Clerk of Board of Commissioners of Orange County. Chairman of Orange County Board of Elections. County Commissioners State Views On $1,045*000 Bond Election Vote This Is a statement of facts bearlnffupon the proposed bond issue: _1. REASSESSMENT OF PROPERTY: Under State Law a regular reassessment was to have been made In 1946. The legislature of 1946 postponed it two years because of the war. It is obligatory this year. 2. THE BOND8 will not be sold and the money will not spent until building costs come down. 3. FINAL PLANS for the remodeling of the interior of the court house will be developed with the advice and counsel of an architect whose special field is-Colonial 'Xscfiftsclu'l3L^*:• . 4. FOR MANY YEARS the financial policy of Orange County has been conservative. The county commissioners do not intend to change that policy. We believe, hpwever, that the time has come to lay the groundwork for some of our urgently needed improvements. The tax rate of Orange county is lower than that of most counties in the state. We estimate that the increase necessary to carry the proposed bonds will not be over 12 cents on the $100. With this addition made, the resulting tax rate of $1 will still be low as compared with most other counties. Collier Cobb, Jr., Chairman >-» Ben F. Wilson ^Hubert G.

It is published as public service by this newspaper. Operators of combines and threshing machines are reminded that they are required to obtain I permits to operate their machin es in North Carolina. The permits are to be obtained through the Register of Deeds Office in each county of the State. There is rare ly any charge for these permits, although handy daily record books are provided along with forms on which to report the acreage thresh ed and bushels obtained from this acreage. Farmers and businessmen need information resulting from these records to make their plans for 1 better and safer farming. Also. county agricultural leaders need county totals and averages for their general program planning. The State Threshers" Law is the means for getting such informa tion on small grains. The purpose of this law is for information and not for revenue. It seeks cooperative aid and in terest and not compulsion or re sentment. Reliably plans must be developed from information at the farm; thus, the threshers’ records provide the best basis for county grain statistics for program plan ning usage. The source and usage is within the county itself. Oper ators must obtain from the Regis ter of Deeds: (1) Permit of license card; (2) Daily record book; and (3) Report blanks upon which to report their entire operations for the season. Private and public ma chines, alike, am'no exception or exemption, even for those out side the State if they operate sid North Carolina.
