There is something else folks,
that has been overlooked about
this tax deal in Dare County. The
notices you have received is not
all of it; they only cover values
set on your real estate, meaning
land and buildings.
Drs. Duvall, Swain, Daniels and
company have got another little
needle to stick in soon. It's the
personal property you own, and if
you think you have already had it
all, you've got another think COM
ing. Don't be contented in the be-
lief you've had the whole dose.
Your personal property, which
includes your household and kitch-
en- furniture, nets, boats, cars,
trucks, are going to be taxed and
these will be in addition to that
of which you have been notified.
Many people have yet to learn
what this is going to be.
And let US remind you of some
thing also. The contract made with
the Appraisal Associates of Pas
sale, N. J., includes something else.
This has been overlooked. In refer
ence to rural land values, it pro-
vides that on this property, "the
schedule of values shall be SUBJ
mitted TO an advisory committee
Of local authorities on land, who
shall be required to approve such
schedules"
Have you heard Of any local
committee Of your neighbors in
your township who have been con-
suited, and who have made recon-
mendations, or who passed on the
value Of your property? If You

DARE GRAND JURY
HOODWINKED AGAIN
ABOUT THE AUDIT
Courthouse Officials Steer Them
Into Making Misleading
Report This Week

The Dare Commissioners, in
breaking the law for the past eight
years, with violation of Chapter
252 Public Laws of the 1947 SEES
sion of the Legislature, may have
been guilty of malfeasance in Of
flee. At any rate, the determined
course they have taken, has denied
the people of their lawful right to
have complete public audits for
two years, and to be informed
about their public affairs for eight
years.
Perhaps some of the Commits
sloners are not even aware they
have continually violated the law
and acted in bad faith as well.
But some of them know better:
their Chairman, their clerk, and
their attorney know better
Year after year they have gotten
by with it because some officials
in the courthouse have repeatedly
told the Grand Jury that audits
have been made and the law car
ried out. The Register of Deeds
has most accommodatingly fur
nished reports, all written out, as
again came out of his office this
week, copying also as is done year
after year, the same old trite
words and paragraph of fulsome
flattery hopeful of tickling the ear
of the judge and the solicitor.
This week there were some de-
termined members of the Grand
Jury who were bent on putting in
their report a demand for an up-
to-date audit. They had been read
ing the charges made against the
Board in this newspaper, and our
repeated challenge to the board to
come forward and tell the people
why and how much and where It
went?
We repeat, the last CPA audit
was made for the year ending
June 80, 1856, showing the county
general fund then in the red "a
the tune Of $4,000, a statement
confirmed this week by the auditor
That's the last audit that has
been furnished the board, and still
Is. IT 81
Yet the Grand Jury was tr;cl<ed

UNCLE DOCK FROM DUCK WRITES
Jack and the Beanstak just Piker
Alongside Our County Commissioners

Dear Mister Editor:
You know something has come
to my head ABOUT that old story
of Jack and the beanstalk. He re-
minds me of our county commits
sioners. Jack got to climbing up
out of his latitude, like they did
when they listed the taxes, and he
found a giant that darn near ate
him up. They've surely woke up a
giant too.
Jacks beanstalk was just a
piker compared with the beanstalk
the commissioners have been grow
ing in Dare County. Jacks beam
stalk which growed so fast and so
high must have been in some
mighty rich soil, but our commits
sioners have sprouted a tax value
in our old poor sandy land, watered
it down with sea water and with
sharp lead pencils jumped it the
first time overnight to about $40
million more than they said it was
worth last year. And believe me,
that's going some!
Well, they say it's all in the
figuring, and some of the boys
say the chairman has always been
good man at figuring. He's fig
ured pretty good for himself in
the past five years or so, with his
second the motion mem backing
him up.
AS for me, / have been figuring
for three weeks and wore out six
pencils and the old woman's lip
stick trying to figure out how /
could pay my taxes this year, and
i amt found the answer yet.

French Tobacco Growers Have

| Tar Heel tobacco growers

French tobacco growers, located

reports.
But IL U. s. growers and the
ImcrkcrS of French cigarettes
have their way, French growers
don't have much of a chance to
expand production.
The reasons are simple. u. S
flue-cured leaf is preferred be-
cause of superior quality, and
because of several projects be-
