STATE TRUST
CO. OBSERVES
BANK HOLIDAY
Prepared to Meet Deposi-
tors Demands in Full;
Acts Under Orders
OPEN HOUR DAILY
FOR MAKING CHANGE

Although it was prepared to
meet demands of depositors in
full, if necessary, the State Trust
company was closed today in con-
formity with orders issued by
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
and Gov. J. C. B. Ehringhaus.
The orders were issued. from
Washington and Raleigh and were
mandatory. They declared a
three-day holiday. with possibility
that the holiday will be extended
if uniform regulations governing
reopening can not be worked OFT
before Thursday.
Meanwhile, and until further
notice. the State Trust COMPANY
will be open from 9 until 10
o'clock every morning for MAX
ing change and for the accommo-
dation of safety box holders.
A Geographic copy OF the state
wide order was posted on the
doors of the State Trust company
before opening time this morning,
but the doors were open and a
few persons entered to discuss the
situation with officials and en-
ployes of the bank, all OF whom
were at their posts. To these per-
sons and others, the officials eX-
planned that while the bank was III
fluid condition and could have re-
NAMED open. meeting whatever
demands that might have been
made by depositors. they had no
/ choice in the matter.
The order to close had not been
anticipated here until Saturday
night when a conference OF state
bankers with Quincy L. HOOD
state banking commissioner. de-
! cided that interests of bankers
and depositors alike would be best
served by declaring a holiday;
! Every state in the union had
clamped restrictions on banking
operations, and after New YORK

Saturday afternoon and Sunday
officials fully intended to reopen
TODAY for the regular routine OF

two years ago. the assets OF the
bank had been kept in unusually
liquid condition.
When it became known Satur-
day night that a statewide holi-
dav probably would be declared,
officials of the State Trust COM

such an exception could not be
made.
Belief was expressed here today

I6:55 a. m. today from effects of
a bullet fired by Giuseppe Fan

The herioc 19-day battle of

HORIZONTAL REDUCTION FOR
PROPERTY VALUES in COUNTY
SEEN AS RESULT OF NEW LAW
Maximum Cat as Provided by Law Would Lower Valu
alton in Henderson From $27,0OO,0OO to
$4,000, 900: No Funds With Which
to Make Retaliation

! Belief that a horizontal cut
will be ordered on property valu-
ations in Henderson county, in
stead of a revaluation, was eX-
pressed here today after it had
become known that the general
assembly has passed bill pro-
viding the necessary machinery.
The statewide act, which will
be ratified within a week or 10
days, gives boards of county
commissioners authority to make
horizontal reductions or to re-
value all property, while local
bills are being planned to make
revaluation mandatory in some
counties. The act just enacted
provides 'that the reductions in
values of real estate shall not
exceed in the aggregate 33 Id
per cent"
T. l.. Durham, chairman of the
Henderson county board of COM
missioners, is known to favor a
horizontal cut instead of revalua-
ton for the reasons that no pro-
vision has been made in the bud
get for the expense of revalua-
ton this year, that revaluatlon
would require considerable time
as well as expense, and that
there is no actual basis on which
property can be revalued at this
time. Other public officials hold
the same view, pointing out that
revaluation would result in as
many inequalities as now exist
while a horizontal cut would ap'
ply with equal effect to all prop
lerty owners.
The present property valuation
lin Henderson county is approx
mately $27,O00,000. II the maxi
mum cut now authorized by law
were applied. the total on which
1884 taxes would be based would
be 100000. There is little
chance. however, that a cut Of
more than 20 or rs per cent
could be made here. While 6
substantial reduction of property
values usually has the effect OF
raising the tax rate the opinion
has been expressed here that il
the state removes the Is cen
levy now collected for the ex
tended school term. as contem
pleted, the county could reduce
property values 20 per cent and
with the application of stric
economy, keep the tax rate at o,
near the present SIS cents level
