The Tax Collector was Instructed to accept one-fourth of the County valuation on the real estate listed by Eugene Yarborough, as a Town tax valuation.

DEMAND REDUC ED TAX RATE AT MKKTIMO TAX RELIKP AS SOCIATION Ri'ftoluUons Pmwl By Mining Vote ?Ala* Drnwnd Complete Audit Of All Mchool Funds ? Probably Go To Court For Relief. With a court house filled to al most capacity with people from practically all parta of Franklin County and adopting unanimoualy resolutions directing their chairman and executive committee to immedi ately bring suit against the Board of County Commissioners should they fall to heed the demand that the 1M1 tax be revised and reduced, The Franklin County Tax Relief As sociation held Its first County meet ing. after Ita formal organisation had been completed, In Louisburg Monday afternoon. President W. W. Neal presided and did the direct ing the meeting. In the beginning of the meeting when he was ex plaining the new method of organi sation he told his audience they would not depend upon the newspa pers to carry Information about their meetings, but would use a sys tem of letters written plainly and to the point, so that the meaning could not be twisted about, miscon strued and misunderstood. I Mr. Neal stated there was some thing aoing on in Franklin CountT that wag absolutely disgraceful; and assured his hearers they did not have to await an election to get rid of an officer. These conditions are causing our honest citizens to be war marked in the financial world. The honr has come, he stated, for the people to stand up for their rights. Although the Tax Relief Associa tion welcomed the new Board of Commissioners In office through ap propriate resolutions in which cer tain corrections be made In County affairs, this association was not even sufficiently recognized that their res olutions were recorded in the min uter. However, he did not consider the Board of Commissioners entire ly responsible for the conditions as part of It rests upon our leniency In demanding changes. Mr. Neal in discussing wnat ne | considered misleading influences in I the County stated the school author ; (ties took the lead in telling the lit i tie fellow how a special tax would | not affect him. when as a reality it would reflect in his rents and abil ity to obtain tbe assistance he needs. In connection with this and the method of foreclosing land for debts, Mr. Neal saw a condition wherein the big corporations largely owned or controlled by northern interests becoming owners of a large portion of the land in North Carolina and as a following influence they would bring about the mixing of the races, for instance, they would say "our children attend school with the ne gro, yours can do so too." He charged the commissioners with a violation of their trust by transacting matters of importance to the tax payers and making no re cord of It, therefore It was impossi ble to get full information in the court house. In his discussions Mr. Neal ex plained his references to Individuals meant no reflection upon them that | he was using that method of identl j fying the office he wished to speak I of. He appealed to all to go home | and explain the objects of the Asso ciation feeling sure that all those true sons of the Confederacy that still had red blood in their veins would Join hands with them in this effort to save the homes of the tax payers of the County. He denounced the consolidation plans made by the recent legislature and the State Equalisation Board for the method of consolidating the schools In Franklin taking the posi tion that to do away with the small community schools and bring the children to ISoulsburg and crowd them into the larger schools was un just to the child, and was unjust to the tax payer In Louiaburg who had a larger tax to pay than the tax pay er In the outlying district. He said that instead of the school funds being ov?r drawn the audi tors report of March 31 showed $1,887.70 on deposit but that the books should be audited and the au ditors at present employed had told him they had not, and were not, go ing to audit them. He couldn't un derstand why a contract should be made to audit one branch of the County's books and not all. He wanted to know what they were go ing to do about it. He referred to other organisa tions In the County Including the Democratic Executive Committee, stating that when they fail to rem edy the conditions It la up to you to act for yourself, and called upon them to let'a act today or dissolve the organisation and go home. He contraated advertising coats In foreclosing land tor taxes In Bun < Continued on Pare Two) SHERIFFS SAL ARY TO STAND WOWKX SHOW APPRKCIATION KXTKNSION WORK Tax Hooks Tuned Over to Tax Col* lector ?
