Property Owner Will Pay Less Than Half of Last Year's Levy Transylvania county tax rate was set by j the board of. county commissioners in their meeting Saturday at $1.55 on the hundred dollars, setting a new low level of taxation in j Transylvania county. This new rate was made in face of a re- \ duction of fifty per cent in real estate values j effective with last listing, which cut the total j valuation of county property from approxim- j ately eight million dollars to around four. As a concrete example of the saving ef- ! fected: A taxpayer who had real property val- j ued last year at $'1,000 was required to pay j $16.50. With the new rate in effect, together 1 with the slice of fifty per cent in valuation, the ' same taxpayer will, for 1933, pay $7.75, or ; over 52 per cent saving. . Under the new rate adopted by the com missioners, personal property owners will also realize a saving of one dollar on the thousand. ; All departments of the county government have been cut to the minimum in the budget as , made up by the commissioners, the debt serv- j ice fund requirement being largest of all ex penditures to J3e levied for. j BREVARD ROY WINS | TOP TENNIS HONORS! i Duncan MacDougald Is Now Champ i ot 1 of Western North Carolina . i Duncan MacDoUgald II, son ofj Mr. and Mrs. Duncan MacDougald; of near Brevard, who has been play- ; ing tennis since he was a small ladj and has been winning matches for) almost as many years, won the sin- 1 gles championship of the second an- ? nual Western North Carolina open] tennis tournament by default August] 13, when Dr. Charles Padgett, of; Waynesville, was unable to play af ter a strenuous series of matches i prior to the finals match.

AH School Children Must Walk Two Miles Under N. C. Bus Regulations If the r&in and sieet be falling so thick and faitt that a child can only see ten feet in front, it will have the privilege of walking to school this winter, whether or no a half-filled school bus passes it by and is going j to the same destination. This is taken by the Transylvar ia ? county board of education a? the meaning of the new .-school law aa set up by the 1933 'legislature, and inasmuch as the schools are operat ed by, and strictfy under the state regulations, the rule will have to t* adhered to, Cnairman J. M. Gallo way is of the opinion. The law in this particular instance is taken by the board to mean that "no child who lives within two miles of the school which it attends will not be allowed, under, ar.y circum stances, to ride a school bus." This rule has a single exception of a maimed or deformed child, who will be given preference. The matter was thoroughly gov ? into at a meeting of ihe whoc ! board, principals a n d interested citizcns .held in the t foonty court house Saturday mornirg, when O.
