Treasurer Grover Dalton re-
ceived a check Saturday from
the state tor $10,403, covering
Ai s meeting of the commls-
sloners court last week, tt was
decided that the county would
buy the right of way from the
Brown county line to the top of
the mountain at Ooldthwalte, as
h|ghwny lrr°^-
ment for highway 7. This will
place the highway through the
town of MuUln about three
blocks east of the way the old
highway now runs.Thls was done
over the protest of the citizens of
Mullin, but the court had to de-
cide at this time or at least Jeop-
ardize the possibility ol getting
the highway at this time. The
highway will also miss the town
of Goldthwalte and pass up the
mountain Just east of the high-
way warehouse on the Pecan
Belt highway and intersect -the
present highway on the top of
the mountain.
The court has also appointed
a Jury of view that has traversed
the Pecan Belt highway from
Goldthwalte to the San Saba
bridge on the Colorado river
with a view of making a few
minor changes and increasing
the width of the right of way to
100 feet as required by the de-
partment.
It Is hoped that this will ul-
timately mean the hard surfac-
ing of all the highways in the
county and the release of several
hundred thousand dollars that
labor in our county will be able
to obtain.

state aid granted to coun-
ty public schools. Goldthwalte
reeelved $1,150, Mullin received
$1,158, and the remaining schools
In the county got a total of
$8,005. ..
So far this year $3 per capita
has been paid by the state on
the $16 per capita agreed upon.
The receipt of these payments
has made It possible to pay a
number of vouchers which have
been awaiting payment. Mills
county teachers have so far re-
ceived a greater percentage of
their salaries than have the
teachers in most of the nearby
counties.

ROM’ ho had received to assess

“Tor ore advised that there
WAS Air oversight In the printing
of the last lnatructions to Tax
Assessors on the page cited by
you. There waa a law passed by
the Forty-Second Legislature
which provides that church par-
sonages shall be exempt from
Article 7150 of the Re-
vised Civil Statutes of 1925 was
also amended, and In addition to
a list of the property that
churohss and schools could
claim exemption from taxation,
khm was added a section re-
quiring schools and churches to
file with the tax assessor a cer-
tified list of all property owned
by them on which exemption Is
to be claimed.’*
Accordingly no church par-
sonages will be assessed for taxes
In Mills county this year if they
are rendered and the exemption
claimed. If they are not render-
ed by the church authorities, the
comptroller in another letter has
Instructed the tax assessors to
assess the property tor taxes the
some as any other unrendered
property. School trustees are also
required to render their school
prapsrtp and to fHe claims for
exemption tor taxes. Most of the
MUscoustg schools did this last
year, thstu assessor says.
