Murphy Football
Play erg To Meet
All prospective football players
for Murphy High School are asked
to meet at the high school on Sat
urday. Aug. 13 at 2 p. m.
Official practice will begin Mon
day, Aug. 15, it was announced.
1 The statement in the Scout last
week that asserted that tfie tax
rate for Cherokee County will be
increased 22 4/10 cents was an
error.
The error came about when the
tax rates for the different town
ships were amassed and the county
wide rate was mistakenly included
in the figures.
Actually, three townships will
get a decrease in rates. The town
ships and their rates are, Shoal
Creek, from $2.42 to 92.12; Beaver
dam, from $2.43 to $2.12, and Hot
house, from $2.32 to $2.12.
The two townships that will see
an increase are Valleytown, from
$2 to $2.07, and Notla, from $2.02
to $2.12.
The Murphy Township rate re
mained unchanged.
