Comptroller-General A. J. Beattie
estimates that a saving of $i(H!K),000 a
year can be effected by abolition of
the Tax Commission and transferring
ithe jecessary work now being per
formed by the Tax Commission to the
office of the Comptroller General,
which it is understood, will be one of
the principal recommendation* to be
made by Governor John G. Richards
irt his inauguial address to the 19?7
General Assembly on the eighteenth
of January.
The Comptroller General, who is
thoroughly familiar with the work
done by the tax commission and with
functions which it performs, says, it is
understood, that by consolidation
of the two departments into one a
savirg of approximately $100,000 may
be safely calculated upon.
The tax commission is this year
costir g the taxpayer* of the State a
total of $220,946.40, directly appro
priated—to which sum the appropria
tion has grown in eight years from
$12,500 in 1918, when the tax com-
urission first begar to function. Ac
cording to the Com pt to I let* General’s
estimate, practically one half of the
cost of performing the duties of the
tax c:mmission can be saved, and the
same degree of efficiency be main
tained. The comptroller general’s of
fice is now operated at a cost of only
$17,649.50 a year and its efficiency la
generally rJcogaized. %
Ore considerable item which, it is
pointed out. would figure in the saving
which would result from abolition of
the tax commiasion and maintaining
ore instead of two separate and dis
tinct tax departments under the direct
charge and supervision of the comp
troller general, who is the State’s tax
officer as constitutionally provided, ia

•iorera. amounting to $12,500. Then

had been transformed for the nonce
into a veritable fairyland of beauty,

ion of these two hearts and lives.
Immediately after the ceremony, a
brilliant reception was held at- the
home of the bride’s parents. Receiv

near Yenome Station, was serioudy
cut early Monday right on the. Barn-

this city. He charges Harry Croft
and G. E. Ray with the attack, which
he states was made while the trio
were riding in Jones’ car. Sheriff.
Dyches placed Croft and Ray under
arrest Tuesday, the charge against
them being assault ard battery with
intent to kill. They were released the
same day under bonds of $500 each,
the attending physician stating that
Jores* wounds are not necessarily
fatal. < t\
Jones claims that after he was at
tacked he fell from hi* car uncon
scious and lay by the roadside for
sjveral hours before he regained con
sciousness and summoned help. He
was brought to Barr.well about two
o'clock Tuesday morning and his
wounds were dressed by a local phy
sician. He suffered two long deep
gashes arreas his throat, besides what
appeared to be several stab wourds
about the head. It ia said. The alleged
attack is said to have occurred about
eight o’clock Monday night and the
attending physician says it is a mira
cle that th<> wounded man did not
bleed to death. It is believed that the
cold weather congeal; d the blood
arourd the wounds and stopped its
flow. Ahcut 2o stitches were neces
sary to close the wounds on Jones’
neck.
Stories a* to the cause of the al
leged attack are conflicting.
