General Assembly Last Week Passed Many Bills Of State-Wide Importance Legislature Creates Four New Judicial Districts, and Passes Park Bill. Road Bond Issue Is Passed In A Hurry Many Other Important Bills Passed Or In The Hopper For Quick Action. (By M. L. Shipman) Raleigh, February 28.—Outstand ing legislative accomplishments dur ing the we5k was approved by both branches the State-wide game bill, the Smith-Hargett highway bill, the creation of four additional judicial: districts, final enactment of the Great: Smoky Park proposal, bill requiring vehicles driven trr operated upon the highways of the State to carry light at night, provide for the construction of a bridge across the Cape Fear at Wilmington, change date of motor j vehicle license from June 30 to De- j cember 31, bill to prohibit the lending : of money to bank examiners by State j hanks and tentative acceptance of the j revenue bill, the machinery act and j appropriation bill. The Australian j Ballot bill met with ignominious de- j feat in the House and will not be re- j vived again during the session, for that body applied a clincher which prevents, under the rules, considers- j tion of any bill of State-wide signifi cance containing the subject matter, of the Falls measure. More than a j score of representatives wanted their j counties exempted from the provisions j of the bill and in the melee which fol lowed a motion to table prevailed by a vote of 58 to 49. The Senate agrees to extend franchises to bus operators j from three to six years, but rejected J the request for permission for a 90 inch bus width proposed in the Wom ble bill. A spirited fight occurred in the t Hou6e on the $30,000,000 Highway Commission bond issue endorsed by Governor McLean, but it went through with a whoop on call of the roll. Rep resentative Folger, of Surry, offered an amendment reducing the amount to $24,000,000, while Graham, of Or ange, wanted only , $20,000,000 and called to the attention of the House the fact that the State debt is rapidly approaching its constitutional limita tions, the session having started out facing a bonded indebtedness of $143, 000,000, to which has been added $5, 000,000 for permanent improvements; $2,000,000 for the Great Smoky Moun tain park, and one million and a quar ter for a Cape Fear bridge. Another 480,000,000 would bring the total to $181,250,000. Proponents argued that many counties that had loaned money to the State Highway Commission could not be reimbursed if the amount should be reduced without retarding the road building program and county interests walked away with the com mittee bill on its second and decisive reading by a vote of 99 to 12. And the Senate heartily concurs. The Smith-Hargett highway bill relative to the location of roads, as amended ?n the Senate and slightly in the House, was piloted through the latter body by Pete Murphy by a vote of 78 to 34. The proposed $30,000,000 of highway bonds is expected to com plete the program of the construction of around 5,000 miles of hardsurfaced highways and to repay “in the neigh borhood” of $17,000,000 of county loans. Only ten of the 109 House members voting had their names recorded against the bill carrying appropria tion of $2,000,000 worth of bonds of the State for purchase of lands in the North Carolina and Tennessee moun tains upon which the Federal govern ment may establish the Great Smoky Mountain Park. Western senators and representatives supported whole heartedly by their constituents voted solidly for the measure. If the House agrees to the bill of Senator Horton, of Chatham, Confed erate soldiers and widows will receive the following pensions: Blind and maimed $420 annually; disabled, $365; blind widows, $300; other widows, $100; ten old servants, $200. The to tal pension fund under the Horton bill would be $1,500,000 instead of firm* if* Nervous hot flashes "COME time ago whan in a ** very nervous, run-down condition,” says Mrs. Martha F.

For the past ! biennium it has'been one million. An other bill of the Chatham Senator ! which the House will be called upon ! to okeh would place the names of 1 candidates for congress on the State ballot. The House has passed the revenue act on its final reading and the Sen ate must do likewise within the next few days if the Assembly expects to complete its task by the end of the week, the date fixed by many members for final adjournment. A number of important amendments have been written into the committee bill which the Senate will be asked to reject. One of these is the provision Imposing a $100,000 privilege tax upon manu-, facturers of cigarettes and tobacco, included in the original bill and cut out in committee. Another would re quire railroads to pay a franchise tax of $100,000 in addition to present re quirement; chain stores are required in still another amendment to “come across” with $100 each when there are six or more operated by one con cern, and non-resident contractors, who hid on contracts in this State, are to be required to pay a license of $100. A stubborn fight on these amendments to the bill of the joint committee on finance is expected in the Senate. j Proponents of the Poole anti-evolu tion resolution have abandoned the fight for the present and the matter will not be brought up again during the session, while the Sedberry bill making it unlawful to seize liquor cars was killed in the House commit tee on propositions and grievances. | Hundreds of new laws found their way to the statute books during the week.
