(By Max Abernethy.)


Raleigh, April 6.-Establishment
Of free employment bureaus in all of
the larger cities of the State is being
urged upon mayors and city and
county authorities by Commissioner
of Labor and Printing NJ. L. Ship
man, who is also director of Federal
employment service in North Caro-
lima
Following recent trip to Wash
ington where Commissioner Ship
man conferred with the Federal en-
ployment director he was assured
that the present arrangement of main
tanning supervising Office in Raleigh
would be continued. This Office is be-
ing managed by Commissioner Ship
man at dollar per year. Communi-
ties wishing to obtain an employ
ment bureau may do so upon the
following cooperative basis as laid
down by the commissioner:
Equipment, Office quarters and
the franking privilege to be furnish
ed by the government; salary of the
local superintendent, not in excess of
$125 per month, to be borne by the
State; stenographer and telephone
costs to be supplied by the local
authorities, city and county"
Reports of the weekly meeting of
the council of State with the COVER
nor made it certain that the State
treasurer would journey to New
York within the next several days to
feel the financial pulse of that great
city.
This decision to send the treasurer
after money is to begin work on the
$500 miles of hard surfaced high
ways the State is expecting and to
build dormitories, mess halls and
class room buildings at the various
educational institutions which are
charges of Tarheelia. The charitable
schools must also be looked after.
Whether money is to be obtained
on short term notes or whether
bonds are to be sold, or whether the
tirely upon the money market. Gov
ernor Morrison has insisted that five
per cent money should be found and
unless the treasurer is able to find it
there is every reason to believe that
the council of State will mark time
until the market opens up somewhat.
Governor Morrison may make al
trip to New York himself, it is learn
ed, for the purpose of learning
whether the money can be obtained.
The governors investigation trip
will be in the nature of semi-offcial
business but as head of the State
government he will become acquaint- |
ed with the financial situation.
Wake county farmers stormed the
county commissioners here yesterday
asking for a horizontal reduction of |
fifty per cent in assessed land valua- :
tion but action was deferred. j. w.
Bailey made the principle speech for |,
the farmers, pointing the discrimina-
tions which he said existed all over
the State by reason of Revaluation ,
and deflated land values. The COM /
missioner will likely authorize re-
duction but they wish to give more
consideration to it before taking final
action.
Board of directors of the State ,
school for the Blind met with Gov
ernor Morrison for the first time un-'
der the Morrison administration yes
terday. The usual work of State
institution, that of having to find
way of doing something that costs
money for less money than it will
cost and with none on hand. The
governor is insisting that every mem
Der of the board shall interest him
self in the institution and he hopes
to see the new building completed.
a Governor Morrison has accepted an
invitation to address the North Caro-
lima Medical Society which meets
at Pinehur rst on Monday April Is.
