THE INCREASE IN TAX RATE The report from the Board of Commissioners that a tax rate of 79 cents, an increase of six cents, appears to be the least Moore county can get along on during; the fiscal year 1936-37 is re ceived with disappointment, though not surprise.

We still have an unemployment problem on our hands, though probably not as great in Moore county as in most sections. Thoughtful citizens will not condemn their county adminis trators for meeting the needs and exigencies of the times, so who have sought relief became Many of our magizines lend a person- so numerous that cots were crowded into the wards or set up in the corridors. The grad ual increase has made necessary the expansion of the building, with the much needed new wing becoming an actuality.

The Town- sendites are an example. The commission attributes the major part of its increased budget to “the tremendous de mand for aid for the poor and needy of the county and the nec essary increase in the appropria tions for the schools.” A tax rate of 79 cents for Moore county is not exorbitant.

NEAL In a Sanford store recently a clerk said to .some Southern Pines people “You are going to get one of oUr fine families some day soon. Dr. Neal is going to your towTi. I believe Dr. Neal ha,s more friends than any man I know. And you folks down there will like his wife just as much.” Now that is a pretty broad claim about any man and a sit uation many of us might covet thoroughly appreciated. Perhaps by the time most of us are killed off the remaining few will have figured out a way to further lesson the slaughter. The motor vehicle bureau reports a spurt in automobile and truck sales. The number for July exceeding that of last July by over seven hundred cars. With over eight thousand new machines for July you have a few extra ones to dodge. That nine per cent reduction in automobile fatal ities still looks important.
