This will be an increase over lust yeur of four cerus on tno hundred dollar valuation. While the rate has not bee" defi nitely set, due to the fact that the listing of property is not yet com plete, it is opinion of City Clerk Harry Patton after adopting of the budget that the four-cent increase will be made necessary, as there w l be very little if any change in total valuation for the year. Major factor in causing the slight increase in rate is said to be dir ectly chargeable to delinquent tax-, payers, funds being required in the budget for foreclosure proceedings,! plus the fact that uncollectible items an also increased this year over the previous year, this item in the budget being estimated on a basis of , previous t h r e e-y e a r uncollected taxes.

Thul-day’s paper. j Will McKelvey who lives on route one. across the French Broad river, | has used the classified columns of, The Times on several occasions anti j always found that it paid him. so he ! has gotten into the habit of turning, to the classified column as soon as | he gets his paper on Thursday to j see if there is anything that is « M.rticulau' interest to him. Last Thursday he saw Hale Siniard s ail about the lost pig. and forthwith he ; remembered just where he had seen the pig hut a short while before.

COUNTY SCHOOLS TO ; BEGIN TERM AUG. 29 Student Bus Drivers Seen As Compulsory—Deed Made To Calvert Church Plans for opening all Transylva nia county school- were perfected at a meeting of the board ol education in the office of Superintendent J. B. .Jones on Monday. All members of the board. Dr. C. L. Nevyland; Mrs. Flora Holliday and Edgar Reid, were present. Much concern was expressed by members of the board over the fact that it now looks as if Student dri vers will have to be used on all buses for transportation of children. The state school commission noti fied local authorities several weeks ago that $8.50 per month would U maximum allowed by the state for school bus drivers, and that in the event the board deemed it unwise to use student drivers, local suppm* ip cut would have to be provided. The county commissioners in meeting Mt nd'ay felt that the matter was one that should be taken care of by the state and refused to levy local taxes for supplement to the drivers salary. Members of the board who were interviewed feci that students should j not he used for drivers, especially on I some of the more hazardous runs, stating that with from forty to sixty children on a bu-. a careful adult driver should he provided for hu es on mountain roads, and at the same time expressed the view that, competent adult drivers could not be secured for $8.50 per month, the amount allowed for drivers by the state. Deed for the Mt. Moriah school property was made over to trustees of the' Mt. Moriah Calvert church for use as a cemetery and church grounds. The plot of land which lies adjacent to the church was sold at public auction several weeks ago and the church was high bidder. WPA Projects Being Made Up By County And Town Officials County and town officials have conferred with W. E. Brcese, dis trict head of the Works Progress Administration, with a view to work projects here. The commissioners are asking as first projects for the county several roads of secondary nature, and have several other short stretches of farm to market outlets under considera tion. Applications for road projects are made up by Ernest Webb, dis trict highway engineer, who is high iy pleased over prospects of getting road work done that he feels is needed here. The town will ask for paving of streets, completion of the North Broad street sidewalk, bridge and sewer work. All labor costs on apprved pro iects are paid by the WPA. Mr. Brcese told officials here Monday, and a part of the material cost, thus enabling local governmental units to secure worthwhile improvements at a very small cost. W. A. Wilson, former head of the relief office here, has been appointed ' a-' engineer for Transylvania, Hen derson and Polk counties.

To cap it. ( off, Clayton threw wild to third and | the man loped home for the only] counter of the game for the visitors, i and worst of all the tally that kept Barley from having a shutout which] he deserved. The Brevard lineup was mater-; ially aided bv the addition of Char-: ley 'Deal, former centerfiolder for j Brevard College, who played an cx j ( optionally good game in the right, field pasture and hit a long double ; in the third inning that scored two! men. Brevard’s entire team perform ed creditably, and with the excep tion of the double miseue in the sec ond inning, played headsup ball, j Queen, second saeker for the vis-1 it,,i -. starred at bat, getting two I doubles and a single out of four time-', and scored hi> team’s only run.

Dog Vaccination Not , Effective This Year; Dogs in Transylvania county will' r.ot yelp and howl from vaccination , against rabies, at least for many i months. , .... The 1935 legislature passed a bib providing that all dogs be \ an hi nted, either by licensed veterinarians or by inspectors appointed in earn township of the several counties , The cavvination period set lip in the j 1935 law began or. April 1st anil j closed July 31, with provisions made j for furnishing the vaccine through i the state department of agriculture | at. 25 cents per dose, the inspector to ] receive a fee of 25 cents, thus cost- i nig dog owners fifty cents for each j dog vaccinated. Transylvania is one of a number j of counties in the state that failed. to get. the inspectors appoinod in i time to lake advantage of the state j offer There is no penalty for non- j compliance with the law by off!- j cials of tlie county, a penalty being j provided however, where a deg owner refuses to have his animal vaccinated when inspectors haw been duly appointed and are caiying out provisions of the law. It is probable that the vaccination will be carried on here beginning neXt April.

Meat Prices Soaring With Shortage Very Evident In County Meat prices are soaring with the sky seemingly the limit. Beef cuts arc beginning to look so rare that, l ibstew will soon be a. delicacy to f the average home. Pork chops may reach the high point where a dollar . bill will wrap up as big a piece of this delicious meat as the dollar wil buy. Chicken will trail along with; pork and beef in the price climbing , trip, and Methodist preachers wi-lj very soon he urged to “have some • more of these delicious potatoes” in-1 stead of “just one more piece ol this., white meat.” Transylvania county has a short age of hogs, there not being half - enough pork raised here this year for j home consumption. Transylvania county is short of : 1- Cl' cattle, less than one-fifth of i required amount of beef being raise.-! this year to supply the demand for j heme consumption. Transylvania county is vastly de ficient in poultry, probably one-third of the required amount of poultry being raised here this year to supply ; the actual demands of home con sumption. , ,, | No need of preaching about tn need of more hogs, more beef, more chickens on Transylvania farms . ■ the facts are evidence sufficient Chicago markets reported Tuesday ( the highe-t prices on meat in a live year period with June shipments in-1 to the world’s largest market the. smallest of any month in 50 years.
