Vaden was hove Satur day, ISTOKES WILL GET $26,850 AUGUST 1 Our Share of Funds Accumu lating From One Cent Tax On Gasoline—Money To Be Applied On County's Road Indebtedness. On or about August Ist the State will send to the several counties of the State their first allotment from the money de rived from the one cent per gallon tax on gasoline, and from this source Stokes will get $26,850, according to Charles Ross, attorney for the State Highway Commission. At the last meeting of the Stokes board of county com missioners it was the decision of that body to apply this mon ey coming from the one cent tax 011 gasoline to the payment of interest and principal on the road bonds of the county, rath er than the reduction of the tax for the maintenance of roads in the county. Statements are now being prepared by the highway com mission to be sent to the 100 counties each month showing each county just how much of the fund has accumulated to its credit. Under the plan of distribution worked out, the 1 counties will then issue requi sitions upon the commission for the funds available, which may' be applied to either the bond I [debts of the county or to road maintenance. Wake county, which will re ceive $68,400 according to the allocations, the largest amount j allocated any county in the 1 State, has notified the high way commission that it will ap ply its funds to pay interest on 1 bonds. Only 14 of the 69 coun- I ties heard from so far have indicated that their fund will be used for maintenance, the others requesting that the money be applied on local road I j bonds.

No. 2,980 MORE BUILDINGS FOR SCHOOLS Lawsonville and Francisco Will Get Duplicates Of the Sandy Ridge School Building If Money Is Available School Budget Approved By County Commissioners At Joint Session of Boards. If funds are available from either the regular school build ing fund established by the Legislature or from the liter ary fund of the State, Francis co and Lawsonville will each have erected nice brick school buildings as soon as possible. This was the decision of the Stokes county boards of edu cation and commissioners at a joint session held at the court house the past week, when the school budget was approved on the conditions as outlined above. And it is nfjre than probable that the money will be forthcoming from the State. According to the present plans of the county authorities the buildings at Francisco and Lawsonville will be exact dupli cates of the Sandy Ridge build ing, which was erected last year, and which is one of the best school buildings in the 'county. It is likely that these buildings will be ready for the fall term of school if things run , smoothly. With the completion of these buildings and the West j field building, which has al ready been authorized, it is stated that every section of the county will have modern school facilities, and the county auth orities are being commended in their efforts to give all sec tions of the county equal sahool advantages.
