Coleman W. Roberts, president of the club, said that the question would be brought before the city council soon and that the club's board of directors also would seek abolishment of the local license fees on cars in every city and town in the Carolinas. The directors of the large motorists' organization, he said, recommended that the municipalities discontinue the present system of collecting $1 for every motor vehicles registered by parties living within the city limits. "This plan is recommended," he said, "because the federal government now finds it necessary to collect more taxes from the motor vehicle! owner than ever before.

Today, the total tax bill of the automobile owner is all pin of proportion to the taxes paid by any other group." He pointed our that, in addition to the city collecting this tax at the present time, which amounts to approximately annually the city and county each coiled a personal property tax on every motor vehicle. "For instance," Roberts said, "a motor vehicle listed for taxes at 81,000 owned by a person residing in the city limits of High Point must pay to the city of Higli Point as personal property tax and as a. county property tax, in addition to the present city tag cost. These figures are Seventeen-Year-Old Girl Commits Suicide Apparently the victim of unrequited love, Mrs. Virginia Price Stanley, seventeen-year-old High Point giri, died last night as a result of a self-inflicted rifle bullet wound.

Mrs. Stanley, who shot herself in the left chest yesterday afternoon, died apparently as a direct result of an internal hemorrhage caused by the bullet, which passed entirely through her body, and was found on the bed be- ijeath her.

It had been rumored also in political circles that at the meeting Mrs. Sterne, when asked by a welfare worker for some indication as to how large a contribution would be expected from individuals, had responded by displaying a check for S500 purportedly given by an appointive official of the county, but Mrs.

Sterne flatly denied this report. "I didn't know he gave $500 until this minute," Mrs. Sterne said. 'Nobody asked any such question at the meeting." Mr.s. Sterne said that the staff meeting was confined to members of the Greensboro division of the welfare office and that as far as she knew, members of the High Point division "don't even know we held such a meeting."
