The General Assembly, after pass ing favorably upon the matter it was called to consider, adjourned sine die at noon, Saturday, after be ing in session exactly sixteen days and one hoar. Though it was the shortest extra session that the North Carolina General Assembly has held in many years, much im portant State-wide legislation was enacted and a mass of local bills handled.

Questions To Be Submitted. Questions that will be submitted to the people by referendum at the November election, are: The ratification of the act 'known as the Port Commission Bill that provides for port development along the coast and the inland waterways of North Carolina; creates a port commission to direct the affairs; and authorizes the State Treasurer to issue $8,500,000 in bonds to procure funds for this purpose. Only $7,000, 000 of the appropriation will be used for the construction of ports and terminals, while the remaining $1, 600,000 will be held in reserve for the construction of a merchant ship line, should it be deemed necessary - for the success of the project. The' proposed amendment to the State Constitution relative to the inviobility of State sinking funds allowing the use of re venue, collect ed from the faxes on automobiles and the sale of gasoline for the re tirement of highway bonds.
