Tax dispute and bond debates threaten county court house funds
In Watauga County the Legislature allowed a 10 cent levy and 30 cent poll tax to fund a courthouse, but officials refused to allocate funds for bridges. Grand juries condemned the current courthouse repeatedly. The deadline passed with no tax levy, risking indictment of the Board of County Commissioners. Earnest Haywood, tied to a Raleigh murder case, is released on bond for July court, prompting calls on justice for the poor versus the rich. Appalachian Training School fund asks for $1,500 more to unlock $3,500 needed to begin construction, with Treasurer W. C. Coffey handling subscriptions. A minister’s sermon contemplates a looming world crisis and potential revolution on a biblical timeline.
