1985 General Assembly Lauded By Moore
Continued from Pace 1)
the number of mechanically dangerous vehicles on our
highways. And we will, in the next two years, place 100
additional highway patrolmen on the highways to enforce
our traffic laws. Outside rear view mirrors will be re
quired 1 bn all new cars.
Realizing that North Carolina must have a modern
highway system to meet its needs, the General Assembly
has authorized a referendum on the issuance of 9300 mil
lion in highway bonds to be voted on by the people In the
general election next November. If approved, half of the
money will be spent on the primary system, $75 million
will go to secondary roads, and $75 million will be used on
highways within municipalities. We will also reorganize
the highway commission for greater efficiency and better
results.
Because of the work cf this legislature, implementation
of court reforms will begin in 1966. By 1971, all courts
below the Superior Court level will be replaced by a sys
• tern of uniform district courts charging uniform costs and
* Uses. The General Assembly also approved a proposed
constitutional amendment to authorize an intermediate
♦ court of appeals. The people will also vote on this pro
posal in November.
A significant step by the General Assembly was the en
actment of legislation spelling out details of the so-called
“Power Compromise.” This agreement between private
power companies and our Rural Electric Cooperatives es
tablishes territorial rights in municipally-annexed areas.
This is a tremendously important step forward. According
to the Electrical World, national trade magazine. North
Carolina “has led the way in bringing about a working re
lationship between investor-owned utilities and rural elec
tric cooperatives—already other states are eyeing the pat
tern or agreement and legislation adopted by North Ca
rolina.”
The enactment of a Uniform Commercial Code will

strengthen our business community and make our state
more attractive to prospective industrial investors.
The General Assembly has been generous in dealing with
local governmental units. More than $1.4 million has been
appropriation for public libraries. Public health depart
ments will receive $4 2 million; mental health units, $2.1
million; county welfare departments, $31.5 million.
To meet a very serious problem of over-crowding in our
Juvenile Correctional System, funds have been appropri
ated for the construction of an additional major facility.
Substantial funds were also made available to facilitate
expansion of the Probation System.
To promote economic development, action has been taken
to establish regional offices across the state to work with
local officials and development groups in creating new
and improved industrial potentials. A number of rela
tively modest appropriations will benefit our travel and
recreation industry. These funds will be used for site de
velopment, construction and improvements to museums,
lakes, historic sites, festivals and parks.
In addition to the various agricultural research pro
grams mentioned earlier, the General Assembly has looked
to the needs of our farm people with appropriations that
will substantially improve the operation of the Department
of Agriculture, especially in the Meat and Poultry Inspec
tion Program. The Egg Marketing Inspection Service, for
merly supported by an inspection fee, will now be sup
ported by the state.
The expansion of our port facilities at Morehead City
and Wilmington will continue through the appropriation
of almost $4.5 million for capital improvements.
A Governor’s Coordinating Council on Aging was estab
lished by the General Assembly. This gives legal status
to a vitally important agency and will enable us to meet
more efficiently the needs of our increasing number ol
elder citizens.
In the general area of state government, the legislature
and the Governor’s Office have worked together to insure
economic, efficient service to the people of North Carolina
We have established a State Planning Task Force to co
ordinate joint state-federal projects. We are strengthening
our Personnel Department by combining it with the Merit
System Council. A 10 per cent pay increase for state em
ployees will enable us to attract and keep competent, ex
perienced personnel in state government.
I am pleased that the General Assembly has given over
whelming approval for my recommendation that a special
commission be appointed to study the controversy arising
over the Speaker Ban Law. Lieut. Gov. Robert Scott,
Speaker of the House Patrick Taylor and I were author
ized to appoint the members of this commission. It will
hold public hearings so that everyone can be heard be
fore a fair ahd impartial group, in a calm and judicial
manner.
The findings of this commission will carry weight with
the General Assembly, with the higher education com
' munity and with the people of North Carolina. I am con
fident that this study commission offers the surest and
most direct solution to a most complex problem.
These, of course, are not all the accomplishments of the
1965 General Assembly. There are many more that time
will not permit me to review now. I do feel, however,
that North Carolinians have reason to be proud of the
progress that has been made in this session. Another im
pressive chapter has been added to the North Carolina
tradition of good government.
I want to assure all of you that this tradition will be
continued through the remainder of my administration
We will move ahead with all our programs as rapidly as
possible.
We are building a great state. We are moving toward
the better and more abundant life that can be ours. And
we will reach that goal sooner than we think if we con
tinue to work together. I pledge my total energy to the
achievement of that end. And I am counting on the sup
port of all North Carolinians.
