Speakin of Navajos, darned If Im not mighty curious why one of em went to the bank last Tuesday and cashed a $960 check and insisted on gettin 960 bills. Oh well, thats one way for these oil tycoons to paper their tepees. I think itd be a right smart idea for some sharp public relations man to take a jaunt down to the reservation and sorta snuggle up to some of those native oil men, and get em in the mood to invest some of that easy cash in living quarters for the rest of us folks in Monticello and Bland-inand all over the county. Our countys just bustin out all over with a boom that cant boom because there isnt any place for people to live.

Communities gotta have people but they cant have people If theres no place to live. So were just gonna invest some of our money and build some homes and apartments and you people can live it up. Course, Im just imaginin like the horse on the things but if wed forget mountain about that horse and get some good live horses right down here where they could work and pull together, some of em might come up with a few ideas about this housin situation that would make everybody look thi s way.

It has been customary for years for taxpayers to ignore their notices until the time comes for them to pay their taxes, she added, then the result is nothing but confusion. If people will just examine their valuation notices carefully and determine whether they have been ahead of the September deadline, they will eliminate a lot of difficulty in straightening up the whole tax picture.
