COUNTY BACKING
DRAINAGE PLANS
Carolina Beach Group Pre-
sent Project Outline To
Commissioners

A decision to render all aid with
in legal limits, to areas in the
county in need of drainage was
voted at a meeting of the New
Hanover county board of conmis.
sioners yesterday following an ex.
PLANTATION of the drainage situation
at Carolina Beach by Glenn Tuck
er, realtor and head of a com
mittee to solicit funds to combat
the drainage problem in that re
sort town.
Tucker explained to the board
that over $1,000 of the $40, 900 goal
set at a meeting of a committee
last week had been raised but
pointed out that this effort would
need support from county officials.
This amount has been slated to be
used for the excavation of a drain
age ditch to run from First street
on the beach to Heneke ditch
which flows into the Cape Fea-
river.
fuckers request centered about
whether or not the county would
maintain the depth Of the Heneke
ditch after the new drainage ex-
cavation has been made. He point
ed out that even though mainten-
ance. of the Heneke cut was being
furnished by the county, it would
have to be deepened to provide TO,
the additional flow of water passed
through the new ditch planned by
the committee.
The prospect that an effort will
be made at the coming session oil
the state legislature to draft a law
allowing the expenditure of funds
from Alcoholic Beverage Control
revenues for drainage purposes in
the county doomed during the board
meeting. Commissioner James M.
Hall reminded the board that rep
resentative-elect r. M. Kermon
had gone on record as favorine
such a law and urged that he be
supported toward this end.
Included among other business
transacted by the commissioners
during the session was the read
ing of a letter from State High
way Division Engineer T. T. Belts
informing the board that one half
OF the funds allocated for road
maintenance in the county had al
ready been expended.
The promise that a request for
an asphalt roadway from the home
OF Henry Hough to the Castle
Hayne road, made by citizens of
the Kerr road, would be forward
ed was made to representatives.
The granting of a request by Vic
Stefano, co-owner of the Whining
ton baseball club, that the Legion
Stadium be used for a 70-game
slate during the coming season was
also included among other action
taken by the commissioners.

All that a majority of the Senate
has done is to deny Bilbo a seal

whether it agrees with Messrs

directly from the Constitution Gar
ticle I. Section s., Paragraph ~.
There is no doubt that this im;oor-
tant article in the Constitution is
an interference" with the SOW
ereign rights of the State of Mis-
sissippi and Of every other state
in the Union. The Senate is the
final judge, and not the state
which elected him, whether a man
is properly elected and duly quail
fled to be a Senator of the United
States.
That, whether Mr.. Ellender ap-
proves it or not, is one of the basic
principles of the American govern
ment. A state does not have an
absolute sovereign right to send
any one it pleases to the Senate.
The sovereign rights of the state
are limited in this respect by the
Constitution of the United States.
Mr.. Bilbo, if he were seated, would
not be a Senator. Of Mississippi
but a Senator of the United States;
he would not be an officer of the
state but an officer of the Union.
