As * tax payer, I understand how taxes effect all of us today. I strive to
keep the taxes as low as possible.
Here are a few ways we (Commissioners Court) have helped the people of
Coleman County:
1. We set the 1984 tax rate the same as 1988.
2. We turned down a 18.00 increase on Vehicle license plates.
8. We removed all vehicles from the county tax roll, except business
vehicles.
. 4. We allowed a 10% exemption on all homestead property, with a
minimum of S6.000.00
5. We. now, have Coleman County free of any indebtedness.

entertainment, accomo-

COLLEGE STATION:
Consumers have enjoyed
plentiful supplies of meat
at reasonable prices for the
last few years, but 1984
will bring higher prices in
the supermarket, a live-
stock marketing specialist
says.
Americans use a smaller
percent of their income for
meat now than at any time
,n history, notes Dr. Ed-
ward Uvacek of the Texas
Agricultural Extension
Service, Texas A&M Uni-
versity System. However,
he adds, meat still accounts
for about 25 percent of
total food expenditures.
Since the boom in meat
supplies in the mid to late
’70s, prices have been good
for consumers. Meat prices
have risen less than the
overall rate of inflation
during the last four years,

To Seminar
COLLEGE STATION:
Coleman County treasurer
Barbara Freeman was one
of 210 county treasurers
and 25 deputies taking part
in the 12th Annual County
Treasurer’s Seminar at
Texas A&M University,
April 16-19.
Theme of the 1984 semi
nar was ‘‘Learning Today
for a Better Tomorrow’’.
The annual seminar is an
educational program of the
V. G. Young Institute of
County Government, a
part of the Texas Agricul-
tural Extension Service of
the Texas A&M Univer
sity System. The Institute
is designed to help Texas’
elected county officials be
come more effective public
servants.
Cooperating with the
Extension Service in con
ducting the seminar was
the County Treasurer’s
Association of Texas.
This year’s seminar fea
tured discussions on the
duties of the county treas
urer, basic budgetary pro-
cedures, basic accounting
principles, current micro-
computer applications and
use of the “Texas County
Treasurer’s Procedure
Manual.’’
In addition, professional
improvement sessions
dealth with cash manage-
ment, motivation, stress
management, written com
munications, personnel
management and the legis
lative process.
The annual seminar pro
vides 20 hours of study for
county treasurers as re
quired by House Bill 570
passed by the 68th Texas
legislature.
Mrs. Freeman was pre
sented a special certificate
at the final session for
successfully completing
the two and a half day edu
cational program.

Castle A Cooke Poods
Uvacek says. In 1984, how-
ever, meat prices are ex-
pected to increase faster
than inflation. Last year’s
improving economy will
begin to show its effect on
the meat market through
strengthened consumer
demand.
Much of the price in-
crease is expected to occur
in the spring and summer
months as beef and pork
supplies decline and this
demand increases. Last
year’s drought and rising
feed costs due to federal
programs such as the pay-
ment-in-kind (PIK) for
feedgrains have resulted in
reduced beef supplies. Hog
numbers are also being
reduced in an attempt to
recover from last year’s
excessive supplies which
depressed pork prices to
an unprofitable level for
producers and forced many
to market breeding herds,
Uvacek says.
Another federal pro-
gram, this one designed to
reduce dairy supplies, is
sending many culled dairy
cows irito the meat mar-
kets. However, Uvacek
says, these increased sup-
plies of hamburger and
ground beef will be more
than offset by reduced
supplies of whole-muscle
cuts such as steaks and
roasts.

USING CARPET SCRAPS ? *
Finally! A use for left over carpet scraps. Sew
enough of them together to cover the entire top
of your work bench. If you ever try this, you’ll
probably never go back to the plain-topped work
area. The carpeted surface keeps work with a
fine finish safe from mars and scratches when it
is placed on the bench. Small objects that used
to roll off the bench will now stay put. And this
treatment looks so great that it might prove to
be a good incentive to keep your entire shop in
better order than before.
You can cover part of the top of a sawhorse
with carpet scraps. Leave some plain surface,
just in case your project calls for a solid
sawhorse surface.
