=ST THE TRANSYLVANIA _ A Newspaper Devoted to the Best Interest of me People of Transylvania County VOL. 41: NO. 28 == BREVARD. NORTH CAROLINA—THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1936. $1.00 PER YEAR IN TRANSYLVANIA COUNTY TOWN TAX RATE TO BE CUT 30 CENTS ON HUNDRED DOLLARS County Rate Remains at $1.55 —Tentative Budget Filed By Each Unit Tax rates to be assessed in Brevard and Transylvania county for the fiscal year of 1936-37 were tentatively set Monday, with the county rate remain ing at the $1.55 figure, and the town's levy til ing reduced 30 cents on the hun dred dollars, or $1.34. Kxpemlitures of both units wee cut to the very minimum, the tentative budgets which have been filed, show, and in view of the slow payment of taxes during the past twelve-month period, it is regarded as almost miracu lous that rates in both the town and county were not raised.
