Tax office to close early Monday
available at local stores on Wed-
nesday evening and placed in the
mail to subscribers on Thursday
morning as usual.
The office will be open for busi-
ness on Monday, December 31 un-
til 5:00 p.m. to serve gift, photo
developing, printing and office
supply customers.
Shackelford County taxpayers
are reminded that they must may
their 1990 property taxes by De-
cember 31 if they want to deduct
them from their 1990 income tax
returns.
Since December 31 falls on
Monday, the Shackelford County
Appraisal District office plans to
be open, although their official
holiday schedule calls for the of-
fice to be closed that day.
The office doors will be closed
at 2:00 p.m. on December 31 in
order that appraisal district em-
ployees can finish the lengthy
year-end reports by a "reasonable
hour." Any payments brought
after that time can not be ac-
cepted.
"The post office will be open for
regular hours on New Year's Eve,
so taxpayers who miss coming by
in person can mail their checks
and still have their receipts dated
December 31," said Betty Viertel,
chief appraiser.
The post office will be open un-
til 4:30 p.m. Monday and any
payments received through the
mail that are postmarked on or
before the 31st will have receipts
issued as of the date of the post-
mark.
According to Viertel, 1990
taxes are not past due until after
January 31,1991, but they have to
be paid prior to the end of the
year in order to deduct them off
this year's income tax returns.
FmHA lending figures reported
We've sincerely enjoyed serving you in the past
year, and we're looking forward to sharing the
bright future ahead. All the Best in '91!

BANK

Member FDIC
More than 3,958 loans and
grants were made for a total of
$306,240,000 in Texas for farming,
rural residences, community facil-
ities, and business development
during fiscal year 1990 by the
Farmers Home Administration
(FmHA), according to Neal Sox
Johnson, FmHA State Director
for Texas.
Farm lending amounted to
$196,310,260 through 2,692 loans.
The bulk of these loans went for
short-term operating purposes —
2,435 loans for $173,511,840. An
additional 130 loans amounting to
$17,351,590 went to buy or en-
large farms or make major im-
provements in them. Loans also
were made to 114 farmers and
ranchers who suffered losses due
to natural disasters. These loans
amounted to $5,025,020. Funds
also were made available for soil
and water loans, Indian land ac-
quisition, and state mediation pro-
grams.
"Our farm loans are taking on a
new character," said Johnson.
"Once again the percentage of
farm loans made by private
lenders with an FmHA guarantee
has increased. In addition, we
have assisted a large number of
minority and socially disadvan-
tigpd borrowers through our ['
outreach program and through
the limited resource program."
Under the rural housing pro-
gram,. lending amounted to more
than $67,568,719 through 1,257
loans and grants. Most of these
loans provided single family
homes for low-income families
who otherwise could not have
purchased a home. Nearly 826
single family housing loans were
made for $27,835,470. An addi-
tional $37,205,039 was made
available for rental housing which
provided more than 866 apart-
ments for rural residents, in-
cluding 637 for migrant farm
workers. The agency's housing
funds also provided housing
repairs, site development and the
preservation of homes in rural
areas.
In the community facilities pro-
gram, 58 loans and grants for
$26,014,500 were made for water
and waste disposal systems. An
additional five loans for
$1,686,800 were made for other
community facilities, such as
medical facilities, fire and rescue
stations, libraries, and community
buildings. Funds also were used
for rural development loans and
grants, watershed and flood
prevention loans, and resource
conservation and development
loans.
In the business and industry
program, eight loans were made
for $15,225,000, including loans
made under programs recently
enacted to assist businesses
which suffered economic losses as
a result of natural disasters. The
B&I program operates primarily
through loans guarantees with
banks providing loans and FmHA
serving as a guarantor. "This
keeps federal outlays at a mini-
mum and makes private lenders
an integral part of rural develop-
ment," Johnson said.
"This four-phase program pro
vides a well-rounded package of
assistance for rural citizens," said
Johnson. "Farm loans supplement
credit from local lenders. Housing
loans provide homes for low-in-
come families. Community facility
loans permit communities to pro-
vide clean water, efficient waste
disposal systems, and other
amenities for their citizens, and
the B&I program provides off-
farm employment opportunities."
