Relief Funds Was temporarily Suspended ELECTRIC RATES LOWERED By M. R. DUNNAGAN j RALEIGH, Dec. 20 Governor elect Ehringhaus realizes that the most important problem before him and the 1933 General Assembly is the State's troublesome financial stat us and will devote his time and best energies toward getting the problem on its way t osolution before he will give much thought to lesser consid erations, among which he includes apponitments to various State offices. His attitude, apparently is that he will let things continue as they are in most places, and fill only " such places as are pressing, until the ma jor problem has been at least parti kNy solved. His view is not htat of avoiding unpleasant responsibilities, but placing first things first, and hand ling the others as their importance demand. Apparently few appoint ments that will wait are to be made before the General Assembly ses sion ends, except those which the Senate must confirm, and those Which demand earlier attention. The Budget report, with its reve nue and appropriation bills, have been gone over carefully in all the meetings by Mr. Ehringhaus. He has been a sort of "unofficial observer." He followed the development of that document carefully, but is not com mitted to it as it will emerge from the Advisory Budget Commission. He may approve it 'entirely, in part, or may scrap it entirely, as is within his province and authority. He will con sider it with sincerity, smypathy and with understanding and courage. That much may be accepted as certain. Savings of $1,107,000 to mora than 100,000 families and firms at a cost of not more than $5,000 has been a- chieved in electric rates as a result of the conference an dorders of the N. C. Corporation Commission, Dr, Charles E. Waddell, engineering spec ialist, states in his report of his part of the activities. . . Dr. Waddell has compiled an ex haustive report and includes in it several recommendations that have developed as a result of his studies during the past several weeks. Uriel ly, these include authority to 'pass upon stocks and bonds in relation to fixing rates; authority to control fees ani contracts between holder and other firms and the operating firms; methods of fixing true plant values 'of properties as they relate to rates; clarifying present statues on valua tions; determine capital corrections from year to year; require munici pal plants to report same as private . utilities; revision of statues pertain' ing to the N.

DUNNAGAN RALEIGH, Dec. 20 Brisk sale of hunting licenses this fall give State game officials hope tha tthe receipts from this sport will be larger than the past season, which was consider ably off from the year before. Total State, income from hunting licenses the past year was only $128,913, and $2,605 from fur dealers, as compar ed with receipts of $177,100.(8, and $3,085 from fur dealers the year be fore. Hunting licenses the past seas on were: county 59,511, State-wide 18,700 and non-resident 672, as com pared the license the previous seas on, issued as follows: county 82,291, State-wide 24,682, and 1,077 non resident. Carteret county showed receipts of $749.00 from sales of hunting li censes last year and nothing from fur dealers. The county licenses is sued numbers 184, the State-wide li censes 27, and 32 non-resident licen ses the past year.

But there werel iterally hundreds of other items, such as fur niture, bed requirements, household articles, socks, stockings, underwear overalls, pottery, mirrors and many others disrtibuted. While Governor Gardner was the honor guest, several leading btate officials and educators were present with the newspaper folks who staged the event. Though with its serious side, there was much fun, such as a "lieing contest," won by Tom Bost; a crowing contest, won by Lie.ut Gov. -elect A. H. Graham, over the pres ent and next Governor, antiphonal singing, and .-ethers: ".-- Dean I. O. Schaub, State College, and Mrs. Jane McKimmon, State home agent, told of the extent of the live-at-home idea among men and women; Governor Gardner spoke in terms of thanks to the press, pulpit, educational leaders and farm and home agents in promoting the idea; Governor-elect Ehringhaus promised to carry on such a worthy and valu able undertaking; Dr. E C. Brooks, State College, told of the value of training to reach the results. It was undoubtedly a great party, and John A. Park, instigator and presider, was warmly lauded. The Advisory Budget Commission, composed of Governor Gardner, di rector of the Budget, as chairman, the chairman of the appropriations and finance committees of House and Senate and two members at large, has completed its work to the point' of having the Budget report written by experts and submitted to. the commission at a later meeting for a doption.
