This i:s in an article relating to the reappraisal program . The statem ent referred to is: “The people of the county voted for the reappraisal funds way back in 1952.” T hat is not correct. You will want the correct inform ation in order to m ake the correction in your next issue. The proposition to raise funds for property reappraisal was vot ed down in 1952. This was at the general election held November 4. 1952. The m ajority vote against it was 285. The result of this elec tion is on file and of record in the office of the county clerk at Volume 3, page 3. Records of Elec tions. Following this, the next election held in the county was May 21. 1954. The m atter of raising funds for this purpose was then voted i favorably by a m ajority of 1228 Annual Armistice Party Set Nov. 10 This year's A rm istice Day p arty .it the VFW hall N ovem ber 10 (S atu rd ay ) will be of in terest to all veterans and th eir dependents.

B rainard, who has h ad m any y ears’ experience as a vol un teer veteran's service officer, will give a short talk on th e re lationships betw een veterans and th eir kin and the federal and state and local benefits to ex-ser vice personnel. Tiie program will begin prom ptiy at 8 p m . and the lecture period will be followed by trying to answ er such ques tions as may be a-ked. A 'l v e te r ans and their adult dependents are invited. As these may overtax the hall children cannot be ad- m itted. A fter the questions and an sw er pet oJ, th e evening will b given over to the custom ary festivities, plus a few novelties, long the practice of veterans everyw here. This is of record in Volume 3. at page 19, Records of Elections. A levy of $8,600 was then m ade by the levying board on Ju ly 7, 1954. for the fiscal tax period en d ing Ju n e 30, 1955. This is of re cord Volume 9, Page 63, C« rnmis- sioners Jo u rn al On Ju ly 23. 1954, th e county entered into and Mgn- id a contract to have aerial photo graphs made as the first step in the project.
