Liquor Car Ends Race With Loss I I For 1i) miles Prohibition Officers ; Bolt and Owen chased a liquor carl early Tuesday night, finally catch-| ing the laden auto on South Broa 1 j street in Brevard. Tipped off that the car was ex pected to come through Brevard about midnight Tuesday. Officers BoP and Owen left Brevard and were driving leisurely along toward Bake Toxaway where they expected to meet the car—but the driver had evi dently gotten better service than us ual in George, and the officers met the cal* just north of Bosnian, Quickly turning their car the of ficers gave chase to the "double transport.” but were unable to stop the loaded vehicle on account of the "taller." which persisted in keeping just in front of the officers and be tween them and the liquor ear. A few wel placed shots, however, soon toll the "tailor" that the officers meant business, and he- pulled out of the way. The officers forced the liquor car to the curb in front of Dr. R. B.

COUNTY TAX RATE BE IN $1.60 RATIO Revaluation of Property In complete; Slight Reduc tion Is Possible Transylvania's estimated tax rate for the 1937-38 levy will lie around $1.60 on the hundred dollar valuation, according to figures released by fho board of county commissioners follow ing their meeting Monday. The commissioners spent the entire day going over the budget, taking each item of estimated expense, and making harsh reductions in some departments. It is possible that the rate will ho lower than the tentative figure of $1 fill arrived at Monday, due to the fact that the revaluation of property is not completed, and it Is expected that an Increase over tin- previous year’s valu ation will reduce the rate some for tho estimate made Monday. One dollar on the hundred will go for debt service, which is In accordnnea with agreement made with bondholders in the refinance program which is well underway at this time. !1 was pointed out by County Ac countant Ralph T.yday that the $1.00 debt service levy will take rare of the reduction in principal amount of the outstanding bonds as well as the inter est. due to the fact that a lower rate of Interest has been secured on the re finance program. For the past several years levy has lieen made only for sufficient amount to care for in'erest payment, which was not realized. The old age nnd child assistance program which Is now being put into effect throughout the state, will cost the county an additional 14 cents this year. Final figures on the rate will not he made up until July 26th. when the revaluation of property is expected to be complete, and at which time the hoard will meet to adopt the rate for the year.

License Fees Will Be Charged for Programs Carl Felmet. deputy collector ct stnte revenue, was in Brevard last week and while here pointed out the fact that the state was supposed to collect a license fee of $25 from each group or party which put on a benefit perform ance to which charges were made, un less the group was composed entirely of local people and the show was being staged for benefit of a civic or church organization. The state collector said that a church or other organization which brought n group of entertainers here from any outside source, would be held responsi ble by the state for the $25 license fee. In addition to the state tax, there is also a county tax of the same amount, which the county expects to collect from such charged-for entertainments. This does not apply to local entertain ments which are gotten up entirely by local people, and from the proceeds of which no outside director or party Is paid any.

'Pension Not \ Understood Says Officer Mrs. t\ Y. Patton, welfare officer and superintendent of the old age assist ance pension and child assistance work in Transylvania county, said the first of this week that her office was being swamped by people who did not under stand the plan, and that it was impos sible to interview all the people who had been calling at her office. It will be impossible to take on any ne%v applications before July 26th, Mrs. Patton said, due to the fact that the ! state board has ruled that applications of all those people who have been re ceiving federal aid relief be signed up first. However, the local office has secured quite a number of names and addresses of old people who are ellgi ble to apply for the old age pension, a« well as dependent children, and that these applications will be taken as fast as possible after July 26th. It is found, Mrs. Patton said, that many people have a mistaken Ide* about the old age pension. All people who are 65 years old or over are NOT eligible for the pension, it was explain ed, but those who are entirely without other means of support, and who do not have members of their immediate family In position to support them.

The mash was just about ready for the run, Sheriff Shuford said, and it is entirely possible that a lot of "whoops and hollers" went to waste out on See Off mountain when the barrels were chopped to pieces. The copper still and copper worm were brought to town by the sheriff and will tie sold to the highest bidder (for Junk) after it has been fixed so that it will not be fit for doing the job it was originally Intended for.
