MAY 18, 1933 Haywood County Included In Bank Offset Law Mon. Depositors Of Closed Banks May Sell Claims To Debtors lo Offset Loans Haywood County was included in bill recently introduced " lne iieneial Assembly with reference to legislation permitting depositors in i-loed banks to sell their deposit claims to debtors who can use them to offset against loans. Major credit for this Ifgislation, which was widely approved here, is iveii to Representative Sullivan of iUmcombe county who engaged in a voi it of skirmishes with Commis sioner Hood of the state banking de partment and came out victorious, i he bank commissioner sought to have the bill recalled from the. en . oiling office, but was out-maneuvered. F.ffoits to repeal the act also flounder ed, the senate tabling the Burgin re ; oaler. Senator Francis of this county and nunagan of Rutherford, introduced a supplemental bill bringing several a ostei n counties under the Sullivan -.ink offset act. In the house, Rep 1 1 t entative Sullivan brought the meas i!o from the unfavorable calendar. A'.oio it had been consigned by the ;i,f committee on banks and bank er, and passed it despite the vigor . .is opposition of the commissioner's 1 1 iends in this branch. 1 ht. final effort to defeat it was unt ie in the senate when several sena '.! blocked concurrence. In the con uiciiee committee, Representative ' iii h van again won his point, bring ing the report to the floor and secur ng approval of the house. In the .-(.iiate, approval was also voted and hill was ratified Saturday, adding i'i counties to its provisions includ ing. Transylvania, Cherokee, Clay, Henderson, Haywood, Rutherford, Ma ioii, Avery, Polk and Jackson. (ommissioner Hood secured the in troduction of a statewide bill which would have repealed the Sullivan act. I he committee on banks and banking leported it unfavorably, but again the iiuii'.'ombe representative defeated it, the house upholding his motion to table it. . . Representative Sullivan's final vic tory against the stale bank depart iii ni came when he brought the I'at '"ii bank bill from the unfavorable . .uvriiiar and secured its passage by the house. Introduced by Senator Patton of 'lacon, the measure provides: "Section. 1. That the commission ' "f banks of the State of North C arolina shall on or before the first ' a o!' .June 1133 and on the first day lanuary and July of each year '!: rt.if'ter file with the seeietary oi '' -.c ;it.e of North Carolina a report ' 'iw all banks under liquidation .'' -State of North Carolina: ami dailies of any and all auditors to--' !. ! with the amounts paid fo them ! : auditing each of said banks, and ;' ':a:i;t ,i of any and all attorneys 1 ; y i'Vi :i in connection with the linui- t said: banks together with i "it -nni.l nV ,in -. c.

Kirchhoff To Make Experiments With Asters Here Soon Several Acres Will He Planted. Company Is Pleased With Haywood County W. L. Boyd, who is retail sales manager for the Kirchhoff Gladiola Farms, announced yesterday that an experiment will be made here with several acres of asters in addition to the 40 acres of gladiola; there being about 20 acres already planted, Mr. Boyd stated that he believed that the asters could be grown here successfully. "I am favorably im pressed with the climate and soil for gladiolas." he said. The location of the aster farm has not been determined. A place with suitable soil is now bning sought. E. II. Ganshaw, who is in charge of planting, has already planted pboui 12 acres at the Sloan propeity an-i 5 acres at th Welch farm on Highway No.-. 10. The five acres at Clyd-j have already been planted. Mr. Ganshaw will remain here until thj planting is completed. Mr. Boyd will be here until about November. i.Mr..- Boyd announced that plans were being made for the establish ment of about 5 roadside stand in Western North Carolina where fresh cut flowers, bulbs and plants will be offered for sale. No definite sites have been leased, but negotiations arc under way to establish stands at Clyde, Black Mountain, Biltmore, Lake Junaluska and at the Welch Farm. "The majority of the flowers will be shipped to eastern and southern markets," Mr. Boyd stated. "It would bo almost impossible for the local :ndc here in Western North Caro lina to demand aTl the flowers from " acres acres." -Mr. Kirchhoff is the largest single gi wer in the United States, and sup. plies large florists in the country with flowers, as well as large seed compa nies with bulbs. If the flowers do as well here as they expected to do, it is Mi KiichholT's intention to increase the acreage next year. The places where the flowers are planted will be one of the show places of YVes trn North Carolina. 10 Percent Penalty For Failure To List Taxes To Be Made Charles C.

An advertisement elsewhere in this p iper explains more in derail the law on this matter. Merchants Not To Absorb 3 Tax The passage by the general assem bly of a supplementary bill making it mandatory'. that the merchants shall pass on the 3 per cent sales tax to the consumers was regarded as a signal, of a last minute, victory for the mer chants. Dispjte the fact that when this proposal was first made, it was viewed by some members of hp legis lature with distrust, if not with alarm, the bill had very little opposition in either house, and passed the senate by a unanimous vote, despite the fact that only a few days before there had been particularly strong opposition to the mandatory provision in the upper house. The sales tax becomes affective July first. 'i Marketing Of Wool Will Be Discussed L.
