C. D. Stevens reports that a sub
committee of the Joint Finance
Committee of the North Carolina
State Assembly, has been appoint

Schedules with an eye to repealing
or reducing that tax on shares of
stock. A public hearing On the
question is scheduled for Thurs
day, March 5th, at 2:30 n. m., in
Raleigh. Anyone supporting or ob

notify Chairman Roy Taylor from
the House or Chairman Nelson
Woodson from the She ate bv tele
graph or special del'vorv letter to
day if they are deeply interested.
The North Carolina League of
Municipalities officials are opnos

and counties get 80 per cent of

85 million. The cities don’t want
to lose this money. Tryon’s share
last year was $1,800. However,
many business and civic leaders
claim that Tryon and the state as
a whole loses much more on ac

people who move into the state
and get tlm:r income from sources
outside of the state, want to become
legal citizens, but will not do so on
account of the tax. Conseo.uently
