This new form has met with the highest praise, approval, and the ovations of tax experts and tax-payers who have examined the system. It is now in operation for the first time here in College Station. / —DISTRACTIONS— (Continued from Page 2) times cloudy. It rains up there all the time too. Incidentally they are having an all college dance the 24th of June. This summer there are about a thousand Tessies in school but when the leaves start turning there will be about 3,000 of the gals that love Aggieland just waiting for that handsome Aggie. The procedure is simple in Denton. If you don’t know anyone just drop around Carrington’s drugstore and make the fact known. You will wind up at the College Club, whether planned or not. In the same direction but not quite so far, about 87 miles to Waco, there are about 1200 lassies that just love the “mean, tobacco chewing Aggies.” Baylor isn’t far but the mosquitoes bite, and they are awful tonight. Closer than any and the travel ling is good if you like hiking (I do mean walking) is Sam Houston State Teacher’s College at Hunts- LOUPOT’S A Little Place . . . ... A Big Saving! ville. Until the army moved in there were about 650 girls there that really went for uniforms. Well, the army has moved out again so don’t go non-reg. The girls have to be in at 12:00 and Are you tellin’ I! the closest place to dance is a fourteen mile hike from town. The girls are nice though. Ninety miles up the road through Caldwell, Cameron, and Temple is a little school called Mary Hardin- Baylor with over 500 dates for Aggies. They don’t have a football team so don’t go up there with the idea of discussing the chances of beating TU next fall. Since it has already been men tioned it might as well be said that the forty acres has some three thousand lassies that are surprisingly friendly to Aggies— - FUR5TORAOE MATTCPS 214 SOUTH MAIN BRYAN, TEXAS provided that football isn’t men tioned. There are any number of places to go and besides the city has thoughtfully provided artifi-^ cial moonlight so it doesn’t make^ any particular difference whether! the sky is cloudy or not if it isn’t raining and if you are broke the Capitol steps can always accom modate one more Aggie looking for a place to sleep. Southwestern University, locat ed in Georgetown, 95 miles north through Taylor, according to the latest report has a shortage of manpower to the ratio of about 3 to 1. Boy’s dorm is available for sleepy Aggies and C.Q. for the girls (who cares about anyone else) is 12:45. Through Austin south past the forty acres about 130 miles from Aggieland is Southwest Texas State Teacher’s College at San Marcos. Sayers Hall is the place to go if you don’t know anybody and if you already know someone over there—you tell us where to go. Then there is always a trickle (streams are flooded this year) of guys who amble up to Fort Worth or Big D and report that the weather is fine. According to the weather bureau the skies are clear down Houston way also. Last but not least is Heaven. It is located somewhere about 93 mil lion miles away and there are not any census figures available but they are all angels. Thumbing is fine, in fact, Mr. Jordan will give anyone a lift. It is reportedly a desert country (no local option) and the nearest tonk is 93 million miles away. College Bred: The flower of youth added to the dough of old age. Wamble Appointed Committee Head A. Cecil Wambhs, ’33, associate director in charge of cottonseed processing for the Cotton Research Committee of Texas, was made chairman of the board of directors of the Tri-State Cottonseed Oil Mill Superintendents’ Association at its annual meeting in Memphis, Tenn., June 7-8. Mr. Wamble, who is a past pres ident of the association, also was reelected chairman of its research committee for the seventh consec utive term. Civil Service Jobs Available for Typists Men and women interested in federal employment as a stenog rapher or typist are urged to se cure an application from the local civil service secretary at the Col lege Station postoffice, or from the local secretary at any first or second class post office. Applicants will be instructed when and where to report for the two and a half hour examination at the time they secure their ap plications. Persons who pass either the stenographer or typist tests will be eligible for appointment to fed eral jobs in Texas or in Washing ton, D. C. Appointments will be made in conformance with WMC regula tions. When Seaman Jones telephoned to inquire if the coast was clear, innocent hubby suggested he call the weather bureau. 'System Devised By • Local Officials Is - Proving Successful v Board of Equalization Is Meeting Now; New System Proving of Great Assistance In order to facilitate the func tion of the City of College Sta- * tion’s Board of Equalization and in order that accuracy and impar tial evaluation can be placed on taxable property within the city limits, a new form has been de vised and placed in operation by the mayor and city council, it was announced this week by city offi cials. The new form, which is known as a “Lot and Block Register” gives complete details concerning ^ the property, owner, location, size, value and improvements. A fea ture of this new form is, that in addition to giving a complete de- <- scription of the taxable property, a photograph of the property itself <"* is attached. The form is so ar ranged that it may be kept up to date, bringing the assessed value forward each year. This form, which has been re cently completed on the more than five hundred pieces of taxable real estate in the city, is a step for- ’ ward in municipal taxation, ac cording to experts who have seen it in operation, and other cities are expected to follow suit and adopt this new system devised here in College Station. Appearing with this article is a sample of the form used, having been photographed and engraved from the original now on file in * the city office in the Casey-Bur- gess building at the south gate business district. The form pictured herewith is the v record of the property of J. Lambert Molyneaux of 115 High lands Street, in the West Park Ad-. dition. The form was reproduced as a portion of this article with the permission of Mr. Molyneaux. This new system of tabulation was developed by the mayor and city council and the new city man ager, Lloyd Smith, and was imme diately placed in operation. It is being used for the first time at the present by the board of equal ization appointed at a recent meet- ♦ ing of the council and city offi- „ cials. This Board of Equalization is made up of Fred R. Brison, chairman, with Dr. R. L. Hunt and ^ T. E. Rattan as members. With the best interests of its citizenry always foremost in its actions, the city government of the City of College Station has developed a new system of tax equalization in this new form that in all probability will be adopted and widely used throughout the municipalities of the nation.
