City Council study privilege taxes drafted for next year
Grover H. Jones completed a sixty page draft for a special license tax ordinance to apply as of June 1. Rates will take effect 20 days after enactment with delinquent penalties after the grace period. The state revenue act does not bar cities from levying such taxes under pre 1931 powers. Revisions to align rates with prior years are likely.

High Point Tax Levy Shrinks as Citizens Pay Promptly
High Point property owners have paid more of the 1930 levy than ever, reducing the delinquent list to fewer than 800 names from the usual 1500 to 2000. By Friday, 82 percent of the levy was collected, leaving about $106,105.23 unpaid. Taxpayers racing to beat the final advertising will push the city treasury as collector Robert Brockett processes late payments. About $15,000 of the total is on personal property and won’t be advertised. To avoid exposure, taxes must be received by the collector, not mailed, by the deadline.
