Reserve Board Finds
Industrial Output
Near 1929 Peak
November Index Likely
To Be Around High
When Completed
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Federal Reserve Board indi-
Gated last night that American in
dustrial production is close to the
peak of 1929.
A board statement, while giving
no definite figure for November
said that in the first half of No.
vember industrial activity in
creased further" from the 120 in
deX rating of October. This would
place the November figure close to
the l25 reached by the index in the
prosperous early part of 1929 The
board will not give a definite esti-
mate for few weeks yet.
The November advance, the board
said, was less rapid than in earlier
months" because production in
many industries was approaching
capacity. In October, for instance
the boards production index Jump
ed from Ill to 100.
The rapidity of the advance has
worried some economists who fear
that production may OUTRAGE con-
sumption and force factories to
slow down next spring while con-
sumption catches up.
Most of the report referred to
earlier months in which. the board
said, reports from leading in
dustrlal States indicate that factory
employment and pay rolls increased
sharply between the middle of Sep
tember and the middle of October.
Increases were particularly large at
steel mills and related industries.
There was also a considerable in
crease in employment on the rail-
roads in October"
Retail distribution, the board
said, gained about the usual sea-
sonal amounts in October. but in
the early part of November, de-
partment store sales increased con-
siderably."

age Slight, Reports In

Season So Far

Probably the worst storm OF the
early summer season visited this sec
ton late Thursday, but did COM
paratively little serious damage.
Numerous limbs were blown from
trees, and in a few instances trees
were twisted from their trunks.
City street lights were off for a
brief period in the early evening, but
damages we're quickly repaired.
So far as has been learned, no serl-
Gus damage was done to crops, chief
ly because of the fact that they are
for the most part small as yet. That
is particularly true of tobacco, which
has not taken on great deal of
growth since transplanting operations
were completed.
The storm brought wind, rain and
hail with it, together with severe
lightning and thunder. The cloud
came in from the northwest and at
first let loose a fierce wind, which
brought in the rain, a very heavy
downpour for about half an hour. 1t
was during the hard rain that the
hail broke. in stones the size of small

County Board
To Hear Tax
Cases Monday

Complaints by individual property
owners or corporation representatives
against valuations placed against
their holdings in the 1889 tax listings
for Vance county will be heard be-
fore the Board of County Commits
sioners Monday when that body sits
as a board of review.
Official notice has been given the
public of the fact that the board will
meet next Monday for the purpose,
and hearings will be accorded to all
who appear. AS a rule, however,
very few complaints have been
lodged with the board in past years,
and no great number are looked for
next Monday.
Open listing of taxes for 1889 has
been completed several weeks, and
scroll records by townships are now
being written up. At the regular
monthly meeting the first Monday
in July temporary budget is to be
presented to the commissioners and
final action on that is expected not
later than the regular August meet
ing of the board.
It is not now expected that there
will be any increase in the tax rate
for the coming year, since the new
budget is expected to be about the
same as for the current fiscal year.
