Linville River In Burke County
Most Beautiful Stream In N. C.
forester Advocates State Park tn
Enchanting Llnville Gorge
Area.
Raleigh, July 1.—Llnville river
along the 30-mile stretch from Lln
ville falls to, the mouth of XJn
ville gorge,, Burke county, "la the
roughest and most picturesque
stream In the southern Appala
chians,” asserted State Forester J.
S. Holmes In discussing the possi
bility of the area's being converted
into a state park.
"The river dashing through the
gorge. In places 3,000 fe# deep, Mr.
Holmes said, "falls In Its 20 mile
course to the foothills 2,400 feet.”
The wild beauty of the area, he add
ea. is hardly surpassed anywhere In
the w’orld.
So rugged and wild Is the terri
tory, Mr. Holmes said that “while ad
venturous fishermen know parts of
the gorge, there are few people who
have traversed the whole length.”
The scenic beauty and value of
the gorge section was warmly prais
ed In'a resolution adopted by the na
t:onal conference of state parks,
which was held this year at Llnville.
In Its resolution, the conference urg
ed that the area be acquired by the
state of North Carolina as a state
park.
A movement to convert the gorge
into a national park along with sur
rounding mountain territory was
launched a few years ago. Represen
tatives of the department of inter
ior who inspected the region were
greatly Impressed, but It finally was
decided not large enough to make a
convenient administrative unit of

sufficient else. It was then that the
Great Smoky mountain park plan
was suggested and finally adopted.
Turning to the matter of the states
acquiring the Unville area for a
park or the establishing of a park by
other means, State Forester Holmes
said three possible courses were
open. "Unfortunately,” he explain
ed "no definite steps can be taken
toward the acquisition of these prop
ertles without special legislative au
thorisation and appropriation, un
less private funds can be secured."
The three ways by which the park
might be established were listed by
Mr. Holmes as follows:
"1 By securing an appropriation
from the general assembly to pur
chase th_ property as a state park,
the legislation necessarily carrying
the power of condemnation. - State
funds would be made available by a
direct appropriation from the treas
ury or through a bond issue to be
‘ssued as the money was needed.
This latter plan was approved by the
North Carolina forestry association
for the acquisition of not only Lln
vlUe gorge, but other desirable areas
throughout the state.
3. It might be possible either
through special federal legislation or
through the National Forest reserva
tion committee to get a special dis
pensation for the acquisition of this
property to add to the national for
est. * • • Possibly the state would
appropriate money to cooperate
with the federal government In
such acquisition.
"3. It might, be possible to Interest
some public spirited citizen to pur
hase the property and donate it
to the state as a state park.

TAX COLLECTIONS
rotal Revenue For Year 1929-1930
Amounted To
$35,263,174.18.
Raleigh.—Despite so-called "hard
imes" and business depression, the
otal revenue collections lor last
,'ear climbed up to a new high level
’or all time, it was shown in the
innual report of Commissioner of
Elevenue A. J. Maxwell.
The total collections for the fiscal
,'ear 1929-30 which ended June 30
vere *35,263,174.18. This was *4,
134,246.92 more than for any other
.ear previous.
Of the total, the general fund
collections were 15,344,242.35 show
ing a 81,441.552.50 increase over the
year of 1928-29. Highway fund col
lections totaled $19,918,931.83, an
Increase of *2,592,694.42 over the
previous year.
A total of *211,225.49 of deferred
payments on the state income taxes
provided this year for the first time
is not included in the general fund
figure, Commissioner Maxwell ex
plained.
While expressing satisfaction at
the total collections for last year
Commissioner Maxwell warned the
people of the state that they might
not expect such a good showing for
the present year.
"It,should not-be overlooked,” he
said speaking of last fiscal year’s
collections, "that a large part of
this revenue was collected before the
beginnig of the depression period
and with respect to Income taxes
payable in March of -this year, the
income had in the main been earn
ed before the beginning of the de
pression period, which began the
latter part of 1929,” Mr. Maxwell
said the Increase in highway fund
collection reflected an Increase from
four to five cents in the gas tax and
that the Increase in the general
fund revenue was In part due to
changes made in the revenue laws
by the last general assembly.
Prospects for a decrease Tn reve
nue during the present year, the
second of the biennium, Mr. Max
well pointed out, makes necessary
"the rather drastic measure of
economy which the budget bureau
is enforcing”
