Itemized Statement Gives
Reader Conception Of
City’s Finances
Financial statement of the city
of North W’llkes'boro, compiled
by Charles E. Hagaman company,
accountants and auditors, was re
leased for publication this week
and appears elsewhere in this
newspaper.
The audit covers the fiscal year
ending June 30. 1936, and gives
the reader accurate and depend
able information relative to re
ceipts and disbursements by the
city government.
In this connection there Is
certain Information of interest to
every taxpayer of the city, which
Is not included In the statement.
As an indication of the pro
gress and growth of the city over
a period of one year, city records
show that the assessed valuation
of property, real and personal, for
the year 1936 represented an in
crease of $200,331 over 1935, the
1936 assessed valuation being
$3,773,355.00 as compared to
$3,573,024.00 In 1935. This in
crease was brought about by im
provements on real estate and by
an Increase in the assessed valu
ation of personal property.
On July 1, 1931, the bonded
debt was $417,600 and on July 1
this year had been reduced to
$354,000, notwithstanding the
fact that water works improve
ment bonds were added In the
sum of $64,000 In 1934. Of this
amount $3,000 In bonds was can
celled because of unused funds,
leaving the net debt increase
$$1,000. Other obligations paid
since July 1, 1931, included $$,-
500 on fire eqnlpment This debt
hAK been paid and additional tire
eQuipment has been purchased
end paid for.
By agreement among the coun
ty commissioners, the Wilkes Bar
country association and the presiding
judge the term of Wilkes superior
court scheduled to begin on Mon
day, November 16, has 'been can
celled and will not be held.
The term would have been for

cases and Solicitor John R. Jones

cases scheduled for the term are
carried over until the regular
spring term of court in March,
1937.
The term was cancelled be
cause of the fact that the Novem
ber term of federal court will be
gin in Wilkesboro on the same

both courts.

Appeal Supported By Agri

A delegation from Wilkes and
Alexander counties returned yes
terday morning from Raleigh,
where on Tuesday they appeared
before the budget commission
asking that a sum .be appropriat
ed for orchard research work a-
mong the orchards of the Brushy
mountains.
A. G. Hendren, Wilkes farm
agent who headed the delegation,
reported that action on the part
of the commission was highly
favorably and that the propiosed
appropriation gained the approv
al of the body.
Among those 'vho appeared be
fore the commission were Coun
ty Agent Hendren, J. G. Hackett,
B. C. Price and Dewey Broythlll,
of Wilkes, County Agent Brown
and H. 3. Deal, of Alexander
county.
The appropriation approved
would be for financing a much
broader program of orchard re
search work calculated to be of
great benefit to all fruit growers
In the state. It was first proposed
that a fruit test farm be estab
lished but It was later decided by
the fruit growers to ask for more
research work among existing
orchards Instead of a test farm
or experiment station.
The fruit growing industry Is
now one of the major phases of
