MAYOR COLE WILL
 MANAGE SALES TAX

Mayor W. D. Cole has accepted the position of managing director of the sales and luxury tax plan for the sup port of the Conway public school. At a meeting of the executive committee in charge of the plan yesterday after noon he consented to take the position, but stipulated that he was to receive no salary.
 "There would naturally be criticism If part of the proceeds of the sales and luxury tax was used to pay for its collection and administration" :" Mayor Cole said. q will take the place and do the best I can to help make the plan succeed, but 1 want it understood that 1 am not being paid anything for my services"
 While the three local banks have been very generously making the col 'lections of the sales and luxury taxes without charge, it has been realized by the committee for some time that some one was needed to give the plan personal attention, check the collec- tions and straighten possible difficult ties in it's administration Mayor Cole was therefore persuaded to take the place and will begin work at once.
 The sales and luxury tax plan will provide a fund of about $10000 a year for the school district. By con tinuing it for another year along with the special subscriptions recently made, heavy inroads can be made on the big debt of the district and its financial condition can be greatly inn proved.
