The Hear ing is the yearly opportunity for citizens to share any grievances they have regard ing the tax assessment rate on their property for the year at this week's meeting is set to continue at the May 3rd meeting. Three individuals and one church came before the Commissioners to express their disagreement over then tax assessments for 1982. In other cases, citizens drew comparisons between the tax es* levied on their property and other tax levels on similar property belonging to other owners. Mr. Pete Jacobs, our Tax Supervisor, was on hand to give the Commissioners an account and background de scription of the properties in question and was helpful in explaining the exact nature of the grievances of the citizens. Mr. Jacobs reminded those in attendance that grievances can only be brought before the Commissioners for the present year. In response to these grievances, the Com missioners took 2 cases under advisement and lowered the tax grading level for one homeowner. IN OTHER ACTION the Commisoners (1) Accepted die low bids for buying chemicals for the, Maxton waste treatment plant; (2) Approved spending $11,700 to cover extra expen ses for school garbage pickup in the county; (3) approved spending $5,000 for.the Green , ffck Fund A* part of a promised $50,000 package. SPEAKING FROM THE CORNER This meeting is the first time that I have witnessed a Hearing of the Board of Equalization and Review. It was a real education to see how citizens that do feel they have been treated unequally in their tax assessments can investigate then own recrods and others in the tax office and then come before the Commissioners and express their grievance. Mr. Jacobs was very helpful in explaining the property and tax matters to both the commissioners and the citizens. 1 would suggest that any citizen inte rested in witnessing an Equli zation Hearing plan to come to the Commissioners meet ing on May 3rd when the Hearing will continue. That meeting, the first in the month, usually begins at 5:30 p.m. ? "J' ^I I Turquoise, according to folklore, brings prosperity in love. - --v - - - - - j-'V1 A , v->V )B ITU ARIES ? ' ?

And we thank God to have lived to enjoy the day with our family and friends. Jesus suffered so much for all mankind he gave His live that everyone might be saved and have life ever lasting but his persecutors crucified him on the cross and they resisted the preaching of the gospel of Christ. And they were contrary to all men and cared nothing for pleasing God. But such conduct would not go unpunished. Their actions against God were filling their cup of iniquity to the brim which would result in the wrath of God being poured out upon them. Chris tian living must include love, consideration and godly con cern for one another. BIBLE READING FOR THE WEEK PSALMS 52il-2 "The fSol hath said in his heart there is no God. Corrupt are they and have done abominable iniquity. There is none that doeth good.
