District Is $50
Richer Because
OF Conscience

Public agitation over the Districts
financial problems apparently has
hurt some ones conscience to the
extent Of $50.
Tax Collector Chatham M. Towers
today displayed a letter in which
was inclosed a $50 bill, along with a
neatly-typed note saying. please
credit this to the delinquent tax
fund"
Towers will place it in the "con-
science fund" on deposit at the Treas
ury to the credit of the District.
The payment IS far from being
the largest of its kind. About a
year ago, Towers received by mail a
payment Of $670 That same day he
had an anonymous telephone call
from q person wanting to know if
he had received the sum.

PARKS ARCHITECTS
DROPPED FROM ROLLS

The bulk Of the personnel in the
branch of Plans and Design Of the
National Park Service that had been
assigned to the National Capital Parks
for landscaping and other services,
has been quietly dropped from the
Government pay roll, it developed to-
day.
Nine persons, including two clerks,
- well as landscape architects and
craftsmen, are involved.
This move, part Of the general
economy program, will seriously ham

tional Capital Parks, in the opinion

ped have been paid for the last few
years out Of Public Works Admins

He said he would not order reports
on all cases as matter of routine
but would look into the situation at

Frowns on One-Judge Plan.
Hazen declined to commit himself
on a plan urged by Maj. Ernest w
Brown, superintendent of police, and
Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer for the creation of a separate
traffic court with one judge assigned
to it permanently
Mai. Brown instructed officers
handling traffic cases justifying major
charges to be sure to gather sufficient
evidence to support such charges
when they come to trial.
Charges Reduced.
In q number OF instances hereto
fore cases Warranting major trials
have been reduced prior to Police
Court action to minor offenses by
the assistant corporation counsels
Office due to lack of evidence support
ing the graver charges. Maj. Brown
explains.
Maj. Brown eventually hopes to
see installed separate traffic court
working on day and night basis, as
provided by an act of Congress in
1925.
"One judge and a uniformity OF
penalties for various offenses is what
we want" he commented. With
different judges handling similar
cases there is bound to be differ
ence Of opinion, resulting in varying
penalties"
Civic and business organizations
may be called upon later to support
the policy, he said.

D. c. TAX INQUIRY
WILL START SOON
Commissioners to Reserve
to Selves Decision on
Revising System.

Study of the Districts difficult tax
condition is to be started soon under
orders of the Commissioners, but they
will reserve to themselves decision
as to whether sales tax an income
tax or a revision of the business
privilege levy will be recommended
to Congress next session.
This was the outline of the pro-
gram given today by Commissioner
Melvin c. Hazen as the District Tax
Committee. headed by Auditor Daniel
]. Donovan, prepared to start sur
vey authorized under a $4,000 appro-
priation approved by Congress as q
part Of the new omnibus tax act.
At the first meeting of the COM
mittee, held late yesterday, the Com
missioners decided to appoint Leslie
Gillis, jr., OF the Senate's Legislative
Reference Bureau to be an investi-
gator for the survey group. He will
be paid $3.50 month out of the IS 900
appropriation and will be assigned
first to make a comparison of license
fees and bank and utility taxes in
Washington and cities of similar size
AS general background the COM
mittee decided to make a forecast of
the operating expenses and "rea-
sonable" amount of capital improve
ments expected to be needed il the
next seven years, or through the
fiscal year 1945. This would be
matched by estimates of anticipated
revenues from the same period.
The committee, therefore, would
indicate the needed sums for tax
revenues during the seven-year peri
cd. Hazen's explanation was that
the Commissioners would undertake
to determine if additional needed
sums over the Districts normal taxes
should be raised by revision and
continuation of the business privi-
lege tax or by adoption of a sales tax
or by adoption of an income tax
Hazen's belief was that one of
these three would be needed, since
Congress found it necessary to invoke
the business privilege levy and to
hike the rate on real estate and
tangible personal property from $3.50
to SITS to meet the Districts 1898
budget. He suggested that a combi-
nation Of an income tax and busi-
ness privilege tax might be the out
come. It is his personal hope that
the real estate and personal prop
erty tax rate might be reduced from
$l.75 to at least $l.60, he added.
Tax Assessor Fred d. Allen yester-
day filed his annual report with the
Commissioners, showing that assess
ments on real estate during the last
fiscal year ended June 80 amounted
to $l7167,314, or an increase of
$l9o,339 over the 1896 fiscal year.
The assessed valuation for private
real estate was $l,144,457,153 The
check made by District assessors
against green sheets" of income re-
turns to the Bureau Of Internal Reve-
nue., he reported, added Ais new
accounts to the Districts personal
property tax list and brought $399, ,933

ury.

posal plant and it's condition. He oc-
cupied the witness stand much of the
afternoon Wednesday, and called the
plant obsolete and inadequate for the
city's needs He said sewage disposal
plants like this one had not been sold
in Is years or more.
k~I4
nesses were sent to the stand to say
that the condition of the plant is
"bad" They claimed some knowledge
of the situation by way of observa-
ton.
The plaintiff alleges damage to its
property in the vicinity of the dis
posal plant by reason of offensive
odors emanating from the place.
Representing the plaintiff are B. H
Perry, R. C. Kittrell, J. c. Kittrell and
T S. Kittrell, and appearing for the

Liquor Store Will Limit
Purchases To One Gallon
ABC Board Votes Measure in Hope of Controlling
Problem That Much; Net Profit Made So Far Is
Around $4,000; County Has Been Paid $55OOO

operating on lower price scales.
New restrictions on quantity limita-
tions of liquor sales to one gallon be-
came effective as quickly as the store
managers could be notified after the
board voted the new policy at meet
ing in the forenoon today.
The new Statewide county option
liquor legislation becomes effective
as soon as the State liquor board can
be constituted and organized, the local
chairman said. He stated that he un-
derstood Governor Hoey would ap-
point the chairman of the State board
by April 1, and that the organization
would start functioning as soon as
possible thereafter.
When the new law takes effect, and
when the new State sales tax of seven
percent on liquor sales is applied, this
item will be added to sales in the local
store
Mr.. Mcmillan, one of the officials
of the New Hanover county liquor
board is prominently mentioned as
the possible appointee as chairman OF
the new State board. Mr.. Crudup said
a meeting of the association of State
ABC boards would be held in Wilson
tomorrow night to discuss their status
under the new State law and to deter
mine upon uniform policies of proce-
dure as nearly as possible.
Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1937-03-11

In an effort, Chairman t. H. Crud-
up said to exercise greater control
over LIQUOR sale and consumption in
Vance county, the Vance County AL
coholic Beverage Control Board de-
cided today to place limit OF one
gallon on the amount of lntoXlcants
any single individual could buy at one
time. Heretofore the limit has been
four gallons.
While it would be possible for
stranger to present himself at the Ii
ouor store more than once a day for
larger quantities of liquor than the
gallon limit, no one person will be
sold more than that maximum in a
single day if the identity can be es-
tablished under the new ruling, Mr..
Crudup explained. In addition to Mr..
Crudup, the other members OF the
liquor board are Henry T. Morris and
George A. Rose, Sr.
Mr.. Crudup said today the store,
since it opened and began business
on uly Is. 1885, had made net profit
of approximately $90000 of which
$4,000 had been paid over to the
county for such uses as the county
commissioners saw fit to make of it.
The present stock of liquor is some
thing in excess of SIT 900, all paid for,
and the A. B. c. board has $4,000 on
deposit in local banks. No estimate
was given as to the value of fixtures
in the store.
When the new Statewide county OPP
ton liquor act goes into effect, carry
ing a tax of seven percent as a sales
levy all of which is to be paid the
State, the local store will pass the tax
on to the purchaser adding the seven
percent to the price of the liquor.
Heretofore the price of the intoxi-
cants has included the sales tax of
three percent. In this way, the profit
to the county will not be reduced Mr..
Crudup, said, however, the board
would endeavor to hold the price
down to point that would retain IL
quor purchases in the legal store
rather than drive it to bootleggers,
