March 7~ 1975
The Honorable Mayor and City Councilmen of Plainview, Texas
Sirs
~t a regular meeting of The Retired Teachers AssociatiOn, held on
Feb. ll, 1975, a motion was made and passed uuamiously~o ask the
governing bodies of Plaiuview and Hale County to grant an exemPtion
of taxes on homesteads of all citizens of Hale County who are age sixty
five years or older of the $3000.00 State amouut~ a!%owed legaI~y.
We shall also present this request to The Plainview School Board and to
The County Commissioners 8ourt of Hale County-asking them to join in
this action as it is necessary for it to be a joint action of all gov-
erning bodies of Hale County.
In the past each governing body has past the buck on to the other one
and havesaid it can not act without the other acting; um~T we are ask-
ing each one of you to act, please.
in view of the fact that this exemption is granted on State taxes by
simply asking that it'be done and in view of the fact that Potter County
and Amarillo grants this favor, as well as a vast majority of the State:
we feel that Hale County should also do this for its elderly citizens.
~e as the Committee request that you act upon this important matter
at your earliest couvience and to announce your action.
Roy B. Carries , l~mbers
