CALDWELL UTILITY
SEEKS RATE.LEVEL
Farmers Won't. Buy Unless
Charges Are Same AS
Duke Power Cost
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
n IA ST[V NDVTUT


Raleigh, Jan. 27.-Although present
estimates indicate that the minimum
rates which will be charged by the
Caldwell County Electric Membership
Corporation will be between So and 81
a month per customer if it goes ahead
with it's present plans to spend over
100000 in the rural identification of
the county, Hunter Martin, attorney
for the cooperative, has written the,
State Utilities Commission here ask
ing it to fix the rates to be charged
by the cooperative at the same level
now charged by the Duke Power Com
pany, it was learned here today The
minimum Duke residential rate is now
80 cents a month, as compared with
a probable minimum of from So to
81 month by the cooperative.
Utilities Commissioner Stanley Win
borne replied to Martin Ky pointing
out that the Utilities Commission
could not fix any rates until it could
be informed of how many customers
the cooperative had, how many miles
of electric lines, the cost of these lines
and the annual cost of operating
them. He also pointed out that only a
MED that the Utilities Commission
had any authority over the Caldwell
Cooperative, by Withdrawing it's appli-
cation for certificate of convenience
and necessity. Both the Caldwell Co.
operative and the Rural Electrified
ton Administration in Washington
have maintained all along that neither
the State Utilities Commission nor the
North Carolina Rural Identification
Authority have any jurisdiction over
"a cooperative financed by the Federal
REA and have consistently ignored
both State agencies.
Martin told Commissioner Win
borne the reason he wanted the CO.
operative rates fixed at the same level
as the Duke rates., was because the
farmers in Caldwell county were re-
fusing to sign up for electric service
from the cooperative unless they
could be assured their rates would
be no higher than those charged b.,
the Duke Power Company.

position to a Statewide referendum.
It was not until the absolute neces-
sity of raising more money for State
purposes became apparent that coun-
ty control men began to yield their
previously uncompromising views
against State "meddling," as they
conceived it.
But now that it seems likely there
will be compromise on the question
OF taxing intangibles, with the coun-
ties getting so per cent of funds RAJ
ed by these levies, a better frame of
mind on the revenue situation has
been produced in the county-mined
legislators and they are now about
ready to join with state controllers in
giving the state large slice of liquor
taxes.

STATE FAIR WILL
STILL Be LEASED
Committee Refuses $4,000
Appropriation for State
Operation
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
BY j. G.. BASKERVILLE

Raleigh, Jan. 27-The State of
North Carolina will not undertake to
operate it's own State Fair for at least
another two years yet, but will con-
tinue to have it operated under lease,
as for the past four. years, as a re-
suit of the refusal of the Senate APP
preparations Committee to approve
the bill sponsored by Commissioner
of Agriculture w. Kerr Scott for an
appropriation of $4,000 a year to
the State Department of Agriculture
with which to operate the fair The
committee refused to report the bill
favorably by a vote of 7 to 5, after
considerable debate Tuesday after
noon.
This means that the five-year con-
tract and lease which the North
Carolina Fair Operating Company
now has on the State Fair, and which
has four more years to run, will con-
t;nue for two more years at least, and
that Norman Y Chambliss, of Rocky
Mount and George Hamid of New
York, who are the North Carolina
Fair Operating Company, will con-
tinue to operate the State fair in 1887
and 1888. Under this contract and
lease the company guarantees the
State $4,000 a year and percentage of
profits over that figure.
This past year, the State received
$4,000 net profit from the fair, while
Chambliss and Hamid actually lost
about $1,000, as a result of one rainy
day which reduced the gate receipts
enough to cut what seemed to be
chances for big profits into an actual
loss for them. But the State got it's
$4,000 anyway.

Of spring, Japonica, and yellow jas
mine were used in artistic arrange
ments to decorate the living and din

the appropriations and revenue bills,
until after it is disposed of, partly
because the finance committees are
gong to wait and see what kind of
liquor bills Is passed, if any, before
completing work on their new tax bill.
But another reason for this desire
Tor speed In settling the liquor issue,
Is understood to be the fact that the
governor is being literally deluged
with letters from ministers, w. c.. T.
U. members, drys of all sorts and
many downright "cranks," urging him
to oppose any and all liquor bills, and
that from one to two stenographers
are being kept usy much of the time
replying to these letters.
The facts are, of course. that Gov
ernor Hoey has little if anything to
do with any liquor bills which have
been or may be introduced but that
the fate Of these bills rests almost en-
tirely in the hands of the committees
G which they have been referred and
in tic ,ands of the General Assembly
itself. For the governor of North Car
DINA has no veto power = the only
governor in the United States which
does not have it. So if the General
Assembly decides to pass liquor con-
troll bill, it can do so regardless of
the governors views or feelings with
regard to it.
If those who have been and still are
writing to Governor Hoey with re-
gard to the liquor question would
write to the members of the commit
tee considering the liquor bills, they
might do some good. AS it u.s. all they
are doing is to cause the governor
and his staff a lot more work by Civ
ing them hundreds of additional let
tiers to answer each day

The agreement, said to have
been reached by Promoter Mike
Jacobs, Schmeling himself and
Madison Square Garden, was de-
clared to call for the following:
The withdrawal of the Gardens
injunction suit, thus allowing
Braddock and Louis to proceed
with the Chicago fight.
An absolute guarantee to both
the Garden and Schmeling that
the winner will meet Max in New
York for the title in September.
you can go to sleep on it,"
one man whose authority can.
not be questioned, said today.
"Schmeling has promised Mike
Jacobs that he will go through
with this arrangement, provided
he is satisfied that all parties
to the agreement mean buSi-
ness"
The first step, If any is taken,
will be to ask for a postponement
Of the Braddock- Schmeling fight,
scheduled here for June 8. It was
this fight over which rival fac
tons apparently had irreVocably
broken, Braddock having pulled
out of the contest in order to sign
with Louis as soon as the anti
Nazi boycott against Schmeling
here was announced.
Schmeling and the Garden have
tried everything to make Braddock
change his mind, even to institut.
ing court proceedings against the
Chicago fight. These are still pend
ing, while awaiting decision from
Judge Guy Fake, in Newark, but
it is said now that Schmeling has
just about given up hope.
1t is said, in fact, that he has
reached the rather disquieting con
clusion that. even if he wins the
court decision, he'll still lose Brad
dock. That, in other words, James
will insist upon fighting Louis in
Chicago first-or he won't fight
anybody.
