JT ROAD BUDGET MORE THAN HALF; MAY GO TO COURTI f Commissioners Slice Anotherl $5,000 From the School Budget Estimate j ROAD BOARD TO GET $13,000; WANTS $30,000 1 Intimated By Road Board Member That Courts May > Be Appealed To " ?? i Intimation ha3 been made that the board of road commissioners will ap peal to the courts in an effort to force the county commissioners to grant the sum of money for highways demanded in the budget estimate of the road board. The road commission ers asked for approximately $30,000 and the county commissioners in ses-|' sion Tuesday reduced this to about $13,000. The meeting of the commissioners was postponed from Monday to Tues day on account of Chairman J. H. Pickelsimer having to attend Federal court in Asheville on Monday. The proposed budget estimate, as publish ed in The Brevard News two weeks ago, was adopted with a few minor changes. The real contest was that of the board of road commissioners, which urged that that board's origi- t nal estimate of needed funds, $30,- j 000, be included in the budget. This i the county commisisoners refused to ' f accede, hence the intimation that the j courts will be asked to decide the , c matter. .| The sum of about $17,000 comes ^ to the road commissioners from the I one cent gasoline tax. This sum has * been placed, it is said, to credit of the interest charges on highway, 1 bonds, leaving the money necessary to be raised for upkeep of county! roads to come from tax levies. The ? road board contend that it will take j1 the sunt asked by them to maintain > and improve the county roads, while ' the county commissioners disagree.1' with this statement, and insist that 1 the $13,000 approved will be sufTi- 1 a cient. L Nearly five thousand dollars was j J deducted in Tuesday's meeting from > & the ohool board funds as presented1 in a budget estimate about the first of June. At that time the school budget was set at $145,376.83. This sum was reduced in Thursday's com missioner's meeting to $140,676.85. This is almost $20,000 less than the school budget for last year. The county commisisoners will name the tax rate for this year at the next regular meeting of the board on the first Monday, and it is believed it will not be any larger than the first esti mate ol .$l'.^3 on the hundred dollars valuation. In event the tax rate is held down to this figure, it means a reduction of 52 cents on the hundred dollars from that of last year. jil PROVES POPULAR a n o o o a t i e i a Special services at the Brevard,^ Presbyterian church last Sunday ev- r enjng proved both profitable and en- c joyable, according to the expressions j1 of many among the large number of j1 people who were in attendance on " this occasion.

Many Regulations ORDINANCEHAS PASSED ITS FIRST READING Does Not Affect the Cream Business ? Guarantees Pure Milk That Brevard is to have a milk ordinance with teeth in it, guaran teeing a supply of milk and milk J products for this town with unques-' Jtioned purity, is indicated by tin 'ordinance that has passed first read ing by the board of aldermen, and I will, it is said, be adopted at an ' early date. The full text of the ord ? inance is printed on another page in ' this issue of The Brevard News, and ! the instrument covers every known { phase of the milk business. ] Dairies operating in the county and supplying Brevard with njilk and S milk products are said to be heartily ' in favor of the proposed law, and | were in fact instrumental in brintr ! ing about its introduction. While \ there has never, so far as is known, . j been any complaint as to milk and i milk products sold in the town, the proposed law makes absolute guar antee, through proper inspection of, j dairies, herds, and everything con j netted with the business, of a pure : supply of milk. The law does not affect the cream business that is growing so rapidly j here. Farmers and milk producer: who sell their cream for shipment , do not come under the provisions of the ordinance at all, it is said by j i town ' Ticials. Nor does the new law prohibit the sale of milk and butter by a citizen; in town who owns a cow or cows, | providing the purchaser goes to the | home of the owner and makes pur-| chase. Such milk cannot, after the ; proposed ordinance shall have be-j 'come effective, be delivered within, ! the town limits. Nor can one who ; re-sells the milk go to another's 1 home and make purchases of milk and sell it. But when one buys for ; one's own use, and calls at the place j having the milk for sale, the law is: said not to cover such pales. i Dr. Taylor, of Hendersonville, is to have charge of the inspection work until such time as a local man i is trained in the work and can make i proper inspection. The ordinance' srives wide power to the milk inspec tor. The ordinance, it is believed, will be great protection to the people e:' Brevard, and will be strong r.rgt: ment in getting tourists and visitors' to select Brevard, on account of so many people placing such hio;h valu ation upon milk inspection and guar-| antees that come from such inspec-. tion.

ILACOCO SCHOOL STARTS WITH BANG ITS SECOND TERM Boston School of Expression and Dramatic Art In Summer Session TEACHERS GIVEN CREDIT FOR ATTENDANCE HERE I State Department of Education | Recognizes the School ? Many Enroll The Bo3ton School of Expression and Dramatic Art has just opened it3 second summer session in the Bre vard High School building. Dr. John Kennedy Lacock, president of the school, and Prof. Halsey Andrews, both from Boston, reached Brevard on last Thursday. Miss Frances How ard, cf Cedartown, Ga., one of the instructors, arrived on Sunday. .She is a most charming lady, and won her way into the hearts of the Brevard people last summer by her most pltas ant manner of meeting people. She is an able instructor, and Brevard is pleased to have her here strain. Miss Howard is instructor in vocal expres sion and harmonic training, and has charge of the children's classes. Prof. Andrews is a graduate of Tufts college, and head of the dra matics and art department in Bos ton. He is thoroughly familiar with every phase of dramatic art, includ ing play-writing and drama. Among the plays he has written are "Up the River," "Trust," and "Road to the Hills." Dr. Lacock is one of th" most widely and favorably known lectur ers in the country, his lectures on Washington. Lincoln, and Lee and Roosevelt, illustrated by setreopticon slides being especially popular in col leges, schools and clubs. His "Song Lectures" have attracted nation-wiae attention and one of his critics has said : "Dr. Lacock is one of the lecturers who stared the country singing, for his illustrated lecture' on patriotic *ongs is one of the most novel meth ods of keeping the old melody lires extant. Pictures of songs, with the words at the bottom, are thrown upon the screen, and they jus! seem to sing themselves with the eye as wellP as the voice ? every one joins in." On Friday evening:, August Dr. Lacock will give his celebrated illus trated lecture on Robert E. Lei . ac companied by illustrated Southern songs, played by the Brevard orchA tra. r Dr. Lacock means much to Bre vard, for he really loves this section, and the people here with whom he has come in contact esteem him : highly. He has given this section v.. ic publicity during: the past year. rnd the town has no greater booster t. 111 Dr. Lacock. His philosophy of life is to do all he can for whomsoever ho meets, in whatever way hi- ran. As an authority on parliament' law, parliamentary practice en'! methods" of teaching and pub:; : speaking, Prof. Lacock is well knowr. He is a graduate of Washington and Jefferson College and of Harvard, and possesses a wide visi?.n of all fields of expression and dramatic :: . Indications point to a large em ment this summer. Numerous let t . - and telephone calls are being ceived, it is said at the business fice, which indicates an unusual keen interest in the school. The department of public instru. tion of North Carolina has recogi./: ed the worth of this school, and ;? ! teachers who desire may taki 12" class hours, of six semester hours work, toward the renewal or raising of a certificate. Students already tak ing the work express themselves highly pleased with the methods <-f instruction and with the able instruc tors. One student who enrolled last Monday stated to The Brevard News that Dr. Lacock is a marvelous in structor, "simply wonderful," to quote her exact words. The school has the hearty endorse ment of the county and city school authorities, and both Superintendent Verner and Prof. Jones have givei high endorsement of the work. It is believed many teachers will take ad vantage of the opportunity to renew or raise their certificates by attend ing the summer session. Children's classes in expression and children's plays are given on Tues days, Thursdays and Saturdays. Th" classes in this work are held in the morning, from 9 to 11 o'clock. Dr. Lacock maintains an office in the Brevard High school building, and those interested in the work mav see him there at any time, and obtain complete information about the work. Many interested citizens haxe ex pressed the opinion that, with pro;: er support, this summer session o' the school can be made into one of the town's greatest assets, in that :t will advertise Brevard to the world, as the school grows. Although this is but the second year of the work here, yet there are people here to spend the summer who came t<> Brevard because they could spend their va cation in the mountains, and at the tame time attend the sch&ol. ?
