ABERNATHY COMMISSIONER Is Elected to Fill Out the Unexpired Term of R. Horace Moore. " D. M. Abernathy, city tax commis sioner and purchasing agent for Char lotte, was yesterday afternoon elect ed commissioner of public safety to succeed It. Horace Moore, resigned. Mr. Abernathy will assume the du ties of his office next Friday morn ing. Following the custom of years in the city when an officer retires. Com missioner Moore recommended Mr. Abernathy for the position and he was elected by Mayor McNinch and Com missioner Wearn, both voting in fa vor of his election. In a resolution, introduced by Com missioner Wearn and voted unon by him and Mayor McNinch. Commis sioner Moore's resignation was accept ed with regret." Text of the resolu tion follows: "Resolved, that the resignation of R. H. Moore, commissioner of public safety, this day tendered, be accept ed, effective midnight October 31, 1918. "Resolved, further, that in accept ing the resignation of Commissioner Moore, we do so with sincere regret and desire to express our hearty ap preciation of his uniform courtesy, towards and cooperation with us, his fellow commissioners. And we also glady bear testimony to . his ability, energy, and integrity as an official of the city who has conducted his va rious departments with marked suc cess and who has at all times - stood for and upheld policies intended for the advancement of the city's inter ests commercially and morally. Mr. Abernathy was tax official in" the office of the county treasurer when he was appointed as tax com missioner and deputy purchasing agent for the city under Mayor Mc Ninch. to whom this department of the city government falls, and who has the authority to appoint such a deputy agent. His long familiarity with tax matters made Mr. Abernathy. an excellent choice for this position and his work under the commission ers has been such that they unani mously chose him for promotion to Commissioner Moore's office when the latter resigned. Mr. Abernathy is laid up for a few days with a broken rib and could not be seen following his election. Ha gave out the following statement for publication, however: "I regret to learn of Commissioner Moore's resignation, as he has made a very capable and efficient official. My official association with him has been exceedingly, pleasant, and all of us at the city hall will miss him. "As to my own ' election, I hardly know how to adequately express my appreciation of this expression of con fidence in me by the commissioners under whom it has been my pleasure to work. "I can only assure them and the public that I shall endeavor to dis charge the duties of my office for the general good -of our people, indus trially, socially and morally." ARE 1447 AUTOMOBILES RETURNED IN CITY A total of 1,447 automobiles, auto trucks, and taxis have been returned for city license at the office of the city tax collector, John M. Wilson, since June 30, the beginning or tne ns- cal year. "This is about all or the automo bile licenses that will be issued for thft current fiscal year." said Mr. Wil son toduyj, '-s the time for 'issuing licenses is nassed and only cars will be returned from this time that are newly bought. These figures repre sent about the highest that we have ever had here, and the number of mo tor vehicles that are on the books rep resent manv thousands of dollars' in vestment. The city gets from $2 to $3 from each car returned, witn a special license of $50 on taxis and for hire automobiles, which last year yielded $15,000 or more in taxes." The city of Charlotte stands prob ably at the head of the list, in the number of automobiles returned here for license. During the past twelve months the rate of increase in the number of cars has not been as great as in the few years immediately pre ceding, on account of war conditions and the reduction of output in force in many automobile manufacturing plants, which are on the other band engaged in important war work for the government and for the allies.
