FREIGHT STREET
SCENE OF HOLDUP
Thayer PilIsbury Robbed
of S34 By Man He Con-
Sidered Friend
THE POLICE NOTIFIED

Thayer Pillsbury, 80, who gave
his residence as st Johns parish
house, which Is the headquarters
for many of the city's homeless
and unemployed, complained to the
police late last evening that he had
been held up and robbed by an
erstwhile friend. He claimed that
he was relieved of s34. Whether
Pillsbury was taken for walk, in
stead of the we'll known ride, and
separated from his money Is ques
ton which the authorities have vet
to determine. They figure at PTS
emit that the victim of the attack
made q social error in displaying
his savings and was relieved of the
burden of carrying 1t aruund. His
roll represents fortune to anyone
out of work and dependent upon
the bounty of the city and the
charity of individuals for susten-
ance.
The alleged hold-up took place
on Freight street. The police scour
ed the vicinity of Freight, Riverside
street, Sunnyside avenue and the
Chase boulevard. but found no
trace of Pillsbury's former friend.

COUNTY'S TAX
RATE IS KEPT;
VALUES PARED
Remains at IS Cents Aft
err Is Per Cent Valua-
ton Reduction

With a horizontal cut of 25
per cent in property valuations
already announced. the board of
county commissioners has made
a budget estimate of 95 cents
on each 500 valuation for the
fiscal year beginning July l. This
is the same countrywide rate
that was in effect during tho
past year.
Reference to the budget esti-
mate as published elsewhere in
this issue reveals that some of
the township and district levies
have been increased, but when
the highest of these is added to
the countrywide rate the prop
erty owners will still realize a
substantial saving on taxes be-
cause of the horizontal cut.
Hendersonville township will
have an additional rate of 4
cents, making the full rate 80
cents, while special district rates
within the township will be al
follows: East Flat Rock, Is
cents; Balfour, 16 cents; Druid
Hills Sanitary district, 80 cents.
Clear Creek. Green River and
Blue Ridge townships will not be-
called upon for extra levies as
they have no outstanding obliga-
tions. Other township levies will
be: Grab Greek, 40 cents; Hoop
er's Creek, 80; Edneyville, 25;
Mills River, %.
In view of a tremendous shrink
age in property valuations as
listed and the additional hori-
zontal cut, observers say it is re-
markable that the county board
has been able to keep the coun-
ty-wide rate as low as it was last
year. 1t is said to be one of the
lowest rates in the state.

FINANCIAL INTERVENTION
BY u. s. IN CUBA LOOMING
Americans Have Heavy Investment in Island Republic

Professor Edwin Kemmerer. of
Princeton University, has been
mentioned frequently for this
task. Cuban financiers were in
correspondence with Professor
Kemmerer as long ago as 1927
and he may again be interested
in coming to Cuba should he be

The American stake in Cuba is
enormous. One and one-half bill
lion of dollars are invested in Gu.
ban industry. commerce and pub
lie utilities. Approximately $780,
100000 in bonds and other obli-
cations are owed to American
banks or to foreign bondholders,
mostly in the United States. The
