All across Texas public hearings are
being held on tax rate increases by lo-
cal governments including cities,
school districts, hospital districts, wa-
ter districts, and counties. This was all
brought about with the passage of the
tax relief amendment loss year.
There will probably be several lo-
cal government entities that will have
to publish public notices concerning
raising local taxes or figuring ratios of
assessment. However, not all proper-
ty taxes will increase. Most will stay
about the same with a few taxes de-
creasing and a few increasing. The
main point on the tax relief amend-
ment and work done by Southwestern
Appraisal Company was to make all
values equal according to market val-
ue.
There will be a public meeting next
Tuesday, August 26 at 7:00 p.m. at
Reagan County Community Center,
with representatives of Southwes-
tern Appraisal Company present to ex-
plain the tax process. The local gov-
ernment entities are doing their part
to give everyone who is intereseted in
their taxes a chance to come and get
their two cents worth in or learn more
about the tax.

Letter to the Editor,
August 15, 1980
Dear Editor:
The Troopers of the Texas Department of Public
Safety need your help.
We are again asking motorists to be especially
careful during the Labor Day holiday. With a goal
of reducing the number of accidents on our streets
and highways, we ask that you consider publishing
this public service announcement for your news-
paper.
This public service announcement was produced
in-house by the DPS graphic section. As you see,
there are three various sizes from which to choose.
Labor Day is traditionally the last holiday of the
summer and a time that people attempt "one more
trip* before the routine of school and work begins.
Therefore, we could have a large number of ve-
hicles on the highways and this frequently leads to
an increased number of accidents.
We would appreciate use of the public service
announcement and any suggestions on safety that
you could ptovide your readers. Additionally, a
news release will be mailed to you prior to the holi-
day.
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Larry Todd
Assistant Public
Information Officer

BACK TO SUNDAY SCHOOL TIME
School children must report to their classes this
coming week, and we are hoping to have many
of you back in Sunday School and worship
services this Sunday. We have had a good
summer, and we are expecting God to really
bless us this fall. We have some of the best
Bible teachers you can find on our Sunday
School staff. If you are interested in study-
ing the whole Bible and not just a few selected
doctrinal passages, you will like our way of Bi-
ble Study.
Also, remember we are on Radio Station
KWGH every Sunday morning at 11 o'clock
and daily at 9 o'clock.
Rejoice,
J. B. Bitner, Jr.

but a clean filter
saves energy, money.
The purpose of a filter on your air conditioning or heating air blower is
to help catch dust and dirt before it can enter your unit. In time, the
filter will accumulate dust and dirt... if it gets clogged, it can't do the
cleaning job it’s supposed to and uses more electricity. To avoid dam-
age to your unit and to save energy and money, be sure filters are
clean. Permanent types can be cleaned according to the manufac-
turer’s instruction. Non-permanent types should be replaced. It is wise
to check filters every 30 days.
