Need To Protect
Road Funds, Says
Builders Executive
Urges Passing Constitu
tional Amendment to
Prevent Diversion
An amendment to the State Con
stitution dedicating all special auto
motive tax revenue to highway pur
poses exclusively “is the only sure
way to guarantee protection of State
road funds, and promote planned and
orderly development of our highway
system,” says Warren Mann, execu
tive secretary of the Carolina Road
Builders Association.
“Automotive taxes are imposed and
collected for just one purpose—the
construction and maintenance of our
road system,” Mr. Mann said in a
prepared statement. “In principle,
they are dedicated and earmarked

funds, and cannot rightly be used for
any purpoee-other than to build and
repair roads.
“It is unfair to car and truck own
ers to collect these millions of dol
lars in taxes from them, and then
spend any part of that money for non-
I highway purposes.
1 “For the sake of tax equity and
justice, and in the interest of the de
velopment of highway transporta
tion in North Carolina, our Legisla
ture should give the citizens of this
State an opportunity to vote at the
earliest possible date on a constitu
tional amendment which would pro
vide permanent protection for these
road funds.”
Mr. Mann pointed out that if the
. $22,000,000 diverted from the High
, way Fund to the General Fund in
I past years was returned by legisla
tive action, and if a constitutional;
amendment was enacted to protect ourj
■ road funds in the future, it would go!
I a long way in assisting the next ad
ministration in carrying out an am
l bitious road program.

This Christman, join the Payroll Sav

regular, automatic purchase of U. S.
Savings Bonds. Or, if self-employed,
join the Bond-a-Month plan where
you bank. You should start filling those

ten Christmases from now you can fill
your whole family's stockings, including
your own. And you will be facing the
future with security and confidence.
U. S. Savings Bonds will open the door

siderable portion of the crop is still

Farmers stock peanuts in all sec
tions of the country continued gen-!
erally at Commodity Credit support,

tent and -the percentage of damage
shown by individual lots. Movements,
of shelled Number 2 peanuts to thej

the Carolina-Virginia area during the'
previous week totaled approximately
885,000 pounds according to reports
by the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture.
Slightly over 10 million pounds
moved to the Corporation in the
Southeast and about 2Ya million
pounds in the Southwest. Total pur
chases of farmers stock peanuts un
der the peanut program through No
vember amounted to about 223 mil
lion pounds.
