Real Estate Men Rally Over Guilford Levy Bill
High Point real estate men prepared for a second push at the Burrus bill setting a 12 cent cap for welfare levies to fund the unemployed in Guilford. They argued the measure could save city taxes, with City Manager J M Knox saying a 20 000 to 26 000 saving is possible and that current welfare rules force extra funding from 20 000 to 25 000 next year. County Attorney Lee B Fentress noted the cap may not be fully utilized given Guilford's 150 million valuation. City officials opposed the levy, citing concerns over extravagance and county expenditures. The public hearing followed a Raleigh senate committee session.
