Commissioners Cut Estimate Of Expenses For 1927-28 To Bone The Randolph county board of com missioners must raise by tax levy to meet actual operating expenses of the county government for the current year ending June 30, 1928, the sum of $335,518.91. This amount repre sents the budget total arrived at af ter long consideration of the county’s actual necessities, and after estimated expenses of every department of the j county government had been cut to i the lowest possible figure. Every un-1 necessary item of expense, so far as the commissioners and the heads of the various departments of govern ment could ascertain, and many of those items considered necessary but without which the county would be able to function were either cut out entirely or reduced to the minimum figure. This budget estimate, prepared un der provisions of the county govern- j ment act passed by the last general j assembly of North ^Carolina, must be: met by money derived from tax levy, j Under the law money cannot be bor- ! rowed to meet the running expenses of government as has heretofore been the custom in several counties of the State, among which Randolph has been no exception. An example of borrowing for running expenses was afforded the people of the county un der the two years of Republican rule which ended the first Monday in De cember, 1926. Such wholesale bor rowing and spending of money cannot happen again in the county while the county government act is in force. This last Republican adminis tration borrowed and spent more than $500,000 in two years, creating in that short time an annual interest of approximately $30,000 which is now being paid and will be paid for sev eral years by the taxpayers of the county. Interest on all the county obligations now amounts to about $100,000, off as much as the entire amount of ttaxes collected not many years ago.

Jackson, before Justice Hal M. Worth on charge of seining in Uwharrie river. The quintet pleaded guilty and were let off with the minimum fine and cost, all of which amounted to more than $60.00.

Are Enforcing Law Seven jfien, W. L. McCulIom, Coy Henson and Hagen, Melvin and Speck Phillips, all of Star, and L. S. Smith and E. M. Moore, of Samarcand, cam* to Asheboro Friday and submitted to violation of the game law incurred shortly before by chasing a fox ia Randolph county. The seven pleaded ignorance of the law and the case against them was dismissed upoa payment of the minimum fine and the costs. Open season for chasing foxes in Randolph does not open until No vember 1st, and those who chase Rey nard before that time are doing so ia violation of the State game law as well as the county law. The State game law made no change in the county law with reference to foxes, and in no wise repealed county game laws. This is the first conviction under the new game law in Randolph this season. The County Game Commis sion is endeavoring to enforce the game laws without prejudice and without favor. Heretofore little at tention has been given to the en forcing of the county game laws and as a result many of the citizens of Randolph, even to say nothing of those who live without the county, have little knowledge of the law. Another game law case which came up Friday was that against Elsie Coble and Howard Kirkman, of Prov idence township, who were charged with shooting quail out of season. The case against these boys was dismiss ed when Hal Millikan swore on the stand that he was the man who fired the gun in question and that he killed a robin instead of a quail. The shoot ing of a robin out of season is under stood to be against the federal laws.

Ap parently this is what the surveyors are doing.
