19.2 Per Cent
By M. R. DUNNAGAN
RALEIGH, Oct. 10 North Caroli
na's property tax levy was reduced
from the year 1930-31 to 1931-32 by
$12,228,000, or from $59,911,000 to
$47,684,000 or 20.4 per cent largely
as a result of the State operation of .
schools and maintenance of roads and
the legislative and administrative
economies made in local government,
Governor Gardner announces, on fig
ures compiled by the State Tax Com
mission. This decrease does not take
into account that the debt service of
counties increased about $4,000,000
for the period.
The analysis of the Tax Commis
sion shows that county levies were
reduced $10,055,000, district levies
$1,704,000 and municipal levies
$469,000.
From $171.00 in Dare and $324 in
Clay, the reductions ranged to $849,
000 in Mecklenburg and $750,000 in
Buncombe, other big reductions be
ing Gaston $449,000, Forsyth $402,
000, Durham $393,000, Wake $326,
000, Guilford $323,000.
Currituck made the greatest per
centage in reduction, 53.4 per cent.
Tyrrell and Columbus rdeuced their
levies 38 per cent, Warren and Vane
36 per cent, Northampton and Gates
35 per cent, Hertford 33, Richmond
31 and Johnston 30 per cent. One
county, Currituck, reduced tax levies
on property more than 50 per cent;
10 counties from 30 to 40 per cent;
50 counties from 20 to 30 per cent,,
33 from 10 to 20 and six less than
10 per cent.
G overnor Gardner points out that

CLUB NOTICE.
The Community Club will meet to
night at 7:30 in the club room.
Considerable enthusiasm has been
manifested among the farm people of
Carteret County concerning the rais
ing of wheat to be consumed locally
as flour and feed, since the News
printed a story about two weeks ago
in which County Farm Agent Hugh
Overstreet and the Carteret Mutual
Exchange were quoted as advocating
this agricultural project. Some farm
ers have talked with Mr. Overstreet
and others have corresponded with
Mr. Overstreet and others have cor
responded with him concerning this
matte;.
In an endeavor to be of most as
sistance to those who desire to plant
fall wheat for home consumption, Mr.
Overstreet asks the News to request
all farmers who desire to sow wheat
this fall to communicate with him
within the next day or two and let
hjm know the number of acres to be
devoted to wheat and all other infor
mation regarding their project. All
information concerning the planting,
culture nad so forth will be gladly
furnished the prospective wheat grow
ers by the county farm agent. Also,
if the farmers so desire, seed may be
ordered in bulk lots, states Mr. Over-street.
750,000 in one year, and more than
($9,000,000 will have been cutf rom
the General Assembly appropriations
in four years of his term.
"I am pleased to give this infor
mation to the people of North Caro
lina and I do not hesitate to say that
the 1929 and 1931 General Assem
blies did much more to reduce taxes,
and the cost of government and at
the same time to maintain public
service on an efficient basis than has
a General Assembly of any other
state of the Union in this period of
economic hardship' Governor Gard
ner said.
Carteret county's tax levy for
1930-31 was $451,226, which was re
duced to $364,59 for 1931-32, a to
tal reduction of $151,259, or a reduc
tion of 19.7 per cent in total prop
