The Starkville news., 1920-06-04

The assessed value of the personal
and real estate property of Stark
vile today is greater than that of
the county thirty years ago accord
ing to the statement of S. B. Critz,
who has been connected with the tax
assessors office for more than forty
years and who has just completed
the latest report.
Mr.. Critz's report shows that to-
days valuation of the personal and
real estate of Starkville exceeds
$1,36O,000.00 which is an increase
over last year of more than $780,
900. 1t is the biggest gain ever
made by Starkville, says Mr.. Critz.

BOOST WALKER
FOR PRESIDENT

Up to Thursday night no announce
ment had come from Jackson as to
the new president of the A. and M.
College. A committee appointed at
the mass meeting here Tuesday night
met with the Board Of Trustees We'd
nesday and urged that DR.. B. M.
Walker be appointed and bringing
all force possible to bear in his be-
half. AS two of the Board were alb
sent the matter was discussed infor
mally and held up pending a full
meeting.
Mayor R. C. Bridges and K. P.
Washington headed the delegation
from Starkville, which included
Judge, Carroll, DR.. A. A. Wofford,
John Green, John Perkins and Coun-
ty Superintendent of Education c..
e. Scroggins and several others.
They were given to understand that
every feature of the case would be
thoroughly investigated before any
move would be mad and that politics
would be kept out of the appoint
ment.
Of course no reliable forecast can
be made of the future action of the
board but, according to the commit
tee which returned Wednesday night,
the hopes for the appointment of DR..
Walker seem to be greater than ever
before. Final action may be taken
next week or the matter may be de-
ferred for thirty days.
