Madi6oh County Library Marshall, N.C. 28753 TOE 10c PER COPY 1 Local Sales, Use Tax Restored In A resolution levying one per cent local sales and use tax and prescribing the method of distribution of the net proceeds within Madison County was adopted by the board of county com missioners here Monday at a public hearing held in the Commissioners' Room in the courthouse. County REAP Modified Due to the lateness in get ting the Rural Environmental Assistance Program under way within the county and the bottle-necks encountered in taking and following soil tests on certain farm practices, some modifications have been made and approved in this years' program, according to Emory Robinson, chairman of the County ASC Committee. This program known as REAP takes the place of the former Agricultural Conservation Program (ACP). Mr. Robinson explained that the approved change will enable farmers to use specified amounts of different analysis of fertilizer and lime in establishing or improving vegetative covers of grasses and legumes in the absence of a recent soil test. He said that ASCS will continue to en courage fanners to take and follow soil testing on these practices but that they will not continue to be made man datory during the remainder of the spring season. Some of the problems encountered with soil test recom mendations were: the delays in receiving reports, the short supply of some of the nutrients recommended by the test, and the lack of ready mixed fer tiliser to meet the fertilizer sugested in soil test reports. Robinson stated that the County ASC Committee, who art assigned the responsibility of administering the Rural Environmental Assistance Program, requested and secured approval to not make soil testing mandatory on these practices in order to have a sound county program. He also said that the REAP for future years will likely demand that farmers take and follow soil test recom mendations 'in "determining the plant nutrients needs for assiatanct on these practices. In conclusion Robinson urged farmers with farm problems which they feel can be solved by the use of the smaller man usual assistance through the County REAP to Contact the ASCS office at Marshall for th program details and the Cling of metr ftqueat4"- ' The Resolution states that the collection of the tax by the North Carolina Commissioner of Revenue, and liability therefor, shall begin and continue on and after the first day of May, 1971. The commissioners stated that in their opinion that the levy of said sales tax with Madison County is both desirable and necessary to adequately finance the operation of the county and the cities and towns therein. ;;, i I 1 1 iv" A GROUP of students from Laurel School on Monday presented gifts of gun racks, white handsewn ties which they had made in Occupational Education classes, to Governor Bob Scott and State School Superintendent Craig Phillips.

State Sets Uniform Rules For Waste Disposal Now for the first time a statewide system of regulations and standards exists for uniform control of the problem of solid waste disposal. Regulations aimed at replacing all open garbage dumps with sanitary landfills or other acceptable facilities have been established by the State Board of Health. By July 1, 1971, proposed operators of new sites for solid waste disposal must have a location and operating plan approved by the State Board of Health according to Sidney Uary, chief of the Solid Waste and Vector Control section of the State Board of Health Sanitary Engineering Division. Uary revealed mat a survey of : municipalities with populations in excess of IJU disclosed 47f solid waste disposal areas with 23 MARSHALL. N. C. THURSDAY. APRIL 1. 1971 The voters of Madison County previously approved the additional 1 per cent sales and use tax which was in ef fect until the North Carolina Supreme Court ruled it un constitutional.

The regulations are the outgrowth of a survey of all the state's 100 counties conducted to determine the extent of our solid waste disposal program, Uary said. The regulations specify that solid waste disposal operators will have to obtain approval from the State Board of Health in the form of a free permit. Approval will be based on a careful review of plans sub mitted for implementing the landfill or other acceptable programs. Regulations include requirements for site selec tion, adequate drainage, compacting and covering solid waste to specifications.

Four churches in Marshall have solved this in a very practical way. Four times a year there is a Fifth Sunday union service at which the ministers and members of the Baptist, Methodist and Presbyterian, along with Ponder's Chapel, worship together. During the week before Easter, that time which the Christian church holds especially sacred, they join for special services at one of the churches. Next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings at 7 : 30 o'clock it will be the turn of the Baptists to be hosts. All four ministers will participate each evening. These are the Rev. Clark, Pedew, Williams and Wood. Mr. Wood, the host pastor will speak and lead in the Maundy Thursday communion service on that evening. The public is urged to at tend. '"I row (Ml V of cancel 111!
