Buddies who were disabled and for
the widows and children of those
who gave their lives fur our coun-
try.

COMMISSIONER'S COURT
Bastrop County
Dear Taxpayer
We, the members of the C ommissioners Court have t ailed an election
for the 4th day of November asking that you allow us to f alio* ate your
tax-dollar, We know that you will vote FOR this program if you under-
stand and know all the facts; and the first thing is that YOUR TAXES WILL
NOT BE RAISED.
Your tax of eighty cents for each one hundred dollar* valuation will
remain the same; we simply want to divide the eighty cents in a different
manner
Your eighty cents is now divided or allocated according to I jiw
passed . t the turn of the Century, more than fifty years ago I he divi-
sion or alien tion is as follows: (I ) fifteen cents to the Jury fund, (2)
twenty five c-'ts to the Permanent Improvement Fund, (3) fifteen cents
to the Road and Bridge Fund. (4) twenty-five cents to the General Fund
But fitty years ago is not today; and today the average County in
Texas does not rt'-ed fifteen cents for itg jury Fund because the automobile
arid good roads have reduced the time betwer-n thr ( mirthouse and home
And today twenty-five rent* is not needed in the Permanent Impro-
vement Funfl because the average County in I rxas has a fairly good Court-
house and jail which with normal repairs and up keep will serve thr County
for any immediate future
However, the average County in I exa* today does need more money
in its General Funfl because the County has assumed new services and res
ponsihilities not thought of fifty years ago. for instance, we now have ag
riculture and home-demonstration agents, we have health officers, veteran's
officials, and other services which you expect and deserve
Likewise, the average Courvty in I exas needs more money in its
Road and Bridge Fund because you must have good roads for your auto
mobiles, your school busses, and your rural mail carrier; you expect these
good roads and we intend to give them to you
The people of Texas recognized this difficulty, and in 1944, changed
the Constitution so that by an election the taxpayers of a County could
give the Commissioners Court permission to re-allot their tax-dollar; we ask
that you give us that permission
We want to allocate or divide the eighty cents as follows;
Jury Fund 05 (it was .15)
Permanent Improvement Fund .00 (it was .25)
General Fund 40 (it was .25)
Road and Bridge Fund y .35 (it was 15)
.80 .BO
Your tax-dollar is the same; we simply want to take it out of one
"pocket" where ii is not needed and place it in a "pocket" where it is
needed.
We ask you to vote for this allotment, and you may mark your
ballot as follows:
