Homestead May B6
Sold For Taxes
Many Texans have the mistak-
en impression that their home-
stead cannot be seized and sold
for delinquent taxes. In many
cases this idea has led to con-
siderable grief and monetary
loss which could have been
avoided. A homestead should be
rendered to tax assessors like
any other property and taxes
assessed against it should be
paid'as faithfully as those on
any other taxable property.
The deadline for rendering
property for taxation is April
1 so far as most city taxing
agencies are concerned. The
last date for rendering real and
personal property for state and
county taxes is April 30. State
taxes are collected by the
County Tax Collector.
Under the Texas Constitu-
tion each family is entitled to
claim one piece of real property
as their homestead. This claim
must be established by an affi-
davit filed with the county tax
assessor on or before April 30
each and every year. This affi-
davit must be filed by the own-
er himself. A lending agency
cannot do so even though it
may actually pay the annual
taxes thereon from a fund
created by the owner's monthly
installments.
When the homestead affida-
vit is properly filed the owner
becomes entitled to an exemp-
tion of States taxes up to the
value of $3000 or 200-acres in
the case of farm lands. This is
an exemption from payment
not a complete exemption from
rendition and assessment.
There is no similar exemption
with reference to city taxes or
to county taxes except in cer-
tain counties leving a special 30
cent farm-to-market anfl later-
al road tax.
The homestead claimed for
tax purposes need not be the
property which is actually oc-
cupied by the owner as his res-
idence. .
When the homestead affida-
vit is not filed by April 30 the
taxpayer loses his right to the
$3000 or 200-acre exemption
and consequently becomes lia-
ble for more taxes than he
would otherwise be required to
pay.
Property taxes are assessed
against the person who is the
record owner of each piece of
real and personal property on
the first day of January of

tog property during the ywr
should make sure that the
taxe9 for all previous years
have been paid. Otherwise the
purchaser may be forced to pay
hundreds of dollars in delin-
quent taxes to protect his pro-
perty. Unpaid taxes create a
lien against the property which
can be enforced regardless of
change of ownership.
One should also keep in mind
to make some arrangement for
the previous owner to pay his
pro-rata share of taxes for the
current year. Otherwise the
buyer may find it necessary to
pay the entire -taxes for that
year.
When taxes are not paid by
the deadline prescribed for the
particular taxing unit (city
county state or district) mon
etary penalties and interest are
added from month to month.
In addition the property be-
comes subject to seizure and
sale to satisfy the tax lien. This
lien applies to all property
whether homestead or not.

LIVESTOCK SURVEY
STARTING NOW
Postmaster Elmer Oyer an-
nounced today that Rural Mail
Carriers began distributing
June 1 1959 Livestock Survey
Cards to patrons on their routes
Thursday.
This mid-year livestock sur-
vey is the first of three which
your Post Office and U. S. Ag-
riculture Departments coop-
eratively make each year. The
June 1 survey provides basic in-
formation to the Texas Crop
and Livestock Reporting Ser-
vice in Austin for estimating
the 1959 calf crop; what the
spring pig crop actually num-
bered and a preview of farrow-
ing intentions for the fall sea-
son. Also poultrymen will get
informtaion on number of chick
ens raised during the spring.
Those chickens will be the com-
ing fall and winter's laying
flock.
To be sure our community is
well represented in this survey
Postmaster Cryer urges each
patron receiving a card to fill it
out and return to his mail box.

GRADUATION TIME
Well the old school year is about to come to a close. I
wish to extend my best wishes and congratulations to all of the
Graduates of the Bartlett Schools. I sincerely hope that each of
you have a happy and successful future.
While we are talking about graduatipn I know of no
finer and more lasting gift than an extension telephone in color
for their room. Extension telephones are only $1.00 a month
plus a small one time installation charge. We have ninevattract-
ive colors which you may select from. There is a one time
charge of only $10.00 for colored sets.
Just call our Business Office LA 7-3100 and we will be
glad to arrange for the installation.
MAKE IT' A "HOLIDAY" WEEKEND
WITH A LONG DISTANCE CALL
Last year many of us had a three-day weekend because
Decoration Day fell on Friday and it'll be the same way next
year when it comes on Monday. But this year the calendar
threw us a little curve and Decoration Day lands on Saturday.
This cuts out the chance for a three-day holiday which means
there's not enough time for an out-of-town trip to see friends
or family.
Since a holiday is a family get-together day several of
my friends have told me they still plan to "get together" with
a long distance call over the week-end.
"It's the next best thing to "visiting in person" one fellow
lold me "and we can make quite a few out-of-town calls for the
cost of traveling over the weekend."
It makes sense to me and I hope many of you will perk
up your Decoration Day weekend here in Bartlett with a long
distance call to friends or family.
As you know rates are lower after 6 p. m. weekdays and
all day Sunday. And when you call call station-to-station i
That way you'll be able to make three calls for about the price
of two. That's a real saving!
IT'S FUN TO PHONE
How often do we use the phone "just for the fun of it?"
Have you ever stopped t;o think how many times a telephone call
has been the beginning of a lasting friendship or a pleasant
evening 'with neighbors?
People often tell me of calls they made "just .to visit."
You've probably 'done the same; ' Chances ate good" you'll do it
again.
Why? That's easy. Because it's fun to phone. -
