POLICE CENSUS FOR HIGH POINT

Mayor Tate has arranged to take
a complete and absolutely accurate
police census of the entire city be-
ginning at once. This census will
include every person of school age,
every person subject to poll tax,
every horse, mule, cow, hog or other
personal property and in fact every
thing of value in the way of accu-
rate knowledge as to our population,
our taxable property, and other val
liable information
The new city map which the
mayor is preparing for taxing pur-
poses will show on it every piece of
real estate in the city and the own
er of same and by verifying the tax
returns this year it is intended to
locate unlisted property and tax the
responsibility on persons who may
have failed to make proper and ac-
curate returns to the tax lister.
The result of this census will be
awaited with much interest by our
people as the estimates now beng
made indicate that our present pop
ulation will pass 10000 by con
siderable amount.
By the federal census of 1917
High Point ranked ninth among
North Carolina cities, being credited
with a population of 9,525 The
eight in excess Of this are ranking
in the order named: Charlotte
Wilmington, Raleigh, Asheville, Dur
ham, Winston, Greensboro and New
Bern. New Bern is credited witt
only 400 more than High Point, am
+ it is probable that now High Poln
outranks New Bern. 1t is estimat
: ed that the new census will show
population of from 10000 to "A 90
people. By the census of 1890 Hig
Point had a population of 4,163 an
ranked 18th among North Carolin
cities.

NEW)TAX LEVY IS MADE FOR
COUNTY.

Rate is Increased Eight Cents on
Hundred Dollar Valuation-Poll
Tax is Unchanged,
The levy of the taxes of Guilford
county for the ensuing year was
made Tuesday afternoon by the
county commissioners before ad-
journment of the June meeting OF
the board. Several changes were
made over the levy of the past year,
and the county tax was raised from
81 1-3 cents OH the 500 to SO 2-3.
The poll tax remained unchanged.
One of the chief differences in the
levy was in the amount apportioned
to the upkeep of bridges and roads
in the county. This was raised from
Is cents to % 1-3, adding s 1-3
cents to the county funds for this
one item.
By this change, the county levy
of II l-3 cents on the 500 was les
sened to 10 cents and the subtract
ed portion was added to the general
state levy. With the subtraction of
2 1.2 cents from the general levy
for the county expenses and the in
crease of the levy for road and
bridge work by 8 23 cents, the
county levy is augmented exactly
6 cents, while the remainder of the
8 1.3 cents total increase in the levy
goes into the state treasury.
The board also made the annual
appropriations for road repair work
of the townships. These appropri'
ations were made as follows:
Washington. $500; Rock Creek
$500; Greene, $500; Madison, $500
jefferson. $500; Clay, $500; Monroe
$500; Gilmer, 5000; Fentress, $500
| Center Grove, $500; Morehead, $500
Sumner, $500: Bruce, $500; Friend
ship, $500; Jamestown, $500; Oal
Ridge, $500; Deep River. $500; Higl
