A few weeks ago the County Su perintendent of Schools notified the ?onynittee and teachers of the Ogden-| Brasstown school District that their school must stop at slightly over six months as their funds would then be exhausted. The patrons realized that their children would not get proper credits with less than eight months school. What were they to dot A meeting was promptly called at the school building. This meeting was well at tended and the matter placed before the people. They did not hesitate but that night decided to have their 8 months school term. A committee was appointed with R. L Anderson as chairman and H H. Plott, W. B. Duvall, J E Barnard, Arthur Wood and others, for the purpose of extending the term. The teachers donated from their salnries in amounts ranging from $60 to $21. ??* '?..

Creation of a Tax Commission for Buncombe County is planned by the board of county coraissioners, it was learned yesterday. The commissioners will be compos ed of a chairman and two members. They will be appointed by the county board of commissioners. The tenure j of office has not been decided upon,' but it is probable that it will be two years. The question whether the members will be on a pert time or full time basis will' be (tetefttiined Intw ft i? probable, however, that the commis sion will function on a part time schedule until the business warrants the employment of the commissioners, regularly. ?, | No intimation has Ijeen given by' the county board whether the commis sion will be created in time for the listing of 1928 taxes in May. The board may wait until the county moves into the new courthouse, where facilities will be available for the Tax commision. t The Commision will have complete j chaige of the tax program for Bun-i combe county. This body will appraise property for taxes, make assessments and pass upo?*all complaints. All requests for readjustments will be submitted to the commission, and it will have full authority to make any adjustments found justifiable. The need for a body of this kind has been apparent to some taxpayers for several years, and the board of county commissioners is following the precedent set by the more progressive counties and boroughs of the country. The Buncombe County Commission ers hvae had the matter under con sideration for several months. They have consulted prominent citizens of the state and have found their com ment to be favorable. It was estimated that an activo yesterday thait the commision will save the county money. The commis sion will make complete cheek each year of all property in the county, and see that every resident lists his real and personal property for tax ation. It was estimated htat an aot^ve tax body can add thousands of dollars each year to the county's coffers. YOUTH INJURED WHEN DYNAMITE CAPS EXPLODE Bryson City, N. C. Feb. 7.*?
