Virginia and Pennsylvania. fast and
modern liners, will be reconditioned
ana placed in the new South American

removed from the intercoastal service
by the Panama Pacific Line because Of
heavy operating losses.
The commission intends, Chairman
Land said, to place the three liners in
service on the American Republic Line.
At present this is freighter service
which the commission operates to
South America. Ten vessels are now
in service on the line. When the num-
ber of craft is increased to 13 the COM
mission will offer the whole line for
sale or charter.
This will make available in the

general trade" Chairman Land said.
"If satisfactory bids are not received
the service will be operated by the
commission until conditions appear to
be more favorable for reopening the
line"

CITY TAX SUIT
IS CONTINUED
County Contends 1t Is Not
Involved; to File New
Pleadings

An action seeking to compel the
City Of Hendcrsonvillc to levy a
tax up to SO cents with which TO
help liQuidatc bonded indebted
ness incurred in erecting the city
high school building and in which
Henderson county had been di-
rccted to show cause why 1t
should not levy d tax in the new
school district for the same pur-
pose, was continued in federal
court at Ashcvillc this morning.
\ motion to dismiss the action
had previously been made by NJ.
NJ. Rcddcn, county attorney, who
contcndcd that in view Of the fact
that the school debt was contract
cd by the old city school district,
the city alone should levy the tax.
The court ruled that plcadings

ester and othr? plaintiffs who
previously had secured judgments
against the city, were not broad
enough to involve the county
through the new school district,
and granted the continuance un-
til the plaintiffs have had time in
which to file new plcadingS.
Because Of the continuance, the
question Of whether the court
: hould mandamuS the city
TO levy the tax demanded was not
considered this morning. Antlc-
ipating the hearing today, the
board Of city commissioners re-
Gently voted Il - cent tax for the
