C. 28782 Transfer Tax Bill Introduced N.C. Rep. Edith Lutz, D-Clevcland, introduced a bill in the N.C. General Assembly last Thursday which would allow Polk County commis sioners to levy a one percent tax on all land transfers. The Polk County Board of County Commissioners unani mously requested the measure recently as a means of relieving pressure on the county's prop erty tax, Lutz told the Asheville Citizen Friday. "When they ask for it, there's nothing you can do but put it in," she said. "I'm down here to represent the people." Sen. Bob Carpenter, R-Ma- con, and Sen. Clark Plexico, D-Henderson, also represent Polk County. They told the Citizen they are opposed to such taxes, but did not know whether they will oppose Lutz' bill. "I'm not really in favor of (the tax)," Plexico said. "I'm not going to stand in the way of it if that's what the folks down there want." The tax would be a drag on the economies of counties that adopt it, Plexico said. Carpenter took a similar stance. Jerry Stewart, chairman of the Macon County Board of Com missioners, told the Citizen the legislators' stand puzzles him. "Tliey'rc always mandating us to do things, but they're against raising taxes," he said. Polk County real estate agents also have expressed opposition to any land transfer tax. TUESDAY, APRIL 16,1991 Returns To Stage Bill Hughes, a newcomer to the area, is cast as the First Passerby in "Send Me No Flowers," the comedy Tryon Little Theater will present al the Fine Arts Center May 2-5. Hughes, a native of Ireland, says he has been absent from the theater for a long time. All his experience has been i Ire land, where he appeared in var ious plays by Shakespeare, in addition to lesser known plays, such as "Rugged Poth” and "The Old Geyser," plus a num ber of plays in the Irish lan guage. The holder of a Master's degree from Florida State Uni versity, he moved here with his wife from St. Petersburg about three months ago. In Florida he had been working in the field of rehabilitation of the disabled. In "Send Me No Flowers," Hughes plays the part of a pas serby, who is a good Samaritan, as well as a good mathemali- (Continued On Back 1' .g 1 20f Per Copy Tanner Co. Joins Club at Red Fox Tanner Industries, one of the areas foremost corporations, has signed up for a company mem bership in The Club at Red Fox according to Bill McLennan, membership co-chairman. This signals a resurgence of interest in private ownership of this outstanding golf course, and points to a successful conclu sion of the membership drive, perhaps before the April 30 deadline. Company membership for a corporation such as Tanner enables it to designate two offi cials as members, and therefore generates twice the revenue from dues as from an individual membership. The committee working on the membership drive has met with great success, both with residents of Tryon and environs and with those who are plan ning to move here within the year. Any golfer interested, who has not received an invitation, may call 859-5685 for more information. Once the acquisition of Red Fox is complete, the board plans to limit outside play, and to restrict local area residents to possibly no more than three guests or daily fee rounds per year.
