Intimated By Road Board

" ?? 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.

at work on the erection of a sub
station near the Southern Railway
station, into which wih- -je run the
power lines of the Southern Public

The line from Hendersonville, it
is said, will carry 44,000 voltage in
to the Brevard sub-station, and
through the transformers -there be
turned into whatever channels, in
such voltage, as may be required.
It will be recalled that a delega

their power lines. Later a franchise
was granted the company by the
town authorities. No officials of the

the big concern may have in mind

MILK ORDINANCE
Inspection of Dairies and Dairy
Cows To Be Thorough ?
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. ?
