Cordele Breezes
, By COON HUNTER.
We are sorry to report the past-
ing of Mrs! Laura Hardy of Vic-
toria, mother of Hdinp Hardy of
I
Cordele. 'She lmd spent much of
her time In this community for sev-
eral years. Our sympathies go to
the family. •
fr. aud Mrs. Ferrell Watson
(lave been visiting in the home of
parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. L.
Wfttson of Cordele. Ferrell has
returned to his work in the oil
fields. 1 [
Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Larkin,
Kathy and Mrs. J. W. Larkin
spent Sunday in Freeport, visiting
his sister, Mrs. Edwin Hale aud
family. .
Anton Kubenka is having a
''nedv water well drilled at his gin
in Cordele. There has been a lot
of trouble with wells drying up
here lately. ..
Fred Kauak of^dhe 'v/Henderson
rice farm narrowly, leaped serious
injury when an engine he wap
working on caught flrg' niid set his
clothes and hands aftfe. He lumped
into a pit to extinguish the flames.
SherifT Lewis VVatson of Edna
was visiting in/Cordele one day
last week. HeXvas returning to Ed-
na from the/Tartu in this locality.
Ivan Fepne| of Upper Cordele
is baving/a large bam
built at
his ranch. ,-Tfds should add much
to the convenience of the ranch.
Mr. and Mrq. P. F. Kubecka and
ofbfers left for New York and
places across the pond for a couple
of months vacation trip.
Several from Cordele have been
attending the revival meeting at
Morales this week.
In England it’s Winnie and his
cigar; in Missouri it’s Truman and
his stubborness, but in Jackson
County it’s Johnny Mack and his
pipe. He was in Cordele hauling
cattle for Rolar Watson Tuesday
of this week.
Highway Patrolmen Bob Wil-
banks and Ed Wilson were in the
Free State visiting one day last
week. Enjoyed a trip with them
over the district Sunday night.
In this locality we don’t need
no 5c cigars, nor United Nations
delegates. What' we need is a
good rain. /
Looking hack over the 300% in-
crease in" valuations that these
noted ^experts put on our property,
I got7 to thinking about my old
hound dog. If them dad-blamed
birds knowed how much joy we get
out of following them (I mean fol-
lowing the hounds,) they really
would have a field day putting or
trying to set a value high enough
to take the fun out of owning them,
that is, owning the hounds.

The law now provides that taxes collected for four constitutional
funds supporting the county government may be so re-allocated
from time to time as tfie needs of the county government require
and to meet changing 'conditions. At the present time, the tax,
levied'for these funds is as follows:. General Fund, Twenty-five
Cents; Permanent Improvement Fund, Eight Cents; Jury Fund, One
Cent; Road and Bridge Fund, Fifteen Cents per each $100 of prop-
erty. •
v. * * x .. ; '
The law also fixes a maximum rate for such funds as follows:
(1) General Fund, Twenty-five C^nts; (2) Permanent Improvement
V j
■;k

Fund, Twenty-Five Cents; (3) Jury Fund, Fifteen Cents; (4) Road
and Bridge Fund, Fifteen Cents, ai/otal of eighty (80) Cents.
H
The law, therefore, permits these four rates to be changed or
rather re-allocatpd, increasing some ^nd lowering some, so loiig as the
over-all total is not more than eighty (80c) cents. Your Commis-
sioners’ Court believes it Wise to have a 5c Jury maximum, even
though only lc ife now levied; likev^is^ to have a 15c permanent im-
y ~prov^ment maximum even though on 1 y 8c was levied last year. This
would leave a margin to care for ftture needs. Now as to the otfier
funds (General Fund and Road an<J Bridge Fund) in order to meet
the cost of normal administration, whiph^have gone up considerably
—• recent years, and also to carry o(f~the--*-euuty-JiDspital authorized
by a vote of the people, your Court deems it wise to use the twenty
cents taken from the other funds and place ten cents on the General
Fund and ten cents on the Road and. Bridge Fund.
The proposed re-allocation woW therefore fix the maximum for
each fund as follows: (1) Generaf Filnd, thirty-five cents; (2) Per-
manent Improvement Fund, fifteen cents'; |(3) Jury Fund, five cents;
(4) Road and Bridge Fund, twenty-five ce^ts, making the same over-
all total of eighty (80c) cents. A special l^vy of fifteen cents for road
