In New York's Sixth Avenue area job seekers crowd agency boards as 20 percent more help-wanted signs appear, especially for home servants.

Real Estate Board Questions New Tax Rate Shakeup
Greensboro Real Estate board members questioned the new tax rate. R D Douglas noted the rate rose from 66.66 cents in 1932 to 64 cents this year with shifted school and non school allocations. Officials explained reduced property valuations and refinanced obligations drove the change. A $3 000 tract would owe 14.40 under the new rate versus 20.00 previously.
