asked for approval of the same

two years. Some savings have been
effected but il is expected that nee

The same amount. one million dol

, is not expected that all of this can

The commission asked the budget
folk TO change the method Of con-
tributions to the State hospitals. In
stead of flat rate contributions for

Raleigh. Oct. 9.-AlthouGh there
was Il surplus of Sl8,190,586 in the
North Carolina highway fund at the
close of the last fISca! year on June
30, presentation of commission re-
quests at the budget hearing yeSter-
day indicated a deficit of Sl.009. 800
at the end of the next bicnnilm.
Like the recently publicilcd prison

reason that certain appropriated
funds cannot DC spent in road bet

The highway fund is derived from
operation of motor vehicles and tn,
has been more draStically affected
bv the war than any other phase of
North Carolina life. Total receipts
from gasoline gailonagc tax. license
tags and title registrations for the
past year amounted to S3g.372. 85y.
For the fiscal year of lg44-45 The
estimated receipts will be S13.12O,-

Meantime such fixed charges as
bond and interest payments, co..-
tributiOn to retirement fund and
other fixed expenses go on just the
same.
Besides road construction and
maintenance the highway fund sup
ports the motor vehicles bureau. the
highway patrol. the safety program
and the parole and probation COM
missions in their dealings with state
prisoners. These items are more or
less fixed in required amounts: in
fact. il was indicated that they might
call for more money during the next
bitnnium than in the past.

Price Ceiling Method For

Photographic information concern ing the expected amendment for the General Maximum Price Regulation applicable to Alaska only. has been received in Juneau by Mildred R. Hermann. Alaska Director of the Office of Price Administration. and forwarded 10 Wrangeu.
 The amendment establishes all entirely new method oI computing maximum prices in Alaska, and has been tailored 10 fit the varying unique conditions under which merchandising is carried on in AL aska.
 Briefly il establishes the follow ing method for computing maxi mum prices for all goods shipped into Alaska to sell. excluding a limited number of items on the eX- eepted list. and a few which are subject to special regulations. To the wholesale cost Of the merclan- disc. minus the regular discount the retailer adds the cost of trans portation including war risk iusur- ance. This gives him the direct cost of his merchandise.
