Magazine Sees Boost In State, Local Taxes State and local governments will be spending at least 50 per cent more in 1970 than they did in 1960, or more than 75 billion dollars, and taxes to finance the spending will grow propor tionately, according to Changing Times, the Kiplinger Magazine. An article in the current issue of the magazine reports that state and local taxes have climb ed over 10 per cent in the last four years and over 40 per cent since and “the end is no where in sight.” Although not all the money for state and local spending comes from local levies, the ar ticle points out that more than two-thirds of 1959’s 49 billion dollar outlay was financed by taxes. “Tax rate increases come in waves,” the magazine notes.

Pearce Seedsman EDENTON. H. C. ■ “Because of political resistance, communities tend to lag behind in meeting their requirements. Then as pressures build up to in surmountable proportions, gov ernments try to catch up all at once.” From all present signs, the article adds, the next big tax year should come around 1963 or 1964, in the following gen- ! eral patterns: Taxes in big urban complexes will go up quicker than in [towns or rural regions, as people keep migrating toward the cities. Taxes in suburbs will go up faster than in adjacent cities. Though cities want to rebuild to halt inner decay, they can raise taxes only so much lest they scare out even more people. Tax rates in industrial states will increase more rapidly than in rural states, again reflecting the population movement. Taxes in big rural states will go up more than in smaller ones. Such states as Montana, Idaho and Wyoming must tax a sparse population to finance roads across the wide-open saces. As for the kinds of taxes which will climb the most, the editors of the magazine foresee • increases in the following: Gen- ] eral sales tax, personal income tax; special sales taxes, with gas taxes likely to increase the most, liquor taxes the least; property tax, local income ' taxes. If the outlook seems bleak, the ' article concluded, look at the brighter side: “You may have to shell out more, but your children will go to better schools, you’ll drive on better roads, you'll get better hospital care. For taxes are the price of progress.” Mrs. Rhoades Dies After Brief Illness Mrs. Holland M. Rhoades, 72, died Sunday at 6:30 P. M., in Chowan Hospital after an ill ness of two days.

"RECAPS' PERRY ■ °MI M DUM imV' AN 0 ” E Kssassr“i Bill Perry “Bite PERRYS Station -ggu r^972l CHRISTIAN SCIENCE Mankind’s need for a spiritu ally meaningful set of values will be brought out at Christian Science services this Sunday. Keynoting the Lesson-Sermon on “Soul” is the Golden Text from Psalm 62: “My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my ex pectation is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation.” From “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy this passage will be read: “Mortals must gravitate God-ward, their affec tions and aims grow spiritual— they must near the broader in terpretations of being, and gain some proper sense of the infin ite —in order that sin and mor- j tality may be put off.” (p. 265). | A citation to be read from the: Bible (Matt. 16) states: “Forj what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” Changes Announced For Hatteras Ferry Due to the reduction in the number of daylight hours, the State Highway Department has announced a change in the early morning and late afternoon ferry trips across Hatteras Inlet. From now until the regular winter ferry schedule goes into effect, the first trip will leave Hatteras each morning at 5:00 A. M., instead of 4:00 A. M., and the last ferry leaving Hat teras in the afternoon for Ocra coke will have a departure time of 5:00 P. M., instead of 6 P. M. Leaving Ocracoke, the first trip each morning will be at 6:00 A. M., instead of 5, and the last afternoon trip leaves at 6:00 P. M., instead of 7. The southern half of Hatteras Inlet is without lighted naviga tional aids, making it necessary to change the early morning and late afternoon departures. Highway officials emphasized that the State’s other ferries, op erated across the Alligator Riv er, Oregon Inlet and between Atlantic and Ocracoke, will con tinue to operate on their regu lar summer schedules until fur ther notice. | Taylor Theatre | EDENTON, N.
