COMMISSIONERS
CONFER ON TAXES
Sitting AN a Board of Equali/.a
tion Monday, They Didn't Have
Much To Do—Tax Kate On tlio
Toboggan
Visiting at the court lious.
Monday were H. L. Gibson, Har
vey Johnson and Preacher Joyje.
They were here sitting as a
Board of Equalization that is,
to arrange any tax matters that
come up, for instance, one man's
rate unfair or unequal as regard
ing his neighbor's.
But the commissioners dicl.i'i
find much to do. There were very
few taxpayers here to lodge any
complaint.
This shows that our Ho.!! ! ■
County Commissioners have •v -
dently been doing well and sa'.i. -
l'ying the people with a fair . s
sessment.
Last year the tax rate was
lowered from $1.65 to $1.25. And
it is whispered about the court
house that the commissioners
may cut again this year to .sl.
All of whi c h goes to show
that our able and conscientious
county fathers have an eye open
to the best iiiteres's of the peo
ple.

More Ligiit Coming
One of the greatest blessings of modern
times is the advent of electricity. Especially in
the rural districts is the blessing welcome.
Only a few years ago there was no light at
night in the rural sections of many counties of
North Carolina save the kerosene lamp. Now in
scores of former blacked-out communities in
Stokes county there appears after sundown the
blaze of electric light with its beauty, conven
ience and utility.
We notice from the great Duke Power inter
ests, that corporation's promise to soon add to
its existing network of 12,000 miles of rural elec
tric service, by the building of vast extensions - i
electric service to hundreds >r' new larm cus-
U mors.
This great system joins the magnificent
school ana road agenda in North Carolina
furnishing the needed and welcome light.
