Local Authorities Believe
County's Claims Will
Be Substantiated

(The following news story re-
lating to the proposed refunds to
the various counties lending aid
to the construction of the state
highway system will be Of inter
est to the people of Henderson
county, since this county has fill
ed claims aggregating approXi-
mately six hundred thousand dol
lars. Local authorities believe this
county is in good position to sub
stantiate its claims. since all aid
in construction Of highways and
in cash donations has taken place
since the state system was eStab-
lishcd. The county has spent
hundreds of thousands of dollars
to support bonds and interest as
against the declared purpose in
the act that the system should be
constructed without ad valorem
taxes. The commission appointed
by the governor to go into the de-
tails Of the various claims and re-
port before the converting of the
coming legislature has not as yet
filed its report but it is generally
understood and agreed that the
final status of these claims will
rest with the 1897 session of the
urc.--Editor'S Note.)

Chamber Of Commerce)

mcntS made by the county Off
Gals to the fact finding commits
sion appointed to determine the
amount of money the state is due
certain counties for roads con-
structed and cash donated to the
state highway system. people all
over the state became road con-
scious and seemingly were willing
to do anything to further the
road building program in North
Carolina. The early movement Of
the counties was instrumental in
causing the 1927 Legislature to
pass an act which automatically
took into the state highway sys-
tenn about $500 miles of high
ways in the state. The Legislature
also expressed itself in this same
act to the effect that no levy for
advalorem tax would be used to
pay for the building of the state
highway system.

County Road Refund Claims Will
Rest Finally With Next Legislature:
Commission Report Not Yet Filed

en- at these hearings recently
closed i'm Raleigh, county officials
in many counties volunteered to
assist the state in financing this
road building program to the cx-
tent that many Of them donated
actual cash while others turned
over the state highways already
constructed. 1t also developed at
these hearings that in many in
stances tho county officials and
other enthusiastic road builders
were led to believe that this mon
ey spent on the state highway Svs-
tenn would BIZ paid back to the
counties at some future date. 1t
was also brought out at these
hearings that Immediately follow
ing the legislative act which au-
thorizes a S50.000,000 bond issue
by the state that the state bonds
being offered for sale were not
as readily absorbed as the state
officials had anticipated. The
bond market was dragging so far
as North Carolina bonds were
concerned but county bonds were
a. a premium in practically every
county in the state. In many in
stances the testimony before the
commission disclosed that the
county sold bonds and turned the
cash over to the state highway
commission so that the road build
ing program would not be ham,
pcrci by reason of the fact that
state bonds would not sell readily.
There were, however, something
like Sc counties in the state that
would not give outright to the
state highway commission the
funds which were so bodily need
ed but on the contrary entered in
to contract with the highway
commission which bound the state
to an obligation TO be paid back.
This amount totalcd Il little over
$lS,000,000. The records Of the
highway commission show that of
this 100000 all has been paid
back TO the counties with the OK
ception of about 81 100000 while
there are "A counties that are still
out a little over $S,500,O00 which
the state highway commission Sc
cured at the same time but on a
donation agreement instead of Il
contract to pay back. There are
however several counties not list
cd among these Al counties which
in the opinion of the writer cstab-
liShed their claims to refunds be-
fore the fact finding commission.
Now. after period of Is years
when the state highway system is
in splendid condition with large
annual revenue coming in from
gas tax and license tax these
counties are making requests OF
this fact finding commission that
refunds be made to relieve the To-
cal property owners from having
TO pay advalorcm tax to pay for
the state highway system OF a
large part of it which the lcgls-
lature never intended should be
done. No representatives Of the
refunds seeking counties have
any idea at all of this money be-
ing paid at one time but they do
believe that over period of years
the valid claims which from indi-
cations should amount to about
$25, 100000 from the total

highway system in any way.
The report Of the fact finding
commission headed by Senator
Carl L. Bailey Of Plymouth will
be awaited with n great deal Of
interest by the claimant counties
from all over the state. 1t is the
candid belief of those who have
watched the proceedings through
all of the hearings that this road
bond adjustment commission will
recommend satisfactory awards
to the counties which have eStab-
lished valid claims. The Eastern
Carolina Chamber Of Commerce
with headquarters in Kinston,
which is the sponsor of this CO.

opinion satisfactory adjustments
will be made by the 1887 general
assembly, according to state
ment made by Judge Guy Elliott,
chairman Of the legislative COM
mittec, and n. G. Bartlett, secre-
tary Of this organization.

cast that the Landon ticket would

Of Missouri, Democratic Convention
psrliamentarian for the past Is years,
expressed the belief the convention at
Philadelphia would name Mr. Roose-

Cannon said he had confidence the

2. Motion to suspend the rules to-

3. Call of roll by States for Vice

acclamation.
Democratic leaders here today were

sources indicated tentative planks
