HUNTLEY 'STATES
: HISCASE1GAIN
Says Town Hat Paid Too Much
For Coal Predicts High
..; '?':r;' r Tax -Rate
'". .. .
To the Editor of Beaufort News:
COUNTY. AGENT. WILL
HELP -SELL WOOL
- - Would appreciate your placing the
.' following facta before the Taxpay
ers of this town. ' '
First I would like to say , that
v I feel iio fll will toward any individu
' al to this matter. Circumstances
, have brought the cost of malntain
.,, ing the town government to the point
where nothing less than a decided
increase in the tax rate- can be ex-
pcted, but this advance cannot con
tinue indefinitely. Feeling that the
Town should at least complete work
now underway before undertaking
new projects, and that the 'cost of
the Town Government should not be
allowed to advance t a time when
.... every well organised business in the
country is observing the strictest
economy by cutting the cost of oper
ation in every possible way, and
that the Town, Administration is not
practicing economy that i should at
this time, and that I am not able to
cope wih conditions. I am placing
these facts before you that you may
review them and giys an expression
of opinion in order that I may get
out if I J am on the wrong track,
thereby allowing some one to replace
me who will pull with the other oiBc-1
ials, for I realize that it is my duty
to carry out the wishes of the peo
ple. In order to do so it is neces
sary that they get my angle of condi
tions, "that they may' intelligently
criticise.
It is true that. the Electric Light
Plant is operating at a loss. This
is generally understood. The prin
. ciple cause for this is the day cur
rent. Another loss and one that ,
costs the Town several Hundreds of;
. dollars and also proved to be the
reason for my first break with the
Mayor was the price the Town was
compelled to pay for coal last year.
The 1021 coal contract as signed by
theCommUsioners carried a clause
, protecting the Town against a de
cline in market price on coal. The
shippers refused to accept the con
tract containing this clause and the
Commissioners refused to 'sign any
other. For some reason unexplain
ed at that time, coal continued to roll
in St 13.75 per ton, against s market
considerably Wlow this figured As
the Mayor did the buying of this
item without sdvice at anytime from
the Eoard we were not familiar with
his methods. But I immediately start
ed an investigation of my own, with
the result to quote from letters
from Easte.-n Coal and Export Corp.

by the railroad officials today. (, . - ; .
V . Twf Possibl Loophole t
The certain rejection of the union
proposal therefore left In the opin- . ,
ion of railroad men, but two possible
loopholes to avoid issuance of the
strike call. ' '. ,, , i
One was that conference be-
tween th union leaders' stf3 the ex-, - ;
ecutjves t might be called tomorrow
and if no agreement was reached a ,
technical dispute might b niiounc-
ed, over which th railroad labor .
board, acting under authority of
the transportation act, could take '
jurisdiction as it did In h Big Four
brotherhoods' strike last year and -act
to prevent a walkout
' The other was that if th strik is
called th board could also take jur
isdiction under th act, en th ground . '
that th strik would interrupt com- .
merce, and order th men back to
work.
