Boys who have graduated, or who, for any reason are net attending school this vea<- will not be allowed on the field while practice is being carried on, is another new ruling that is row in effect, judging from the statement made by Professor Juues on Wednesday. Games will not be played this year on school days, the new ruling will say, due to the fact that a large per cent of the students are in the habit of cutting classes on days that games arc to be played away from home, and sometimes at home, which causes a hold-up in regular clast work on the following Monday, pro fessor Jones said.

TOWN TAX RATE SET I AT $1.70 BY BOARD Reduction In Valuation Is Big Factor In Causing In crease for 1933 _ Tax rate for the town of Brevard was set by the board in their meet ing Wednesday night of last week at $1.70 on the hundred dollar val uation, with 50 cents »f the amount, for general expense and $1.20 for debt service It was pointed out by the board members who were in favor of the increased levy for 1933, that cutting I real property valuation in half had materially lessened the amount of assessed valuation, and further that past due bonds and maturities had also increased during the past year, j 'this rate being the minimum that | could be levied for. Rate for 1932 was $1.27 on the | hundred dollar valuation, with 29 cents general fund and 98 cents for debt service. While this rate is higher on the hundred dollar valua tion it is pointed out that the tax payer owning real property will in reality pay a less amount for 1938 than in 1932 by reason of the de creased va'uation, A person owning real estate in 1932 on the tax books for $1000, paid $12.70 in taxes—under the re duction in value of fifty per cent and the increased rate the same tax payer will pay only $8.50, inasmuch as his real property will be on the books for 1933 at $600 instead of; $1000. Personal property owners will,' however, pay an increased sum. j NRA DRIVE MEETING WITH FINE SUCCESS People Pledging To Buy Un der the Blue Eagle In Transylvania With over 1600 family heads in Transylvania county already p ledged to buy under the NRA blue eagle, the drive for complete backing of the plan continues throughout the county, reports indicating that near ly 100 per cent cooperation has been given in Brevard and several com munites in the county.
