From News and Observer: ' Repentance over the scuttling of the Revaluation Act reached the SPP. ond stage during the past week when represontatitves of the official famll in Greene county, in the heart of the section where deflation hit hardest, ' came to Raleigh to inquire if it would be possible for that county to re-con sider its previously approved cut of CO per cent in property values. Other counties in the State are said to be preparing similar overtures to the Revenue Commission.' Inability to make the tongue of tax rates meet the bet of reduced pro- perty values is said to have impelled Greene countv to take stens tnwni-rf going back to the value of the Re r- valuation Act. Last year the countr levied ud to the bill and had no mon v tn snnrn. Thl vaai trlth vnlnoa reduced by half, and no further rone in the way of a tax rate, the County Commissioners see nowhere to go but to Revaluation. - Up Against Rate Limit Fifteen cents is as high as the county may levy for general expenses and Greene levied approximately that much last year and was not too free from financial cramps. Thirty cents Is the limit for school purposes, and Greene levied that much last year and had no surplus left over. And on top of that, Greene wanted prop erty value lowered and the Revenue Commission did not put any hindrance in the, way of their desires. Week before laBt the Greene com missioners got Superintendent E. C. Brooks' letter about raising as much money this vear as was raised last year for school purposes, regardless of how the property values had been I altered, Greene had already raised as I much as it could under the legal rata I of taxation, and could have used mor No hiirher rate-can be levied, and with values cut Jiatf In two, the school fund and the general expense fund this year will shrink according- ly. - Similar tale Arp hpcinninv to reach Raleigh from other sections of the State. ' particularly since the - I Brooks letter was sent out advising I the county authorities that school monies must be kept up to the stand- I ard set by the State Board of Edu- I cation. The State school fund fell J short nearly seven hundred thousand, I dollars during the past ye&r. and the I General Assembly provided only $600,000 to be used as an equalizing fund this year. School Fund Worries This latter fund will go not far to- I war(j making up for such reductions I ag impend in the school funds In I Greene and other counties which cut I their values so sharply when the I bars were lowered by the General I Assembly. The counties apparently I realize that they muft look to them- I selves for the major portion of the I money that will run their schools this I year. Other funds are materially di-' 1 minished, and no way has been found for reducing the cost of county go ernment, or eliminating any of. the demands that are made upon them. ' High revenues and not high val uations appear to be the basis of the troubles that confront many; of ' the counties. Greene, for Instance, had a I valuation of $20,010,092, which yield- withled a school income of approximately I $50,000 and a general purposes fund I of $30,000 last year. The twenty mil I lion cut to ten million also cuts the I income square m tne miaaie, leaving 1 only $15,000 for general purposes ana I $30,000 for schools. b I Annarentlv it isn't enough.
