STATEWIDE TERM
OF EIGHT MONTHS
SEEN AS ECONOMY
(Continued from Page One.)
State-supervised eight months school
term, in the opinion of Dr. A. T. Al
len. State superintendent of public in
struction, and others who have made
a careful study of the school problem
in North Carolina. Dr. Allen points
out that he has consistently recom
mended this longer term as an econo
my and tax reduction measure since
1929, and that the Educational Com
mission recommended such a course
to the 1931 General Assembly.
"I have not yet prepared any de
finite figures on how much could be
saved, although I am convinced that
the saving would be substantial.” Dr.
Allen said.
It is pointed out that about the only
property tax reduction the 1933 Gen
eral Assembly can make that will
reach back to the counties is the re
moval of the 15 cents tajt for the six
months term, unless it should go far
ther and set up a Statewide eight
months term and thus relieve the tax
payers fn 1.080 special tax and char
ter districts of the heavy taxes they
are now paying. These taxes vary
from a minimum of 17 cpnts to more
than 50 cents in many districts. If a

should be apt up. all the special tax

maintaining an extended term would
be abolished, and a small countywide
tax put on instead. It is estimated
that a tax of 20 cents on the SIOO val
uation levied in all the counties would
be sufficient to maintain the State
wide eight months school term, with
the State paying the entire cost of
the six months school term from re
venue derived from other than ad
valorem taxes.
At present time, according to the
most reliable figures obtainable, the
six months and extended terms are
costing between $24,000,000 and $35,-
000,000 a year. Os this amount, $lB,-
800.000 is being paid by the State,
while the 1,080 special tax and special
charter districts are paying about $5,-
500,000. But if all these 1.080 t*xi dis
tricts could be abolished and the eight
months term put on a Statewide basis
on a uniform budget. Just as the six
months term is now operated, It is Es
timated that the eight months, term
could be operated for $22,000,000 a
year insead of $24,000,000 a year, as at
present. At the present time 57 per
cent of all the white school children
in the State are already in eight or
nine months schools. By setting up a
Statewide eight months term, fully
$2,000,000 a year can be saved .taxes
reduced for most taxpayers and 100
per cent of the school children be
placed in eight months schools.
The set-up for the eight months
term, on the assumption that the pre
sent 15 cents State tax is abolished,
would be abou as follows:
From State for six months
term $15,750,000
From 20 cents county tax .. 5,000,000
From fines, forfeitures,
etc 1,250,000
Total $22,000,000
This plan would make It necessary
for the State to pay out exactly what
it is now paying for the six monhts
term, Would eliminate the $1,500,000
it is now paying out through the tax
reduction fund to help the extended
term districts. So the actual saving
would be fully $3,500,000 under the
present cost.
"Before the State adopted the State
supported six months term, the school
situation was similar o an old sow
with a litter of pigs in a potato
patch,” a member of the Board of
Equalization said in discussing the
situation. “When the State adopted
State supported of the six months
term, it penned up the mother pig,
but left 1,080 districts still outside the
pen, rooting up the potatoes and us
ing up tax money. But the enactment
of an eight months term law would
pen up ail these 1,080 districts in the
same pen with the six months term,
get them out of the tax potato patch
and make it possible to save a great
deal more money than can be saved
at the present time. For as long as
the State has 1,080 special tax dis
tricts i is going to be more expensive
to collect this money htan if it were
paid along with regular county taxes
in only 100 counties.”

here by those interested in reducing
school costs as well as taxes, the more
it is being favored.

CONVICTION UPHELD
IN DOG HERE
Supreme Court Sustains
Judgements In Lower
Courts In Henderson
Raleigh, Sept. 23.—(AP)—The North
Carolina Supreme Court, In a decision
handed down last Wednesday, upheld
lower court convictions of Miss Eliza
beth Harrell, of Henderson, for allow
ing a vicious or dangerous dog to run
at large and bite .Miss Margaret
Brinkley, also of Henderson. The
court found “no error” »in lower court
rulings.
Tne “dog ease” tnvolved the decision
whether or, not the state, through
prosecuting attorneys and witnesses
first in Henderson’s municipal court
and then In Vance superior court,
proved beyond a reasonable doubt,
that the dog which annoyed Miss
Brinkley was one of some 10, 12 or
15 owned by Miss Harrell.
Convicted In municipal court of al
lowing a vicious or dangerous dog to
run loose, Miss Harrell was fined $5
fend costs. She appealed and when
convicted in superior cobrt, Judge
Henry A. Grady suspended sejgtenot
upon payment of costs. This, too, was
appealed and resulted in Wednesday’s
opinion.
Evidence tended to show that a
white dog with spots had been the
culpit which bothered Miss Brinkley.
The supreme court record brings out
that several people, including Mayor
Irvine B. Watkins, of Henderson tes
tified that the dog belonged to Miss
Harrell, was claimed by her or stayed
at her house along with possibly a
dozen other dogs.
Miss Harrell contended the dog
which bothered the girls was not
"Shag,” one of her favorites, but was
a stray hound she had befriended.
The mayor testified, however, that
Miss Harrell had admitted to him
that she had owned the brown and
white dog six months.
