The city approved a plan by the Lions club to issue a city directory for Shelby at its first of the month meeting last night at the city hall. The Lions club proposes to designate numbers for the houses and vacant lots and ask the residents to buy them at a nominal no-profit price, after which a census will be taken and all data compiled for a com plete directory, properly classified. Tire city will go to no expense in the matter. Mayor McMurry reported that he had written letters to two property owners who had covered residences with wooden shingles in violation of the city’s fire code, but no reply had been made to the notices to remove the wooden shingles and recover with fire-proof or semi fire-proof roofs. They have thirty days to act. The fire rating bureau threatens a ten percent increase in all insured property if the wooden shingle ordinance is violated. The First National bank was again approved as a city depository for funds. Each year the city is re quired to designate a depository, wherein public funds are protected by bonds. Asks Landlords To Pay Poll Tax For Their Tenants County Auditor McKinney Suggests l.anlords raving And Deduct ing To Save School Levy, Landlords arc asked to pay poll tax and personal property tax for their tenants and deduct the amount from the tenants part of the cotton in order to abolish the two cent special school tax levy, by County Auditor Troy McKinney. McKinney made the following public appeal today to the tax pay ers in Cleveland county: "At present we have on the books of Cleveland county approximates’ $15,000 of uncollected Poll tax and personal property tax. The greater part of this tax was listed by ten ants and due to the low prices of cotton for the past three years they have been unable to pay. However, with the price now above 10 cents I see no reason why those b°ck years could not be paid by the land lord and deducted from the ten ant’s cotton. "Due to the small payments tor these years it was necessary to add! to our regular tax rate for 1933 two ( cents for a. specy: tax to be used in the upkeep and repair of the school buildings of the county for which purpose the greater part of Poll tax is used. This tax of course will be paid by the land owners be cause the tenant was not made to pay his poll tax. Therefore, may I earnestly beg that you land lords see to it that your tenants and ex tra hands employed and paid by you pay their poll and personal tax, and if necessary deduct it just the same as you would the fertilizer and oy doing this I am reasonably sure the special levy of 2 cents could be done away with by next year. If you dent to it that they pay the burden will fall on you by your property having a higher tax placed on it.” Fair Week Gives Court Big Grind County Court Disposes Of Over 100 Cases.

Hope To Prevent Eviction On Farms Where Mortgage Foreclosures Near Morgrnthau Wants Any Farmer Threatened With Ouster To Let Him Know. Washington, Oct. 4.—Hope that no more farmers would be forced off mortgaged farms was expressed this week by a delegation of middle westerners representing the Na tional Farmers' union and the Na tional Farmers' Holiday association, after a conference with Henry Mor genthau, jr., governor of the farm credit administration. They said Morgenthau had au thorized them to announce that any farmer who was in danger of ■H foreclosure or eviction might tele graph him—collect—and the case would be taken up directly with the creditor in an effort to refinance the farmer's mortgage debt. “Morgenthau told us it was the farm credit administration’s Job to prevent foreclosures and •»victions, and that he wanted the problem thrown in his lap,” said E. E. Ken nedy, secretary of the National Farmers' union and spokesman of the delegation. The group is pre paring a “code for agriculture" for submission to the NRA * Continued an Pa2e 8/ i Tax Foreclosure For ’30, ’31 Tax Comes On Nov. 1 Discount No Longer For Two Years Total Of $17.800 Unpaid Turned Over To Attorney Knr Collection, The 10 percent discount on all advertised and unpaid 1930 and 1931 Cleveland county taxes was discon tinued by the county commissioners this week and the list turned over to Peyton McSwain county attorney for collection.

Cleveland county's annual finan cial statement (not Including the school fund) is published In today’s Issue of The Star as is required by law and reveals two very Interest ing facts. At the end of the fiscal year, June 30th, the county had $90,195 cash on hand and operated $6,394 under the budget estimate of the year's expense. There were deficits in the state school fund and the county schools and special schools which made It necessary to put two cents in the tax levy this year to make up for non-payment of poll tax and personal property tax of those who did not own real estate. This deficit in the school was due to the decrease in revenue from poll tax. court fines and forfeitures which ordinarily go to the support of the schools. The audit this year was made by George Dumbhart and Co, certified public accountants of Charlotte. Rotary Governor In Shelby Friday Hubert Phillips, Of Asheville, To Be Special Guest Shelby Club.
