Lane Maps Program
AS New Governor

William Preston Lane, Jr.. has
sketched the program he intends to
follow upon taking office at Anna
polls January 8.
In his first days after the inaugu-
ration there will be sent to the Cen
eral Assembly bills-prepared in ad-
vance-to carry out each pledge involv-
ing legislation made in his platform
including amendments to the Consti-
tuition to limit the tenure of the Gov
ernor and to remedy the inequalities
in the legislative representation.
The budget is to carry the appro-
priations, and in it legal brake on
the free and easy power to shuttle
appropriated funds now enjoyed by
the Board of Public Works. He de-
clared he wanted to find out why ad-
ministrative costs in the State Roads
Commission eat up so much Of the
enormous revenues from the gasoline
tax that virtually nothing is left for
new construction after the required
amounts have been allotted for main
tenancc of existing roads. He said he
intended to be inquisitive too, about
wide variations in the cost per mile
of maintaining roads in different
parts Of the state.
He was silent on appointments. The
big problems were listed by Mr.. Lane
as roads, schools and hospitals.

sons who come to The Republican Of
flee to purchase "No Hunting" signs,

of hunters since pre-war days.

any person trespassing on any proper
ties which are posted against trespas-
sers in a CONSPICUOUS manner. Wardens
may make the arrests but the land
owner must be the one to prosecute.

for hunting of small game and six
days in which to shoot buck deer. The

Der Is through November 30, resuming
