Jordan Says Highway Body Seeks Fair Fund Commission Head Declares Honest Effort Made At Fair Apportionment Winston-Salem, Oct. 19 — The North Carolina State Highway and Public Works Commission “is making an honest effort to arrive at a fair apportionment" of state highway funds, Dr. Henry W. Jor dan, chairman of the commission told the North Carolina League of Municipalities today. Dr. Jordan was one of the prin ciple speakers at the opening ses sion of the 40th annual confer ence of the league, which contin ued through noon Friday. Dr. Jordan, who noted past dif ferences between the commission and the league over distribution of highway funds, said he felt the commission now has the best ap proach to the problem it has ever had, mainly because “it has more funds to work with.” He cited the work of the State Municipal Road Commission, ere : a ted by act of the 1949 Legisla ture, which currently is making a tour of the state to determine the street needs of cities and towns. The commission is seeking to determine if “there is a formula with the element of justice for all,” Dr. Jordan said, and he add ed that with the increase of the state appropriation for upkeep of I city streets from $1,000,000 to $2, 500,000 this year, cities and towns would have approximately $5,000, 000 for street purposes. The results, he said, will give a yardstick which will note if the added money relieves the need of cities. The big problem, Dr. Jordan pointed out, is the allocation of funds in such a way that they won't “be wasted by bad manage- , ment," and he noted that the state has 513 towns with less than 2,500 population where there is "no more !

Clyde and Clarence Robbins, brothers, were charged with drunkenness and disturbing the peace in a warrant drawn by Sheriff Moxley. The two, accord ing to the charge, went to the Eli Norman home and acted so bois teriously that Mr. Norman and his wife were forced to leave. The two men remained and ate over a dozen of the chickens belonging to the owner, according to the re port. Sheriff Moxley said he believed a nine months suspended prison | sentence wrould be put into effect against the tw-o by probation offi I cers. actual government than out in the j country.” Following the highway commis | sioner, Roy L. Williamson, city manager of Rocky Mount, termed Dr. Jordan “one of North Caro lina's ‘first’ ” in that he was tire first representative of the State Highway Commission ever to bring ' the league ‘‘any words of encour 1 agement for our efforts towards ! getting recognition from the State Highway Commission of the needs and finances necessary to aid the i cities in their street programs.” Williamson said the league had noted a “decided improvement” in its relationship with the highway commission, and feels that the commission has its interest at heart, with members of the com mission "actively at work in their division to improve this relation | ship.” “This is the type of cooperation 1 that will get results,” he said. Williamson noted that the lea gue’s program for the past years has been threefold: 1— To secure more funds for street programs on a basis of a fair distribution pf the gasoline tax. 2— To secure a broader basis of distribution of maintenance funds allotted to municipalities. 3— To secure the right to call these funds municipal funds and | use municipal judgment as to where they should be spent so long as the highways are maintained in a satisfactory condition. “The present formula,” he said, “is very unfair in that one-third of it is beyond the control of the municipality.” In making the keynote address of the conference, Mayor J. Ray Shute of Monroe said municipali ties “face a future whose glowing symbol seems to be a gigantic question mark.” He mentioned increasing buc} j gets, demands for more and better j services and, at the same time, i limited sources of revenue. “While we can expect little in- ! creased tax powers,” he said, “we j should at least seek legislation on j a positive level which would, for example, permit us to tax wliere ever we are not specifically denied the right. As it now stands, we are authorized to levy and where specific authority is not granted, we are prohibited—it is a nega tive method.” OR BY LATER DEVELOPMENTS Poison ivy can be recognized by the groups of three leaves with j toothed or plain edges.
