Southeastern Section in Hazard ous Condition, Official Finds oa Inspection Tour Unusually heavy forest fire dam age will be experienced in the south eastern section of North Carolina this fall unless the public cooperates ful ly with conservation forces in forest fire prevention, W. C. McCormick, assistant State forester said upon re turning from an inspection tour of the area. Mr. McCormick said he found un usually high fire hazards through out the territory extending from Un ion to Carteret counties. He said the undergrowth was heavier in that section than had been the case in year$. “Unless every means is used to pre vent forest fires in this aiea, the whole country will burn up,” he said. We may expect to experience heavy forest fires in this section during the next 30 days unless the strictest pre cautions are exercised. “We are intensifying our efforts to be ready for a severe season. Forest fire lookouts will be assigned to manj the towers immediately and we are starting to plow’ fire lines from 30 to 100 feet wide as a check to the spread of flames. Because of the rap id growth of vegetation it will also be necessary to return last year’s fire lines. “Forest fire prevention in the southeastern section of the state will be strengthened by the establishment of CCC camps at Laurinburg and Southport. The main body has al ready moved in at Laurinburg and it is expected that the Southport unit will be occupied by the end of this week. “It is noticeable that areas where fire protection has been furnished for several years there is an ample sup ply of game. The only deer which I saw killed on the trip was in a fire- protected area. “We urge hunters to be carcful with fire. Carelessness on their part with fire will ,do more to hurt their sport than anything else at this per- 'iod of the year. Where fire spreads over an area all wild life will either be burned or driven out,” said Mr. McCormick. Rate Comparison Present, New Flat and Induce ment Rates Under N'ew Schedule of C. P. & L. Co.

It is thought that around 25 students will be served on this route. This brings the total number of busses in the county for the colored high school students to seven.

Out to reduce the automobile tax before the 1935 General Assembly, the North Carolina Automobile Own ers Tax Reduction League, with head quarters in Charlotte, cites that mo tor vehicles in North Carolina the last fiscal year were assessed at $45,209,- 427 and paid a tax of $22,522,478, or almost 50 per cent, which "would be considered confiscation of property if levied against any other commodity,” in a pamphlet just issued. Legislative program of the league includes: 1. To reduce license plates to $5; 2. To secure reduction in the 6 1-4 gasoline tax; 3. To oppose di version of gasoline tax from the high way fund to the general operating fund. An appeal is made to automo bile owners in the state includes the following: 1. That the automobile owners of North Carolina, rich and poor alike, have a right to use their highways without being taxed to death by the State, and 2. That automobile taxes are so high now that the owners are paying more than 50 per cent of all taxes paid to the State government. The organization opposes the di version of highway funds, collected from the motorists for a specific pur pose—building and maintaining high ways—to other State purposes, and contends there is a surplus in the fund due to restricted construction by the 1933 General Assembly, which various groups will be seeking in 1935 to divert to their own pet purposes.
