Weekly Legislative Summary nb Is Be is A series of weekly snm- MuiM i -epsred by the legislative stall ml the utitnte of Government on tfc< Week • the North Carolina General Imeinb of IMI. It Is confined t< discnssi ns of matters of general in terest a id major importance. The General Assembly pre seated rate of its increasingly freque it road performances at Winstc i-Salem Wednesday. The two i auses met in the same arena, with only a curtain to ■epara e them, and their loud epeake -s were beamed at the same i udience. As the curtain offeree only token resistance to the pi ssage of sound, the ses sion < eveloped intd a contest tietwec a reading clerks Billy Arthui .of the House and Eu gene Simmons of the Senate. Arthui won. Lot illative Representation EB i 05 and HB 478, the lon,g awaite 1 bills to reduce the State’s Congressional districts to eleven were introduced Monday night 1 >y Sen. Morgan and Rep. Kemp, respectively. Although the bi ils differ in detail, both answei the two biggest ques tions i a the same way— both place Congressmen Cooley and Fount: in in the same district, and b >th leave populous Meck lenbur ; in Republican Charles Jonas’ district. Roughly speak ing, b( th bills take the five dis tricts which now lie generally west >f a line running from Scotlai id to Granville counties and c< nvert them into four dis tricts. Wake County, whieh f is now n Congressman Cooley’s 4th di itriet, is transferred to a new 7 h district which embraces southern Piedmont counties; the resident Congressman in this district is Paul Kitchin of An son County. The present 12th district! which extends westward from Buncombe to Cherokee would )be enlarged by both bills; Kemp t would add 4 counties; whereas Morgan would add 3 counties. The Kemp bill would •leave the present 3rd, sth, 6th and 7th districts unchanged; the Morgan! bill would leave only the prepent 6tfyfcunchanged,_ (the 6th, comprised of Guilford, Ala mance, Orange and Durham, is tile most populous district in the state). troduced in the session, became tile first bill affecting seats in the General Assembly to pass in 20 years. This means that—irr \J»e 1963 General Assembly, Mecklenburg will have 5 House seats, Cumberland will have 3, Alamance, and Buncombe, and Onslow will each have 2, and Cabarrus, Johnston and Pitt will each have' one; all other coun ties will have the same repre sentation they have in the 1961 session. . Courts I The cbntest over court revis ion moved closer to a decision, and possibly closer to agreement during the week. The House Committee on Courts and Ju dicial Districts reported favor ably a committee substitute for liß 104, the Taylor Bill, to establish a uniform and unified court system in the state. The substitute is in the nature of q compromise, and eliminates Northeastern Milling Co.

Vir tually all of the provisions of HB 104 which vested consider able authority in the Supreme Court have been changed to re turn that authority to the Gen eral Assembly. The substitute accepts the provision from HB 444 which leaves in the General Assembly basic authority to make procedural rules for courts ■below the Supreme Court, but this authority could be delegat ed to the Supreme Court, sub ject to the continuing power of the General Assembly to amend the Court-made rules. The new HB 104 would require the General Assembly to establish a uniform system of lower courts to replace all existing courts, including justices of the peace, below the superior court. The Supreme Court would have gen eral administrative authority over the entire court system, and the entire system would be financed at the State level. As the committee reported out the substitute for HB 104 it nar rowed the issue by then report ing unfavorably HB 149 and HB 444. Consideration of the sub stitute HB 104 was made a spe cial order of business for the House for April 25. Motor Vehicles Three bills relating to Motor Vehicles were introduced Fri day. HB 544 that the principal fee for registration of property-carrying vehicles oper ated in combination shall be placed on the power unit (the tractor) and that a fee of $3.00 shall be imposed on trailers and semi-trailers. The bill also spe cifies rates for farm vehicles, which are one half the rates fixed for private haulers. HB 545 adds a new Article to the Motor Vehicles Chapter of the General Statutes to au thorize the Commissioner of Mo tor Vehicles to enter into re ciprocity agreements with other states and countries with regard to licensing and registration of motor vehicles. HB 547 would provide for probationary opera tors’ licenses for persons be tween the age of 16 and 18, to be valid only during day light hours, and to be subject to stricter suspension- and revoc®- i tion provisions than are regu lar licenses. The bill also would allow a court to impound, for a period in the discretion of the court and at the expense of the owner, a vehicle used in ■prearranged highway racing, or in speeding, or which failed to stop after an acciderVt. HB 366, which increases the penalties for prearranged racing on the highways, passed the House Tuesday after weathering a heavy attack. SB 98, requir ing annual inspections of motor vehicles passed the Senate on Tuesday; similar bills have fail ed in recent sessions, following an unsatisfactory experience with a 1947 bill.

Zoning HB 509 empowers any munici pality to zone the territory within one mile of its corporate limits; the power is how limited to municipalities of more than 2,500 populaton. The bill also provides that if the county com missioners fail to appoint the required additional members to the municipalzoning commis sion, planning board or 'board of adjustment, the municipal governing board. may make the appointments after 90 days. HB 510 removes the require ment that a municipal govern ing body which zones two or more corners of an intersection must upon request of affected property owners make the same regulations cover the other corners. HB 508 provides that municipal subdivision regula tions may require construction of community service facilities in accordance with municipal policies and standards. Finance and Appropriations The Finance Committees heard representatives of electric pow er and natural gas companies protest proposed higher taxes on their products. A representative of the NC Wholesalers Associa tion declared that a tax on to bacco products would lead to bootlegging and a destruction of tax morality, as well as sharply decreased sales. A rep resentative of the Association of Local ABC Boards also feared an increase in bootlegging and a reduction of sales if liquor tax- you err EXTRA MEASURE of promptness when you buy Texaco products for your farm needs from us.

The walls of the historic old capitol were equal to the strain last Saturday—'they stood up, even though a Republican was presiding over the House. Mrs. W. N. Cook did the honors at the abbreviated session and con ducted the meeting with im partiality. Observing that her Democratic opponent was pres ent in the lobby she invited him to sing, but the Democrats pres ent, apparently feeling that they had suffered enough, objected.
