My mom saved this and sent it to me when my daughter was little. A few parts have been lost, but we’re still digging to see if we can find them. I always thought it was a Barbie, but now I know it’s Francie. The hangars have Francie’s name. At none time you could hang clothes in the little box area inside the case I think.

The Francie doll has real eyelashes, and brown eyes. It’s a twist and turn doll. The legs can bend into 3 positions. The left leg does not work correctly any more. It’s just a soft bend instead of locking into position. The hair and rest of doll is very nice, assuming it will clean up easy, and I made any attempt to clean it yet. It says made in Japan, 1965 under the head. It has trademark 1966 and made in Japan on rear, It has #21 on left rear. There is no green or stains around ears.

Good Luck Chip!

Lighthouse Point held a public hearing regarding the proposed property tax rate in 2010. The basic proposed millage rate per $1000 is 3.6188, the same as last year, despite a $200,000,000 drop in taxable value of real property for operating purposes. The property values are determined by the Broward County Property appraiser.

Kudos to Lighthouse Point for being able to hold the line for this particular item. As many people know, most of the property taxes we pay though are Broward County taxes, including Broward County Schools. They’re still trying to find ways to trim the budget. Surely there will be a hike, but how much is yet to be determined.

For those with inquisitive minds, the per property value drop is in the $20,000 range according to the property appraiser numbers. I have no idea how accurate the data on this source is, but I pulled this data off Yahoo real estate web site. http://realestate.yahoo.com/Florida/Lighthouse_Point. I find that many sites lump LHP data into Pompano because of a shared zip code. The last city meeting I attended there were only a handful of foreclosures so this number below seems quite high.
