At least two statewide ‘master bills” authorizing cities an<f towns to provide off street parking places are pending in the legislature, along with half a dozen special local acts apply ing to individual communities. Something like a dozen local bills dealing with parking meters have been introduced, and a “master bills” of statewide applications is in the making. The problem of roadside parking on country high ways is attracting more and more attention of the highway commis sion and the highway patrol, and curb parking on streets is an im portant, though not much pub licized, element entering into con sideration of state aid to munici pal streets. It is not recalled that the matter has been mentioned in public speaking, but privately numerous legislators have raised the question 'of whether municipal ities can legally install parking meters on streets entirely main tained by the state.

DAVID CLIFFORD ■<■*.«& DUNN, TUESDAY, jFEBRUARY 27, 1951 Senator Wants Farm Census Act Repealed RALEIGH, Feb. 27—(IP)— State lawmakers started off the legislative week last night in an argumentative; mood and received another flock of new bills. Most controversial of the new measures was one to repeal the act which makes farm census re ports possible. Its author was Sen. J. Thomas Page of Rockingham. The bill would repeal a 1949 act which requires counties to col lect farm census information for the State Department of Agricul ture. In 1947 the county officials succeeded in getting a law passed to relieve them of the census job, and the new measure is designed to do the same thing again. The Senate also received a bill to provide a nome ior the care of needy cancer patients. Sen. John D. Larkins presented the measure explaining that North Carolina Cancer Institute would as sume responsibility for the care of such patients if the State would provide a building. The bill would lease a building at Camp Butner to the institute and appropriate $85,000 for ren ovation and equipment. The House received a resolution commending that legislators g)et out of the “traditional rut” of rais ing taxes to boost revenue. The resolution suggested each House member come up with an idea to raise $1,000,000, such as a plan to boost tourist trade or attract in dustry. But the House stumbled to a halt on a Senate bill to prohibit use of profane or indecent lang uage to females over the telephone. Rep.,'Roger Kaiser Os Scotland sent UP tt) amendment to cross out the word females and the House ap proved the change. But after the measure passed second reading some members tried to take the amendment out again. The move failed 38-55 but the protects continued and only a move to carry the bill over broke the stalemate.

It has been out of use since Sunday when it caught fire. Police Chief G. A. Jackson said the fire apparently started in the transformer. The cause of the fire has not ben determined.
