,N. C. TREASURER TELLS WHY ' MORE TAXES ARE PAID

Raleigh, April 27.— Reports of im­proved county and municipal tax collections were attributed by State Theasurer Charles M. Johnson today to three fac to rs :

' First, more effort is being made by tax collecting authorities.

Second, tax payers are becoming I more conscious of their obligations.

Third, there has been a “ normal increase in taxpayers’ ability to pay,

1 “augmented by the stabilizing effect I of refinancing and readjusting the indebtedness of those units which had defaulted in the payment of

J their obligations.”! Johnson said newspaper reports in various sections of the state indi-

Icated improved tax collections.

Miss Louise Frazier, head of the f English department and senior class | | sponsor, directed the play. Leading! | roles were taken by Mai'ilyn Bird, j |

and John Lewis. Other members of j | the class took part.
