INCREASED TAX LISTINCS
NOWTALK OF THE TOWN
County Commissioners Held Hearing Last Week and
Will Hold Another. Some Taxpayers Protested
While Others Had No Kick to Make.

There were some stormy
moments at the tax assessment
hearing held here last week by
the board of county commits
sionerS. - The purpose of the
meeting was to give taxpayers
a chance to be heard on the
changes in assessments recon-
mended by the towns board of
aldermen.
The two most spirited pro-
tests against proposed increases
in listings were made by Mrs.
A. A. Kluttz and Henry NJ. Wag-
staff. Some taxpayers made
mflder objections; the greater
number made NIB kick at all.
Another hearing will take
place next Monday, for the bene-
fit of those citizens who may not
have had the opportunity to ap-
pear last week or whose cases
may not have been finally set
b
tied. The meeting will take
place in the office of the town
ship assessor, J. NJ. Whitaker,
above the store of the Chapel
Hill Hardware Company.
One of the three commission
ers, J. d. Webb, of Chapel Hill,
protested at the proceedings.
He said they were not legal, that
they had not been properly adj
vertised, that this was not the
proper way to go about a revi-
sion of tax values. The alder
men present, defending their
recommendations, stuck fast to
their guns, declaring that the OBJ
ject of their revision had
been only to equalize TAX bur-
dens-Which were now known
not to be distributed fairly
and challenged Mr.. Webb to
point out, in specific cases, in
what respect the proposed
changes were unfair, 80.
The other two commissioners,
Messrs. Ward and Wilson, over
ruled Mr.. Webb, went on with
the hearing, and made decisions
upon the proposed changes.
While naturally the suggested
increases on the more valuable
properties attracted the most
attention, these were not so
great in number as the cases in
which there were either small
Increases or none at all. The
majority of the small taxpayers
are not seriously affected by the
aldermen's recommendations.
On last years tax books the
Kluttz home on Franklin street,
including the houses occupied
by Grover Beard and Lucius P.
McGee, the small apartment
building to the rear Of the
Kluttz home, and the brick
Office on the Franklin street
corner, was down at $500; and
the property in the business
section, including the Kluttz &
Co., Sorrell, Pritchard-P -Patter-
son, and Patterson Brothers
stores, the Electric Shoe Shop
and two residences in the rear
fronting on Rosemary street,
was down at about $4,000. In
the recent re-examination Of
values, with a view to equaliza-
ton, the aldermen recommended
that this previous total listing
of about $4,000 be raised to
about 100000, Mrs. Kluttz told
the commissioners it was too
much. i

Chapel Hill ChaF


day l commented on the revolu-
tion in the nocturnal attire of
men, saying that among my ac-
quaintances in Chapel Hill there
were only two or three, SO far
as / knew, who remained loyal
to the nightshirt as against pa
jamas. DR.. Richard H. Lewis
of Raleigh writes:
"This reminds me of a story
that my good friend, the late
Dr., Vines Turner of Raleigh,
told me many years ago. An
old maid and a deaf old bachelor

loudly: No, | prefer the old

Of course there is nothing
that tickles an editors vanity
quite so much as a subscribers
complaining because the paper
doesn't come on time. The COM

on the circulation department

My brother, Ernest Graves,

"Pot," who lives in New York
now, acquired a seven-year-Old
stepson when he got married
last month. The boy had been
calling him Ernest before the
marriage but decided he ought
not to keep that up, and asked
advice of his mother. "Why
not call him Uncle Ernest?" she
suggested. Then he went and
asked advice of the new STEP
father, who said: "Well, you
might call me Pot" Whereat
the boy declared: "You and
