its “homy” fire place opens out
on an attractive concrete porch.

dining room and this latter room
opens into an ideal kitchen, with
built in cabinets that conceal all
utensils and necessities of a
kitchen. The cabinet proper has
a tile covering for drainage etc.

If every Gazette reader, who
is a cigarette smoker, will buy
Chesterfield cigarettes, the
manufacturers will continue to
use the Gazette as an advertis-

patronage to the makers of

assist in making your home-town

Austin, July 27.—A reduction
of 15 cents was ordered in the
state’s advalorem tax rate today
by the state automatic tax board.
The rate was reduced from the
constitutional maximum of 77

in the tax for school purposes
reduced from 35 cents to 20 cents.
The general fund rate was left

The tax board is composed of
Governor James V. Allred,
Comptroller George Sheppard

In an explanatory statement
the board called attention to the
fact that a rate of 20 cents in the

$17.50 for each scholastic. The
