(Star photo) ETAOIN SHRDLU by Wa$,L.EY R. RAMSEY Since this editor has a previous engagement for tomorrow night, and find it impossible -to attend the County Board's hearing on the new proposed budget, we would like to take this opportunity to offer our objections to the tax rate proposed for the coming year. Under present economic circum- stances, we think the millage rate is toor high. We have definite reasons for Thinking thusly, .beyond .the reason that, it will further pinch a flat pocketbook to pay the ante. First off, we think that an in- ' crease in tax to be paid by a rate uf 39.2%, in one year is too great. We are seeking new industry in Gulf County and such drastic tax hikes is tbh best way in the world to -keep from getting tbem-.. *4 Before you object too strenuous- ly over our percentages, let -us prove our figures.' First the hike in valuation of taxable property has hiked our tax bill the equivalent of one and a half mills. The -mill value has been hiked $1,361.60 on each'mill. Mul- tiply this by the proposed 16 mill increase (disregarding the other six-tenths nmill increase) and you come up with the figure of $21,- 783.60-or at the present mill value -one and a half mills. Add this to the 3.6 .mill increase and you have an increase of 5.1 mills. Last year's mileage rate was set at 13. Simple division will show you that the millage rate has been hiked 39.2 .percent. This means that for every.$1.-00 paid in taxes last year, you will now have to pay $1.392 this year. DECREASING REVENUES The 'decrease in revenues suf- fered by the county board of $17,- 542.00 came through the reduction in such things as tourist spending in the State-one of our biggest sources 'of revenue. This reflects a slack of business for last year- a slack that was also forcibly felt in Gulf County. We say that its, unwise to in- crease taxes by such a percentage in the face of these things. We realize-and our past editor- ials will bear us out-that Gulf County and Florida citizens get by light on taxes. But it is not fair to make the vast minority bear the heavy 'load of taxes, while the most of the citizens get by free of charge. We believe in paying our own way, but we balk at paying the way of someone else who bene- fits as much or more than we do from these taxes. ECONO Y NEEDED We .believe it is imperative that the County Commission stu&y the tentative .budget further and cut out the frills. That old bugagoo, the road and 'bridge fund, is about $30,000.00 too heavy. :Some of the other funds are correspondingly too high. Some of the funds are fixed and can nei- ther be decreased or increased. But those funds that can bb regulated should be cut to the bone. We understand that the road and bridge fund contains money for .some paving the county .plans to do with its own labor and devices. This has been tried before and has proven unsatisfactory. We 'trust' that the Commission will use a very sharp "blue pencil" on their proposed budget.

(Star photo) _- *1_ I , County Board Given Time To Answer Writ The Gulf County -Commissioners were given an extension of 13 days to either redistriLt the coun ty according to population or to -ap pear before Judge W, L. Fitzpatrick and show cause why they haven't The circuit judge granted the extension Friday, .which had ori- ginally been set .as the deadline for some action to be taken on the re districting of the county. Fitzpatrick told The Star that the extension was granted to give the Commission more time to reach a decision. He said that such exten sions were the rule rather than the exception in such cases. A petition was filed three weeks ago 'by Welsey R. Ramsey, publish- er of The Star, asking that the commission be compelled to redis- trict the county 'according to state requirements. An alternate writ of mandamus - was issued by the judge, ordering the commissioners to make some formal action. The commissioners previously had rejected a redistricting plan submitted by a special committee composed of R. H. Ellzey, Frank Pate, 'Chuck Gibson, Dave Gaskin, J. B. Harris and Ed Banidjough. The Board will more than likely act on the matter 'at their regular meeting Tuesday, August 8. The I Judge's extension gives the Board until August 10 to comply with the order, which will give the County Attorney, David C. Gaskin, tao days to file his motion that the County has complied with the writ. It will then be for the court to de- cide if the writ ihas, indeed, been complied with. NEIL POITEVINT IS . OPERATED ONIN PENS. Neil Poitevint, son of Mr. and Mrs. T. 0. Poltevint, formerly of Port St. Joe and now of Wewahit- chka, underwent surgery on both legs July 21 in the Crippled Chil- aren's Convalescent Home in Pen- sacola. He is expected to get out of the hospital before school starts. All his friends are urged to write to him and help cheer him up. * || . county bers BuageH nearing To Hear Any Objections To New Budget The Gulf County Board of Com- missioners will hold a 'hearing tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m. Port St. Joe time to hear objections o the tentative county budget for the coming fiscal year. A copy of this proposed budget can be found in a legal advertise- ment in this issue of The Star on page six. The County has come up with a tentative budget for the 196i-62 fiscal year which will require 16.3 mills to finance. This is a boost of 3.6 'mills over the present budget. Part of the increase in millage is due to a decrease in other funds received by the county from state sources. These funds come from race -track taxes, gasoline taxes, etc. Tax Collector Reminds Boat Owners It's Time To Register for Another Year Registration and re-registration of all pleasure boats of over 10 ,horsepower began Tuesday in Tax Collector Harland Pridgeon's office in the Gulf County courthouse at Wewahitchka.

In City Police Patrol Car Radio-Telephone Is Being Installed Now Hospital To Be Dedicated On August 20 The 'City Commission was noti- fled Tuesday night at their regular meeting by the St. Joseph Tele- phone and Telegraph Company that equipment for the City's radio-tele- phone system had arrived and was now in the process to being Install- ed. The equipment was ordered about a year ago for installation of radio-telephone service in the Po- 'lice Department patrol car. Since the original order was -placed by the St. Joseph Telephone and Telegraph Company, newer and better equipment has been put on the market and the company then changed its order for the newer equipment. This has caused most of the year's delay for installing the radio-telephone. Part of the de- lay was due to having to obtain a permit from the Federal' Communi- cations Commission to operate the radio system. The new telephone will enable those wishing to call the police de- partment to dial, and talk directly to the police partol car just like dialing an ordinary telephone. In checking with Howard Mc- Kinnon, telephone company super intendent, Wednesday, it w as learned that 'the co npany is trying to get the new ,facilpTy into opera- tion by the end of this week. Mc- Kinnon said that initiation of the service will depend .on a represen- tative of the company furnishing the equipment, 'arriving in Port St. Joe this week and getting the ap- paratus into operation. McKinnoa said the phone company would try to give the radio telephone in the police patrol car the same tele- phone number as that now in the directory for the police department. It is now uncertain as to what the number will be. DEDICATION OF HOSPITAL Mayor pro-tem I. C. Nedley an- nounced to the City Commission Tuesday night that the dedication and open house for the new enlarg- ed Municipal Hospital has been definitely set now for Sunday, Au- gust 20 beginning -at 2:30 rpm. Nedley said that work on the hospital enlargement was virtually finished 'and new equipment for the hospital was arriving daily. Work on the hospital job was be- gun a year ago and is costing in the neighborhood of $450,000.00. Part of the money is a direct grant from the Federal -government from Hill-Burton Funds. The City float- ed a bond issue to pay their por- tion of the cost-approximately half of the expansion cost. The new construction more than doubles the size of the hospital in size 'and services and increases its bed capacity from 23 to 50 beds. The new hospital is completely s - i the crowding of resdiential areas by .this practice and the Commis- sion decided to continue with this precedent. A street light was requested for the East end of 10th Street near the Florida Power Power Corpor- ation property by residents living on the street. The light was grant- ed by the board.

If disease spots show up on leaves of the plants, spray once a week with zineb or maneb. This will prevent the healthy plants from getting infected. In warm weather keep an eye out for thrips and chewing in- sects. And for safety sake apply a wekely dust of chlordane of diel- drin to control the varmints. In making the applications follow the manufacturers' directions carefully. When blossoms begin to show don't be too hasty cutting them for home use. Allow at least two lower florets to open fully before cutting *the spikes. Gladiolus will last about a week in the home. For this long lasting .beauty, keep the vases clean and free of bacterial slime. Use one- quarter teaspoon -of Clorox or sim- ilar bleach in the water to control the bacteria. Also, change the water in the vase every third day and cut off- an inch or more of the base of the stems at that time. For additional information, ask your county agent for Circular 188, Gladiolus For The Home Gar- dener.
