Renamed Director
01 Houston Bank
The Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve, System has
announced that R. M. Buckley,
president arid director of‘Has-
ten, Inc.. Silsbee, has been re-
ap po in tc/i as a director of the
Houston Branch, Federal Re-
serve Bank of Dallas, for a 3-
year term beginning Jan. 1. He
has. been on the Houston
Branch. Board since May If),
19li7.
The primary function of the
Federal Reserve System is to
regulate the flow of,money and
credit ir. the public .interest by
promoting orderly economic
growth and stability in the val-
ue of money. Other important
functions include the perform-
ance of essential services for
the Drifted States Government
the public, and the member
hanks: such as acting as fiscal
agents, custodians, and deposi-
taries for the United States
Treasury and other govern-
mental agencies, the furnishing
cl currency for public circula-
tion, the facilitating of check
clearance and collection, the
effecting of telegraphic trans-
fer of funds, and the handling
of member bank reserve ac-
counts.
The management of the Fed-
eral Reser\ c System is headed
by the seven-man Board of
Governors located in W a c h -

Ford belonging “to Melvin Riv-
ers was taken from the Wood-
row Baptist Church parking
lot during the service. Rivers
discovered the theft after the
service and reported 'immedi-
ately to the Silsbee Police.
The car was found, undam-
aged, parked on the Baby Gal-
vez Road about 9 p. m. Sun-
day.
Monday night, between 5 and
9 p. m., a 1968 Buick belong-
ing to L. G. Jordan, was taken
from his driveway 670 North
10!h Street. Jordan reported
the theft at 9 p. m. and the car
was found at 9:20 p. m. parked
or. North Railroad Street. Like
most of the others, it was un-
damaged.
Neither of the owners were
sure of the mileage driven'
while the cars were missing.
According to the police re-
ports in both cases, keys had
been le/t in the ignition when
thq cars were parked. Chief
Blood said that every car stol-
en in the past three months
had keys left in the ignation
lock, “which is an open invi-
tation to joy. riders.”
He pointed out that the sim-
ple precaution of removing
keys and locking cars when
they are parked would cancel
most of the vehicle thefts piev-
alcnt in Silsbee.
Most of the facts in the ear
theft cast's point to “joy 'rid-
ing” minors rather than an or-
ganized theft ring. Few eases
have been found as to the iden-
tity of the thiefs. although some
point to the fact that they
might also be involved in shop-
lilting. according to Blood.

tiff’s was recessed on Sept. 30,

ed ‘ratio of assessment” applied
by defendants in arriving at
such ‘purported’ final assess-

The petition requests that

of plaintiffs’ properties or any
other properties subject to tax-
ation by Hardin County for the
year 1968; completing, approv-
ing or certifying the tax rolls

cerning totaPahd assessed val-

1968 tax year, the board alleg-

would be notified at a later

the tax rolls were closed. The
petition further states that
Plaintiffs were never -notified

out ever having furnished
