Gulf Property Values



Increased by 33 pct.


By now, almost every property owner
in Gulf County has received the news of
new valuations placed against their pro-
perty for taxing purposes. In almost
every instance the valuations are up,
anywhere from 10 percent to over 100
percent. Tax Assessor Samuel A. Patrick
has released figures on the total county
valuation which reflects an average
increase of nearly one third.
After four months of going over all
real and personal property in the County,
with the aid of the Florida Revenue
Department, Patrick's office has releas-
ed a total property valuation of $97,358,-
830.00 for the county. A year ago, the
property valuations were ,$63,441,312.00,
for an increase of $33,917,428.00.
The re-valuation of the entire county
came at the orders of the State Revenue
Department which has stated all proper-
ty in the state must be on the tax rolls at
100 percent. Patrick has been under fire
from the State of Florida for the past few
years to bring Gulf's valuation up to state
standards. Each year, he has increased
valuations to a degree, but this year was
forced to re-value all property in the
county to the satisfaction of the Revenue
Department.
Patrick says he has filed the results
of the re-valuation with the Revenue
Department, but thus far has received no
official approval. Patrick says he expects
the work to be approved, however, since
the re-valuation was done under the
guidance of Department of Revenue
agents.
YARI)STICK USED
Patrick says he expects a good deal
of objections during the next two weeks,
when property owners can legally object
to the valuation placed against, their
propertyv4,-tWe.used the same ,ardstick

provements", he pointed out.

location, size and improvements to arrive
at their valuations. "We physically mea-


PP&K Contest
for Youngsters
This Saturday

Local youngsters, between
the ages of eight and 13, will
be competing on -Saturday,
October 5, for one of 18
trophies in the first level of
Punt, Pass and Kick competi-
tion. PP&K is an annual
event, co-sponsored by the
National Football League and
the Ford Dealers of America.
First, second and third
place winners of local compe-
titioh in each of the six age
.groups will receive a trophy.
Additional trophies will be
awarded to the first place
winner in the Zone, District,
Area, Divisional and National
finals.
PP&K finals will be held at
the National Football Confer-
ence championship game on
December 29. Finalists will
appear on national television
and the winners in each age
group will receive their
trophies from Pete Rozelle,
Commissioner of the National
Football League.
Any boy or girl (8-13) ac-
companied by a parent or
guardian may register at any
participating Ford dealer-
ship, where complete details
and free PP&K Tips books
are available.


sured every building", the Tax Assessor
said, "in arriving at a square foot area to
arrive at cost". Patrick said different
types of construction called for different
formulas at figuring worth.
Patrick said his office tried to arrive
at the resale value today of property in
order to arrive at a valuation for the tax
books.
OWNERS MAY OBJECT
Patrick said property owners may
enter objections if they feel their assess-
ments are too high. Property owners
have two weeks after the receipt of their
valuation cards in which to file their
objections. Property owners then fill out
a petition of objection and are assigned a
hearing date before the equalization
board.
If objects aren't filed within the
specified time limit, the objection must
wait until next year to be heard.
SHOULD LOWER MILEAGE
The effect of the re-valuation will be
to lower taxing millages in the county.
This isn't to say the property owner will
pay less tax. Since a mill will bring in 33
percent more tax revenue now than in
the past, and since all governing bodies
have the authority to levy from eight to
ten mills, the tax take can increase.
This year, in the Port St. Joe area.
the City of Port St. Joe is the only taxing
body to increase its tax dollar levy. The
City budget shows taxes to be collected
will be increased by about $20,000. County
and School Board tax levies will be just
slightly under last year.
All governing bodies in the county
have been delayed until receipt of the
property valuation.
Only the County Commission and the,
City of Port St. Joe have set tentative
millages The County expects to levy 6.3
nill- cis opposed to 8.7 for last year. The
City of Port St. Joe has tentatively set a
mill rate of 5.5 for a two mill reduction
from last year. Since Patrick is still
finding errors in the valuations and since
several changes will be made in the
equalization hearings the final figure
cannot be given yet, by which a firm mill
levy can be made.

Voters


Turn


"Ins" Out


63 pct. Post Their Ballots


Gulf County voters did a
little better in second pri-
mary balloting Tuesday,
sending 63 percent of the
electorate to the polls. In the
process, every incumbent
county candidate on the bal-
lot was put out of office. In
the Senate District election,
the Countv voted for the-
winner. Put Thomas, -in- th>.
stale-wide contests. 'Gulf
agreed with the rest of the
state, with the exception of
the Comptroller race. Gulf
wanted to send Fred O.
(Bud) Dickinson back to his
job. The rest of Florida dis-
agreed and over-tuled Gulf
by voting for Gerald Lewis of
Miami.


Herring Leads Kiwanis

assumed the office of president Tuesday at
the regular noon dinner meeting. Dr. Robert
E. King, left. is vice president of the club for
the coming year. Bob Simon, secretary-


treasurer, was not present for the Tuesday
meeting.

bilities at the meeting and charged the club
to seek a goal of 25 members for the coming
year. Star Photo


COUNTY RACES
In the several races, Gulf
county elected two new Coun-
ty Commissioners and one
new School Board member.
For County Commissioner
in District Two, Otis Davis,
Jr.. captured the nomination
hv defeating George L. Coo-
,. 1.720 to 1.334. Davis was
ii, the liead'er in a three-'
man race in the first pri-
mary.
In the District Four County
Commission race. new-comer
Everett Owens soundly de-
feated veteran Commissioner
Walter Graham, polling 1,901
votes to 1.375 for Graham.
Graham had served three
four-year terms on the
Board.
Fred Greer edged David
Rich, 1,784 to 1,537 in the
District 1 School Board con-
test. Greer was the eventual
winner in a field of five can-
didates in the first primary.
Probably the race with the
most interest was that of
Judge of the County Court.
Judge Bob Moore, who was
appointed to the office by
Governor Reubin Askew back
in February, was defeated by
Dr. David Taunton. Taunton.
a school teacher and part-
time -minister polled 1,760
votes: Moore, a Port St. Joe
attorney before his appoint-
ment, was close behind with
1,598 votes. This race could
be changed with the counting
of the absentee votes, but
according to Supervisor of
Elections Dessie Lee Parker,
most of the absentees were
cast in the Wewahitchka
area, Taunton's stronghold.
SENATE RACE
In the District Ten Senate
race. Gulf County again went
overwhelmingly for Gadsden
County's Pat Thomas over
Duby Ausley of Tallahassee.
Gulf cast 2.126 votes for
Thomas and 1.096 for Ausley.
Throughout the district.
Thomas topped Ausley by
nearly 10.000 votes, capturing
37.804 to Ausley's 28.317. Aus-
ley carried only his native

In the state-wide contests,
Gulf County helped nominate

ing him 2,045 votes to only
1.200 for Bill Gunter.
Bruce Smathers was the
favorite in Gulf over Beverly
Dozier. Smathers had 1.806
Gulf County votes to add to
his total while Ms. Dozier
polled only 1,234.
Gulf County wanted to send
Fred O. "Bud" Dickinson

City Tentatively Sets Millage Rate at 5.5


City Clerk Charles Brock told the City
Commission Tuesday night that he had
received a tentative valuation from Coun-
ty Tax Assessor Samuel A. Patrick, but
that nothing was firm enough as yet to
peg a millage rate to the new budget.
Brock said, that as it appears now, the
City must levy approximately 5.5 mills to
finance the proposed expenditures. The
City levied 7.5 mills last year.
Brock said final figures should be
available by the next meeting date of.
Tuesday, October 15, at which time, the
Commission may officially set their
millage rate.
Brock also said the City is levying


$20.000 more in taxes this year than they
did last year, in financing the general
Fund budget of $632.871.00. Attor-
ney William J. Rish told the Commission
they must advertise the fact they plan to
raise taxes and have a public hearing
before they can finally do so.
WANT WAGE INCREASE .
Employees of the Waste Water Teat-
ment Plant have filed a letter with the
City Commission to grant them a cost of
living raise in salary.
The Board took the request under
advisement and study and will reach a
decision on the request, probably at the
next, meeting.


Several of the plant employees were at
the meeting Tuesday. stating they had
not had a cost of living increase since
starting work. The spokesman said he
had began employment at the plant 15
months ago.
PARK I)ISCUSSION
Several citizens of North Port St. Joe
were present Tuesday night, again seek-
ing a final answer on their request for a
park and playground in this section of
Port St. Joe.
In their first appearance two weeks
ago, the delegation asked that the old
Washington Elementary site on Main
Street be developed with two tennis


courts and playground equipment. Mayor
Pate said it was the desire of the Board
to secure the old Washington High School
site and develop it. "We could have a
first-clags recreation complex at this site
while the site you're talking about is
limited in size", Pate had told the
delegation.
Tuesday, Clarence Monette, acting as
spokesman for the group said, "We would
like to have the Washington High School
site delevoped too, but attempts have
been made for nearly five years to secure
permission or title to the site for this
purpose with no solution as yet. We need

New Property Values


Stir Emotions


The Bible says that during the
last days there shall be weeping
and wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Anybody who stirred about Gulf
County the first part of this week
kould have thought the last days
had arrived, had he applied only
this portion of prophecy to his
observations.
It wasn't the last days which
caused the expressions of emotion
here in Gulf County, though. The
weeping was caused by the ex-
tremely high property valuations
mailed out this past week end. The
wailing was due to the foreboding
of things to come on the tax bill
and the gnashing of teeth (along
with a smattering of cussing) was
at the Tax Assessor.
Assessment of property took a
dramatic jump, with almost every-
one receiving a hike in the taxable
value of his property. The State of
Floridar said wemust dp this aWd
the 'faxAssessor played it cobl;
hiding behind the assessments of a
team from the State Department of
Revenue.
We can't blame the Tax Asses-
sor for not wanting the stigma hung
on him for such huge increases in
valuations in one year. From the
grumbling we have heard since last


Friday, the Assessor didn't escape
much by calling, :on the State men
to do the re-valuation work. Today,
the Assessor's name is mud. To-
morrow, it may be "Good Old
Sammy" once again. Today,
though, it is "Mud".

It has been our observation
that Sammy Patrick puts up one
facade, but actually he is some-
thing else. One thing he is, he is
knowledgeable about the value of
property. There has been grumb-
ling in the pastgjout valuations,
but usually only minor gripes. The
valuation which came out last week
caused king size gripes because
few felt a fair valuation had been
made against their property.
It is our opinion that Patrick
himself could have done a much
better and more equitable job of
...re-valuing: ,the propenty-, of- the,,
county' fdr tax purposes. At any.
Rate, it was his job to do so. The
apparent inequities between the
values placed on like pieces of
property throughout the county de-
serves his concentration and ex-
amination before the next tax year,
in order to rectify what many
claim to be unfair assessments of
property.


A Blessing?..


We hesitate to say this, but just
possibly the new, high assessments
of property here in Gulf County can
Sbe a blessing in disguise, after the
:'claimed inequities have been
ironed out.
S In the light of the recent pitiful
turn-out of voters to select the men
who will spend several millions of
tax payer's money over the next
four years, we can't help but
:- believe the increased valuation will

Rotarians

Hear Gov.

Reagan
Rotarian Tom Ford pre-
sented a very interesting tap-
ed message delivered by Cali-
fornia Governor Ronald Rea-
gan at a recent meeting of
the National Association of
Manufacturers to the Port St.
Joe Rotary Club last Thurs-
day at their regular meeting.
Reagan said that corpora-
tions were so much responsi-
ble for America's standard of
living. "The jobs your plants
provide give Americans the
opportunity to earn the good
life", he said. He pointed out
that corporations and Labor
weren't so far apart in their
thinking. "Most of you are
words apart and not worlds
apart. Words can part us and
words can bring us toget-
her."
Reagan hit hard at the
socialistic aspects of Ameri-
can life during the course of
his talk. As an example of
our condition, he told the
story of the farm hand who
borrowed a ham out of the
smoke house of his employer.
Reagan said, "The farm
hand took the ham to the
store and sold it for $27.00.
Then he took $20.00 and
bought $50.00 worth of food
stamps. With the food stamps
he purchased $50.00 worth of
food, including'the ham. He
then took the ham and put in
back in the smoke house lnd
the farm hand had a su'Wly
of groceries and $7.00 in his
pocket. The grocer had made
money and the farmer had
his ham back." Reagan then
posed the question, "Who was
hurt in this transaction?"
Reagan, who is a champion
of conservatism and capital-
ism pointed out that each
year four of ten Ameri-
can corporations make no
profits. He pointed out that
corporate profits were never
over 5.5 percent and are now
down to an average of 4.3
percent.
On taxes, Reagan said tax-
es in America now take 43.1
percent of the income of the
U.S. people.
Guest of the club was Jack
Greene of Birmingham. Ala.

Those Arabs might be a bunch of ignorant
nomads, roar ing the desert and living off
clabbered goat's milk, but there's no denying
the fact that they know how to make a civilized
Yankee squirm.
I wonder what it is about such a civilization
that realizes that the Yankee giant, or the
Japanese, or the English, or others won't come
over, in force, and take over his oil fields in
defiance to the Arab's pricing practices. It
could be done, you know. But, the Yankees are
patient, and spend their time trying to per-
suade a reluctant Arab to take less money for
something only he has. For a people who have
spent their entire history trading, this will
probably prove to be an impossible task.
The Arabs may just be painting themselves
into a corner, though. The free world nations
use three fourths of the world's oil production.
With the completion of the Alaskan pipeline
and the discovery of the off-shore off Indo-
china, the gold flow to the Arab nations may
just dry up in a very few years. Just about the
time the Arabs get used to all that money, it'll
stop.

President Gerald Ford may only think he
got into trouble when he pardoned Nixon or
proposed amnesty, if he goes along with the 0Oc
increase in gasoline taxes.
Some have even proposed increasing gas-
oline taxes to the point where gas would cost up
to $1.15 per gallon. I can't understand the
reasoning of this, unless it is merely to
discourage the purchase of gasoline. There's no
denying, a $1.15 per gallon price tag would
discourage the purchase of gasoline. It might
even get so binding some people would start
walking instead of driving. That's pretty
serious in this mobile age.
Anyhow, back to the President. Gerald
Ford and the American people have their
hands full if they hope to stem inflation in just
a short period of time. (The short period of
time being, before next Presidential election
day.) With the entire world in the throes of
inflation, it doesn't seem likely we will shake
loose from the cheap money problem in the

2. When did you last buy
your spouse a gift, or take
home some flowers, for no
reason at all?
3. Do you dress as neatly a-
round the house now as you
did when you were courting?
Or do you keep the house
neat, but not antispectic?
4. When was the last time


very near future.
The thing which really needs attention,
though is shortages of many items it takes to
do business with every day. In our business, for
instance: it's almost impossible to buy a paper
clip from the wholesaler. File folders are in
short supply. Staples are growing as scarce as
hen's teeth and many paper items (the more
common, less expensive kinds) are almost
non-existant. These are small items, but vital
to doing business. Also, there's no excuse for
their being short.
The St. Joe Paper Company is having
trouble getting chemicals. They are especially
short of salt cake. I had a half-full box of salt
at home which had gotten wet and formed into
a cake, and I offered it for their use. They said
it was the wrong kind of salt.

Frenchie and I rode up to Macon Saturday
afternoon to attend a silver wedding anniver-
sary of a sister, and witnessed all the farmers
between Bainbridge and Sylvester harvesting
peanuts. There should be no shortage of
peanuts this year, with all we saw being
hauled to market on a Saturday afternoon and
Sunday.

SElection is .over npow and,chere in, ulf
County, our :local offices have al.!'bee.ifilled.
While Florida is getting 'to the position where it
is sophisticated enough to have two strong
parties, here in Gulf County, we have to
contend with only one. So, the primaries elect
our public servants.
In all likelihood, all of my favorite candi-
dates did not get elected. I did cast my vote for
those I thought would do the best job. Now, I'll
spend the remainder of the terms of office
decided upon Tuesday doing what I can to help
those in office. If they don't please me, I'll let
them know. I think that is the proper relation-
ship between public servant and citizen. Citi-
zens failing to take an interest in public
functions is what leads to politicians becoming
convinced of the fact the office they hold is
their particular private property rather than a
trust of the people.

a recreation area for small kids now, and
the site we propose is owned by the City
and available now for development."
The Commission agreed with the need
.and are agreed to go ahead with a
playground project, but they hesitate to
*put the facility on such a small plot of
ground. Mayor Pate asked the group to
allow the Commission a few days to
make a final attempt to reach agreement
on the old High School site and if we
can't get it, we will go ahead and develop
the Main Street site." Mayor Pate went
on to say that many residents of the area
had contacted him over the past two
weeks and urged the playground to be
located at the old high school site.
Pate pointed out that the City had
already built a tennis court and little
boys baseball field on the high school
site. but hesitated to put more money on
property they did not own or have a lease
on.
Monette stressed that his group did


not oppose the development of the high
school site. "It was just our thought the
area was not available and we need the
facilities."
Pate cautioned that the City could not
develop both sites at this time. "Which-
ever site we end up developing; that will
be it for the next few hears at least."

OTHER BUSINESS
In other business, the Commission:
-Made a semi-annual payment of
$229,090.71 on the Wastewater Treatment
Plant bonds.
-Agreed to a- request made by the
Volunteer Fire Department to add two
firemen to the roster.
-Accepted a contract from Standard
Oil Company to furnish the City with
gasoline at a price of 31c per gallon for
regular and 341,c per gallon for high test.
-Agreed to write four pieces of equip-
ment off the inventory which had been
scrapped.

you turned the TV off and
said "let's take a walk" or
"let's just talk"?
5. When did you last-do
some extra work that wasn't
re(iuired,- jbst, because you
felt you could' do more, not
for praise?
6. How long has it been, if
ever, since you did some-
thing nice for your mother-
in-law?
7. Do you ever, anymore,
ask his or her advice? And
take it if it's worthwhile?
8. How often do you visit a
sick friend, write a letter to
some distant relatives, or
dance with a homely girl or
man?
You can now add your own
test questions if you really
want too, and you should. If


you don't think an occasional
self-study is important,
consider this story:
A very young.lad walked
into the corner grocery and
Asked to use the telephone.
The grocer overheard just
this half of the conversation:
"Mr. Jones, I'd like to
apply for a job as your yard-
boy ..... Oh, you've already
got one? . Well is he
doing a good job ..... well,
thank you very much."
The grocer, impressed
with the youth's polite and
positive approach to job
hunting, said as he left: "I'm
sorry you didn't get the job."
To which the youngster
replied: "Oh, I've already
got the job, I was just
checking up on myself."

GI Home Loans Must

Be Paid Promptly


Here is an important notice
for you veterans who are pay-
ing on a GI Home Loan says
W. B. Mackall. Director of
the State of Florida's Divi-
sion of Veterans Affairs.
Your Veterans Administra-
tion home loan; contract-::re-
quires that each monthly
payment must be made by
you on-or before the due
date. There is no "grace
period" for these payments.
Your loan contract also pro-
vides for a late charge of four
per cent of any installment
when paid more than fifteen'
(15) days after the due date.
While the Veterans Admini-
stration has not invoked this
provision of the loan contract
in the past, effective August
1. 1974, installment payment
will be assessed a late charge
if paid more than fifteen (15)
days after the due date. Late

charges will appear on
monthly billing notices one
(1) month following the ac-
cural of such charges. Please
pay your monthly install-
ments on time so that your
monthly payments will not be


subject to late charges.
If you have any questions
on the above or any veteran
matter contact either your
local County Veteran Service
Office, any office of the Vet-
erans Administration or write
Mackall at Post Office Box

You won't see what is probably
the best college football team in the
country this year. They won't be
allowed to accept a post-season
bowl or even be considered in the
ratings voted on by other college
coaches.
The reason is they were found to
be in violation of NCAA recruiting
practices.
The guilty participants, coaches
and players, are no longer with the
team, so who is really paying the bill? We are in
favor of penalties for those who violate the rules, but
are opposed to punishing innocent people and the
game itself.
The shadow of professionalism will always hang
over amateur sports. But some degree of credibility
could be restored, if the "powers that be" on the
various amateur committees, would adopt a more
realistic approach in their disciplinary actions.
Incidentally, the team is Oklahoma.

About 40 per cent of mar-
ried women now work in jobs
covered by social security
compared to 30 per cent in
1970, according to David P.
Robinson, Social Security,
Field Representative for Gulf
County.
Almost 19 million married
women have jobs outside
their homes compared to 1214
million in 1960, according to
the U. S. Department of
Labor. Nine out of 10 jobs are
covered by social security.
"Working women build
social security disability, sur-
vivors. retirement, and Medi-
care protection for them-
selves and their families,"
Robinson said. "More mar-
ried women work now than in
1960 because families are
smaller and there are more
jobs for women and more day
care facilities for children."
Monthly social security
benefits can be paid to a wife
on her work record even if
her husband keeps working,
and if a woman has worked
long enough under social
security and retires, becomes
disabled, or dies, her children
can be paid benefits on her
record until they're 18-or
until 22 if they're full-time
students and remain unmar-
ried.

Many boatmen extend their
water sports season into the
fall and winter hunting sea-
sons.
As they swap their rods
and reels for rifles and shot-
guns, they often make the
mistake of abandoning life
jackets for hunting coats. A
boat is a boat, regardless of
its use, and federal and state
safety equipment require-
ments remain the same,
year round.

The new life vests are
prob- similar in size and basic
ending shape to the popular quilted
uflage vests many hunters wear un-
d only der their coats in nippy wea-
ther. Besides the obvious ad-
vantage of being able to save
your life, they have several
properties that often make
them a better bargain than
the combination of a tradi-
tional-styled life vest or pre-
server worn over a quilted
vest for insulation.
S The new life vests use
either foam. or a fibrous filler
for flotation. These buoyant
fillers trap body heat as ef-
fectively as many pieces of
fabric clothing. As an added
bonus. they can serve as
built-in recoil pads, if and
when you are lucky enough to
get off a shot.
U Since they are built along
the same lines as a vest, they

The life vests repel rather
than absorb water and may
keep you a bit less wet in the
rain. If they do get wet, such
as in a dunking, they dry
completely and rapidly. Not
so with bulky clothing.
Life preservers, by federal
law. must be bright orange in
color but life vests may be
any color, including camou-
flage if you can find one. The
most popular colors being
manufactured, excluding
trim. are green. blue and
yellow.
If you should capsize on a
cold day, you will quickly
become aware of the most
important advantage the new
life vests have over ordinary
insulating undergarments.
Bulky cloth insulation will
most likely provide nothing
but dead weight to a hunter

thing he could do without.

As more hunters take to the
water each year. boating-re-
lated hunting accidents follow
the rise. The common hunt-
ing boat accident is capsizing
(about 60 percent of the fata-
lities) often due to the heav-
ier equipment and clothing
that cold weather hunting re-
quires.
Swamping is also a great
problem in hunting from a
boat. again due to excessive
weight,
Boating hunters may have
even more reason to observe
safety rules than summer
boatmen, since the ele-
ments-weather and water

are much more adverse. The

developed a special boating
