also asking for sufficient appropria-
ton TO enable it to renew the pub

continued recently on account OF the
lack of funds. The department re-
ports that it has received many iM-
quiries concerning the bulletin aid

State Taxes Must be Paid Now,

Columbia, Jan. 5.-There will be
no postponement of tax penalties this
year, according TO a statement given
out by Gov. Cooper today, following
a conference yesterday between the
governor, Comptroller General Suth-
crland and state Treasurer Carter.
The conference was prompted by nu.
merous requests from county auditors
for authority to extend the time for
fixing penalties for delinquent taxes.
1t is stated that the state is in such
need or funds. due TO the fact that
heavy obligations are falling due this
month, that the tax money must be
collected. The penalty must be i'm
posed. This is one per cent until
February l.
The state borrowed three million
dollars last spring. This is due at
fthe rate of half million week dur
ing January and into February. Ad-
ditional borrowings face the state
unless taxes are paid in large
amounts.
