ADJUST TOBAC CO CONTRACTS At a meeting of the County Committee on the tobacco sign-up for Franklin County held in Connty Agent Morgan's office on Wednesday, figures were present ed by Mr. Morgan that clearly in dicated that one of two things had to be done. That the tobac co growers of the County who signed the contracts must pro dace bills to convince the govern ment that thei acreage and pound ' age signed is correct, or the acre age and poundage must be re duced. This reduction cannot be done by a horizontal reduction on ? all signers because of the fact > that many ^grower-signers have produced bills to prove their > acreage and poundage is correct as signed. Therefore unless a 1 large number of signers are will ing to accept a larger reduction than they might think they are entitled to, it would be wise for them to get their bills or copy of their sale bills from the Ware houses they have sotd with the past three years. But the com mittee will be forced to report a horizontal reduction on all those who fail to show bills to prove i their acreage unless a voluntary reduction Is agreed upon, or their acreage and poundage proven. County Agent Morgan, who at tended a meeting in Raleigh on Tuesday of the State officials in charge at the sign-up and at which members of County com mittees of the entire State at tended, gave his committee the following figures that were given to him as the ones the County had to meet: Allotted figures ? for 1931. 16. 843 acres, 10,762,677 pounds: for 1932. 8,700 acres, 5,046,000 lbs.; for 1933, 15,402 acres. 11, 816.071 lba.

The public It cordially invited BOARD OF EDU CATION MEETS The Board of Education met on Monday with 'all members present. The minutes of last meeting were read and approved. The following resolution offer ed by E.' L. Green and seconded by J. H. Joyner was carried: "Whereas, it has come to the attention of this Board that there has been circulated a report la the Pearce School Community to the effect that this Board was considering the question of con solidation or abandonment of th4 Pearce School, and whereas such a report Is absolutely false and? without foundation since no such question has been considered or even discussed by this Board, and whereas no such proposal has been made either by this Board or the County Superintendent of Schools to the State School Com mission. A "Now therefore be it resolved: That this information be given suitable publicity." It was brought to the attention of the Board that there were sev eral abandoned school buildings | in the county rapidly depreciating in value and that now was an op portune time to salvage these buildings with the help of funds to be derived from the C. W. A. and the P. W. A. or other Federal agencies to effect a great saving | to the tax payers of the county. The Board agreed that this aban doned school property should be saved but it had no desire to sal vage or otherwise dispose of a building situate In a district wherein there Is an outstanding bonded indebtedness incurred in the erection of the building unless this district bonded Indebtedness was permanently assumed by lh? i county as a whole. Since the old Cedar Rock Academy building la the only abandoned structure In the county with an outstanding bonded indebtedness, upon motion of E. L. Green and seconded t?y W. A. Mullen, the following res olution was adopted: Be it re . solved: That the following no tice be given suitable publicity in the old Cedar R?ck Academy School District. "To the People of the Old Ce dar Rock Academy School Dis trict: "It is tbe duty of tne boara ot Education of Franklin County to dispose of all school property not. used for school purposes. The Board of Education does not de sire to dispose of any property which has been erected by a spec ial district bond issue unless the comity will permanently assuma the bonds, thus relieving the dis trict of this financial burden. If this property is disposed of by this Board, this Board will re quest the Board of County Com missioners to approve the per manent assumption of then bonds. If this property is not disposed of, then it is the sense ot this Board that the special tax should be levied in this district. The Board of Education will meet in Its office Friday morning. March 30th, at 9 o'clock and will be (lad to hear from any interest ed citizen residing In this dis trict." The question of accepting the principal without interest as full payment for the J. S. Howell note due the Louisburg School was brought before the Board. The Board decided it could not legally do t6is and appointed A. F. John son and E. L. Green a committee to confer with the County Ac countant. Mr. W. N. Fuller, in re gard to this note. The Superintendent was In structed to repair the roof on the Louisburg building as soon as funds were available.
