Alfred Griffin, negro, presented the needs of the negro school at High Point. Friends In sesaton here were oonvlnoed that the negro problem Is purely southern and -that the progress of this race Into better things should be a matter of deep concern to the church. A committee was appointed to investigate the needs of the High Point school and to propose a means of support. The report of the evangelistic and church extension committee was pre-' sen ted. A history of the Friends1 church of this state was given by the superintendent and at the close of his address the meeting stood en masse In appreciation of the excellent and untiring services given by the church superintendent.

Mr. Bude spent suf ficient time in each missionary field to acquaint himself thoroughly with the needs. His description of the evangelised African was graphic. The church budget gives the largest amount of money towards the furth ering of the missionary work. Coal Conference Is Making Progress, Operator States III aiwrUteS tnsa) Cleveland. O., Auf. 11.

Mayor Clauds Ktaer said yesterday that he was confident the rata would not be more than the present rats and that every indication now point ed to Its being a few oents less. He and City Manager P. C. Painter, City Clerk W. L. Murray, and other of ficials have been- working for the past two . weeks on the budget and the tax rate. They hope to have It ready for the council meeting Mon day. A decrease of five cents has al ready been announced by the school board. The spealal fund rate, which takea oare of Interest on bonds, will not be Increased ovet Its present rate of S6 cents and may be possi bly decreased a trifle. There will probably be a alight Increase In the general fund part of the total rate, which means that probably more money will be used for the actual conduct of city affairs. The rate is made "up of three parts; the school tax, which now la it) cents.; the special fund tax, now 3$ cents; and the general fund tax. now 27 cents. The schol part now ts In turn di vided into 40 oenta - for the schools and 10 cents to create a fund to pay off the outatanding Indebtedness of the schools, which Is approximately JJJ0.00O. During the past year the school board undir this rate was able to keep within Its budget by more than a $15,000 margin and to pay off about 1100,000 of the old debts. It decided several weeks ago on a J6 cent tax for running ex penses and another 10 cents to con t'.nue on the Indebtedness, a total of 45 cents. On the special fund tax, now IS cents. Mayor Klser expects no In crease. Although bonds have been issued during the past year, the city, by preparing in advance to meet them will probably not need more than It has had. The water bonds are self-sustaining and three-fourths of the paving bonds are paid by property owners. Thus far 1400,000 in street bonds have been issued but of this amount the city pays only about one-fourth, of 1125,000 In round figures. During the past year the city patd off about IK. 000 In bonds; the In crease there will not be much. If any at all. More Important still, by adoDtlng the policy of oreatlng a, sinking fund for all bonds, the city is now In a more sound position to ward Its bonded Indebtedness than In many years past. In this respect it leaped ahead of most of the other cities of the state by a full year. The recent munlolpal finance act made It mandatory that municipal bonds should be serial and that pro vision be made for paying off past PEDESTRIANS ONLY ON ELM FOR THE FOLLIES Street Will B Roped Off Against Vehicular Traffic Store Win dows to Be Especially Dreued Mayor Claud Ktaer told the en tertainment committee of the cham ber of commerce yesterday that Elm street from the station to the O.

All "patrons of the school are urged to be present. bonds. Oreensboro, however, had already established that policy and had a full year's start on most ether oltles In establishing sinking funds. "It hurt last year to do It," the mayor said, "but this year It Is the other cities which are having to scrape hard to get their sinking funds started." On all old bonds the city already has these funds started. Mayor Klser regards It as sound business policy. Out of the general fund comes the money to run the city. Including such expenses as the polloe depart ment, the health department, the fire department, and all the every day business of city administration. Last year 17 cents was used for this fund, an Increase of two cents over the year previous. This year It will probably be a trifle higher but even then the mayor does not think It will be aa high as most Cities In the state. The additional revenue for the general fund will be required for such developments aa health work. Although the program has not been definitely agreed upon, it la practical ly certain that extensions will be made In thla respect. The school board wants a full-time physician to handle the schools alone. The women of the city, through the District Nurse and Relief commit tee and the city federation, have asked for a dealth department head ed by a whole-time physician. Ths council Itself has agreed that Im provements are to be made. Out of the different suggestions a new health policy is being developed. Other Improvements during the year will mean more cost, ths new Incinerator, for Instance, garbage hauling, and street cleaning, to men tion only a few. The council re gards all these as sound business In vestments and as necessary for the city's welfare. Incidentally, the mayor said, the city had collected more In taxes than had been thought possible. Special license taxes, dog taxes, regular taxes, he thinks have been collected more carefully. In automobile licenses something like 14.000 more has been collected than before; In dog taxes. something like 11.100. By still more careful work he thinks It possible to obtain for the general fund, with a slight increase in the rate, enough to carry out many of the needed Improvements. No accurate check has been mane yet of yie total valuation of tne . city. It was sngntiy nigner iasc year than had been figured. This year It is thought by the city cf flclala to be possibly a shade lower, or somewhere In the nlghtborhood of 147.000.000. Present plans call for considera tion of the budget and the tax rate at the Monday meeting of the coun cil.
