Past* 12-A?TUP HKI NSWU K KK.UOV Thur>da>. Jul> A m I - IT"* Agriculture, K Advance In Le An agricultural finance bill sailed through the House and a substitute highway bill was on its way to a conference committee Tuesday, according to Hep David Redwine. Meanwhile, a proposed statewide occupancy lax bill was hilled in the Senate, never making it over to the House. The bill had prompted local concern as it threatened a source of revenue for several communities, including Ocean Isle, where a local room tax is helping to finance construction of a sewer system and other projects that benefit both permanent ami summer residents. Tt's not going anywhere," said Redwine. But an agricultural finance bill that would make loans available for everything from land to seeds is on its way to the Senate after passing its third and final vote in the House by unanimous vote, he said. Not so the roads bill. "We don't know what final form the Future Highway Bill is going to take." said Redwine. "Rut it will contain a gas tax increase." A committee substitute version of the bill passed on its third reading in the House, he said. That means a conference committee will have to hammer out the differences between the House and Senate versions. Committee members will have numerous points on which to bargain. Originally (low Jim Martin had proposed a 2.75e gas tax increase, plus transfer of tite driver's education .11 iu lu^ima} puuoi pru^rauts ironi uie mgnway r lino to the General Fund, freeing up about 1200 million to meet highway needs, Lt.

That plan, approved by the Senate, would have netted approximately $172 million. The House substitute, however, eliminated the driver's education tranfer and the license registration fee. reducing the first-year income to about $132 million. That figure should increase, by House members* calculations, because the gas tax revenue ; would increase as gas prices increase. Also, the House has tacked on to its version a further point for negotiating elimination of the household property tax. Following a Democratic caucus Tuesday, an amendment to transfer the driver's education program to the General Fund was defeated on a 60 to 57 vote. Redwine and about 20 other Democrats joined House Republicans in voting for the transfer. "We felt tin? Highway Fund needed the dollars," he said In voting contrary to the House leadership. Redwine said he voted for wliat he thought was best for his constituents. He said he hoped his vote sent a message to the transportation secretary* and area transportation commissioner, who have pushed the governor's package and said that even more monies are needed to maintain and expand the state's network of roads. When it comes time to spend the proceeds of the bill. Redwine added, maybe they'll remember how he voted. In a tcken gesture, legislators adopted a non binding resolution in which they recommend that the 1987 General Assembly transfer the driver's education program to the General Fund if sufficient growth has occurred that funds are available to absorb the cost. "That could spark some interesting debate in the next session," he said, as legislators try to determine if the right amount of growth has occurred in the economy. ring On Roads ration Building Chimney Koad/Cld Ferry Koadi from S R 1125 toS It. 1520. a distance base ami pave of 2 3 miles: and also from t' S 17 to 102 Berry Farm \.c 211. a distance of 42 mile: and I. two miles in s.K 1145 Village Koadi from N.C. 179 to S R. 114i?

With the plan, he said, "You're trying to determine how you're going to grow and how you want to grow." By adopting policies with "teeth" as part of the town's strategy for implementing the plan, he said, the town can have a say in how and where growth occurs and the type of ci um in uic town I'spcrii'Tes.
