Free-Holders Call For State School Standards During Coming Year # Only Few Items Approved Above State Allotments for Six Months Schools; Demand Extended Term On Same Basis; No Action On Cutting Farm Agents Operations of the city and county schools without local tax funds to supplement the State appropriations for the six months contf itutional term with certai.m exjoep’Jions designated, and operation of the two months ex tended term on the same basts was asked of the county authorities by a group of Free-Holders League of Vance County at a meeting held last rvfght In the Citizen Realty and Loan Company office, and which was pre sided over by J. H. Brodie. Economies in the operation of va rious departmments of the county government other than school* were recommended also, but a proposal to cut out the farm and home demon stration agents was not ac'ed on, other than that when the proposal was made it was brought out that the county pays only' one* hird of the cost of these workers, the other com ing from the State and Federal gov ernments. The meeting was at'ended by mem bers of the Free-Holders Lc ague and some members of, the Board of Coun ty Commissioners, the County Board of Education and the boa: J of trus tees of Henderson township schools.

The county budge' report showed a rate this year of 40 cento, as compared wlPh 29 cents last year and explained the increase, due to a smaller sup porting budget surplus than last year and a reduced valuation of property. It was recommended that regulai ly employed court hou.se officials and clerks prepare the tax books without hiring outside help.

Large economies L. feeding of prisoners at the county jail wore re quested, but no recommendations were made aa to the operation of the coun ty hospital and the Parker Sanatorium because “we have no way of ascer taining the number of patients that will have to be cared /or or the cost necessary for each patient ” But eco nomies were recommended. The report, said it cost *2.785 80 to operate the county accountant's of fice last year, and that outoide audi tors were paid $375, and that main tenance Hems for the coui«t house amounted to $1,915.07. i..eluding fuel, lights, water janitor service and re pairs.
