Resettlement
What and Why
RESETTLEMENT
Editor’s Note—This is question
seven ot a series of questions and
answers about the Resettlement
t
Administration which are being
published each week in The Pilot.
Will the purchase of good land and
the setting up of communities and
homes on this land establish federal
islands which are exempt from local
taxation ?
Answer
Rural Resettlement projects are
necessarily withdrawn from local tax
ation while the land involved in the
project areas is being assembled and
during the construction of the pro
ject. Expenditures for construction
and labor which are made during
this period more than compensate the
community for any temporary de
crease in tax receipts. The project
property again becomes taxable when
the families have moved into their
new homesteads, and when convey
ance of the project has been made
by the federal government to an in
corporated association of the home
steaders. The improvements brought
about by the construction of Reset
tlement projects a low the project
properties to be assessed at a higher
value than that obtaining prior to
the improvements. Taxes are paid in
a lump sum by the corporations,
the corporations in turn collecting
the taxes in moi^thly instal’ments
from the homesteaders. The increase
in the tax base will tend to balance
any increase in the cost of local ser_
vices.
The available evidence would in
dicate that the effort of resettle
ment communities on real estate val
ues is very favorable. On a project in
California all land surrounding the
project has been acquired by real
estate developers and offered for sale
in one acre plots at twice the cost
paid by the government for the land
devoted to the project.
Land adjoining a project in Wash
ington now commands two and one-
half times the price at which the
government secured its holdings.
Next week’s qut-.rtion: “la the RA
moving families in large groups from
one part of the country to another”?

I Jl'KY LIST
The Universal Car
One name comes quickly to mind
when you think of “The Universal
Car.” The description is distinctively
Ford. No other car is used by so
many millions of men and women in
every part of the world. Everywhere
it is the symbol of faithful service.
That has always been a Ford funda*
mental. Something new is constantly
being added in the way of extra value.
Each year the Ford has widened its
appeal by Increasing its usefulness
to motorists.
Today’s Ford V-8 is more than ever
“The Universal Car” because it en
circles the needs of more people than
any other Ford ever built. It reaches
out and up into new fields because it
has everything you need in a modern
automobile.
The Ford V-8 combines fine-car
performance, comfort, safety and
beauty with low first cost and low cost
of operation and up>keep. It depre*
ciates slowly because it is made to last.
There is no other car like it.

Official Figures Prove That Lumberton’s Tobacco Market Is
Setting the Pace for North Carolinas’ Five Big Border Belt Mar
kets.
State Reports for Last Year Show That These Five Markets
Sold 15,606,290 Pounds; 12,877,470 Pounds; 9,494,583 Pounds, 8,-
987,494 Pounds, and 8,222,969 Pounds of Tobacco During the
Month of August, 1935.
The Latest Official Figures Available Show that During the
Same Period This Year the First Market Whose Figures Are Giv
en Is 50 Per Cent Behind Last Year In Poundage; The Second
Market Is More Than 25 Per Cent Behind; The Third Market Is Ap
proximately 25 Per Cent Behind; The Fourth Market Is Also Far
Behind Last Season While LUM3ERT0N HAS SOLD MORE TO
BACCO THAN IT DID DURING THE SAME PERIOD LAST
YEAR.
This means only one thing. More tobacco growers are selling in
Lumberton than ever before. Now lets ask a reasonable question.
Why are more tobacco growers selling in Lumberton (at least 40
per cent more) now than last year? There is only one answer. They
come to Lumberton because they know that grade by grade every
leaf on the stalk sells higher in Lumberton. Increased patronage
not only indicates higher prices— It is indisputable proof of higher
prices.
