Back Tax Discount .
J Possible lb 1932 {
Accounts Settled
In order for a property owner whose
property tax is in arrears for the pas!
five years or less to take advantage of
the discount of ten percent allowed by
the 1933 General Assembly, he must
pay his 1932 taxes first, the Vance
Board of County Commissioners have
decided, it was revealed today. The
legislature provided that back tax ar
rears might be settled at a ten per
cent discount as far back as 1927, and
that such a property owner might then
recover his property. But Vance has
taken advantage of the provision
•with respect to the 1932 tax account,
in order to present a clean bill of
health. The discount will not be ap
plicable to 1932, it. is understood.

No F ire Loss In
The Month of May
A perfect record with no fire loss
at all was made by Henderson dur
ing the month of May, Fire Chief
E. T. Shepherd reported today.
There were only two calls to the
firemen during the month. One of
these was the result of a short- cir
cuit in an automobile, in which the
loss was too insignificant to rec
ord. The other was the destruction
of a residence in one of the colored
sections of the city, hut was out
side the city limits and thus does
not go on the record as chargeable
*o Hendei-son’s fire record.

Announcemeni was made- today by
Professor W. D. Payne, principal of
the Henderson hgh school, that the

during the summer would open next

get off to assure their promotion to
the next grade in the fall are advise:’
to report at 9 a m. Monday at the

Prof. Payne sad the staff for the
summer school had been completed,
and will be composed of Mrs. W. M.
Weir, for English; Miss Julia Bthea,
foieign languages; Professor Crowder
for science and Professor Payne for
mathematics.
All pupils who are in any way in
terested in the summer school courses
are advised to leave their names im
mediately at the office at the -high
school, to the end that the classes.may
be arranged for the greatest conven
ience of those who will attend. There

Prof. Payne said, the matter being
entirely optional. But i' is very im
portant that all pupils considering the

Th? classes will be conducted for
pupils desiring to remove a condition.
Pupils may remove a condition on one
semester’s work by attending classes
one hour per day for six weeks. •or

ing basis: Three hours per day for
-eight weeks, or four hours per day

Payne slated. It will also enable the
