levied taxes.
The Commissioners found that
in order to do this they would
have to levy a. 'tax millage of 16.7
mills.
At this point the Commission
runs into difficulty with the laws.
of the State of Florida. The Flor-
ida law states that under no
circumstances can the millage
rate of the Road and Bridge Fund
run' over 10 mills. The 'Commis-
sioners, feeling that they needed
this amount of money went ahead
and assessed the 16.7 mills regard-
less of the Florida law.
FUND MIS-USED
According to the Florida State
law the County Road and Bridge
Fund has. been. mis-spent ever since
the formation of the county. The
law states that one-half, of any
funds :..&!. :-i within a municipal-
-ity by the County for Road "and
Bridge work shall be- turned back
to that municipality in order that
the municipality may keep up their
roads and bridges. In other words
if the. 'assessment on the property
in the City limits of Port St. Joe
amounted to $60,000.00 for the Road
and Bridge Fund, the City of Port
St. Joe would be entitled to $30,-
000.00 of this sum by state law. In
the past the County has just divid-
ed $6,000.00 of the race -track fund
between the City of Port St. Joe
and the City of Wewahitchka
with no Road and Bridge Funds be-
ing divided.
OTHER ASSESSMENTS
Other departments of County
government are being supported as'
follows:
General Fund, $89,994.00; of
which $37,354.00 is being brought
in by a 7.7 mill levy, the balance
by race track funds, licenses and
other means of revenue. The legal
rate of 'taxtion for' this department
is an 8 mill maximum.
Fine and Forfeiture Fund, $35,-
815.00.; $11,732.00 coming in by tal-
es with a 1.8 'mill levy with the bal-
ance coming from Race Track Fund
Fines and Costs and money carried
forward.
C. H. & J. I. & $. Fund which re-
tires bonds of indebtedness on the
courthouse, $5,684.00 of the $6,000.
set aside for 'this purpose -to come
from a 1 mill assessment and the
remainder from balance on hand.
Pest Control Fund, $10,000 with
1.8 mills levied for this purpose.
(The State of Florida passed a bill
in the last Legislative session to
furnish funds for pest. control).

is tloug'htully weighed. jrhe spol.en word barely asselsa;
the prnte.l -word tlorougfly convinces. The spoken word
;s lost; the pinrea word remains.

PROOF OF NEED FOR RE-ASSESSMENT
A few weeks ago we stated that in our
opinion we thought the County should be re-
assessed.and re-evaluated by a Board of Equali-
zation. Nothing bears out this need as much
as the situation now in existence as stated on
the front page of this week's issue. We hope
the Commissioners will .now realize this fact
and take steps to either re-assess' the county pro-
perty or revamp the Ta-. AsXe'jors undoubtedly
outdated tax rolls.
We take this stand fort this reason. Just
suppose the county needed the amount they
had drawn up in the original draft of the bud-
get for the coming year. We are not saying this
amount is needed, but just suppose it was need-
ed. THERE IS NO WAY UNDER THE LAW
THAT THE AMOUNT COULD BE COL-
LECTED SINCE SO MUCH PROPERTY IS
EXEMPT THAT SHOULDN'T BE EXEMPT
AND BECAUSE PROPERTY EVALUATION IS


SO LOW. Now don't go thinking that we are
trying to raise taxes. This wouldn't raise any-
one's taxes any appreciable amount. Some tax-
es would come down a few dollars and some
would go up a few dollars. It would just dis-
tribute the tax burden so that nobody would
be saddled with an excessive tax.
We believe that now is the time to equalize
the tax valuation of the whole of the property
in the County.

WHERE'S THAT OVERPASS?
We see where the railroad has run their
first of a series of new tracks across the high-
way out on Highway 98 16ading into the paper
mill. Joe L. Sharit, superintendent of the rail-
road stated some months ago that approximately
1S more spur tracks would be run across the
hi hway and he and his company started an agi-
tation to secure an overpass over their tracks to
make for safer traffic over said tracks. The
State Road Department allowed the funds for
the job but so far construction on the project
has not started.
More trains are already crossing the high-
way on the existant tracks and the traffic haz-
ard is already mounting.
What we want to know is when is the con-
struction on the overpass going to start?
We hope they don't wait until all the spur
tracks are put across the highway and make
the crossing hazard even greater. with the de-
tour that will no doubt be necessary in order
to construct the overpass.

Some people are troubled by the things in
the Bible they can't understand. The things
that trouble me are the things I can under-
stand. Mark Twain

When you choose a car for your family,
you call on your good judgment to
obtain every measure of safety.
One safety factor you should certainly
consider is the magnificent reserve
of power that Dodge provides in the
140-h.p. Red Ram V-8 engine.
This power is there when you need it:
For passing, for turning into highway
traffic, for crossing intersections.
The cost of safety is very low:
Dodge prices start below many
models in the "lowest-priced" field.

You've Got to Drive It to Believe It!
Specifications and equipment subject to change without notice.


Turning into traffic,
you call on the surg-
ing reserve of accel-
eration that set new
official AAA per-
formance records for
the Red ,Ram V-8.


Passing a truck
on the highway, a
touch of your toe
brings instant, eager
response. Dodge
power reserve is a
great safety factor.


Powerful brakes,
capable of develop-
ing more than 700-

the Red Ram V-
Eight engine to
bring you new mas-
tery ofevery driving

TO CLASSIFY
BY RUSSELL KAY


There is a tremendous building
project underway in Putnam County
on 'a 320-acre tract bordering the
St. Johns River.
You won't find this' operation
listed under 'building permits,' but
each individual unit is more impor-
tant and more meaningful to the
,future of the state and the nation
than any construction job being
accomplished- with concrete or
steel
The work is under the supervis-
ion of the 'Architect of the Univer-
se' for the contractor has under-
taken the :task' of 'building boys'
under the assumption that 'It is
better to build 'boys than to mend
men.'
This phase presisted in the busy
mind of Homer Rodehaver, nation-
ally known. evangelistic song lead-
er and sacred music publisher as
he was flying from London to
Paris.
The truism, coupled with his
dream of creating a haven for
needy, worthy boys, obscured all
else, and it was not until he felt
the sudden lift of the great plane
that he became awear of the dense
fog that had been enveloping them.
With the other travelers, he then
gazed out into the murky grayness
as the pilot soared upwards.
'And suddenly we rose out of
nothingness into almost unbeliev-
able beauty, for beneath us lay a
complete circle of rainbow hues-
gorgeous coloring that no artist's
skill could duplicate.' Mr. Rodehav-
'er recalls, 'at one time the shadow
of the plane formed a complete
cross in the center of the radient
circle.'
It was at this moment that con-
crete plans for 'Rainbow Ranch for
Boys'(became a reality.
Years before, Rodehaver had ac-
quired a large acreage on the St.
Johns River near Palatka. He and
'his partner Harry Westbury con-
tributed this tract as a location for
a Boy's ranch.
Rodehaver Boys' Ranch is a
place where unwanted boys are
wanted, where, security and faith
and understanding are given to
boys who previously had known
only failure, rebuff and cruelty;
it has a very dramatic role to play
ii the. lives of boyswho break under
the strains and insecurities of out
