The Couries is ver^ grateful to
t hose of our subscribers who have
paid their subscription since last
week.
The Courier will not be pub¬
lished next week. Our next issue
will be Jan. 8, 1926.
The Courier wishes each of you
a most happy and prosperous 1926
White county’s future prospects
are indeed bright lor a great flock
of tourists during the next season,
and certainly a large number will
want to buy real estate here.
We do not entertain or hope to
see a Florida boom in this section,
vet we see a remarkable demand
for buying of real estate in White
county, especially tract desirable
and suitable for tourists.
The Town of Cleveland needs a
hotel. This is so urgent that it is
essential for Cleveland to keep
pace with other town in this sec¬
tion. We must have one by next
summer. How are we to get it?
We can get a hotel if we really
want one. You may ask how/
There are many ways, but the
biggest thing is to cooperate
the people who are working with
interests to locate a hotel here.
Don’t try to knock any move being
made, but boost it for all you are
worth. That is your duty to your
town.
Several local people are work¬
ing to interest capitalists to build
a hotel here.
Cleveland is situated on the Ap¬
palachian Scenic highway, which
has only recently been designated
by the U. S. Good Roads associa¬
tion,. working in conjunction with
the Bureau of Public Roads, as a
Federal Inter-state highway. This
means much to Cleveland and
White county.
First, if the wishes of President
Coolidge are made effective by
Congress the federal aid money
will be distributed only on Federal
highways. It will mean a better
and more travelable road, and that
will mean more money pouring in¬
to White county daily. Then,
does it mean anything to you to
lend your support and cooperation
to the people who are laboring for
these things?
The Courier is optimistic over
the future of White county, and it
is our pleasure to have a part in
development.
We wish you all a most prosper¬
ous and happy 19II6.

beg leave to submit the following
report:
We have examined the
records of the county officers 0 f

gent in keeping their records up

mine that said county officers have

%'he ordinary lias exhibited to
this committee this day his bank
balance and the same shows fhat
he has this amount in the bankas
of of October October 1, 1, 1925, 1925, the the date date to to
which which is i. covered covered b/.hi. by this statement. .uue,„e„i.;
We have looked into the tax levy
*nd find that it h is been raised
.40/ nn the one hundred dolltu^
above last year. In looking for
the reason for tins increase we find
th at tt . required . O00.00 to retire
the county road bonds and under
the previous levy there was raised
only $2779.00 and the Ordinary
had to look to some other fund for
this difference which was $1321 00
and in order to raise the amount
that Itad to be paid by the county
on these bonds the levy for the re¬
quirement of county road bonds
wus raised to .35/ on the one hun
dred dollars. We also note that
there is a raise of 10 cents on the
one hundred dollars for road tax,
the former levy for this purpose
being .05J/ on the one hundred
dollars. This was explained to the
committee showing that, formerly
there had been a fund from the
sale of county road bonds placed in
the road funds of the county and
this fund was exhausted before the
present Ordinary took charge of
the affairs of the county and this is
his explanation of this particular
tax.
We also notice that the County
Board of Education raised
levy for county wide school tax
from .35^ on the one hundred dol
lars to ,50c on the hundred dollars.
Making the total levy for
and county tax including county
wide schoo > tRX » a -°° on llle one
Hundred dollars worth of property.
The raise being .25T on the one
hundred dollars by the Ordinary
and .15c on the one hundred dol¬
lars by the County Board of Edu¬
cation for county wide school tax.
