cut in valuation
at Belle-Vue mill
A request that the valuation or
machinery at Belle Vue mills be
reduced on the grounds that the
present tax valuation is “discrim
inatory” was submitted to the
Board of County Commissioners
Monday by L. E. Beard, chiel
executive of the firm.
He said the county now has a
tax valuation of $400,000 on the
machinery alone in the Hillsboro
plant, based on the 1954 revalua
tion, when ar- appraisal of the
machinery as of Jdn. 1, 1959 by
experts of the Comer Machinery
Corp., experienced in this field,
indicated the worth to be only
$124,000. The firm’s detailed
valuation of the machinery as of
January 1, 1954 was $194,000, he
said.
Compares to sale price
He cited the County’s valuation
of $937,000 on the total property
of the plant in comparison to a
1957 sale price of $235,000 for
the entire property by the owners
at that time; but said he was mak
ing no protest other than on the
machinery. He proposed that tne
county reduce the machinery val
uation to $200,000 rather than ail
the way to the valuation set by
| the appraising firm.
'This matter is so obvious
tha Board ought to taka the
necessary steps to correct," he
said, pointing out that the firm
in its present operations puts
some $400,000 to $500,000 per
! year into the community while
just "linpirg along" and it
I ought to be $1 000,000 if operat
i ing fully
Belle Vue is one of the last of
the old type mills which pro
cesses its products all the v/av
i from the raw cotton to the finish
ed cloth in the same plant. “There
j is nothing comparable to it in
the county,” said Mr. Beard in
describing the type of machinery
and operation involved.
The board took no action on
the proposal hut agreed to render
a decision later.

The Orange County ABC board
has called for the construction of
additional floor space to be add
ed to the warehouse portion of its

becoming a deputy sheriff left

ABC-sheriff's rift seen
over higher pay scales
A rift between the Sheriffs
department and the new ABC
enforcement unit appears in the
offing, even before the latter’s
operation gets underway.
The resentment stems from the
ABC board’s higher salary, scale
and the hiring of an experienced
deputy from the Sheriff’s depart
ment to head the new unit. '
Sheriff Buck Knight, who has
experienced considerable diffi
culty filling county vacancies
because of the relatively low pay
scale paid by the county, ex
pressed strong resentment to
the County Commissioners Mon
, day, intimating the new unit
i would be on its own and could
j expect no help from him.
; “I have no intention of help*
| ing them when they go over my
head with their money and hire
j my men,” he said to the com
missioners. “I won’t 'ask ’my
men, who’ll be receiving less
pay, to go out and help them do
their work.”
Chairman R. J. M. Hobbs
agreed the action created a bad
situation, commented, “This 1#
not the first time they’ve raided
the county ranks for their help.’*
