Board of Education
Has Meeting Monday
At a meeting of the Board of Ed-'
ucation here Monday in the office of
J. G. Allen, superintendent of Car
teret County Schools, the applica
tions of teachers for the coming
school year and the funds for the
present fiscal year were approved
and forwarded to the State Depart
ment in Raleigh.
The financial requirements for run
ning the county school system were
discussed from the standpoint of
collecting taxes, but the adoption of
the school budget and the tax rate
was deferred until the Board of Ed
ucation meets jointly with the County
Board of Commissioners on July
24.
Committeemen appointments were
cone into, but these will not be an

State has run a deficit that will be
around $14,000,000, due to discrep
ancy between estimated revenues
and appropriations by two sessions
of' the General1 Assembly, and the de
pression which has been almost coin
cident with the Gardner Administra
tion. The Ehringhaus regime start
ed in the worst period of the depres
sion, but has reached in a few months
what is considered the upward turn.
It may turn out to be one of the most
satisfactory four years in history.
State employees, including school
teachers, will be in the midst of a
hard period of two years, if prices
continue to rise, as now indicated,
and living costs increase. State em-
the county has been approved by the j
State Department.
The contract for auditing the rec
ords of the Board of Education was
awarded to W. L. Stancil, subject to
the aproval of the State Department.
A resolution passed at Citizens
Meeting in the Court House, Friday
evening, June 23, was filed with the
Board, which requested it "to do each
and every of the things that may be
necessary to seperate the functions
of the Board of Education and all its
agents, servants, employes and of
ficers from any and all connection or
dealings with the R. F. C, or Coun
cil or other subdivision thereof, to
H that tViP confusion attendant
jupon the administrations of the said
R. F. C. works may not either ham

to undermine, the efficiency of the
presently organized educational struc
ture in Carteret County." This reso
lution was signed by R. B. Wheatly
and C. T. Chadwick.

At a joint meeting of the Carteret
County Board of Commissioners and
the Board of Education held here
Monday, upon motion offered by Com
missioner Fulcher and seconded by
Charles V. Webb, J. G. Allen, who
is superintendent 01 the county
schools, was appointed by the two
boards meeting jointly to be Super
intendent of Public Welfare for Car
teret County. All members of the
Board of Education and all members
of the Board of Commissioners were
present at this session.
A committee from a Citizens' meet
ing held in the Court House Friday
evening, June 23, which was compos
ed of W. H. Bailey, Rev. Worth
Wicker, and J. F. Duncan appeared
before the Board of Commissioners
and filed with that body a resolution,
which contained the following points:
It .requested that the Board appoint
as a Welfare Officer a person "equip
ped by training, experience and in
dividual bent, and special capacity,
rather than a person selected by
reason of his relation to some other
position or person, or because of the
fact that it may be apparently nec
essary to supplement a bent-budget;"
and it went on to say that resolution
was motivated only by a sincere de
sire to have the welfare department
operated so that the objects of the
proposed benefactions may receive
the greatest value from the proposed
service."
The State Highway Commission
will be requested by the Board to
take over and maintain approximate
ly two miles of dirt road in the west
ern end of Straits community. This
was the result of a .request made by
a delegation from that section.
The County Auditor was instruct
ed to correct the listing of 35 acres
of C. G. Wade, land in Smyrna Town
ship, this to apply for the past two
years.
It was ordered that Hopie Conway
be allowed $5 per month from the
poor fund for three months.
Caesar Rose, upon order of the
Board, will be allowed $1.00 per
month from the poor fund for two
months.
It was ordered that tax penalties
heretofore imposed for the year
1932 will be released, discharged
and remitted, and that no penalties
will be charged, until on and after
September 1, 1933. All collections
made of 1932 taxes by the tax col
lector was approved by the Board.
The tax colector was authorized
and dirceted to advertise 1932 de
linquent taxes as now provided by
law, with sale to be made on the first
Monday in September, 1933.
It appeared to the satisfaction of
the Board that payments in full have
been made upon the basis authoriz
ed by law, it was ordered that the
chairman of the Board be authoriz
ed and directed to transfer and as
sign, in the name of Carteret Caunty
to O. W. Lewis tax certificates num
ber 547, 1867 and 2116, and certifi
