$40 SCHOOL TAX
ENDORSEDBYBA
Lawyers, However, Are
Far From Unanimous
On Plan

At a meeting of the Americas Bar
association Saturday at the court
house, a resolution was adopted for
mally endorsing the proposition to
levy a Communication tax of not over
$40 annually to provide needed rev.
enue. The resolution provides also
that part of the funds raised by this
tax may be diverted to the school
fund. This resolution was ADOPT
ed on recommendation of commit
tee composed of Hollis Fort, j. A.
Hixon and r. L. Maynard.
Prior to the passage of the above
resolution, Mayor Sheppard had Of
fered a resolution that the bar asso-
citation receive the report and that the
necessity for raising the money
wanted for the support of the schools
be recognized and endorsed, but that
the bar association refrain from en-
dorsement of the plan proposed by
the committee for raising funds This
resolution was adopted unanimously.
There was a 2-hour discussion of
the first resolution, ]. A. Hixon ask
ing the members of the bar to express
themselves freely, owing to the fact
that he was not entirely satisfied him
self with the provisions of the meas
ure. 1t was the best solution of an
emergency situation that could be de-
vised, he said after the meeting, and
/ wanted to know if any of those
present could present better solu-
tion of the problem.
The lawyers were far from unani-
nous in their opinions on the matter,
the final vote, after discussion being
8 to 6. Mayor Sheppard, who was
present at the meeting refrained from
participation in the arguments, but
listened with keen interest to the rev
marks of the others who expressed
themselves. Stephen Pace one of Sum-
ter's representatives in the legisla-
ture, engaged in the discussion, ad-
vancing the opinion that the needed=
revenue should and could ba raised
through the raising of taxable values.l
Others who expressed themselves adj
vocated various plans for settlement
of the problem, but it was finally,
decided by the vote indicated that the
levy of commutation tax as indi-l
Gated offered the best settlement at
this time.
