Williamson county commissioners court pointed the
way to lowering local taxes when it, sitting as an equaliza-

buildings in line with the actual decline in value.
Hays county tried 10 do the same, after it was too late. /.
The Williamson county action also is a reminder that the

Mrs. Judd's right hand was wrapped

Another refutation Of Mrs. Judd's
story that she was shot by Miss Sam

said. she arrived at the clinic with her
left hand swathed in rough bandage,
saying she had burned 1t with an

Rodgers said Mrs. Judd's story of
an attack by both girls after she had
demonstrated with one about a nasty

possibly stand up.
"Also, If these girls were In posses
sion Of q gun. why would one Of them
attack here with an ironing board?
There was only one gun-and It
was Mrs. Judds-we have established
that the gun found in Los Angeles
