WOMAN EMPLOYED AS
A HIGHWAY ENGINEER

Raleigh - When the State
Highway Commission recently
employed its first full-fledged
lady engineer in its Traffic
Engineering Department, pretty
Emily Brown of Wilmington dis
proved the accepted belief that
engineering is a mans field. She
Joined the ranks of a group that
has always been stated by men
alone.
Not only is Emily Brown the
first woman highway engineer in
North Carolina, but she's also
one of the few women engineers
in the Southeast.
Right now her work in the Ra-
leigh Highway office consists of
designing State highway inter
sections. She is under the guild
ance of State Traffic Engineer
Robert Burch. In time, she hopes
to branch out in the other fields
of traffic engineering which deal
with channelization, parking
studies, and Specialization. The
major emphasis of the Traffic
Engineering Department is on
redesigning existing highway
facilities into adequate and safe
interchanges.
Emily was well aware of the
entrenched traditions that she
would encounter in a mans en-
cheering world since her father,
c. E. Brown, has been an engi-
neer with the State Highway
Commission for many years. At
first, he gave her little encour-
agement since he knew that en-
cheering is a demanding and
often thankless profession. None
theless, dating from her high
school days, she has persisted in
her determination to be an engi-
neer. Today her father is mighty
proud of her work.
She got closeup view of
highway engineering since her
father is Division Engineer of
the States Third Highway Divi-
sion with headquarters in Will
mington. c. E. Brown is respon-
sible for the maintenance and
construction of the State roads
in Brunswick, Duplin, New Han
over, Onslow, Fender and Samp-
son Counties. After graduation
from Fayetteville High School,
Emily studied engineering at
State College, receiving her
Bachelor of Civil Engineering in
1858. Although other girls had
studied engineering at State Col

lege, none seemed to have the
stamina to complete the course
and graduate.
Emily Brown was the first wo-
man to actually complete ali
four years in the Civic Engineer
ing School and receive a degree.
Summers between school
terms, she worked as a drafts
man in the drafting room of the
Bridge Department in Raleigh.
After receiving her Bachelor of
Civic Engineering degree, she
realized that her sex would limit
job possibilities and would pre-
vent her from doing actual
construction work. She decided
to return to State College for a
year of graduate work and con-
centrate on the transportation
and highway design phase of
Civic Engineering.
This past summer she earned
professional degree in Civil
Engineering with an option in
transportation from State Col
lege.
While at State, she was a
member of the Student Chapter
of the American Society of Civil
Engineers and the Engineers
Council. Last spring she was a
guest of the American Society OF
Women Engineers when they
held their annual convention in
Washington, D. c.

she feels that engineering is q

Arlington Sales Tax
Bill Introduced in
General Assembly
By Alex R. Preston
SiuE SAcM Correspondent

RICHMOND, Jan. 29.-Arling-
ton could levy a 2 per cent retail
sales tax under legislation now
before the General Assembly.
The proposal was introduced
here yesterday by all of the
county's legislative delegation, ex-
cept Delegate Harrison Mann.
He said he did not believe there
was enough public demand for
such proposal
It was the first time the
county'S four-member delegation
has divided on legislation at the
current session. Delegate
Kathryn Stone, who held out
until the last minute, finally
agreed to sign her name to the
sales tax bill of Delegate j. May
nard Magruder because authority
for the Arlington County Board
to impose sales tax of not more
than 2 per cent would have to be
approved in county referendum
An identical bill was sponsored
at the other end of the Capitol
by Senator Charles R. Fenwick.
The legislation had been re-
quested by the county board.
The Fairfax delegation, mean
, while, was preparing a sales tax
bill of similar scope applicable
to that county Like the Airing
ton delegation. the Fairfax
group is opposed to a general
sales tax proposition but feels
such a law should be on the
books as a defensive measure"
In the event Arlington imposes
the measure.
All of the patrons are acting
on specific requests of their local
governing bodies.
The Arlington sales tax pro-
poSal will be given to a hearing
at 2:30 pm. Thursday by the
Counties. Cities and Towns
Committee, headed by Mr..
Magruder.
On February 8, a hearing will
be held on a bill to authorize
extra judges for Arlington and
Fairfax.
Another bill offered by the
Arlington delegation would au-
thorize the county to set up a
central purchasing bureau for
all departments.

Legislature Ba|ks
Tax Bills 10 Finance
Mississippi Schools
BY the Associated Press

JACKSON. Miss. Jan. 90.
The Mississippi Legislature
turned today to consideration
Of the States school equaliza-
ton program, designed to equal
lie facilities at white and Negro
schools.
The plan suffered q major set
back Wednesday when bills in
creasing oil and severance taxes
were defeated. The increases
would have financed part Of the
multi-million dollar program.
Senator George Owens said
that with the defeat of the oil
severance bills in the Finance
Committee, the public school
system is placed in a very dan
gerous position.
The Legislature has repealed
all laws ertaining to equalizing
school funds. and now has re-
fused through its Finance Com
mittee to levy a tax upon crude
oil in the State"
Senator Owens said the school
system will not be the only pro-
gram to suffer by the failure Of
the tax increase bills. He said
there is "a danger Of having to
cut back on teachers salaries.
retirement, old age assistance,
junior colleges. senior colleges,
public health. extention service,
and all other agencies designed
to promote the best interest of
the people"
The Senate Finance Commit
tee again frowned on aiding the
equalization program when it re-
fused to report favcrably yester-
