MOST OF THE NEWS ALL THE TIME i NUMBER 34 eTax Rate 5 Estimated Commissioners Adopt Tentative Budget; Rate 7 Cents Higher Valuation Lower TAX BILL IS REDUCED Warren County's tax rate for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1934, will be 66 cents on the $100 valuation, according to a tentative budget adopted on Monday by the Board of County Commissioners and now on display in the office of Auditor P. M. Stallings. Last year the rate was 59 cents, but this year valuations were reduced 25 per cent, allowing a substantial reduction in tax bill when compared with amounts for last year. Total valuations last year were $11,234,151. This year they are $8,691,336. During the past fiscal year it required $67,134 to run general affairs of the county. This year $65,431, $2,303 less, is the sum that is estimated will be needed. In addition to the general rate of 66c, levies are also required for road bonds and school bonds. These additional levies by school and road districts are as follows: Road Levies Roanoke 60c River , ..30c Judkins 35c Pishing Creek 25c Hawtree 30c Fork 60c Nut bush 25c Warrenton 10c School Levies Warrenton - aio Littleton 50c Wise 20c Vaughan 12c Macon 55c Norlina ?2e Afton-Elberon 5c Drewry 12c A substantial reduction will be felt in the tax load in some of the school districts. Fixed debt service in others, coupled with reduced valuation, cause the rate to remain the same as last year in two of the school districts and to be actually raised in one of the districts. The greatest reduction in school rates occurs in the Afton-Elberon district where the rate W reduced from 25 to 5 cents on the $100 valuation. The Warrenton rate is reduced from 45 to 37 cents; that of Drewry from 25 to 12 cents. Wise Is cut from 28 to 20 cents, and Vaughan from 15 to 12 cents. The rate is raised 5 cents in the Maoon district, from 50 to 55 cents. The (Continued on Page 8) P. G. Alston, 68, Dies In Arkansas P. G.
