This is a horizontal increase, and is made in lieu of a general revaluation. Last year was the time for the quadriennial revaluation, but~action was postponed. ; Faced with the necessity of making some decision regarding this matter, members of the board chose to save the expense of a revaluation. One result of this action will be that the tax rate for the county will be lowered for the next fiscal year, according to members of the board. Meanwhile, work of listing for | 1938 taxes began Monday and will continue until May 9. To Discuss Plan M Vfe.

In those counties, nearly 300 rural women are keeping accurate information on their spending.

Mr. Bint, photographer for the New York Times, spent Saturday here with the Civic Club and some interesting shots were made. They 1 will appear in early issues of the big New York publication. The Civic Club is still looking for the Fox Movietone News cameraman and when the wire was received announcing the coming of Mr. Bint it was at first thought that he was the newsreel man, and a suitable program was fixed up by the club. When it developed that it was press, instead of news reel, a hurried revisal was made and he seemed greatly pleased at 1 the pictures he was able to I secure.

Heavy seas, which Captain Tommie St. George described as "the highest I ever saw on a flood tide," made it impossible for several hours for the pilot boat D. H. Penton to approach closely enough to the Gulf oil tanker Gulf Trade for Pilot Robert Thompson to go aboard. One attempt, made at ebb tide, was abandoned before a second, successful effort was made about noon. The Texas oil tanker Virginia was in port at Wilmington and was ready to sail about midafternoon.
