IfiJt* lixttSXtlX $343,500 Budget Is Passed; Tax Rates Are Set Dunn’s city council last night approved a fiscal bud get which granted raises of roughly 10 per cent to all the city’s 50-odd employees. The new cost-of-living boosts will add about SIO,OOO to the present yearly payroll of more than SIOO,OOO. The biggest paycheck was ear marked for the man who isn’t there —Dunn’s nonexistent city manager, who will step into a $5,500-a-year job when he' comes. Meanwhile, the dew budget raised to $4,800 a year the salary of Charles R. Storey, the .employe who is doing the city manager's job while the council seeks a suitable man for the post. It was brought out at the meet ing by Mayor Ralph Hanna last night that two city manager appli cants are under consideration now. One will definitely be called back for a second interview, he declar ed, while the second one may also be quisled. Names of the appli cants were not released. BIGGEST 'SINGLE CHANGE The biggest group change in salaries will pome in the police department, employing some 10 men on a yearly payroll of over $30,000. The raises will bring their combined salaries to about $38,000. debt service. $21,000: and public utilities, $116,960.

Harnett ftoad Share Sliced to 9 Miles No news turned out to be badi sjews for most Harnett County I road-seekers Monday. The county j >card Interned all MUnmjffl ' 'She miles of new roads foS the coming year. Out of this amount, the county fathers allotted 3.9 miles to Erwin for the paving of city streets there. One mile In Averasboro Township , on a link running from the Jones boro road to the Newton Grove road was approved. A half mile of road will be grav eled and widened In Black River Township. This stretch runs from Lewis and Henry Wells' farm to that of Mrs. E. P. Lewis. This leaves only four more miles of roads to be allotted during the year. STREETS IN BAD SHAPE The sad plight of the Erwin citizens where 343 homeowners recently bought sites on dirt streets from Erwin Mills caused the commissioners reluctantly to give Erwin, an unincorporated town, a lion's share of the allotment. Thomas West, business manager of Erwin Local 250 of the Textile Workers Union of America, appear ed before the board and told the commissioners that, there are now 8.6 miles of unpaved streets in Erwin. Since the Individual own ers have bought the propetry from Erwin Mills, the mill has relin quished all responsibility for the streets^ “The streets are In bad shape now and they’ll get worse now. that all street work has stopped,” declared West. He said that ditches are clogged and that water Is standing in pools around many houses, creating a health hazard. The commissioners, appreciating the. distress of the Erwin resi dents, agreed after discussion to give Erwin some of the precious mileage. • r COULDN’T GO HOME - Chairman Lofton A. Tart said (Continued On Page Five) - 1 Time Extended “Under the provisions of the amended Defense Production Act, Uie time for completing payments on the unpaid balance for new and used cars has been increased from 15 to 18 months, enabling many wage earners once again' to acquire the dependable cars they need,” Henry H. Sandlin, local Ford dealer and, Area Chair man of the North Carolina Auto mobile Dealers ‘Association, de clared today. “Congress should be commend ed for making automobile credit controls more realistic,” i Mr. Sandlin added. “The nation’s 'economy will benefit from the removal of the drastic terms which were seriously affecting our industry and, as a result employment and national eco nomy. Our economic state is such that you cannot put crip pling curbs on the nation’s sec ond largest industry without ad versely affecting other indus tries. AIDS LOW-INCOME GROUPS “Under the new credit curb limitation, for which our State and National organizations fought successfully on behalf of the nation’s motorists, many ih the lower income group will be able to buy replacements for then pre-war cars.” Mr. Sandlin stated further that thousands of these pre-war cars have been kept in service through necessity even , though they were no longer economical to operate, and in some cases, are difficult to keep In safe op erating condition/ “Supplies.of good automobiles, both new and late model used cars, are sufficient to meet all immediate needs,” Mr. Sandlin estimated. “The automotive in ustry will be able to assemble a reasonable number of new cars even under the current Govern ment restrictions on materials.” OPS Conference Set The Eastern Carolina Office es Price Stabilisation win send a • team of business analytiate to Sanford Wednesday and the c—lerence is open to all tout ness men of Harnett as wen «* I The meeting win be held at the Wltrik Hotel from U a. m. to 18:36 and from 1 to 3 In tho *ir > £Lnnch.g tho meeting. FIVE CENTS PER COPY ncrease Noted Food Prices WASHINGTON—«P)—The Agri culture Department confirmed to day what housewives have known al) along: food prices have gone up, especially meat. sls 400,000,000 for their crops dur ing the first seven months of 1951, a 17 per cent increase over the same period last year. The income Jump, however, was not all net gain. Farm cost—pro duction and living expenses—also rose 12 per cent during the seven month period, the department said. Meat and livestock products ac counted for $10,700,000,000 of the farmers’ ciop income, a 25 per cent gain over a year ag<f With mar ketings about the same, the jump resulted from a 25 per cent increase in prices, the report said. The $4,700,000,000 which farmers got for grain and fiber crops, how ever, was about the same as last year, the department said, with higher average prices offset by a smaller volume of marketings. But housewives could take some encouragement from a Bureau of Agricultural Economics report to day. It’ predicted that farmers’ prices, edging downward since last February, would slump even fur ther during coming months with bumper crops in prospect. The low er farm prices, the report said, should tend to reduce food costs. LIMITATIONS RELAXED The report added, however, that while food prices may fall at the farm level, they may go up at the retail level as a result of the new Defense Production Act. The hew controls law continues substantially the same price control standards for farm commodities, but relaxes limitations on processing and nw keting profit margins on all ma terials, including food. ****** plenty of yonm **mtr*t% on band to weteene her, Twill agree of coarse, that 0m 0W pretty addition to the scenery.
