It is too earlv to say whether the new laws will prove wise in the long run. Almost every change in the statutes was opposed bv at least a few lawmakers, and time may prove them right. But for good or evil, these are some of the new laws which seem destined to have a profound effect: The state will issue $14,250,000 in bonds for Dermanent improve ments at North Carolina institu tions. It will also hold a referen dum to decide whether the state should Issue $22,000,000 in bonds for mental hospital Improvements and $50,000,000 to build schools. The need for the improvements is gen erally conceded, but a laree bloc of lawmakers have warned that the bonds will impose a severe load on the state, and the taxpayers, In the vears to come. The assembly approved a $620.- 000.000 budget to run the state during the next two-vear period. It is the- largest budget in North Caro lina history. But 'the assembly killed a provision for a $17,000,000 “cushion fund” to be used in case of need. The Advisory Budget Com mission had strongly recommended the fund, paying that the state had only had enough money in the past because revenues had exceeded estimates. ”ONEY wered pleas for ass?*; -■ late Bi* Convention HOUSTON, Tex.
