(Times Staff Photo Report From Duke EPIC Expansion Program Termed Tax Evasion Scheme At Tuesday** Meeting Commerce Directors Support A Favorable Vote In Election Directors of the Brevard Chamber of Commerce have gone on record in support of the one cent local sales tax increase that Tar Heel voters will go to the polls to vote on this November 4th. This action was taken at Tuesday night’s regular monthly meeting of the chamber in the library. County Commissioner “Guls” Siniard and Brevard Mayor R. F. Bennett, both directors of the Brevard Chamber of Commerce, explained to the other directors and members in attendance just what the one cent sales tax increase, which will all stay right here in Transylvania, would mean He*g Dr. Mallory Noted Psychiatrist To Write Articles On Mental Health The Transylvania Times is beginning a series of articles on Transylvania’s Health pro gram. They will be written by Dr. James David Mallory, Jr., Psychiatrist from Highlands Hospitals, Asheville, who is assisting here with the pro gram. In addition to his professional duties, Dr. Mallory is quite an entertainer and in much de mand as an after dinner speak er. His major Interest, besides Psychiatry in general, has been the relationship between Christianity and Mental Health. He plays both the 13-string —Turn to Page Five to both the city and county. It was pointed out that, based ,on last year’s sales figures for Transylvania, the one cent in crease would bring' approximate ly $205,000 in increased revenue into Transylvania. Of this amount, a certain percentage would go to the municipalities of Brevard and Rosman, while the remainder would go to the county. It was pointed out that this opportunity to bring additional tax money into this county by means of a sales tax increase would probably he the only such opportunity that will arise. Should the local voters re ject the one cent increase at the polls, the next General Assembly, in all likelihood, will pass such an increase any way, and the individual coun ties of the state would not benefit like they will if the in crease is adopted at the polls in November. After much discussion on the subject, the directors voted unanimously to adopt a resolu tion favoring passage of the pro posed sales tax increase. In other business, the direc tors authorised the finance committee to make funds available, if necessary, to the merchants division to assist in their Christmas lighting program this year. A report from the highway committee was heard, and the directors were shocked to learn that there is apparently no record at the Highway De partment in Raleigh on any proposed plan of construction of the Williamson’s Creek Road from Brevard to the Du —Tan to Page Saves “A tax evasion scheme that in 15 years will cost the tax payers over three hundred million dollars.” That was the charge leveled by Duke Power Vice President J. P. Lucas, Jr. at the massive statewide generating and trans mission system bpi”” proposed by the state’s municipal and co op electric systems. The state’s cities which are in power business and the electric cooperatives recently announced a plan whereby the cities would build large generating plants and the co ops would build over 7,000 miles of transmission lines. Backers of the plan said that the work would begin in 1975 and be completed in 1990 at an estimated cost of $1.75 bil lion. Mr. Lucas noted that the $1.75 billion was in terms of present costs and the actual cost would be many millions more by 1990.
