No. 6. “Your tax bill Is $60 this year and incidentally, while you are paying it, it might please you to know that the average taxpayer pays seven major county taxes, which on the average goes to 13 different objects. As a whole the county has 51 ob jects of taxation.” Not in so many words, but essen tially that is what happens to each dollar that comes into the county tax coffers. This information was gained from the office of the county auditor j who is busy now from morning till! night keeping account of the money which comes to the county treas ury.

Mauna Loa Pours 4 Lava Streams On Mountainside | HILO, Hawaii, Nov. 22.—(AP)— The Mauna Loa volcano sent a vast 'flow of lava, 13 miles long, down its slopes early today with a possibility that it might be' diverted toward this city of 20,000 forty miles away. The river of fire neared a critical point at the Mauna Loa-Maunakea saddle on tyie great mountain, through which it might turn toward Hilo or away. With undiminished activity new fountains of fire placed old ones in the crater. The volcano was stirred from two years slumber last night by an earthquake which also sent a small, but damaging, tidal wave against the shores of the island. The eruption lighted the country side with a blaze clearly visitble in Honolulu, 200 miles away. Observers estimated the eruption probably will last about three days. masons to hold meeting THIS EVENING AT 7:30 A regular meeting of the Masonic lodge 202, will be held this evening at the Masonic temple, beginning at 7:30.

Paving Is Certain, Promises Baise Connecting Link Is Finally Approv ed For Grading Structures, Surface. Definite assurance was received from Raleigh today for the con struction of the proposed highway project near Toluca, and bids on 12.57 miles will be asked December 5. The information was received from Vance W. Baise, state highway engineer, who said the work was one calling for “grading, structures, and surfacing.” It is the road south of Newton, connecting Route 18 with Route 73. This was interpreted locally to mean that Route 73 (or Routes 17 and 113, as popularly known) will be paved all the way to Route 18 instead of only seven miles beyonr the intersection with No. 113 south of Newton, as had previously been announced. Some time ago it was announced from Washington that federal funds had been approved for on! a seven-mile extension of No. 73 thus leaving about a four or five mile gap before reaching the Mor ganton-Shelby road. Now, however, according to the project announced by Mr. Baise the entire stretch will be paved, as the new project calls for 12.57 miles instead of only sev en. Mr. Baise said today an agree ment had been reached with offic ials of the federal bureau of public roads over differences , on WPA and regular federal aid programs which include expenditure of about $5,500,000. Plans for the programs will be submitted to Washington within two weeks, Baise said. He had con- I ferences on the matter this week with Charles H. Moorefield, district federal road engineer. Baise announced the commission road and'Street projects, estimated to cost $840,000. Included In this list is the Catawba-Lincoln county project.
