D. Roosevelt signed the patent on

So far I have not heard a

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS
L eV er to th e E d itor:
D ear Sir:
Your at tention is called to an
erroneous statem ent of fadt in an
editorial :ippearing in you r issue
of Octobeir 25. 1956. 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.
M. S. 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. This contract is of re
cord in the office of the county
clerk in Volume 7, page 408, Con
tracts.
The first funds received from
the reappraisal levy was $471.00
on October 31, 1954. At th e end
of the fiscal year, Ju n e 30, 1955,
th e am ount collected was $7.369.-
39. D uring th a t tim e $5.915.000
was paid out of th e fund for costs
of reappraisal w ork done. These
figures are of record in the office
of the county tre a su re r’s G eneral
County Ledger.
