He was recognise as) an outstanding engineer and his advice has been worth no untold amount to . -nnnfrin -'- i Bond Issue For $120,000 Above Ustial First Date For Definite ' ' BT PAUL BAR WICK ( Because of the urgent need for funds for schooj construction, Du-' plin County Board of Commission- ers are laboring with the possibili ty of increasing the County's tax rate from $1.55 to $1.95 per $100 va luation. Faison MeGeweh, County auditor,, said today, the County Board of Education has asked tor an addi tional $120,000 above the usual ap propriation in order that it can con tinue Its much needed school con struction program. Lest year, $188,000 was appropriat ed for the County's schools con struction. However, even after pair ing now the needs for 1959-57, it is deemed necessary by the County Board of Education to have an ad ditional $120,000 this year. McGowen pointed out that there are only two ways of raising the money. One is through increasing the tax rate and go on a " pay as you go" basis and the other is to have a Bond issue. It is pointed out that if a bond issue is the de sired method to raise the money, it will mean a tax increase and at the same time mean more money wilT have to be paid in that interest will' have to be paid on money borrow ed through the Bond issue, should" it be approved. The Board of Commissioners will not take any definite action on the problem until the June 1, meeting: However, in the meantime, they are) feeling out the citizens of Duplin on the situation and have appoint ed committees to contact the Local Government Commission and the In stitute of Government concerning the." psiphltmsT jf. ?r..-C'C--l '-. With .the r anticipated receipt from State funds, and expecting the $28(L. 000 from the County funds, it will bring Duplin's anticipated revenue for School construction for 1956V57 to $585,000. As proposed, the County will re ceive from State funds $100,000 to be used at Chinquapin Elementary school (colored); $120,000 to be spent at Rose Hill Elementary school (colored); $30,000 for two lunchrooms at North Duplin and Wallace - Rose Hill, (both white); and $55,000 on classrooms at the Warsaw - Kenansville - Magnolia consolidated high school (white). The County funds will go toward construction at Warsaw - Kenans ville - Magnolia consolidated high school; Beulaville (white); and two classrooms and a kitchen for the lunchroom at Warsaw Colored school. In referring to the possibility of a 40 cents increase in" taxes, Mc Gowen said it will take at least a 40-cent increase to bring in addition al revenue for school construction. He pointed out that Duplin now has school and road bonds totalling one and one-half million dollars, with an annual Interest rate of $50, 000. He said this is a good reason why the County cannot issue more school bonds, because of the interest rate. Ass't Cashier ita, nil ("";?" h, i t " v t k r i i MRS. JOHNKTE K.
