ter that and Timmis displayed
remarkable strength and stam-
ina to survive the sinking.
He never again heard from
his friend, however.
TIMMIS WROTE about how
difficult it was for him to tell
Moodie’s mother and sister
about Ralph’s death.
The Moodie family resided in
that large two-story home now
owned by Billy Turner. Rich-
ard and his family remain in
the sprawling Timmis home
place that is located only a few
doors west of the Turner house.
Richard’s father and Moodie
were cotten brokers, friends
and neighbors, and they were
on their way to England on
business when their transport-
ation was shot out from under
them by the German sub. The
elder Timmis’ description of
. the entire ordeal was well writ-
ten and explained in detail the
horrors of the sinking of a pas-
senger ship on the high seas.
I’m sure Richard and his
family will cherish owning the
old newspaper clipping.
SPRING HAS sprung and it’s
about time to haul out that ol’
lawnmower.
This is not good news for me.
Oh, I love spring and summer,
but mowing the lawn just isn’t
my idea of a good time. I’d
much rather play golf.
Making the mowing chore
even worse for me is when that
machine’s motor won’t start.
My old mower’s seen its best
years, so I’ve been forced to
pull the starter, fiddle with the
various gizmos, pull on the
starter again and still the darn
thing wouldn’t turn over.
Nothing in the world is more
frustrating.
But, alas, I’ve eased my pain
a bit this season at least. Tim
King sold me a new mowing
machine, so perhaps that
dreaded summertime chore
will seem somewhat easier.

Tax
(Continued from page 1)
“We intend to have a complete
breakdown of the appraisal and col-
lection duties and personnel by
April 20 so we can get a clear idea
what the separate costs are,”
Zwinggi said.
She added that the cost and per-
sonnel breakdown was necessary
for her to estimate the budget her
office would need for the coming
year. Sherman also needs the same
figures in order to set his budget.
“The things we really need to fig-
ure right now are how to split the
telephone system so Bill’s girls
aren’t having to answer questions
about collections and my girls won’t
have to answer questions about ap-
praisals. Also we need to figure of-
fice supplies, utilities and other
necessary expenses, ” Zwinggi said.
The April 20 target date was set in
order to eliminate confusion with ।
the completion of new appraisals .1
and the mailing of reappraisal no-
tices by May 2.
Zwinggi said she and Sherman in-
tend to complete the duty transfer
by Aug. 1 so that by Oct. 1 — when
collection of taxes for the coming
year begins — everything will be
ironed out.

Exemptions (Continued from page 1)
The amount of a veteran’s exemption is based on his or her per-
centage of service-connected disability and can range from $1,500 to
$3,000.
Those eligible for the exemptions are:
■ A disabled veteran.
■ The surviving spouse of a deceased disabled veteran as long as
the spouse remains unmarried
■ A surving minor child of a deceased disabled veteran if the
verteran’s spouse is also deceased and if the child is both under 18
and unmarried
■ A surviving spouse of a person killed while on active duty
regardless whether the spouse is remarried at application time.
■ A surviving minor child of a person killed while on active duty as
long as the child is under 18 and unmarried.
“Any eligible person who has not received this exemption before,
must apply by May 2,” Sherman said. “But, if you received the
exemption in 1987, you do not need to reapply in 1988. ”
The veteran exemption can be claimed only on one piece of prop-
erty, such as a home, car or any other taxable item the applicant
owned on January 1.
An applicant may be required to provide proof of the service-
connected disability, such as documentation from the Veterans Ad-
ministration or the branch of the armed services in which the
veteran served. Depending on the applicant, proof of marriage,
death or age may also be required.
Landowners can apply for a special lower valuation on their land,
based on what it will produce rather than what it would sell for on the
open market, Sherman said.
The Texas Constitution authorizes two types of tax exemptions for
agricultural-use land: the l-d-l exemption, often known as the open-
space land valuation, and the 1-d exemption, known as the ag-use
valuation.
However, the requirements for application and for qualification of
both the land use and the owner are different for the two types of
appraisal, Sherman said.
Most property owners apply for the l-d-l valuation. To qualify, the
land must be used for agriculture, timber growth or as an ecological
laboratory. The form of valuation does not restrict ownership to
individuals and does not require agriculture to be the owner’s pri-
mary business.
However, this form of special valuation requires that the land is
used for a qualifying agricultural purpose to the degree of intensity
generally accepted in the area. The chief appraiser, who is respon-
sible for approving the application, must determine that the land has
been devoted principally to a qualifying use for at least five of the
preceding seven years.
Annual application for the l-d-l valuation is not required. How-
ever, the chief appraiser may request a new application to confirm
current qualification for the special valuation.
On the other hand, a 1-d valuation requires; annual application; an
individual must own the land—as opposed toh corporation, partner-
ship, agency or organization; the land must have been used for
agricultural purposes for at least three years prior to the year of
application; and the owner’s primary occupation and source of
income must be the land’s agricultural business.
In addition, Sherman said landowners must be aware that state
law provides specific penalties for taking qualified land out of
agricultural production.
If a landowner with a 1-d valuation sells the property or changes
the land’s use to one that does not qualify for the productivity valu-
ation, a “rollback” tax will be assessed for the three tax years before
the sale or change of use took place.
For land with a l-d-l valuation, a rollback tax is triggered only by
changing the nature of the land’s use. However, under l-d-l, the
rollback period covers the previous five years before the change in
the land’s use occurred.
In either case, the rollback tax amount is calculated as the differ-
ence between taxes paid under the exemption and the taxes that
would have been paid if the land had been put on the tax roll at
market value, Sherman said.
Landowners also need be aware they must apply for the pro-
ductivity valuation with each appraisal district in which they own
land, which would arise if the owner’s land is located in two different
counties. 9 "
Sherman added that any property owners with questions about
special tax exemptions and land-use valuations should contact the
Cooke County Appraisal District office by either going by at 200 W.
California or calling 665-7651.
