N. c. Budget item
Governor Mclean Repor Finan
cial Standing of State Years
Show Prof

Raleigh, July L state of
North Carolina closf books on
the first biennium the eXecu-
tive budget system surplus in
its general fund account of $1,403,-
5S3, Governor Mclean disclosed to-
uay in offering to the public an ac-
counting of mis- financial stewardship
under the legislation provided by the
1927 legislature.
The amount represents the cash on
hand after meeting all Obligations
and paying all bills for the two-year
period, July l, 1925 to June 80, 1927,
for which the 1925 assembly made
appropriations and levied taxes.
1t will be returned to the state
treasury, the governor anrounc
''for the future relief of the tax
payers" contributing to the support
of the expanding operations of the
state for the biennium that began
July /, and reducing by the amount
of the surplus the levy on the public
necessary to maintain the govern
mental functions.
The vastly greater part of the sur
plus was created during the first fis-
cal year of the late biennium, the
balance at the end of June so, 1926,
amounting to $1,259,824 The bal
ance for the year July 1, 1926, to
June 80, 1927, amounting to only
$133,759 as the result of necessary
increases in state expenditures and
unexpected failure in tax collections.
Budget officials in May estimated
that the balance for the year would
be some 800 thousand dollars great
er, giving to the biennium a surplus
of $1,700,000 instead of 1,403, ,563,
but the collection of license and in
come taxes for the month of June
fell $30C 300 below expectations and
leaving a corresponding shortage in
the estimate as to the years cash
balance.

Jerusalem, Palestine, July 11.-An
earthquake of widespread and severe
character has occurred in Palestine
and Transjordania, officials reports
indicate. The unsubstantial charac-
ter of the native buildings caused
casualties disproportionate to the ma
terial damage, which was mostly
slight. The casualty list, which is
incomplete, places the number of
dead at 26 and the injured 80 in the
Jerusalem district, but in the city
itself only one person thus far has
been reported killed and IL injured.

Messrs. James Shull, Frank Dough
erty and others, good road enthusi-
asts of johnson county, Tennessee,
were in Boone Monday conferring
with the board of county road COM
missioners and other representative
citizens relative to the improvement
of the link of road between No. 60 at
Sugar Grove and the Avery county
line
According to the Tennesseeans, the
highway commission of that state is
now favorable to the construction of
a modern thoroughfare between
Elizabethton aand Mountain City,
Tenn. They are anxious that the road
be routed from Butler up the river
through the Beech Greek country to
Sugar Grove, then into Mountain
City over the Boone Trail. This,
they think, can be accomplished now
provided the North Carolinaa COM
mission will cooperate. To this end,
Watauga county officials are en-
deavoring to have Highway Commits
sioner Frank Page come here and go
over the matter personally. This he
will likely do as he has promised to
make a visit to this section this sum-
mer. Watauga county's link is al
ready graded and it will no doubt be
easy to get the state commission to
put the finishing touches on while
Tennessee is ready to do her part.
Avery county has short link, which
has been a drawback, but that coun-
ty is said to be will to cooperate.
1t is safe prediction that Wat
auga county officials are going to
see the project through n some way
now that the iron is hot. If the
state is willing to assist The county
in maintenance in the next few
months there will be q new and
modern outlet into our sister state,
and thereby open up one of the
choice sections of the county-Beech
Creek-veritably a hidden empire.
