Millers Creek and Mountain

WPA projects for the erections
of an adequate school gymnasium
at each place and for ground ini-,
provement and landscaping at the
schools.
At Mountain View the WPA
recently completed a modern
school building and Millers
Creek obtained a school building
through the Public Works Ad
ministration. At both places the
need of a gymnasium is felt, .-j
community leaders say.
T. D. Heffner, area supervisor
of the WPA, said today that iden-^ J
tical projects have been forward-'
ed for both communities, calling
for construction of a gymnasium,
of frame construction, concrete
walks, Improvement of grounds
and landscaping. |
The project at each place calls ’
for a total expenditure-of $16,;
184. of v.'hich the federal pov-|
ernment Is to furnish $7,373, andt
the community to sponsor $8,-|
811. I
At each place there is an old
school building and these would
be salvaged to obtain part of the
materials which would apply on j
the' sponsor’s share of the cost.
Mr. Heffner said school au-,
thorHlea at both Mountain Viewj
and Millers Creek have expressed

J. R.; Rousseau, state tax col-
'ector here, said today that the
new state law levying a tax on
intangible property has caused
undue misunderstanding among
many people.
As a matter of fact, he said,
owners of intangible property
will be required to pay less tax
under the new law because after
January 1, 1938, intangibles will
not be listed for city and county
taxes.
As an. illustration he pointed
out: A resident of North Wllkes-
boro with an average bink ac
count of $1,000 will pay only one
dollar state tax at the rat© of ten
cents on each hundred dollars.
Utotil the intangible tax law‘waa
passed Ihrtlng'Of th© hank' depos
it- for otty and county taxed was
required. Under present county-
and city tax rates the tax on
$1,000 bank d^osit would total
$23.45 as compart with $1 due
the-state under th© new law;.;
. ^However, taxes on Intangible
property lisfnd In. 1937 jnust be
paltf but intangible©' are not to
be listed for city and county tax
es in 1938.
Intangible tax reports must be:
filed to th© state before MaWh
1$. Mr. Roub^u said that thoee
who make a clean -breast of their
.Intangible© .belotp that flat© wUl
