Gulliver style critics lampoon NRA flapper device
A satirical column mocks public figures and New Deal policy by imagining Laputan flappers used to remind absent minded projectors to speak. It cites the National Recovery Administration, taxation debates on sales tax and food costs, and criticizes policy shifts affecting cotton and wheat pricing. It also veers to a wildlife exhibit at Fairmont State College focusing on snakes to dispel fear and ignorance about reptiles.

Mass debate on county road fund and city debt
Mr. Ford highlighted a $12,000 balance in the road fund and questioned a $70,000 estimate for bonded debt and sinking fund, suggesting improved conditions could reduce levies. He noted a 23 cent city levy for Grafton’s maturing debt around $19,000 and a state tax demand for about $21,000 for other city obligations, claiming city commissioners resist such action despite anticipated delinquencies. He then turned to the board of education.

A Baltimore Sun excerpt laments the refined calculations in a program labeled by some as a bureaucratic mind. The piece notes admiration for the process and expresses hope to learn more about the program in the near future.
