Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1953-03-25
legislative Doings

At the end Of ten and one-half
weeks the 1858 General Assembly
still has much left to be done.
Afternoon or night sessions are
not far off, for despite lengthy
sessions, more bills are reaching
the House calendar than can be
considered on the floor.
After deciding to conduct open
sessions in their consideration Of
the biennial appropriations bills,
the joint subcommittee met this
week to approve some minor re-
quests and disapprove others, with
a promise to begin work next
week on the major budget items,
including requests for the Uni
versity of North Carolina, the pub
lie schools and mental hospitals.
Although there has been no con-
crete pronouncement of the fiscal
policy of the State for the next
biennium, scattered rumors in
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1953-03-25

dictate that some agreement may
be in the offing. Final approval
is expected this week for SB 334.
making an emergency appropria-
ton of S34-,155 for Memorial
Hospital at UNC, in line with Gov
ernor Umstead's request on Mon
day.
Local Government
One day after North Carolina
cities had proposed a method for
better enforcement of municipal
parking regulations to the Gener-
al Assembly, HB 884 was intro
duced to abolish parking meters.
Persons owning cars found parked
in violation of any traffice regula-
ton would be deemed prima facie
guilty of the violation if HB $50
were passed, but they would have
the opportunity to prove their in
nocence. Legislative sentiment
against parking meters as regu-

by any party to the proceeding.
Eduoa4Asa
A report is expected next week
from the House Education sub
committee studying the school
consolidation problem. While the
members sought to reconcile ad-
ministrative responsibility and the
human element in the commune
ties where schools are CONSOLIDATE
ed, still another proposal Ito re-
duce to so the average daily at
tendance level below which a
school could be consolidated) was
introduced in the House. HB 914
would forbid college teachers, stu
dents, or employees from possess
ing, selling or giving away intoxi-
eating beverages on college camp
uses.
Miscellaneous
1t all started as an attempt to
tighten the states narcotic laws.
SD SO added new offenses and
stiffened penalties for the old ones,
and the Senate Health Committee
made the penalties even tougher.
Senate Judiciary 2, which next
received the bill, also favored a
tough law but did want more safe
guards for the addict. In attempt
ing to achieve this purpose, the
committee inadvertently removed
penalties for all offenses except
sale or possession for sale. Now
the bill has gone to Judiciary
for a fresh look at the penalty
provisions.
Senate LAWYERS have also taken
the vexing problem of extra sup
erior court judges back into COM
mittee. Obvious House demand for
more judges without more solicit
ors persuaded senators to recon-
sided SD 283 providing for eight
new districts. solicitors, and
judges) together with HB 1853
providing for six new judges
only. Compromise was indicated
by a substitute bill submitted to
the committee which would elem
mate the solicitors from SB 283.
Final committee action was post
poned to next Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the tobacco ware
houses won victory when
House committee killed lib 1875,
which would have reduced ware
house commissions from 212T
to pc.

latory device suggests that traffic
congestion in cities may get worse
before il gets better. A compro-
mise proposal for helping small
towns spend street funds more ef-
fectively was introduced on Fri
day. Towns under 5000 could re-
quest the SH&PWC to construct
and maintain their streets out of
Powell Bill ALLEGATIONS, but once
town elected to contract with the
highway department, it could
withdraw only by special act Of
the General Assembly.
Meanwhile, the House became
entangled in parliamentary proce-
dure in its conation of lib $50,
substitute bill for delegating
power to county commissioners to
fix salaries for all county employ
ees (provided that no increase or
reduction exceeded 2O8s in any one
year,. After members finally de-
termined that the bill should apply
to about 40 counties, the House
sent the bill back to committee
for a laStminute check on amend
mentS. Efforts by realtors in be-
half of SD 298, which would re-
quire referendum before any
public housing project could be
constructed, met vigorous oppoSi-
ton from groups favoring public
housing as a means of improving
SubStandard housing. Committee
action on the bill was postponed.
Substantial amendment to the
urban redevelopment law is pro-
posed by HB $50. The principal
change recommended would per-
nit cities to condemn land for
redevelopment purposes if as
much as two-thirdS Of the area
concerned is blighted.
Highways and Highway Safety
While the Highway Commission
is not sponsoring any legislation
this session, Commissioner Jordan
has led the expected attack on HB
588, which would raise truck
Wright limits by almost a ton per
axle. A public hearing on the pro-
posal found the Commission
frankly and flatly opposed to all
efforts made by truckers present
to obtain a favorable report for
the bill.
Election Laws and Senatorial Dis
tricts
Proponents of Senate rediStrict-
ing and House reapportionment
argued without opposition in
public hearing before a House
committee on Wednesday. Despite
the constitutional mandate and
gubernatorial support, advocates
openly profess little hope for pass
age Of the legislation.
Business Regulation
Identical bills introduced in the
House and Senate would require
a vitality different approach in
the matter of setting reasonable
rates for public utilities. At the
present time, in assuring a fair
-eturn on investment, the Utilities
Commission may consider the re-
placement cost of the utility's
equipment( quite high in infla-
tionary times), whereas under the
bills formula original cost OF
equipment with an allowance
for depreciation or obsolescence
would be considered. Another
measure introduced this week
would permit the Commission,
when a rate change is requested,
TO examine the utility's books to
determine the reasonableness of
the rate in question. Such an ex-
animation would be required on
request made to the Commission
