PAGE THREE WEEKLY LEGISLATIVE SUMMARY Eleven and a half weeks in Raleigh have been enough to make legislators think seriously of winding up the ses sion; some have made the point on the floor. The wave of local bills in troduced this week probably means the members want to be sure their local bills are not lost in the last minute scramble following approval of the revenue and appropriations bills, measures that may reach the floor shortly. Despite these developments, the presiding officers have not yet appointed calendar committees, the us ual signal of anticipated adjournment. Appropriations and Taxation Revenue Department information released by the Governor on Friday in dicates that tax collections in the cur rent fiscal year will exceed by some $lO million the December estimates used by the Advisory Budget Com mission in projecting collections avail able for spending in the next bien nium. With an anticipated General Fund surplus of S2O million at the end of the current biennium, and assuming the current estimate of a $lO million Collection excess holds good for the next 2 years, the General Assembly may have found about S4O million to apply against the requests for some SBO million more than the Advisory Budget Commission originally recom mended. Even though the joint fi nance committee has approved no ma terial changes in the state’s tax struc ture, this prophecy of more money makes it likely that the appropria- ' tions subcommittee’s recommendations to be turned over to the full commit tee on Tuesday will be substantially in excess of the figures with which I they started work. I Administration of Justice The Judicial Council, the permanent agency studying improvement of the administration of justice, submitted 25 bills to this General Assembly; to date 9 have passed, 9 have been killed, and 7 remain in committee. Proposals on judicial organization, such as those transferring (pursuant to the recent constitutional amend- - ment) from the governor to the chief justice the duty of assigning superior court judges, have met general ap proval indeed the Assembly may go farther by setting up 3 court divisions and providing more regular judges for the more populous districts, a step , the Council opposes until the chief justice has had a chance to ease doc kets through more careful assign ment. On the other hand, legislators are much more conservative in their approach to procedural changes. They have disapproved 2 bills to. permit juries to take exhibits and “written instructions into the jury room, one which would bar bystanders in all cases involving sex crimes, and 5 more which would have simplified civil and criminal procedure. Still to be approv ed is the more essential of 2 measures offered to make sure that condemned prisoners will not be executed while an appeal is in process. Bills left in committee include HB 77, opening all court records to public inspection ex-, cept those dealing with adoption and juvenile court proceedings, BB 82,1 fIF ' \ IH 5-STAR SERVICE IS MY 5-WAY PROTECTION "With this certificate on my farm machines I know that I’ve had the best service anyone can give.

Race Track Betting Opponents of pari-mutuel betting at ■ dog tracks in Carteret and Currituck counties made it plain at a public hearing on Tuesday that they do not consider race track gambling a mat ter for local legislation. A large dele gation appearing to support bills out awing pari-mutuel betting in this state told the House propositions and 1 grievances committee that nation-wide syndicates control North Carolina tracks and receive most of the pro its. Paralleling the argument for a state-wide liquor referendum, race track opponents contended there should be a consistent state policy on gambling. Next Tuesday the same committee will hear proponents of pari-mutuel betting. Small jLoans and Insurance Working from information furnished the legislature by the Banking Com-, missioner, Senators Stoney and Lar-|j kins have proposed that a commission • be established to study the need for ' accident and health insurance rate - regulation with special emphasis on pob'cies purchased in conjunction with small loans. As an alternative, Sena tor Stoney introduced a bill which would immediately give the Commis sioner of Insurance authority to regu late accident and health policy rates. I Bankers and insurance men attending I a hearing on Thursday were confront ed with statements that excessive rates are being charged on policies sold to secure loans and heard the Banking Commissioner assert that a 2-year delay in dealing with the mat ter would- cost borrdwers $5 million. A subcommittee has been assigned the task of recommending a solution. Roads and Automobiles Another motor vehicle inspection bill was introduced in the House on Friday just as the Senate received unfavorable reports on 2 similar pro posals. The new bill’s fate seemed predetermined. The Senate has pass ed the turnpike bill and has approved a bill to prohibit persons under 15 from operating farm machinery on (Continued on Page Nine) FOR SALK “THE KING OF SWINE” PIGS BOARS GILTS Member OIC Swine Breeders Association 35 Years Selby R.
