Phillip Feagan
Appointed Attorney
For Social Service
In the 2 November 1981 County
Commissioners' meeting, Tax
Supervisor Buster Wilson
brought some very good news.
The railroads in North Carolina
felt they were paying
proportionately higher taxes than
other commercial and private
sectors. They thus refused to pay
for the last 8 years. The counties
banded together, hired lawyers,
and the first phase is over, on the
counties' side. Polk County, with
respect to commercial and
industrial properties, will receive
95.82% of the assessed taxes at a
cost of $1000. The
settlement on personal property
is in the works now
The Board will ask one final
time for the names of those who
use the services of the Soil and
Water Conservation District
office by next meeting.
Paul Culberson updated the
Board on the latest activities of
Western North Carolina
tomorrow. A projection indicates
that the school population in Polk
County will decrease and the
over-65 population will increase
by 2000 AD
In other business, the Board
appointed Faye McIntyre to the
Adult Education Committee, and.
upon the request of the Social
Services Department, appointed
Phillip Feagan as their attorney
for a 1-year renewable contract,
