Bell - Harrii Furniture Co. 77 Jp Sf f ful E ALL SECTIONS OF COUNTY HARD HIT BY STORM MONDAY Reports Indicate That Effects of Storm Were Felt in Va rious Sections With Vary ing Damage. Damage from the rain of last Mon day was general throughout Cabar rus county, reports received here dur ing the week indicate. ’ Reports received here Tuesday prov ed that in some sections streams caus ed heavy damage but full reports were not ava : lable until Thursday and Friday. These reports show that while some sections of thd county es caped damage from swollen streams, there was some damage almost every where from one cause or another. Correspondents writing to The Con cord Times almost without exception mentioned damage from the rain and some of these correspondents .told of. heavy damage. This was especially true in those communities which are served by the larger streams of the county. - Cotton and corn apparently suffer ed more than any other crops, al though thero was some damage beans and other fresh vegetables. The reports are almost unanimous, also, in pointing out the damage suffered by farmers in the loss of valuable, soil which was sAvept away on the crest of the flood. There was considerable lightning with the rain but no ser : ous damage from this source has been reported. In Concord the lightning heralded the coming of the storm and then prac tically ceased, as the sharpest stroke came before the rain started. Trees were struck in various parts of the county but the damage was almost negligible. CITY BUDGET NOW GETTING THOUGHT OF CITY FATHERS It May Be That Budget Will Be Completed For August Meeting of Aldermen. — Tax Rate Not Known. City tax payers may know after the August meeting of.the aldermen what taxes they will have to pay for this year. It became known today that Mayor Harrier, City Clerk Harris and Aider man Howard, of the finance commit tee, have been giving much thought during the past ten days to next year’s budget, and the tax rate will be de termined as fcoon as the budget is com pleted and the total valuation of tax able property is announced. The budget will determine the amount of money needed for the vari ous departments and the report of the tax assessor will determine th« amount of property available for taxation. The rate, of course, will be determined by the two factors. At their July meeting the a'dennen directed that a" tentative budget be submitted at the August meeting if possible, and the city officials charged with the task hope to be able to sub mit their report at that time. How ever, they cannot make a definite re port until the taxable property valua tion is known. It is known that the officials hope to be able to make a reduction in tjie ! tax rate for the year. They would not state that a reduction will be possible but/intimated that everything possible will be done to make such a saving possible to the tax paters. C. N. Field, city tax collector, states that all city taxes for this year have not been paid and that property owners who have not matje their pay ments will see their property adver tised for sale in the immediate fu ture.
