Board Commissioners Refuse lo Call Transylvania Liquor Store Election Transylvania county board of com missioners by unanimous vote Mon day. declared that their offices would not be used to call an election on the liquor question. With very little discussion, the mo tion was made by E. Carl Allison, of Cherr’yfield, and seconded by John L. Wilson, of Enon. Chairman A. B. Gal loway. of Brevard, who had already publicly expressed himself in the mat ter voted with the other two members, making the motion unanimous. "If there are enough people hi the county who want liquor stores set tip. Jet them secure petitions to call for an eleotion," the commissioners said in discussing the question. The law provides that if the com missioners do not see fit to order the board of elections to call a referen dum. then the way is left open by which 15 Per cent of the qualified voters signing a petition to the board of elections requesting that a vote be taken. The members of the board of com missioners said that they had found very little sentiment in favor of the election at this time, and that inas much as each of them were personally opposed to liquor stores, or for that matter in going to the expense of holding an election on the question, they could see no need for it. Rumor had it in Brevard last week that a delegation of citizens would appear before the board of commis sioners Monday and request that body to call for an election, but the delega tion failed to materialize. Transylvania county voted better than two-to-one against legalized liquor three years ago when the ques tion was carriea to the polls, and gen eral consensus of opinion here is that the ABC stores plan would also be defeated. Haywood County To Vote The Haywood county commissioners in meeting Monday adopted a resolu tion calling for an election on the li quor question, to be held the latter part of April. ( Golf Course Probably Be Operated By Town as Municipal Undertaking Brevard Municipal Golf Course Is much nearer being a reality.

Over three hundred taxpayers signed the petitions requesting the town to take over and operate the Brevard Golf course, and the paper, along with pledges In excess of $600 for mainten ance work was presented by Jerry Je rome at the Monday session of the council. Definite action could not be taken by the board Monday night, but members expressed themselves as being both per sonally and officially Interested, and promised to work out plans If possible whereby the town could own the pro perty. Consensus of opinion as expressed by the board was that the town would be willing to take the course over if there were assurance that the movement would be given proper support of the citizens. Large “Guest” List at Jail In February Transylvania county jail is seemingly a popular place, judging from the num ber of individuals who were "guests" registered there during the month of February. Only one man came back for a second visit during the month, the record which Jailer Buck McCall turned in to the commissioners Monday showed, and he has since departed to the prison camp down at Hendersonville. All sections of the county are repre sented in the guest list, and checking down the row of names, some of them were young men, middle-aged, and some few in the old man class.

Bonds Will Be Accepted on 1935 and Prior Year Taxes by County Bonds will bo accepted on debt servin' I portion of county taxes for 1935 and I prior years, until November 1. under an ] agreement which has been reached with principal bondholders of Transylvania. After reaching agreement with the bondholders, Representative I’at Klmzey introduced a bill in the legislature, which is now law, and allows the taking of bonds on practically the same basis that has been effective here for the past two months, with the exception of 1936 taxes, which must be paid in cash. Coupons, however, will not be ac cepted for more than 25 cents on the dollar in settlement of taxes, as this is the par value which the bond holders have agreed to settle for interest cou pons. The acceptance of bonds on taxes, will be In effect, the board of commis sioners point out, only so long as there are no legal steps taken by any of the bondholders who were not contacted before the bill was passed. Therefore, the board stresses the fact that while the bill passed by Mr. Klmzey sets No vember first as date when acceptance of bonds will be stopped, that any bond or notehelder would be able to stop this method of collection by entering a man damus suit. The tax collector was barred for 1 nearly three months by a mandamus court order last fall, from taking bonds 'on taxes, and the board points out that this is entirely possible again, hence the urge that tax payers take advantage of the saving at once. In connection with passage of the bill. Representative Klmzey sent the follow ing statement to The Times for publica tion : "Realizing that there are a consid erable number of people In Transylva nia county who desired to pay their taxes by using bonds prior to March 1, but were unable to do so on account of the lack of funds, the board of commis sioners, the county accountant and my self, as county attorney, have been mak ing a persistent effort to get the bond holders to agree that the tax collector may accept bonds in the payment ot the debt service portion of the 1935 and prior years' taxes until November 1. 1937. By this extension of time, taxpay ers of the county will have an opportu nity to obtain funds during the summer months and pay their taxes on practi cally the same basis as heretofore. "The bond holders have finally agreed to this plan. Under the tentative agree ment of the setlement of the interest on bonds now owned by Transylvania county, 75 per cent of said interest is to be cancelled and 26 per cent of said interest refunded on the same basis as the bonds. Therefore, I have passed an act repealing all former acts In con nection with the payment of taxes with bonds, notes and coupons and providing in said act for the payment of 1936 and prior years' taxes with bonds on the same basis as they have been used in the past, and allowing the use of cou pons at 25 cents on the dollar instead of at par value In the payment of taxes. The bond holders under no circum stances would agree for the use of honds in the payment of 1936 and future years’ taxes after March 1, 1937. There fore, the 1936 taxes and all future taxes will have to be paid in cash in order that we may consummate the settle (Oontinued on Back Pape) Aged Balsam Grove Man Buried Monday Funeral services were, held Monday afternoon from Shoal Creek Baptist church for Jesse Miles McCall, 89-year old farmer of the upper Gloucester sec tion.
