Disputes concerning state government buildings will be settled by the N.C. Historical Commission, using a uniform statewide standard. Sen. Henson P. Barnes, D- Wayne, and Rep. Bertha M. Holt, D-Alamance, sponsors of the amendment, have agreed to continue their efforts on behalf of historic preservation legislation proposed by the Attorney General’s Committee on Local Historic Preservation. Edmisten said, “My preser vation law committee has worked long and hard to produce the best preservation package in the country,. This makes the state of North Carolina a truly good neighbor in every community.” Special Funding Gets Approval RALEIGH The General Assembly approved special funding Friday of $485,000 for the N.C.

In requesting the funding, Sen. Daniels observed, “the fishermen and farmers in North Carolina today are experiencing some of the most difficult times in their industry’s history.
