Sale of Stock Perquimans County In dustrial Development Cor poration in "its drive to raise $10,000 to reach their goal of $30,000, points out the necessity of securing industry in order to keep taxes in line with the abili ty of the property owners to pay. Due to the increased -cost of maintaining services ne cessary to the protection and well being of those of our county without in creasing taxes it is essen tial that we secure new industry for Perquimans County to take up the gap between this increased cost to the county and the tax revenue collected at pres ent, as well as to create employment for the youth of our county and in this way we will be able to keep them here with their families. Which is better, to buy stock " in youc industrial corporation or pay the same amount in increased taxes each year to meef this increase in cost of city and - county government? The decision is yours to make.
