THE BATTALION Page 3.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1977
Texas A&M University
By STEVE MAYER
A difference of approximately
900,000 in property assessment
allies has prompted Don R. Dale,
esident of Dondaco Inc., to file
it against the A&M Consolidated
oard of Equalization. Dale is a
rmer College Station city coun-
ilman.
The suit, filed last Thursday,_
claims the board made an unfair as
sessment of property he owns in the
Consolidated school district.
Dale said the property, Pooh’s
Park and several tracts on Holleman
Drive, should be assessed at
$441,956. The equalization board
placed the value at $1,342,850.
The College Station Tax As
sessor s Office assesses it at approx--
me for a long time.”
Charles spent Sunday at the
ranch of Anne Armstrong, former
ambassador to Great Britain.
Monday, the prince went on a tour
of the Johnson Space Center in
Houston.
campus
activities
imately $422,000. However, a
spokesman for the office said the
Dale property has not been reap
praised since 1975.
The $1,342,850 figure given by
the A&M Consolidated tax office
and the equalization hoard was a re
sult of a reappraisal of all properties
in College Station during the past
year, the spokesman said.
The suit was filed under a new
Texas statute which places the bur
den of proof of the assessment’s ac
curacy on the equalization hoard,
rather than the taxpayer.
Dale said he believes there could
be an abundance of tax suits against
the equalization board because of
the statute and “if taxes remain the
same.”
Dale is represented by the Col
lege Station law firm of Goode,
Hoelscher & Lipsey. A court date
for the case has not been set.

Do you want to fly P
Face it . . . you’ve always wanted to fly! Most of us remember that
feeling . . . and for a lot of us it has never gone away.
You're in luck. Air Force ROTC can set you winging. Our Flight
Instruction Program (FIP) is designed to teach you the basics of
flight and includes flying lessons in light aircraft at a civilian-
operated flying school.
The program is an EXTRA given to cadets who can become Air
Force pilots through Air Force ROTC. Taken during the senior
year in college, it is the first step up for the cadet who is going on
to Air Force jet pilot training after graduation.
Air Force ROTC also has a scholarship program to pay for books,
fees, and full tuition, along with $100 a month. This is all reserved
for the cadet who wants to get his life off the ground . . . with Air
Force flying.
