Paleigh, March 2.-The problem in
all the up country is to prevent lands
washing away. Wrightsville Beach
has a broken to know what to do
about new lands made by the chang
ing shore line of the Atlantic Ocean,
Under the terms Of bill offered
by Senator Emmett Bellamy of New
Hanover all neW-made lands in the
town of Wrightsville Beach shall for
ever be dedicated to the use of the
public No buildings will be permit
ted on it, and its uses will be re-
stricted, although in many instances
actual title will vest in the owners
of waterfront lots whose footage is
increased by the action of the tides
in shifting sand.
The town of Wrightsville Beach
has underway large program, in
cooperation with the Federal gov
eminent on loan and grant basis, for
pumping sand from certain areas to
others, and thus maintaining a SEM
blance of permanence in property
lines. This pumping operation, as
well as the natural act;.sn of tidal
waves, is continually making new
lands, and the question has arisen
and promises to be more and more
perplexing, as to ownership of this
land.
The Bellamy proposal, which has
the endorsement of the governing
board of the town Of Wrightsville
Beach and of the conservation forces
in the State, fixes title to some of
the land in the town and provides
that the town limits may move as
new land is made. Within other spe-

The State Department of Conservs9
ton and Development, as well ay
State officials, will almost certainI,,
oppose it upon the grounds that surI
a program would necessarily tranc-
for to the Federal government iur,S-
diction over the streams throuehont
the area. The State Of North caro-
lima has consistently maintained that
it has and means to retain control
OF its own waters.
Mr.. McBryde and his associates
profess less interest in the question
of which government shall exercise
authority over streams, than in the
more pressing problem of lower costs
for electric current to citizens Of
North Carolina. They believe that
their proposition will afford relief
in this respect.

When Senator Jewell, of Rich
mond county, sought to repeal a
local act providing for election OF
county commissioners from districts
instead of from the county at large,
he failed to put in his repeater any
provision for electing them other
wise. He caught it just in time. 9th
erWise Richmond county might have
found that it had perpetual board
of commissioners. Such officials are
sworn in to serve until their sue
successors are elected and Qualifl-
ed" If there wasn't any way to elect
successors, the current officers would
just stay on the job indefinitely.
Members of this legislature have
really worked harder and have en-
gagged in less ''socializing' than usual.
But Tuesday night the official and
social obligations of half dozen
senator's uIu conflict, with the eX-
pected result. A public hearing be-
fore a committe was postponed to
another date.
Public hearing had been announced
on two or three local Hamlet bills
affecting the railroad. Senator Jewell
as chairman of the railroad COM
mittee, fixed 7:3O as meeting time.
A Hamlet delegation was on hand.
Then announcement was made that
due to the fact that several of the
committee members were out at din
ner with local politico who cherish
es ambitions to reside in the States
Blount Street house, the hearing was
omved up to $50. With hundred
miles between them and their beds,
