expressed interest in the project.

Communication
Dear Jeff:
The phone has been ringing
off the hook, and lots of folks
have stopped by the County
Office to ask who is responsible
for the beautiful gazebo in
Stearns Park. The three philan
thropic individuals are Mrs.
Frank D. Turner and Mr. and
Mrs. Guilford S. Turner Jr.
These generous people were
kind enough to make this grand
contribution to enhance Stearns
Park. Everyone I have talked to
is very excited and pleased with
this addition. I believe this
gazebo will be the focal point of
many activities in the near
future. I know I join all Polk
County citizens in saying
"thank you" to the Turners.
John W. Lewis, Jr.
Polk County Manager
Columbus Raises
Tax Rate 5 Cents
The Columbus Town Council
raised the tax rate 5 cents to 30
cents per $100 valuation after a
public hearing Friday morning.
The council passed its budget
with the increase, which will
bring an additional $15,000 into
town coffers.
That additional revenue was
needed due to a general increase
in expenses, Mayor Paul Smith
said.
In addition, the town will
begin advertising today for an
additional policeman. Applica
tions will be accepted through
August 1.
