B. And L’s Can’t
Take Home Bonds
Under Stste Laws
( ipi Roberts Explains Position ot
B and L, Association and
Home (tuners., boa n.
Building and Loan associations
are not. allowed unapt the North
Carolina law to accept bonds issued
tjv die Home Owners Loan corpor
ation in settlement of mortgage in
debtedness due by the members
Some criticism has been made be
.uninformed people in North Caro
i lina against the building and loan
associations for not accepting these
bonds in lieu of mortgages and Ctp
tain. Roberts, speaking in defense
of. all building and loan associa
tions, explains the law.
The Home Owners Loan corpor
I at on was set up by the Federal
| government to relieve home owner
! who have pressing mortgages. When
this mortgaged property is assessed
fen hot exceeding 40 percent of its
present appraised value, a cash loan
| will be made for t.he payment of
. taxes-and to make repairs.
When the owner of mortgaged
property is being pressed by the
holder of the mortgage., he can sc
cure a loan at eighty present of the
appraised present day value of such
property from the Home Owners
Loan corporation. This loan, how
ever, is not in cash but in bonds is
sued by the .Home Owners corpor
ation. These bonds are not guaran
teed by the government but the in
terest is guaranteed. The holder of
the mortgage is expected to accept
the Home Owners Loan Corpora
tion bonds in settlement of the
mortgage.but building and loan as
sociations are. forbidden by the state
law to accept these bonds because
they are not an obligation on the
government itself. Were the bonds
a Federal obligation,, building and
loan associations could accept them,
bm their acceptance and ownership
by building and loans is illegal and
without warrant. It is thought, how
p'er, that insurance companies hold
mg home mortgages will accept
these bonds.
-apt. Roberts says this explana
tion is due to be made in order to
relieve building and loans in North
Carolina as unjust criticism.

$1,900 Damages In
Two Deaths
Superior Court On Death Case Three
Day*. Continue Many
Cases.
With a Milt centering about.theJ
death of two people in a railroad
crash at Kings Mountain requiring
three days for trial it was likely
that when the Superior court term
adjourns here this afternoon many
cases set on the civil calendar will
be continued until the week's term
in September.
The court took up the railroad
crossing litigation Monday and did
not complete it until Wednesday
afternoon. The suits brought were
those of M B. Martin, administra
tor for Boyce Martin, and P. L.
Crotts, administrator for Ambrose
Crotts, against the Southern Rail
way. Boyce Martin and Ambrose
Crotts were killed in 1931 at the
crossing in the heart of Kings
Mountain when the car in which
they were riding was struck by a
train. A third person was fatally
Injured In the same crash but this
litigation was settled before coming
into court. The judgment was that
$1,200 be paid the administrator of
Martin and $500 be paid the Crotts
administrator along with $200 for
the automobile. J. R. Davis, Kings
Mountain attorney, represented the
plantiffs in the long-drawn-out
case while Rybum and Hoey rep
resented the defendant.
The court was today devoting Its
[time to clearing up the numerous
, minor suits on the docket with the
intention of continuing until the
next term the bigger litigations
'which could not be disposed of this
week.
Other than the railroad death
suit, only two or three litigations
| have been disposed of during the
week.
Three, Divorces
Three more divorces were granted
, when evidence was heard in be
| tween trial of other cases. These
; were: Fi ances Ayers vs. Douglas

20 Cent Rate
From
Another Angle
(Another of series of articles sub
mitted by the City school board or
the question of a twenty cent tax ti
maintain the schools on last year'
basis.)
Question—Why is the rate askec
20c for one month extended term
whereas it has been only 30c foi
three months?
Answer—tl) The validation will be
lowered 25 per cent so that to pro
duce on $7,184,718, what is beini
produced with the 30c rate on $9,
578,718 would require a 40c rate.
Inasmuch as the extended tern
is one-third the former extender
term only 13,3c would be requirec
to take care of the reduced term
(21 The state has appropriated foi
the pest four years an average oi
$3,765.77 in apply on the extender
term. There will now be no stat<
fund to apply on the extended term
To displace that amount would re
quire a levy on the new valuatioi
of 5.3c.
(3> The state has never at an;
time paid the full C06t of any objec
of expenditure for the six month:
term. It has not participated at al
in the cost of some items. This sup
plement represents approximate^
one-fourth of the entire local cos
which on the reduced valuatioi
would require 10c
To summarize, we need 13 3c fo
the one month extended term, 5.3<
to displace the removed state ex
tended term fund, 10c to cover th<
supplementary costs for the stat
term, 5.3c to displace the removet
state extended term fund, 10c U
cover the supplementary costs fo,
the state term or a total cost of 28.6i
Now teachers salaries are being cu
30 pier cent so that the local oblige
tions would be reduced 7.6c, leav
ing a necessary levy of 20c to main
tain comparable efficiency to tha
of the past year.
Notation: The local schools 'e
530,000 in insurance lapse on build
ings last year to save expenses. In
asmuch as building materials were
down, that reduction could be mad<
without endangering insurance col
lectioas in case of lire.
The state paid $203.00 of the an
nual premium costs of from $1,000 t<
$1200 necessary to cover the schoo
buildings of the city, valued a I
$311,000. If the local schools had tc
operate on the state standards some
$75,000 or more insurance woule
have to lapse annually.
It would be pertinent to ask how
a building would be replaced If the
insurance were allowed to lapse ir
;ase of fire. Kings Mountain
Mooresville and other schools arc
replacing their burned buildings ol
ast year from insurance adjust
ments. There would be no insur
mce adjustments to be made un
ess the premium is met.

Government Issues
A Warning
KillnuUtd That 10 Of 14 Thousand
Acre* Already Destroyed In
Cleveland.
Cleveland county fanner* today
continued the task at plowing up
the cotton pledged by them for des
truction in the government* acre
age reduction program. With th*
Work made caster by recent rain*
it was estimated today that close
to 10 of the 14 thousand acres
pledged for reduction In this county
has already been plowed up or oth
erwise destroyed.
While farmer* here are complet
ing or have completed their pledg
ed destruction a warning was is
sued by the government today that
all pledging cotton reduction would
have to llva up to thetr pledges or
"take the consequences." R. W.
Shoffner, farm agent here, said he
believed Cleveland farmer* would
live up to their contract*, but *e
mlnded that the sooner the pledged
acreage is taken oqt of cultivation
the sooner checks will be received.
Mart Cheeking
Around S00 certification certifi
cates have already arrived from
Washington for Cleveland farmers
and the looal committees yesterday
began their wWk of checking up on
farms where the pledged acreage
has been destroyed Due to the
fact that they had to skip about
in many instances tt will be neces
sary for them to re-track, and It
is hoped to avoid ttlis as much as
possible. For that reason farmers
are urged to get out their pledged
acreage 100 per cent by the time
the committees get around. In
yesterday’s work 2fl contracts were
found to have been filled and were
verified by the committees. When
this verification Is checked by tha
county committee the certificates
will ho to Washington and checks
will be made out and mailed. “If
we could get the certificates In from
Washington faster we could move
along more rapidly here," Agent
Shof/ner said He called attention
to the government warning that all
the pledged acreage must be out
before the committees can pass up
on any of It and urged that this
be done As rapidly as possible so
that the committees might take up
each farm as they-come to it with
out re-traclng or making too many
rounds. Rains this jveek have mada

O. M. Mull took: the opposite view
and expressed great hope over the
recovery measures. He declared

I that its purpose Is to give employ
(ment to millions who are idle and
j living directly or indirectly off of
i those fortunate enough to hold
S jobs. He predicted that in a few
