Mayor Charles M. Isenhower more metropolitan cen-

Jean Pierson, and Gerald Rice: fine Places to live with the
^ years of the state's greatest
growth yet to come—with near-
ly all of that growth coming
in the cities of Texas, and
WHEREAS: It has now be-
come critically apparent that
the rapidly expanding needs of
Texas cities call for additional
sources of revenue at the local
level to meet the multiplying
demands for growth, expansion,
arid capital improvements, and
WHEREAS: The financial
needs of Texas cities cannot
any longer be met solely
through the non - discretionary
reliance on the ad valorem pro-
perty tax, and
WHEREAS: It is the desire
of Texas cities to solve their
firiancial problems at the local
level rather than turning more
and more to the state and fed-
eral governments.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it re-
soled that the City Council
by this resolution aggressively
supports improvements in state
laws that will permit cities to
broaden their tax base and de-
velop a sound municipal reve-
nue policy from which ample
revenues can be produced with
reasonable equity, reliable
stability, and desirable econo-
my of administration and col-
lection. and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLV-
ED, that signed copies of this
resolution be sent to the Gov-
«aner of Texas, the Lieutenant
Governor, the Speaker of the
House, and all local legislators

their annual Tuberculosis Christ-
mas Seal Sale this week when

Mail Carriers Will
leave Livestock Cards
Rural mail carriers from the
Clifton Post Office will leave
some livestock survey cards
along their routes beginning
on Monday, November 21.
"Information reported on
those cards is used to set the
yearly inventory of livestock
and poultry on Texas farms,"
Postmaster Robert Baldridge
Jr. explained.
Rural carriers will distribute
the cards at random in boxes
along their routes.
“That distribution means
that not every box will get a
card,” Postmaster Baldridge
pointed out. ‘Tor that reason
it is important for everyone
who gets a card to return it
filled 5dt so that the united
States Department of Agricul-
ture can get a true sample of
the state's livestock holdings.”
Carriers to assist with the
survey are John Bekken, Route
1; Clifford Jenson, Route 2; Bob
Hauke, Star Route 1; and Al-
Facts and figures secured in
this survey are the basis for
Texas and national pig crop re-
ports and inventories of live-
stock and poultry on farms, as
of the first of the year. Stock-
men and many other persons
use this information in making
business decisions.
Survey results will be widely
distributed through Texas Crop
