Love of Charlotte, N. C., secretary-treasurer of the Ameri can Cotton Manufacturers Institute addressed a civic club lunch here. He said the Japanese concern “seems significant indeed” In view of the fact that “deep and wide" tariff concessions on cotton goods granfeti to Japan by the U. 3.. Sfats -Department at the Geneva conference do not go into effect until Sept. 10. The fact that the Japanese them selves are beginning to recognize that a crisis seems in the making underscores the urgent need of a positive program of cotton goods import quotes imposed by the U. S. government, he said.

Before the week ends, some 17,- 000 tax notices for 1955-56 will be issued to county tax payers. Tax books were turned over to Ray last week by County Tax Supervisor Berles Johnson. Some tax payers will get a thicker notice than others. They are the persons who are delinquent in their 1954-55 taxes. They will get none too gentle reminder of those past due taxes with the new tax notice. Meantime, County Auditor Her bert Carson, Jr. reported that as collector of pre-paid taxes, he has collected $124,000 during July and August. Individuals and business firms receive a small percentage reduction for early payment of 1955 taxes and many annually take advantage of the reduction. Carson said a larger number than usual made pre-payments. He credited the increase in number of pre-paid payers to the fact that the $1.35 cent tax rate is ten cents higher than the $1.25 on each SIOO valuation which was in effect In 1954-55.
