construction of the central concession-storage
building at the new Carthage Municipal Park has been progressing
steadily with concrete aprons being poured last week. Brick work on the
first floor of the two-story building has also been completed. The central
building, which will also include restroom facilities, will serve all four of
the planned ball Yields at the park. Carthage City Manager Charles
Thomas said Monday night that the Little League baseball field will be
ready for use this summer but that other ball fields-one for the college,
high school and softball-will not be completed in time for this year’s

Cattle losses in Texas have
been mounting in recent weeks
due to a combination of cold,
wet weather and lack of quality
forage.
“Lasses have been up sharply
in some counties in the Gulf
Coast region because of a
combination of these factors,"
points out Dr. Larry Boleman,
area beef cattle specialist with
the Texas Agricultural Ex-
tension Service. "Also adding to
the losses is the fact that the
cattle in this region of the state
are mostly Brahman and Brah-
man crosses that cannot
withstand a lot of the cold, wet
weather that has been around
since last fall
“Most cattle can tolerate
either wet or cold weather to
some extent, but this fall and
winter we've had the two
together and that's been a big
part of the problem TV fact
that the type of cattle in this
area have short hair and a
greater surface area per unit of
weight to tolerate hot summer
weather also works to their
disadvantage during wet, cold
conditions “
Boleman also emphasizes
that poor nutrition coupled with
the adverse weather has led to
many cattle deaths “Cattle
need quality roughages during
these critical periods. However,
many producers either do not
have good quality hay available
or have not been able to get to
their herds with the feed due to
bqggy pastures "
TV Extension specialist
explains that wVn a mature
cow is in good winter condNion,
she generally is not too
seriously affected when the
temperature drops from the
comfort me of M decrees be
around ft degrees F as kpg as
she is tag of forage, base dry
hair root, and is exposed to dry,
still air
Boleman uses the term
' critical temperature in
talking about row maintenance
(taring certain weather con
dittoes “This is the tern

F. If feed consumption is in-
creased to the point that the cow
can consume all the hay she
desires along with three to five
pounds of protein supplement,
her critical temperature will
drop below o degrees F."
The specialist adds that wet •
hair coats and increased wind
speeds increase the critical
temperatures of cattle. A-
change in wind speed from one-
half to 10 miles per hour will
cause cows to inc*«ase their
heat production by 20 to 35 per
cent to maintain body tem-
perature
In addition to feeding cattle
all the hay they can eat during
the cold, wet periods, Boleman
also advises producers to
provide shelter for cows that
arc calving.
Looking ahead, there appears
to be no relief from the cold, wet
weather that has plagued much
of Texas during the past few
months, particularly in the
coastal regions. The 30-day
outlook issued by the National
Weather Service indicates
continued cool, we conditions.
" This means that producers
must continue to give close
attention to maintaining their
cattle herds by providing ad-
ditional hay and protein feed,"
adds Boleman
