Houghton replies to
NEWSPAPER EDITORIAL
Latter Sent to Editor of Daily Tribune
in Reply to News Story and Editor -
HI- .
R. A. Doughton, commissioner of
the Department ot Revenue, in answer
to a news story and editorial which
recently appeared in The Daily Trib
une, copies of which went forward to
him, writes the following concerning'
the request for an auto license bureau
in Concord :
Dear Mr. Sherrill:
- V I am obVged to you for sending me
the olippings from the editorial and
news items of yohr paper in respect
to Automobile license station at Con
cord.
The question of the establishment
of any license stations was very care
fully considered by my Department af
ter consultation with the rtiairman of
the State Highway Commission and
the Deputy in charge of the Automo
bile Bureau here and others. At one
time tt was considered that it would
not be in the interest of economy to
the State to have any station away
from Raleigh and that adequate ser
vice could be rendered from here but
after most careful consideration and
with the purpose to permit the central
office at Raleigh adequate time to
handle .its business I decided to' es
tablish about twenty stations at differ
ent sections of the State in order to,
relieve the Raleigh office of the iur
mense work that would be required i
during the rush season of the delivery |
of licenses.
These places were established with j
the view of giving each Section of the
State service by sub stations and leav
ing no section at any great distance
from one of them. New me-binery
has been installed and the plate sys
tem adopted and we thereby hope to
practically eliminate mistakes,
j Each owner of a r e toe vehicle j
I which is fnMii will be scat a card
, from Raleigh giving the name, make,
I number, etc., of his car and the tax
due thereon. He will have nothing
j t» do except sign and return the card
j to Raleigh and have his license mail
ed in return and receive the same
promptly at his office or residence.
I Your article referred to postage.
All the postage that the car owner
will pay is the two cents upon his
envelope in which the card is re-
I turned: all other postage is paid by
| the State, There .is really no reason
why any owner of an automobile
sTtould be put to any expense besides
| the two cents postage in order to re
! eoive his license at his home prompt
, ly. The State is put to the expense
of checking the accounts, delivering
) the- liceuse. etc., to the sub-stations,
where they are established hud of
; course, the more stations the great
er the expense to the State.
rti addition to the above. Concord
is only a short distance from the sta
tions at Salisbury and Charlotte.
| P appreciate very much the liberal
oFer Coifrord Chamber of Com
merce to maintain a free license sta
tion at that point' v
1 With best wishes, I remain,
Yours very triily.

si'PEfeINTENDENTS OF
SUNDAY SCHOOLS MEET
Deride to Form Organization and
Meet Monthly—Give Support to
Bible Stop- Contest.
Quite a number of Sunday School
superintendents of the city met a'
the V. M. C. A. Friday night, took
action looking to the organization of
an association, give their approval to
the Bible Story Contest and discuss
ed various matters of peculiar in
terest to their church work.
The association of superintendents
will bo perfected at another meeting
to be held at the Y on Thursday
night. March lKtli. and it is planned
to have regular monthly meetings < !
the organization in the future. Prob
lems affecting their work with the
Sunday Schools will be dicussed at
the meetings, arranged primarily :i~
a clearing place for such problems.
In discussing the Bible Story Con
tent it was pointed out by sonic of
the superintendents present that 1
local committees already arc at woik
in the Chqrches which they repre
sented, and others stated that such
committees would be appointed at
once. It*was reported that 28 young
people already have signed up for the
local contest in the Second Presby
terian Church and the number is
expected to exceed 40 befofr the con
tests are started.
,It was decided at the meeting to
change some plans for the awarding
of prizes in the contests. Instead of
awarding local prizes at the con
clusion of the local contests in each
Church, it was decided to award all 1
of the prizes, final and local, aft r,
the. final contests have been held.
Winners in Groups C. and D. for
the older contestants, will be free
motor trips to New York and other
points of interest. Winners in group
,A upd B will be given gold prizes-
( r The three winners in each of the
I local contests will be awarded hand
{some book-mark ribbons, each ribbon
to be accompanied by a Confederate
I Memorial coin. ... |
, Yet, Concord Waa Turoed Down Too.
| Charlotte Observer.
I “The Charlotte Observer is ad
| vised by The Statesville Daily, that
its remarks on omission of Statesville
i ns a distribution point for motor car
! license Were not in support of Che
j demand that local offices be niain-j
I tained for that purpose .... but
' that what it had ill mind, and what
I it repeats, is that if there is to be
local distribution it should be gen
eral.” Aad all The Observer said
teas that while Statesville seems to
hi taking it out in talk, Concur I
comes forward with proposition to
maintain a local, office without ex-'
peqse to the State. Iphat appear
to bg considering the convenience “in ,
the light of the cost.”

McGill Street Baptist Church.
Lost Sunday morning the pastor of
this progressive church celebrated the
two years of his pastorate here by
reviewing the .general work of the
church eince 1013. The brightest
years of this period financially were
at the beginning of the seventy-jive
uiillion campaign—about two years.
But during the past two years there
has been greater progress made jn
normal contributions than in any two
years of the history of the church,
in spite of the fact that financial con
ditions in tfie industrial plants have
not been the very best. For the
two years past the additions to the
membership have reached close to tlie
two hundred mark. The Sunday
school has grown rapidly. W’e greatly
need more room. The basement of
the church is now being excavated to
make additional room. This will
give at least temporary quarters for
social meetings with a kitchen at
tached. It is ,proposed at an early
date to carry out plans discussed
last year in the matter of completing
the organization of a Mens' Brother
hood of the church. Lack of a suit
able room has delayed * this import
ant work. , There has been a deep
ening of the spiritual life of the
ehurch during the past two years.
The church is united In its fellowship
and hopeful of future progress.

campaign platform.
His Hogship declared that he
would take no issue with any meter
oroligists around the post office who
had consistently profaned his powers,
but that he hoped that Mr. Schoworm '
would catch a cold from wading in
the slusti Thursday. He also ex
, pressed the hope that his constituents
would find satisfaction in the fact
that his administration had been
ended ih Ohe grand whirl of glory and
snowflakes.
"Yes,” he declared, “I will be in ,
the fijjht for the people again next
year, regardless of wliat H. L. Menck

about r.ry ability.”
