Salaries Laid by
La fcalie Lounty
(A Correction)
By: B. Wildenthal. Jr.
Sheriff, Tax Assessor and Collector
An article published in the August
11th issue of the Cotulla Record, pur-
portedly gave tacts about salaries and
fees of several county officials, but
for some reason, the information was
omitted as to some of the offices.
Due to me uncertainties which the
article raised, and because a number
of tax payers of the County have
asked me for a fuller statement of
facts, 1 am giving the following in-
formation as to Ex-Officio salaries
and fees:
R. O. Gouger, District Clerk, $110.
pti jionth plus fees, which fees will
dot exceed the amount allowed by
y/ law for additional office expense and
assistants.
M. V. Davis, County Judge, $150.00
* per month, plus fees which are very
trivai.
Richard L. Dobie, Jr. Service Offi-
cer, $135.00 pei month.
Mrs. A. U. Knaggs, County Clerk,
$200.00 per month, also County pays
for the recording of Veterans dis-
.chaiges, certified copies of discharg-
es and birth certificates and for re-
cording County right-of-way deeds.
In audition this office receives fees
lor recording all instruments, such as
deeds, deeds of trust, chattel mort-
gages, etc.
George S. Knaggs, County Road
Superintendent (resigned June 1950)
$175.00 per month with conveyance
furnished.
Mrs. R. F. Knaggs, County School
Sftperibtendent, $3900 per year.
H. P. Gaddis, County Treasurer,
.$2000.00 annually.
B. Wildenthal, Jr. Sheriff, Tax As-
sessor and Collector, $350.00 per
month. The taxpayer should know—
a fact that the article of August 11
did not point out—is that all of the
expenses of my office, including my
own salary as well as that of all my
deputies, is being paid from the fees
which my office is earning. When the
matter of setting salaries was dis-
cussed by the Commissioners Court,
I not only suggested a figure less
than the law allowed, but also gave
assurance that the fees of office \yould
pay the expenses, and there would be
Bo expense to the County. 1 have
made this promise good.
John N. Hodges, Jr., County Attor-
ney, $125.00 per month, plus fees
earned by this office and is always
less than allowed by law.
Tobe Eldridge, Case Worker, $90.00
per month.
Dr. Clyde P. Myers, County Health
Officer, $60.00 per month.
County Commissioners, $75.00 per
month each.
John Wildenthal, Justice of the
Peace, $100.00 per month plus fees,
but salary and fees not to exceed
$146.00 per month. This office paid
to the county in 1949 an excess of
$1187.11, after paying salary and all
expenses of office.

HIGH IN TEXAS COUNTIES
The Pan American Zebu Associa-
tion has announced the affiliation of
several outstanding Zebu cattle herds
in the western states. A five thous-
and mile appraisal tour, led by Dr.
Wm. States Jacobs, President of the
Association, was concluded early in
August, and resulted in the reclassi-
fication of some of the better known
Brahman cattle herds in California
and Arizona.
The Zebu Association maintains a
herd legistry for top quality Brah-
man cattle, and it’s reclassification
program is serving to identify Ze-
bus of the Indu-Brazil breed. The
Indu-Brazil represents a fusion be-
tween Indian Gyr and Guzerath blood,
and it is closely associated with ‘the
more outstanding Brahman and Zebu
cattle in North America. Classifica-
tion with the PAZA represents inter-
national recognition of advanced and
improved Zebu purebred animals of a
breed type, which is presently most
influential in the development of
Brahman beef animals.

that would qualify for identification
with the Zebu Association’s herd reg-
istry.
The officials of the Pan American
Zebu Association were very well im-
pressed by the quality of the Brahman
herds which they encountered in Ari-
zona and California. Dr. Jacobs, a
renowned Brahman breeder of 25
years experience, indicated, “that
some of the best Brahman cattle in
the United St.tes can now be fiund
in purebred herds in the far west.”
He also inferred that the quality of
these lii.ds stand to reflect an in-
. creasing influence upon the expan-
sion of Zebu cattle in the west.

Washington, Aug. 16—The Army's
i expected call for 50,000 men in Nov-
i ember will probably be followed by
| similar monthly draft quotas for some
time to maintain an even flow of
men into uniform, it was disclosed
Wednesday.
While emphasizing that the arm-
ed forces have not yet made any re-
quests for men beyond the 100,000
schedule for induction in September
and October, top draft sources said
there is no reason to believe calls
will taper off after November.
They said the selective service
machinery is geared to maintain a
smooth flow of men from civilian to
military life to meet the manpower
need of the Korean war and the gen-
eral rearmament program.
