EXTRA TAX LEW BF FIVE CENTS IS Raleigh,—-Those counties that are struggling a Ion;; to take care of all their county expenses, including the* upkeep of the county home for the poor and infirm, on the 15 cents levy for general expenses, are be ing notified that the funds for the county homes do not need to be in cluded in the 16 cents levy, but then an additional levy, not exceeding 6 cents, may be made for this pur pose. This information is contained it: a letter to all the county auditors, from C. M. Johnson, executive sec- j rotary to the county government advisory commission, as a resuit of numerous pleas from various1 counties, where the commissioners j contended that it v;as impossible to keep their expenditures within the revenue yelded by the 15 cents i tax for county purposes. But many J of these counties have been includ-: ing the expenses attendant to the : operation of the county poor homes , in the amount yielded by the 15 cents tax, and were finding ,t a hard proposition' to make ends meet. Attention of the county audi tors is called to chapter 21, section 1297, consolidated statutes, which provides that the boards of county commissioners may levy annually a FEATURING Our Full Fashioned Silk Hose at $1.00 is covering the state —- from the mountains to the coast, From Wilmington comes a letter: “Enclosed find check for $6.00, fov 6 pairs Hose mailed.

The entire section making tin-' provision was attacked by_ the Nor folk and Southern railway, when the commissioner of Pasquotank county levied a rate of IK cents, 15 cents foi the general fund, and 3.certs for construction and main * ■■•nance r-f bridges and the county home. The supreme court ruled that the extra 11 cents was levied for a special purpose, anil hence was valid. In conclusion, the letter states: ‘Many cavities already |.roci.de for the maintenance and construc tion of bridges and roads by speci d levies and none of this expense is borne by the county general fund, Hcwevor, many counties are also struggling to maintain the county home and to take care of their out: side poor out of the limited revenue raised by the 15 cents special levy for general purposes. “Thus this office advises that n special tax, not to exceed 5 cur..:; may be levied for the upkeep of the county home, but it must be borne in mind that the constitu - tion requires one-fourth of the revenue derived from the capita tion tax be applied to this purpose.’’ Ford Recovering From Injury This is one of the host 1 _ < pictures taken of Henry Ford, the Detroit billionaire, wfiO recently was injured when his flivvtf tv as crowded off the roa<! by a larger car.

I ' Tests at tho Hast Tttrsbur.'h works of the Wce-tlnsfcoas* co.ni 1 pany. that built the loeomolrvo, show it to bo more powerful than a steam "double-header." It can haul a train of too loaded freight cars. I It draws current from. the high voltage alternating current lines already up. but it converts this ! power to direct current for its own use Going down hill, it uses its mo tors as brakes and at the same ! time generates power enough to supply current for other purposes. Like a giart worm on two dozen wlieelc. this power engine Is snUi ip two. so that it can tie cottar- iarr,» more easily - It has I a total length cf 100 feet and weighs 715,000 pounds. It lira a continuous rating of 3509 horsepower nt 15 miles an hour, but con exert as much ns 7000 horsepower Its speed is variable from two to 35 miles an j hour. 15is’’.t motors drive it. operated ! through a huge transformer from i an 1 1.000-volt, 25-cycle overhead | trolley. Conversion of the alternating i to direct current by the ioromo-j live itself eliminates the use of sub stat ions ordinarily required to | provide the direct errtat along! tiro right-of-way. This is a great, j economic advantage. An important feature, !;i add' it Ion. is the s.vstain of regenera-! : live bracing ly which the heavy; traiu • can be taken down steep [ grades -.without the use cf aU-j brakes. Tire traction motors aro used as generators, braking the load and at the same tim' lending current back into the* power sys tem for other purposes.

Burke and McDowell counties agreed yesterday to honor State wide fishing licenses, although they were exempted from the State-wide angler’s tax law by a special act of the 11127 Legislature, according to Major Wade II. Phil lips, chairman of the department of conservation and development, under whose supervision the an gler’s tax law is enforced. Lake James, which lies in both counties, is a favorite spot with fishermen in that section of the state. It is a part of the Bridge water development by the South ern Power company, and officials of that company met with offi cials of the two counties, large bind owners, and J. Q. Gilkey, of, Marion, who represented the de- ] partment of conservation and ,J velopment, and agreed to honor th state license for anglers. Under the terms of the law J cmpting them from the state-wid law, they were authorized U) lect an angler’s tax of from th,-J to five dollars. The usual count tax is one dollar, while a .;at wide license for residents , f ,c' state costs two dollars, and thro! dollars for nori-residems , r ,l state.
