RALEIGH

Sir Walter Hotel.
BY HENRY AVERILL

BY AVERlLL
RALEIGH, Dec. mo feature
of the 1941-43 budget was more
sympathetically scanned by tn
advisory budget commission than
the items making up a permanent
improvement program which
would call for expenditure of $10,-
568, 784.
There isn't any indication of the
commissions recommendations
and there will not be any until the
budget is made public by Governor
]. Melville Broughton soon after
the general assembly convenes; al
though it is a certainty that the
recommended projects will not en-
tail any such sum of money as
that requested.
But as a few examples of the
great appeal of the improvement
sought, one prominent member of
the commission called your report
er's attention to the following
items:
W 1AA oooO41l0Ay AAo4I VI oAAA-
forum for State college. At pres
ent there isn't such a hall large
enough to accommodate the fresh
man class by itself, let alone the
entire student body.
(2) At the University of North
Carolina in Chapel Hill, priceless
books, including the famous Hanes
collection, are in danger Of even
tual destruction because there is
no adequate space to store them.
(3) At the College for Women in
Greensboro it is necessary for the
girls to hold many of their meet
ings in movie ',ouses or other SIM
liar places because there is no
adequate place CT the campus.
~ At the Morganton State hos
pital there are wooden floors half
a century old, so sodden with ref
use that 40-year-old odors arise
from them.
Those are just items taken at
random almost from four different
institutions. All others of the state
present instances where the needs
are almost as imperative.
Yet nobody seems to know how
to get the ten million which would
