QUICK ACTION is NECESSARY
TO PREVENT cURTAllMENT

Raleigh.


Information is coming to the state
department OF education that in the
leyyng OF the school tax in some OF
the counties a serious error is being
committed that will either curtail the
school terms to three or four months
or cause immediate and radical read
justment OF the school tax levy.
State Superintendent Brooks is call
ing on the county superintendent OF
schools to investigate as to their
counties at once and see that there
are readjustments on proper basis
where the error that is causing the
trouble has been committed
The state law provides accent tax
for schools and then enables the
counties to levy an additional county
tax NJ to 80 cents. whatever is neces-
sary to meet the requirements and
assure the county's share so that the
state tax can be paid over in pre-
scrbed ratio. The reports to the
state department indicate that num-
beers Of the counties have made the
mistake OF only leyying county
school tax that will make the whole
school tax state and county 35 cents,
instead of the possible g. cents.

there to take charge Of the first real
outbreak OF typhoid fever reported
this summer.
The physicians facts are meager,
but the reports show the stricken men
to be all in close community is
miles from drug store and poorly
fixed for treatment. The outbreak Is
traced to a spring in tie vicinity. No
deaths have been reported, but II Is
very probable that some have oc
cured.
Lincoln put on its vaccination cam
palgn this year and 1000 were i'm
munized But this was very small
percentage OF the population. Dr.
Register will put on anew the vaccina
ton campaign and see II the number
vaccinated cannot be quadruplicated
in q short while.
Similarly. he hopes that other coun'
ties. which constitute a small per-
centage OF the whole. will renew their
fight. Substantial results have been
gained in the reduction OF the typhoid
death rate. This was to have been
the banner year and the health de-
partment hopes to make II so in the
