The completion of the Welfare building last week is the culmination of these plans. The new building cost $40, 132.66, of which the county paid $18,282.66.

The total cost of the three buildings is near $100,000 plus the original cost of the land. The new Welfare building is equipped with modern furniture with a large reception room entrance.

Series No. 3: House Of Representatives Duties, Salary Explained ; The Times presents the third in a series of eleven articles dealing with the public offices subject to the Democratic Primary on May 30th. The series is intended to inform our readers and does not make any endorsement of any candidate, encumbent or challenger. house or REPRESENTATIVES The House of Representatives is probably one of the offices to be voted on May 30th, that most people have at least a general idea as to its duties. Basically, it does just what the name Implies. The holder of the office does represent the people of the county in the legislature in Raleigh. The legislature meets every other year in regular session and a Representative's term of office is for two years. He is paid $15.00 per day for 120 days in salary plus $12.00 per day expenses for the same period. Any service beyond the 120 day limit is without compensation. Representatives also get seven cents a mile round trip for travel expense. The Representative, as a member of the General Assem bly is charged with making all the appreciations for the State government and its sub divisions; to raise revenue in the form of taxes to pay the expense of government and to pass general laws under which our citizens live. The seniority system in the General Assembly follows that of the U. S. Congress. Mem bers with previous experience receive the more important Committee appointments. It is also the duty of the General Assembly to. pass local laws governing the principle affairs of county government." In summary, the duties are to reflect the wishes and .desires of the people they represent. In the May Primary, Franklin Cpunty has three outstanding men in the race for Represent ative. Th??y are, James S|x?ed, who has served In the 1961^ and 19r?3 terms; Norn's W. Collins, who has served as county commissioner for several years and James T. Moss, popular Youngsvllle farmer and one of the Nations Outstanding Young Farmers. Each is now waging a vigor ous campaign for the votes of Franklin County citizens.
