Tax Increase Appears Certain;
Supervisors Split On Source
Few Appear At
Public Hearing
On Tax Increase

The Prince Edward County
Board of Supervisors split 3-3 on
motion to raise personal prop
erty and real estate taxes so cents
per Sl00 a evaluation and leave
merchants capital tax unchanged,
Supervisors Bruce, Carter and
Dillon favored the increase in real
estate and personal property tax
( but wanted no increase in meTch-
ants capital tax
Supervisors Gates, Jenkins. and
Vaughan favored an increase in
merchants capital tax as we'll as
personal property and real estate
taxes.
The board was unanimous in
is opinion that some increase
would have to be made, and the
deadlock concerned only the
-ource from which to get the ex-
ira revenue.
Vaughan made the original mo-
ton that the proposed so cents
increase and ten cents increase
be made. Bruce made a substitute
motion to the effect that the ten
cents merchants capital tax in
4 crease not be made
I On a vote on the substitute mo-
ion the supervisors deadlockcd
Issue viii Return
4 After considerable discussion.
Chairman Carter suggested that
he subject be left for the time
being and be brought up again
before the meeting ended. and a
tie breaker" be brought in if
necessary to decide the issue.
\ Differences OF opinion hinge on
the fact that merchants already
pay the equivalent of $3.50 and,
even with the so cents increase,
real estate would be only SO 40.
One group feels that equal taxes
should be levied and the other
group points out that there is a
difference in the way of assess
ment. and manner of collecting
the two different kinds of tax.
The ten cents increase in
merchants capital will amount to
about $4,000 and the so cents in
crease in real estate and personal
property will increase revenues
approximately S55,000
Public Asks Economy
Six persons appeared at the
Circuit Court Room Thursday
morning to express their views on
I the proposed tax increases.
Board Chairman Edward A.,
Carter explained that "expendi-
lures are exceeding the income,
and the supervisors are proposing
a tax increase to keep the budget
in balance. The proposed tax in
crease includes a so cents in
crease per $500 on personal prop
erty and real estate and ten cents
, increase on merchants capital.
Carter explained that the coun-
ty VIII have deficit Of s23, 900
at the end Of the current year
and will need s31, 900 additional
to balance the budget for the
coming year. The proposed in
+. creases in tax rates would be suf-
ficient to balance the budget,
Carter said.
Roy Coleman of Green Bay
asked what caused the deficit,
and observed that he thought

If ever there was a time
when talk about 1.-The stock
market" is viciously misleading,
it is today.
And if you've been believing
those headlines reporting that
the stock market" recently has
been advancing to new all-time
highs, clear your head-and
read on.
For in 1857. we haven't had
anything approximating "a"
stock market moving obviously
and strongly in a single di-
rection-up or down.
Blunt Truth
We have had a market in
which hundreds of individual,
well-known popular stocks have
been traded every day at prices
which have been UP a lot, down
a lot, up a little. down a little
and unchanged too. The fact
that the oft-quoted Dow-Jones
average of 80 industrial stocks
has been rising during most of
the past several weeks is worse
than meaningless. for it simply
does not reflect what has been
going on. 1t has been distorting
the picture in a way that can
be painfully costly and dis
llusioning to the amateur.
The blunt truth is that if

month. has been delayed until
around January /.
Paul S. Cooper, Washington
manager of the company, said
the building will have to carry
a heavy floor load. The first
floor will have a display room
and there will be a repair de-
partment for safes in the base
ment. The building will be air
conditioned, with modern light
ing and have the traditional
Mosler clock on the front,
symbolic of timing devices
used.
Architect MILFORD v. Wor-
land of the firm of Patterson
% Worland, explained the con-
tractor has just completed
driving 88 piles an average of
q feet. Filled land was en-
coundered. Heavy traffic at the
intersection is a factor in
putting in strong underpin-
nings. The contractor is the
Tuckman-Barbee Construction
Co.
Mr.. Worland said the con-
tractor is now pouring the base
ment walls. The structure will
be two stories and basement.
