There are a lot of
good cars you can get for '3400.
This is two of them;
If you don't happen to need two cars, there's
only one thing that you need less. One car that
costs as much as two cars.
Unless you want to pay a lot of money for a lot
of horsepower that you'll never use. There's only
one state in the country where you can go faster
than a Volkswagen —Nevada.(No speed limit —
they're big gamblers out there.)
The only extra horsepower you really need is
for all those power gadgets. Which you need to
drive a car that size. Which has to be that size to
hold all those horses.
All of which also makes the overage car cost al
most as much to run as two Volkswagens. Consider
ing a VW gets about 27 miles to a gallon of gas
and about 40,000 miles to a set of tires.
But if you’re still not sold on the idea of two bugs
for the price of one beast, why not take advantage
of this special introductory offer: one Volkswagen
for half the price of two.

Beginning symptoms are not too troublesome. Hr

Normal Mail Service to
Follow End of Rail Strike
The following statement
was issued by Postmaster
General Lawrence F.
O’Brien on resumption of
normal mail service follow
ing end of rail strike:
“With the end of the rail
road strike, the Post Office
Department will be in im
mediate contact with the
railroads to arrange for res
toration of normal mall
service as rapidly as possi
ble.
Airmail and first-class
mall have moved through
out the emergency with
minimal delays. This was
due to the excellent coop
eration of airline companies
throughout the nation that
made all possible space
available for airlifting of
mall.
Also, parcels weighing up
to 5 pounds and letter mail
addressed to the military
overseas have been expe
dited to their destinations
without any major difficul
ties.

Dear Sir:
I have reviewed the 1967 tax digest for Chattooga County
which was submitted by you on June 22, 1967 for approval^
by the State Revenue Commissioner. I have determined
that your digest does not accurately reflect an assessment
ratio of 40% of fair market value, and therefore I cannot
approve your digest in its present condition.
It will be necessary for you to raise the real property in
all columns except column 20 and autos of the digest by a
ratio of 1.07 in order to achieve a digest of 40%. Your digest
is being returned under separate cover.
Any further details which you might need will be fur
nished to you by our Property Tax Unit.
Sincerely,
Peyton S. Hawes
Commissioner

COMMISSIONER OF ROADS AND REVENUE
CHATTOOGA COUNTY
SUMMERVILLE, GEORGIA
TO THE TAXPAYERS OF CHATTOOGA COUNTY:
The above letter from the State Property Tax Unit is self
explanatory although I would like to explain to you that this
action the State Department says must be on every property
owner in the county, whether he is fairly assessed or over
or under assessed.
This simply means that our evaluation of 1964 is of no value
to us as to the 40% the property must be assessed at.
It seems that now we must go through all the returns and add
this amount to each property owner and add 1.07% to
reach the State's demand.
We have checked into this matter and find that we have no
other alternative than to meet this request.
I understand that it is a state law that the property owner
will not be notified, nor will there be any arbitrations allowed
in this matter. We were hoping that the 38.93% would be
near enough to pass but the State says NO.

The Summerville News, Thurs., July 20, 1967
At the start of the strike,
we had about 350 mail stor
age cars with non-preferen
tial mail that were In trans
it when the embargo was
placed on mall shipments.
This mall is being dis
patched as the railroads re
gain their capability for
normal operations. We have
instructed the department’s
15 regional directors to lift
the embargo on mailings of
2nd, 3rd and 4th class mail
as soon as normal rail serv
ice Is restored in their areas.
During the crisis, our post
masters have been working
with large volume mailers
to develop a scheduling of
mail after the embargo. We
will make every effort to
prevent jam ups of this mail
that was held back during
the strike, and we will need
the continued cooperation
of commercial mailers for
the next several days.
We have appreciated the
close cooperation the mail
ing public has extended to
