Hit $l4 Average
For Phone Users

Tabor City folks who subscribe
to telephone service paid an av-
lerage of $l4 each during 1855
in excise tax.
Statistics announced today by
IL. f. Tuten, manager of Caro-
lima Telephone and Telegraph
office in Whiteville, indicate
that Eastern North Carolina Gus
toners paid $l,8OO,OOO in federal
excise taxes in 1858.
Telephone service is taxed at
the rate of 10 percent for fed
eral excise tax purposes. Tutcn
noted that telephone service is
the only household utility on
which federal excise tax is
levied. The telephone company
bills and collects the tax and re-
mits it to u. S. tax collectors.
The excise tax on telephone
service was intended. when a.
dopted many years ago, to be
a temporary wartime emergency
tax but has never been removed
1t was reduced to the 10 percent
rate in 1854.

McCullOch Announces Plans For
Taking 1860 Census in District

Plans for taking the 18th De-
cennial Census of the United
States in the Fouth Congressional
District have been announced by
Congressman william M. McCul-
loch. Lima, largest and fastest
growing city in the district, has
again been designated by the
Census Bureau as the district
census headquarters.
Mr.. McCulloch explained that
a district supervisor will open
the Lima office in January, and
proceed to recruit some 800 tenn
porary enumerators for the sew
en-county task. Five crew lead
ers and 80 enumerators will be
assigned to the job in Allen
county.
Enumerators will receive $12
per day, and census officials es-
innate that starting April 1, they
will work from two to four weeks.
The crew leaders will be en-
ployed from five to eight weeks
at $3.50 per day.
Census officials have advised
the congressman that the dis
trict supervisor can expect four
months employment. The salary
will be approximately $3.50 per
month.

stitutional requirements for this
census to apportion seats in the
House of Representatives, Nc
Culloch said, the results will re-
veal valuable information as to
the size and characteristics of
our populations in states and les
ser political subdivisions. These
figures will be a major element
in the formulas by which large
sums of money are distributed
from the federal government to
the states and from states to
local governments.
The 1860 census will affect the
composition of the legislatures of
many states. 1t will affect the
rights, duties, numbers of GER
tain officials, their salaries and
the number of licenses for partic-
ular types of business. These Of
ficial records will reveal impor-
tant tshifts and spectacular in
creases of populations in certain
areas.

Opening of the pheasant and
rabbit season next Monday at 8
a. m. is expected to send hum
dreds of men into the fields and
woods in the Bluffton area alone.
Game observers in the area
and throughout the state predict
this years hunting yield will be
below last years. Compensating
for this will be the first open
season on quail since 1913. Quail
can be hunted only on state op-
Grated public hunting lands.
Pheasant counts in northwest
ern Ohio were 20 to 30 per cent
below 1858, officials of the Ohio
Division of Wildlife have report,
ed.
Midsummer rabbit production
was also reported to be well be-
low the 1858 highs. Even though
the take of rabbits will probably
drVp below the 1858 high, il
should be as good or better thar
the 1951-5S average.
Game restocking activities car.
ried on by the Bluffton Sports.
mems club should help the pic
ture locally, but the apparent
natural decline in pheasants will
still lead to a drop in the num-
Der of hunters filling their game
bags.
Opening of the season comes
at 9 a. m. Monday for pheasant,
rabbit and quail. Pheasant and
quail season will run until De-
cember 9. Rabbit season does
not expire until January A, 1860.
