Will Levy the Tax
Comptroller Announces His
Determination.

1t has been finally determined that
the much.talked Of supplementary
school tax provided for in the State
constitution, necessary to raise the
So per capita for the children enrolled
in the public schools of the State,
will be levied. The amount to be
raised will be somewhere between
$50, 900 and S80,000-exactly what
has not yes been determined.
1t will be remembered that during
the session of the general assembly
Mr.. Gage of Chester introduced
Joint resolution to compel the comp
troller general to levy this supple.
| mentary tax in accordance with the
provisions of the constitution. The
matter caused no end of discussion
and came very near passing. Mr..
Gage showed plainly that the consti.
tutional requirement was very en-
phatic.
Since the adjournment of the gen.
eral assembly Comptroller Norton
has worried over this tax considera-
bly,, ina much as it was matter
which affected every taxpayer in the
State. HeMas not willing to carry
the whole burden aud sought counsel.
Yesterday afternoon conference
was arranged for and it was held at
the executive mansion. Comptroller
Norton, Governor Ellerbe, Superin-
tendent of Education Mayfeld and
Assistant Attorney General Town
send were present The mat
ter was talked over in all it's phases,
legal and otherwise. 1t was freely
discussed Finally the conference re.
suited in the announcement by the
Comptroller that he had definitely de.
termined to levy the tax as required.
He said he would make the levy just
as soon as he could go over all the
figures and ascertain the exact
amount it was necessary to raise.
He will get to work at this immedi-
ately This additional tax will be in
the neighborhood of one half Of one
mill, bat the constitution gives no
option to the State authorities f; it
must be levied.-The State.
