CHAIRMAN OF ROAD BOARD MAKES AFFIDAVIT THAT STATE MENT ABOUT CULVERT BEING SHHTED TO LUMBERTON IS INCORRECT. A statement made by Mr. G. B. I fattiqrson his Pech in Lumberton . "JrXy - 111 " i ' wusu t 'e twuuijr uvuk v. juuiiiwi wit is yroren inturicv 111 uw following affidavit by Mgr. L. T Brown, chairman of the "county road, board: NORTH CAROLINA, ROBESON COUNTY I. T. Brown, being duly sworn, de poses and 'says that he was in Lum berton on last Thursday and heard Mr. G. B. Patterson speak at the court house, at which time Mr. Pat terson made a statement that the road comission of Robeson county had bought culvert from the Dixie Culvert and Metal company' to the amount of approximately fourteen thousand dollars, and that every- bit of the culvert bought was shipped to Lumberton. At the time that the aforesaid cul vert was bought from the Dixie Cul vert and Metal company, this affiant was chairman of the road commis sion of Robeson county, and he is positive that the statement of Mr Patterson is incorrect; that there was ordered by the road commission of Robeson county four caf s of culvert which cost $13,940, and that the cars ' inn. nn if n-A u. . . . valuation up beyond its actual revaluation will fail of its purpose unhss it re- i duces the taxes. Why Divide? People as a whole, to the people who don't want office. e aeciarea ; Mr. Varser showed that after pay ing salaries of officers, $13,000- was earned last year from these offices, as a help to all the people to reduce taxes, but that iLnew counttes were created the salaries of 3 sheriffs, 3 clerks of the court and a registers i ueeas ana every coun ty had tev have those officers would amount td at least, $27,000,; and there would be a deficit: of $13000, to be paid in tares, instead of paying that much back into the county fund. He said that the auditor says he put on the tax books last year proper, ty that had not been on, the taxes from which more than pays his sal ary. New Hanover, he said, pays the clerk to the board of county com missioners a salary of $2,350 a year, as he 13 informed, whereas -, -w - the register of deeds in Robeson performs that work with no additional pay. ' If salaries are too large, said Mr. Varser, the people can reduce them, that is a question for the folks tc decide. If three counties are made it will not add an acre of land or a singly soul, so the same people and the same property will have to hear the burdens of three county govern- ments instead of one. Thre counties would have to pay, $27,000 in sa'aries for officers re. quired by law, and that would not be I a rtnrter. You simply cannot ru i three counties a3 cheaply as vou cani35 puri: in tha -s.-hnl Hn-- i.l run one. said the speaker. J . 1 I - I Mr. Varser told how one of the main complaints of the divisionists has tumbled like a house of cards. On Tuesday night before the first Monday in May a division ist in a speech had told how iniquitous the county depository law was, how hard, amounting almost to impossibility, it was to get the public -funds out of Lumberton. In a letter dated April 30, giving reasons why the county should be divided, it was stated that financial interests in Lumberton had made it so no other banks- could get the public funds. But on the first Monday in May a - Maxton bank got the fun is, and now no more is heard of that. And that, said- Mr. Var3er, is a fair sample of the appean tnat have been made to the people tc stir JP Fi c' c- - He understood, Mr. Varser said, that his opponent had said flt a spe.ech that day that Lumberton township was spending the county's monsy on road improvement. Mr. Varser, raid he had laarr.ed that not only was that not true, but, that Lum berton township was spending only 82 per cent of its $100,000 bond issue xm its own roads and was sperding 1S per cent, of its own-money, on the ro.j or another township.
