The annual audit prepared by
Davis and Wenmohs was presented
to the KMUD board of directors by
John Wenmohs at their regular
meeting on Monday, January 12.
Wenmohs praised the staff and said
that it was a smooth operation and
everyone worked well together in the
organization. He also stated that the
audit showed that everything is in
order and it is easy to tell what is
going on within the district.
The audit showed that revenues
were up slightly and that the working
capital had risen to 5^5,000. Wen-
mohs said he had no negative
comments about the audit or the
operation. He felt positive about the
addition of the computers and stated
that they wjll not improve the
operation but Will make records more
accessible, easier to maintain, pro-
duce reports that are needed and
create a more efficient operational
system.
In the absence of John Me
Whorter, Bobbie Ward presented
the tax report. A total of 56 percent
Arbor Day planned
o
by Garden Club
KINGSLAND — The Kingsland
Garden Club will meet January 16 at
1:30 p.m. at the Kingsland Com-
munity Center. Hostesses for the
meeting are Mildred Holliday, Jimi
Leigh and Martha Poye.
Patsy Coleman will present a
program on “Famous Trees of
Texas.”
This year. Arbor Day has been
included with the meeting. Mildred
Holliday is in charge. A tree will be
planted at the Kingsland Com-
munity Center.

of assessed taxes has been collected
to date, which is 1 percent less than
at this time last year. The board felt
that the collection rate was still good,
since the economy is still slightly
down, also.
Although there was no work done
on the extension project in Decem-
ber. due to the rainy weather, all
needed pipe has been purchased for
the project and has been put
together.
Manager Charles Ingram presen-
ted a petition from Care Givers, Inc.,
d/b/a Kingsland Hills Care Center,
to add 3.26 acres to the district. They
will pay 100 percent of the addition
and the board approved this addi-
tion. The board voted to charge the
nursing home the same rates as have
been set for laundromats and car
washes. This rate is based on gallon
usage and phosphate level. The
center irrigates during the summer
and therefore may have to base its
pay schedule on winter months.
There is also a possibility that the
First Baptist Church may be added,
also.
A budget report from Charles
Ingram showed that 30 percent of the
budget had been collected and only
19 percent of the monies budgeted
had been spent to date. There are
185 delinquent accounts, totaling
less than 510,000. The KMUD at-
torney, Rick Fisher, has now provid-
ed the district with a court pro-
cedure letter. “There are only 11
hard-core delinquent accounts of 15
days past due and 11 more that have
been disconnected,” stated Ingram.
These can go to small claims court.
There are 157 accounts that^are only
30 days behind.
Ingram also reported that he had
some good news from the health
insurance company. They stated that
there was no increase in the rates for
the group policy at present. Ingram
also announced that an inspector for
the water development board would
be at the plant Wednesday, Jan-
uary 14, to see if KMUD is still using
the EPA monies correctly.

Safer Capsules
Washington State recently ban-
ned the sale of over-the-counter
medicine products in capsule
form. This action followed two
June deaths in Auburn,
Washington—deaths due to con-
sumption of over-the-counter
medicines that were laced with
cyanide.
According to a survey reported
in Drug Stora Nawa. 38 percent of
consumers favored the banning
of nonprescription drug products
in capsule form. And 44 percent
indicated that they favored the
sale of nonprescription drug
products in capsule form through
a pharmacist
Many individuals prefer cap-
sules to tablets, possibly because
they may be easier to swallow
when moistened. Yet the public is
concerned about capsules and
potential tampering The
producers of nonprescription
medicines may be even more
concerned and are doing
something about it. A recent
issue of American Medical News
describes the efforts of manufac-
turers to make capsules safer.
One technique involves the
congealing of capsule edges
following filling, thereby sealing
the capsule And some companies
are now sealing capsules with a
double-band at the point where
the two halves meet, a procedure
followed by one maker of
prescription medicines for
several decades.
