BOARD REQUES ED TO COT ABCCOSTS Franklin Commissioners Asked to Abolish Board, Take On Duties Them-| selves ^ A resolution asking abolition , of the Franklin County's three-mem ber ABC board and transfer of its duties to the County Commission- ! ers and the County Auditor will be presented Monday by Harvey T. Bartholomew, hew commission er. The resolution asks that the County's members of the General Assembly, Senator W. L. Lump kin and Representative A. F. John son, to introduce a bill for the change In the ABC system in the county. Bartholomew said his resolu-! tion was prompted by a reduction in net profits of the county's two i stores ? in Louisburg and Frank linton ? and necessity for reducing expenses of operation. His propos al would provide no extra remun eration to the commissioners and the auditor for operation of the stores, now conducted by a three man board. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1938, profits of the two stores were $26,677.61 less than those of the previous year, Bartholomew i^aicjln a statement on his resolu tion. "This," he said, "necessitates j the drastic reduction of overhead ' expenses, which have increased in-j the face of a great reduction in *ales and profits, caused primari y by the opening of Wake and j Durham county stores." Bartliol- j omew said abolition of the board would cut expenses of operation ! by $4,000 a year. "If the"proposed bill in the Legi slature for increases in taxes onl iieer and whiskey is passed, with j rhe present set-up it will be liec- \ ? ssary to draw on the county, gon- 1 ~ral fund to meet the expenses of j operating the stores." Bartholomew put' his resolution 1 oefore the commissioners two' weeks ago, but no action was ta loi'isbhiu; boys take WIN OVER CAHI?IX,VI'S Elizabeth City, Feb. 1.?

The Supremei Court ruled Monday that fourteen private power companies had no ; legal right' to challenge the gov- 1 einment's gigantic Tennessee Val-j ley Authority ppwer program. In a decision' delivered by Jus-j tice Roberts, the tribunal held the utilities had "no right to be free: of ctiriipetitiion.'' "In no aspect of the case havej the appellants standing to main tain t'he suit." Justice Roberts as-1 verted. Justices. Butler and McReynolds dissented to the five to two deci-' sion. contending it "goes too far.": <io-Ah?*ad Sign 'The opinion gave the govern ment a go-ahead sign for continu ed construction of a series of dams in the Tennessee Valley and for sale of surplus pgwer produced. The high court affirmed a de cree in favor of t'he government by ? three-Judge federal court fn eas tern Tennessee. The thr^e-judge court had held the TVA act constit uWonal and that the utilities "have no im-j munltiy from lawful competition I even if their business be curtailed 01 destroyed." The Supreme Court, however. I did not rule directly on constitu tionality of the TVA law, confini I ing itself to the right of the utili-l ties to bring suit. r * Dirt Not Part icipate Justice Butler, who wrote the dissenting opinion, contended that the utilities were, "entitled t?t; have tills court decide upon t'he j constitutional questions they have brought here." v Justice Reed did not' participate in the decisiou. As solicitor gen eral he had argued a previous TVA j case before the tribunal. Roberts asserted that "t'he vice of the posttloh" taken by the power companies "is that neither their charters nor their local fran chises Involve the grant of a monopoly or render competition illegal." ? . , "The franchise to exist- as a cor- ' poration, and to function ? as a public utility. In the a<bsni|ce of a specific charter contract on the subject." the opinion continued.1 "creates no right to free of com-j petition, and affords the corpora-' tlon no legal cause of complaint by ' reason of the state's subsequently j authorizing another to enter and operate in the Bame field. 'No Contractual Right' "The local franchises, while having elements of property, con fer no contractual or property right to be free of competition either from individuals, other pub lic utility corporations, or t'he state or municipality granting the franchises. ? "The grantor may preclude lt? self by contract from initiating or permitting such competition, but! no such contractual obligation is here asserted." Roberts Mid the federal dis trict court "finds that the auth ority has not< Indulged in coercion, duress, fraud, or misrepresenta tion In procuring contracts with municipalities, cooperatives or other purchasers of power; has not acted with any malicious or malevolent motive; and has not conspired with municipalities or, other purchaser of power." "The record Justifies these find ings," Roberts asserted. ANNOUNCEMENT Mrs. A. M. Jones announce the marriage of her daughter, Betty Glenn, to Mr. Ruben R. Klssell.
