Monday Mr. Grissom announced December collections of $16,621,000 bring the total collected since July 1 to $100,410/000. During the first six rrlonths of thel925-26 fiscal year th(f total collections were only $92,575,000.

The commission will continue its deliber ations today, but no report is ejected bifore next week. - : J J. 0. Carr, of Wilmington, chair man of the commission, stated last night that no formal vote has . yet been taken upon the question and the same statement was made by other members of the commission. - ? It was predicted by one member of the commission that if the body rec ommendation will be accompanied, by another recommendation that the tepn not be increasedd until the totalizing fund for the six months shall have been increased to'approximately $4,- I 500,000. On the same basis, an eight months school term would resuire an equalizing ftihd of $5,000,000. The state equalizing fupd is now $1,500,000, but Superintendent A. T. Allen has requested that -the 1927 general assembly make this amount ?$$800,000 and it has been generally I?fedicte<i that this recommendation ' ? ?f A return Jo a statewide tax an in 1921, for the -purpose of providing the'proposed additional increases Jar the equalizing fund i\ said to be giv en very serious eonnideration by the jjoammission. The first intimation of a rift in the ranks of the commission came last week when Edgar Wi Wianvof Char lotte, speaker of the 1925 house of [?representatives, predicted that the commission would oppose lengthening the term to. eight months. Superintendent A. T. Allen, who has Surrendered his office to the commis sion for so much time as may be re quired by their deliberations behind closed doors and who has not attended the sessions for the first'time tinea*. the .commission was appointed in April, 1926, yesterday expressed him self as not worried. - 0-''' I \\."l have spent a great deal of time at the hotel and have talked to the members," said Mr. Allen. ;?I haive made no attempt te>RoU them and shall not do so, but the voluntary as surances of support for the amend ment I have received are very grati- ? . Ai Chairman Carr'stated last night . thai it is expected that the commis sion will get far -enough': along. today to enable instructions fo. be-to himself and Dr. Js Y. Joyner, the sec retary, as to the drafting of Jhe for mal report, but that another meeting of the commission will be necessary adopt Ik* report. lg Mr. Carr stated he could make no definite prediction, >ut. that lie hoped the report would be ready*.within a week or ten toys.
