hands. I am therefore taking
this opportunity to pass on to
you Citizens and Taxpayers,
who are the life blood of our
Community as much informa-
ton as is at my disposal.
Your taxes this year will be
higher than last due to increas-
ed levies by the various taxing
bodies. (See Schedule "A")
You will note that the total
increase in the tax rate per
$4,000 valuation is 1914 cents.
All bodies, with the exception
of the Park District, show NOM
inal increases with the greatest
increase going to the High
School.
From Schedule "B", Column
l, you can see what each tax
ing body would receive if all
taxes were paid in full. Collec-
tions in recent years indicate
however, that approximately
80 per cent of the taxes levied
are collected. Therefore show
in column 2 of this schedule,
the amount of money they can
actually anticipate from this
years collections.
Schedule &c" sets forth in
column 1, the percentage of
your taxes that will go to each
governing body. Column 2
shows the amount of money
that each body will receive
from every $4,000 collected.
Through the courtesy of Mr..
c. E Baird and Mr.. John Som,
we have again been accorded
space for tax collection in the
Zion office of the North Shore
Gas Company, We will comply
with their office hours which
you will find in the upper COR
ner of your tax statement.

Duties OF Club
President Told
To RoiarianS

Thomas S. Leatherbury, imme-
diate past president of the Pas
cagoula Rotary club, gave his
viewpoint on what it means 70
be a Rotary president before the
Moss Point club at the regular
meeting Thursday.
Mr. Leatherbury stated that il
is indeed an honor to be elected
to the highest position in tn e
club, but that it also carries its
quota of responsibility and worry.
In setting forth three princi-
Piles by which a president might
hope to achieve success Mr..
Leatherbury said, know yourself.
A president must realize that he
has the qualities of a leader to
have been elected to the office.
Know your members. A presi-
dent must recognize the poten-
tialities of his club members in
appointments and duties as
signed.
Know Rotary. A president
must strive to i~nculcate himself
with the Rotary ideals and prin-
ciples.
A letter from the district gov
ernor complimenting the club on
its attendance record was read
by the secretary, stating that the
club ranks 5th in the district.
