OF Tax By Bonds
Helps Taxpayers
r. P. Packard Gives His
Experience In Florida
Transaction

R. P. Packard, we'll known
Hendersonville and Florida bust
ness man, gives The Times-News
information about payment of
taxes in Florida with bonds. Mr..
Packard is a property owner in
Lakeland, where, he says. ar
engagements have been made to
pay taxes with bonds; and Mr..
Packard says that he has effect
cd a saving of as much as forty
per cent in the payment of his
own taxes in Lakeland.
In Lakeland bonds are receiv-
ed in payment of current or past
due taxes. provided certain pro-
portions of the taxes are paid in
cash according to the years for
which the money is due. Paving
assessments are also payable
with bonds, either current or
past due assessments, or the full
amount of assessments. A saw
ing of 35 per cent can be OBJ
tanned by paying paving assess
ments with bonds.
Mr.. Packard says this plan has
worked we'll in Lakeland; that
the city is improving its finan-
cial position; and that there IS
some demand for real estate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 (UP)
-President-elect Roosevelt would
have dictatorial powers over the
public purse to save money. and
balance the budget, including
authority to reduce war veter-
ans compensation, under legis-
lative act which Speaker John
n. Garner will seek to put
through the house.
Gamers attempt to make the
incoming president virtual die
tator in money matters came to
light today when he instructed
Rep. James p. Buchanan, DEM,
Texas, acting subcommittee chair
man, to draft an amendment
broadening still further the UNI
usual power granted Roosevelt
by the senate to reorganize the
government in the economy bill,
Garner said this power must be
granted, as congress can not 90

Buchanan revealed yesterday
the amendment he contemplates
goes far beyond the authority, to
eliminate and consolidate bu-
reaus, as provided by the senate,
and would confer these sweeping
executive powers, not hereto

LAST VICTIM !.
IS RECOVERED
BEFORE NOON
Full Force OF Men Work.
ed In Efforts To Dig
Into Slide
BODIES DISFIGURED;
HARD TO IDENTIFY

Forty-five hours after an
avalanche Of earth and stone had
buried seven workers at the
quarry of the Blue Ridge stone
and Lime company, near FleL-
cher, on Wednesday afternoon,
the last body, that Of Styles
Webb, a white man, was remoy-
ed from the quarry at 1885
o'clock this forenoon. Like all
the other bodies that had been
removed from the quarry after
the tragedy there, it was man
gled. but not beyond recogni.
ton.
Shortly afterward the crowd.
in which a thousand or more
people had been drawn to the
site Of Henderson county's most
serious industrial tragedy during
the. forenoon. began to dwindlc.
Up to that time all the men who
could possibly be worked to ad-
vantage in the recovery of the
bodies had been engaged in seek
ing to remove them from the tons
of rock and earth that fell with
only enough warning for the one
escaping man in the quarry to
yell to his comrades that the
danger was impending.
Four bodies were recovered
last night and two more, Frank
Praetor and James Moore, were
recovered about o'clock this
morning.
This puts an end to the heroic
efforts made by the rescue crews
in the quarry during the IS
hours that. tons of rock. crunbl-
ed from the side Of the huge
quarry, held the bodies of seven
victims of one of the greatest
tragedies in the history Of this
section.
The four bodies recovered last
night We're:
Will Wooten, 2S years old, of
Fletcher; Hosea Shipman, 80
years old, of Fletcher; Bowscr
Collington, 45-year-old negro,
Brickton; and Walter Collins, SO
years old, negro, also of Brick
ton.
Volunteer rescue workers this
morning concentrated their en-
tire efforts upon the recovery Of
the body of the seventh victim
Styles Webb. Officials Of the
Blue Ridge Lime & Stone COM
pany feared that recovery OF
Webb's body will be difficult,
since no one seemed to remcm-
Der in what section of the quar-
ny the young man was working
at the time.
The seven bodies were badly
mangled. and in some instances
the workers had difficulty in
identifying the men. The condi-
ton of the bodies indicated that
all of the seven men were killed
instantly, it was said.
Positions of the bodies when
found suggested that the victims
were fleeing from the slide when
it caught them and crushed their
bodies against the rock floor OF
the gigantic quarry.
J. F.. Brooks, coroner Of Hen
derson county. was examining
the remains of the men as they
were recovered and was signing
death certificates to permit
burial.
Families of the five white men
who were victims in the tragedy
have indicated that they will hold
joint funeral services for them.
Definite arrangements for the
funeral had not been completed
at noon today. The body Of
Shipman was taken to the Rey-
nolds Funeral home in Asheville
at an early hour Friday morning.
Every available device has been
enlisted in the search for the
bodies of the victims. Aid in
the search was given Thursday
by some so convicts from the
state convict camp in Hender-
