In Oklahoma City, sales tax collections start at 15
cents. There is a penny tax on sales of 15 to 44 cents;
of 75 to 31.14 and on up. TWo-thirds of the sales tax goes
to the state; the city’s third is used to finance our city
government at all levels.
Recently a group of teachers and aids took a group of
Head Start children to the Oklahoma City zoo. Some of
the children purchased snow cones for 15 cents, but were
charged a penny sales tax. Isn’t this sales tax a bit high,
and illegal? Otherwise, the day was perfect. Mrs. C. R.,
Canton.

liberty to publish the name of any one company.
He says that if any individual or agent is having a

We have several neighbors who are retired and
whose only income is Social Security and welfare. They
own their homes and are being required to carry exces-

amounts of the policies are not in keeping with the liabili-

"This is one I can't guess on — I have no idea,” said
board secretary Basil Wilson.
One veteran election observer who asked his name -
not be used predicted the two questions will carry.
"I can’t see the vote running over 150,000, but I think
that ’s enough to carry it/’ he said.
"There is no organized opposition. If there was any
one big group active against it, it might be different.”
Ordinarily, a light vote bodes ill for a state ballot
question because sentiment against a proposition seems
more moving than support of it.
Although a mid-day sampling of Oklahoma County
voting showed a generally light vote, there were a few
isolated precincts where voting was heavier than had
been anticipated.
At Precinct 29 of Ward One only 16 votes had been
cast and was described as "real, real, real light. You

Nureyev echoed, "Oh, I

As police searched him in
the precinct station, he
struck a ballet pose. He
wore form-fitting slacks, a
tight pea jacket and black

Among the others picked
up, police identified Rich-

manager of the Seattle
Symphony who had been

post-performance supper
earlier in the evening.
A member of the party
said that someone suggest-

As they strolled the
streets, loud music was
heard from a fourth floor
flat. A hippie called down.
"Come on up," and the vis-

tion.
Meanwhile, a neighbor
had called police.

ed, arriving about 3 a.m.

the property from A-single

by the owners of Garland

the site
At that time, it was pro-

City Has Applied
Tolbert Elliott, public
housing director, said Tues-
day his agency has no feder-
al authorization at this time
for additional elderly units
which could be placed at that
site, though it has applied for
such units.
Two weeks ago the city
council followed the planning
commission recommendation
to zone the property for mul-
tiple family dwellings with a
covenant that if it is not used
for public housing, it would
revert to single family zon-
ing.
Action Reconsidered
At a recessed session of
the same meeting the council
voted to reconsider its action
after Mrs. Patience Latting,
Ward 2, heard from constitu-
ents they had not been noti-
fied of the council hearing.
The legal question revolves
around whether the vote to
reconsider actually repealed
the zoning ordinance.
On the advice of Roy Semt-
ner, municipal counselor,
and a motion by Mrs. Lat-
ting, the council Tuesday
sent the matter back to the
planning commission.
Question Remains
There still appears to be a
question as to whether the
planning commission will act
on an ordinance to rezone
the property back to single
family, which the council
now wants it to be.

bald Hill, attorney for a
