I Thursday. June 9, 1983 The A Evans Vp Report Rep. Charles D. Evans Representative First District Jr? By Rep. Charles D. Evans Friday, June 3,1363 mark ed the 103rd day of the 1963 Legislative Session. As of that date, 1,213 bills have been fil ed in tlw House of Represen tatives and S7l bills have been filed in the Senate. You may recall from an earlier report that I figured out the average number of bills introduced for each isenatar and each representative. To bring, you up-to-date as , ) of Friday, the average number of bills introduced by each senator is 11.42 and the average number of billser per each representative is 10.11. Therefore, the Senate re mains ahead of the House in the number of Bills introduc ed for each member. For purposed of com parison, as of the 103rd legislative day of tbfe 1961 Ses sion, 1,203 bills had been in troduced in the House and 643 bills had been introduced in the Senate. There are several matters which I would like to discuss and bring to the attention of the people in the First District. At the request of the Dare County Board of Com missioners, Sen. Daniels, Rep. James, and I have in troduced a Joint Resolution regarding the establishment of a safe passage through Oregon Inlet. It appears that there has developed in the Oregon Inlet, in the last several months, another channel which is being called the Middle Channel. Mo6t of the people who are fimiliar with the movement of Oregon Inlet and many of the old-time commercial fishermen in the area feel that it may be less trouble to maintain a middle channel tirin''fc'qotitlnUe to maintain TfiC ‘ ftWilf ShAWnfeH* which is presently being used by the trawlers and charter boats going out of Oregon In let. This Resolution requests the Congress of the United States to appropriate funds 1 for this emergency dredging to open and establish the mid dle channel. Already, the Corp of Engineers has in dicated interest in doing this, and sdme work may already have begun. We are hopeful that this Resolution can be , passed in the very near future and sent to the Dare County ( - Tyfer 1 "Coming Next Week" ■K.

Another item of interest that has recently emerged is a request from the North eastern North Carolina Tomorrow orgainzation, which is made up of represen tatives of 16 counties. The organization, particularly the subcommittee on Travel and Tourism, has requested legislation which would allow the establishment of “Bed and Breakfast” places which could operate without having to meet the fairly strict food and lodging requirements that ordinary commercial estblishments have to meet. t It is, anticipated that there will be a great number of peo ple to visit Northeastern Nqrth Carolina during the 400th anniversary celebra tion. It will be impossible for all these people to be housed and fed in Dare County where the major part of the celebra tion will occur. And during the peak periods, it will be necessary to house people in other areas of the state. Many people have indicated an interest in opening their homes to allow people to stay overnight and also, of course, tp provide them a light bfeakfast the following mor ning. It is from this type of operation that the name “Bed and Breakfast” developed. Some of you may have visited and stayed in “Bed and Breakfast” establishments in England where they are very popular. I do not view the establishment of these “Bed and Breakfast” places to be a threat to our commercial food and logding establishments. I think that it is something that many people in our area of the state would like to try to do as to the peo 'PriKMaui win ■ also give the areas outside of Dare County the opportunity to become more involved in the 400th Anniversary ac tivities. I am hopeful that this legislation which is cospon sored by Representative James and myself will meet with success. I am happy to announce, finally, that the Governor’s Safe Roads Act has finally been enacted into law. This occurred this past week in the General Assembly as a result of the agreement of the Con- ference Committee of wbkh I am a member. The legislation itself, as you may recall, was deliberated upon for approx imately two months during the opening of the Session by the respective committees in the House and the Senate. Then, after the bills were passed by each chamber, because of the differences in volved in the two versions, it was necessary for a con ference committee to be ap pointed. It consisted of seven members from the House and seven members from the Senate. For the last two months, the Conference Com mittee has been meeting to work out and compromise dif ferences between the two ver sions. Hie final meetings oc curred on Wednesday and Thursday of this past week during which time a final agreement was reached. This legislation, which will become (me of the toughest laws in the United States to deal with drinking drivers, will become effective October l, 1963. • During the last few weeks, most all the bills that resulted from recommendations of the Legislative Research Com mission study on the Coastal Area Management Act laws have been considered and passed by the House and the Senate. One of these measures which was con sidered this past week in com mittee is the creation of a tax credit for individuals or cor porations who desire to donate certain conservation lands or lands that would be useful for public ownership or access. This legislation is in tended to help those land owners who may desire to donate these lands to the state for public use and ownership and who would be more like ly to do so if a tax credit incen tive were available. I believe that this legislation will be very helpful to all parties in volved in these situations. Another Coastal Area Management bill which was t - ’ »i THE CHOWAN HERAI.n considered this week is the ex tension of the public beach ac cess program to the estuarine beach lands. Many of you will recall that in the 1961 Session of the General Assembly the Public Beach Access Pro gram was enacted. Several projects have occurred in the coastal areas of the first district, particularly in Kitty Hawk and Nags Head, as a result of monies that were ap propriated for the program. This bill, to which 1 refer, would extend this public beach program to estaurine beaches as well as ocean beaches and would enable willing property owners to negotiate a sale to the state of North Carolina for lands that would be desirable for public access and ownership. Both of these bills would allow land owners whose lands have been adversely af fected by regulation which is for the benefit of the public to be in a position to be helped financially.

The second-cycle class of Bridges Program students during the 1962-83 school year recorded the highest success rate of any previous group since the program’s inception on Feb. 1,1982, according to Lucy Gordon, director. Five classes of economically disad vantaged adults have par ticipated in the individual study and counseling pro gram that assists with the preparation for GED testing. Gordon said she is extreme ly pleased with the progress management program. If there are any particular areas of interest that any of the, readers desire me to of the Spring Cycle class, which was honored last month at a graduation ceremony held in the COA auditorium. Os the 15 class members who completed their high school requirements, this fall, 12 will enroll in eight cur riculum programs at the col lege.
