Burnett. Haywood county was fortunate in that, it bml fim- )'h-. ami these did little' damage m- pared with the large fires in other counties. KiiC. Warden Burnett lias been constantly, on the job and in sev eral instances he and . his associates have put out fires just as they started and prevented large and costly ones. Despite numerous reports that have, been sent out Haywood County bus suffered .very little. Approximately 1 (()) acres in all have been burned, ami tne j; ten test part ol these ware cut over land and the fire did little ilumage. In a few instances small fires killed the second growth tim ber. According to Mr. Burnett the argent fires of the county were in the Soco (lap section where about .'i(H) acres were burned and then another that burned approximately .'100 acres in the Sherwood Forest in the south ern part of the rtiuny. : The rain during the last .week end helped the fire fighters extinguish most of the flames. Mr. Burnett said "I am personally investigating every fire and intend to put a stop as far as possible to the forest fires in this -county." No arrests have been made up to Tuesday night, of those suspected of starting the fires. Santa ClausToBe Here Monday Noon Santa Will Present Each Boy and Girl With Present. In an exclusive interview with The Mountaineer Mr. W. 11. Noland, Hay wood county treasurer and auditor. said, "Haywood county is in bettor financial condition than it has been in years." Mr. Noland further stated that he had been officially connected with the county and its finances for the last ten or twelve years and knew whereof he spoke. "Despite the fact." continued Mr. Xolaiid, ''.that conity 'taxes have been reduced 2:j cents per hundred dollars, and the county had between ?:iO,00O and ft0,0K) moie maturity due this year than last wi r. uiill in better condition than in the.' oast number ol years. "We are able to pay all obligations and still have a little left," he said smiling. "I have a little note there that has to be paid Saturday, its only $10,(100 but we have the money ready and we did not ha either." According to Mr. Noland the coun ty is not, borrowing any money on anticipation of taxes. This momey that the county has is what has been paid in on taxes and has not been borrowed. Mr. Noland was asked to what did he attribute the present splendid fi nancial condition of the county. He. made the reply that there were two things, the prompt .payment of 111,'Jl taxes by the citizens of the county,, thereby getting a discount, and to the. fact that the county officials have been very conservative during the last few years. The last fact waa stressed very much. It is not. officially known, but it is believed that Haywood is one of the few counties of the state that can show that they have enough funds on hand to meet all obligations and not have to borrow money. It also seems appropriate at this Thanksgiving season that Mr. Noland f-hould come forth with the very en r.ouraging statement concerning the financial standing of the county. sible for all Annual Conferences (Continued on page H) to McClure, A.
