No Taken
On Proposal For
School Buildings
Commissioners In Session
Monday Hoar Number of
People Concerning
Projects
Wilkes county board of com
missioners In recess session Mon
day heard discussions from a
number of people in regard to
the proposal to apply for $250,-
000 In public works funds for
school building purposes.
No action was taken on the
matter and the board will take
It up for further consideration
on Monday, July 22. Th® board
is coaaposed of D. B.-8w>t1igaiij
chairman, M. f. Absher and
Ralph Duncan.
In the meeting Monday C. B.
Eller, superintendent of schools,
outlined the proposal, which
calls for applying for $250,000
in loan and grant from the pub
lic works administration to be
expended for new buildings at
Millers Creek, Mulberry, Moun
tain View, Clingman and Ben-
ham and additions to Wllkes-
boro, Mount Pleasant, Roaring
River, Moravian Falls and Lin
coln Heights, the latter being a
colored school.
Several from the communities
in which new buildings or addU
tions would be erected appeared
befoft the board in support of
the proposal, which would call
for Issuing $139,500 in county
bonds over a period of 20 years
at four per cent, to be supple
mented by a direct grant of
$112,500. making the total of
$250,000 as the suggested a-
mount.
Opposition to the plan was
voiced by W. M. Duncan.
According to estimates made
by auditors and accountants the
payment of the $139,500 in
bonds and Interest would call for
a 10. cent levy on each hundred
dollars’ valuation of property
yearly over the '20-year period.

INCREASE OF 562 POIXS
Total Gain In Pickup In Tax
Listing Should Niet $5,000
In Taxes
Total valuattoh. of taxable
property In Wilkes county Ihia
year Is $12,463,473. according
to figures released today by T.
R. Bryan, county tax sni»ervl8or.
This represents a net Increase of
$330,928 over 1934.
This year 6,474 polls are list
ed on tbe tax books as compared
with 4,922 In 1934, representing
a gain of 552 that should net
$1,380 In taxes. Jax listers this
year listed 3,114 dogs as com
pared with 2,798 In 1934, Taxes
on the increased number of dogs
should net $321 In taxes.
The total gain In pickups
should net $5,142 In taxes, ac
cording to the comparison of the
1934 and 1935 tax scrolls. This
represents, to a great extent,
pickups in property, personal,
and polls placed on the books
ers and T. R. Bryan, the tax
supervisor.
As the result of the Increased
valuation and the Increase in the
tax rate from 80 cents to one
dollar Sheriff Somers will be
charged with $29,407 more In
taxes this year than the 1934
books called for.
All of the Increase over the
amount last year will go for
paying on the county’s Indebted-
