worlds greatest consumer of sugar.

City Bank of New York shows that
the consumption of sugar in the
United States Tor the fiscal year 1917

sumed in 1917 was s Il billion pounds

with 1915. which indicates that peo-
pie are centering all efforts on the
war and postponing unnecessary
building operations until labor shall
be more plentiful and materials
cheaper. They probably will wait a
long time.

High Point Has the High
est Tax Rate of Cities
Its Size

Of all of the cities of the state, lars-
er than High Point, the Property
and Poll tax rate is higher, vel
many of these cities are far in ad-
vance of High Point in improve
ments. High Point stands at the
head as having the highest tax rate.
We have made a list of all cities in a
class with High Point as to popula-
tion,4 of them being much larger yet
with a lower tax rate, ASheVille on
" of the larger cities having q tax
rate more than High Point but this
is summer resort and therefore can
not be compared with other cities
in fair way. Of course there are
smaller towns in the state having a
larger rate than High Point. 1t
seems that the larger the town the
lower the rate.
