AT NOME HAS FINE NEW
 FULL LAW LIBRARY

grand and petit juries were hastily drawn for the convening of court in September. The grand jury had met and the Petit Jury was mak- ing its first appearance on the morn ing of Sept 17th when some one smelled smoke and soon the court house and court room was full of smoke. Judge Morrison in his quiet and unassuming way, dismissed court immediately, when it was learned, that the Golden Gate Hotel was afire and the flames spreading to the federal buildings. The judge and his secretary were two of the, last persons to forsake their posts. Like many others he lost practically all his personal belongings in the big fire which swept Nome that memorable day.
 Judge Appointed Administrator
 . Things moved rather fast during his short time in office, and short ly following the fire he was ap- pointed Administrator of Federal Emergency Relief Administration activities in Nome. He has worked hard with others on committees in an effort to do good to the needy of this section. His activities and close scrutiny of matters have en- deared him not only to those intim- ately acquainted with him but also with the public in general. That he has made friends and is making good in his new position as federal judge is very apparent. If one did not know he was a new conner, personally, he would be talk en as regular sourdough, because he does things in a manner like an old time Alaskan.
 The securing of additional funds for the needy this winter, is the dir ect result of his personal attention to this important matter.

RALEIGH, June 10. = More
than 80 instruments are now or
will shortly be writing a continu-
Gus record of the volume of water
flowing from the hills of North
Carolina to the Sea.
During the last nine months,
according to H. D. Panton, chief
engineer of the division of water
resources and engineering of the
department of conservation and
development, Sc reinforced con-
crete gauging stations equipped
with automatic recording instru-
ments have been constructed in
North Carolina.
Of the So new stations, ten
were old stations established at
new locations; four replaced sta
tons previously discontinued; IT
modern structures were erected to
replace the old staff or chain

by observers; and five replaced
older stations of timber construc-

ton in bad condition.
In addition to the SO reinforced
concrete stations erected, II sta
tons constructed of timber were
lined with reinforced concrete; II
cableways were installed for use
in making stream flow measure
ments at various stages, and five
masonry tiers were built as con-
trolls.
Construction work on the sta
tions was done by the U. S. Geo
logical Survey with federal funds
furnished partly by the Tennes-
see Valley Authority, partly by
the Public Works Administration,
and partly by the Civil Works:
Administration. Twenty-three OF
the gauging stations are in the
Tennessee river drainage area in
North Carolina. Four of the new
stations are left temporarily with.
out recording instruments until
funds can be obtained for thelf
purchase. Records of stream flow
are maintained by the Depart
ment of Conservation and Devel-
opment, in cooperation with the
U. S. Geological Survey.
With the completion of the
present program, according to Mr..
Panton, 83 stream gauging sta
tons will be in operation. This
will be the largest number ever
in service at one time in North
Carolina, IT being the previous
high point in operation.

me from the highway fund. AT
the present time, the state is
using 100000 year from the
highway fund for other state pur-
noses. since the 1888 general as
sembly authorized the diversion
of this amount from the highway
fund to the general fund when
ever the balance in the highway
fund should exceed the amount
needed for the highway appro-
priations. ~. -,
3 The enactment of this bill may
forestali and prevent what was
expected to be one Of the major
battles in the 1885 general az
sembly-the fight over whether
or not to continue to divert por,,
ton of the highway revenue, ana
the disposition of the surplus IN
the highway fund, which is ex-
pected to amount to at least ST.
100000 by the time the general
assembly meets here next Janu-
ary. But if the members of the
general assembly know that the
state will not be able to get an
other penny of federal aid funds
for highway construction if it d.
verts any of it's highway revenue
to other than highway uses, and
that it cannot get any of this ST.
SOO O0O wear that otherwise
will be available, it is expected
that they will proceed very slow
" in diverting any of this high
way money.
There will be some, however,
who will advocate diverting high
way revenue anyway and let the
state lose it's chances to get any
more federal aid, it is indicated
The anti-sales tax forces are al
ready advocating the use of part
of the revenue from the sales tax
on gasoline for general state pur-
poses, so the sales tax on other
retail sales can be removed. Some
of the school forces are advocat-
ing the use of a still greater por-
ton of the highway revenue for
school purposes. Some others
want a portion of the highway
revenue sent back to the counties
TO be used in retiring county
debts. 1t is expected, however,
that the 100000 automobile and
truck owners who pay all this
revenue are going to insist that
it either be used entirely for high
way purposes, or that the license
and gasoline taxes be reduced to
meet the highway budget and
nothing more.

Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH, June 19.-Further
diversion of North Carolina high
way funds, derived from the state
tax on gasoline and the sale of
automobile and truck license
plates, must stop after this year
or the state will not receive any
more federal aid, if President
Roosevelt signs the bill now on
his desk appropriating S450,000,-
900 for federal aid highway con-
Struction in the states for the
next three years. For this bill,
already passed by the house and
senate and agreed to in confer
ence and now awaiting the presi-
dents signature, contains clause
that will prevent any state that
diverts any of it's gasoline tax
and motor vehicle tax revenue 20
other than highway purposes from
receiving any federal aid for
roads after June 30, 1885, Chair
man E. B. Jeffress of the state
highway and public works COM
mission pointed out today.
The clause in this bill, which
sets for this provision, follows:
"Since it is unfair and unjust
to tax motor vehicle transporta-
ton unless the proceeds of such
taxation are applied to the con-
struction, Improvement or main
tenance of highways, after June
80, 1885, federal aid for highway
construction shall be extended
only to those states that use at
least the amounts now provided
by law for such purpose in each
state from motor vehicle regis
tration fees, licenses, gasoline
taxes and other special taxes on
motor vehicle owners and opera
tors of all kinds of construction,
improvement and maintenance Of
highways and administrative ex-
pense."
This bill also specifies that aft
err June 80, 1885, no federal aid
will be extended to any state that
does not match the federal aid by
an equivalent amount from state
funds. For fiscal year 1934-35,
beginning July l, it will make
available S2OO,GGO,O0O for high
way construction that does not
have to be matched, with $685.
100000 for the fiscal years of
1885 and 1867 that will
have to be matched with state
funds.
Under this bill, North Carolina
will get approximately $4,500,-
900 to be used for the year be-
ginning July 1, 1884, on new
highway construction in the state
without having to match it from
state funds. 1t will also get APP
proximately $2,S00,000 year
for the next two years, provided
the state matches this amount
from state funds and provided it
does not divert any of the reve-

The fourth point. he said. is one
affecting the LegiOn's child welfare

The widows and orphans of war
veterans are in need OF our assist
ance." he said. Those children who
are orphans by reason of the
fathers service. are missing some
thing which probably would give
them more pleasure than anything
else in the wOrld-the fathers love
and protection that is denied them.
We are going TO insist that il is the
Federal government duty to sup
ply that protection for the widows

fought for their country in its great
est emergency and have now passed

National Commander Hayes said
the LegiOn's program of restoring
benefits of the service conneC1ed
disabled veterans is the first major
objective of the organization at this
session OF Congress. National de-
Tense and the passage of the uni

other two major efforts.

welfare work is second only to that
of rehabilitation. "0ne dovetails in

best medicine i'm the world for a

wife and children are not suffering
from want and hunger, or that the
family is not scattered or subjected
to charity.
