SEELEY Carteret Representative The Appropriation ..Committee Tuesday and Wednesday continu ed to pare down the Budget Com mission's recommendations in hope that Highway Diversion may be smaller than the seven million dollars planned for. It will take ten days to find out just what can be done and it will possibly be three weeks before appropriations are fixed. The Finance Commit tee has numerous matters looking to new taxes but so far has found nothing that can be taxed as it would seem that we have reached the end of any possible additional taxes. Highway Diversion has devel oped a real fight, but many mem bers feel that there is no way to avoid diversion without cutting off schools, welfare, universities and other agencies which would put back the clock many years. I have as yet no Carteret bills. Our friends from Harkers Island have not sent forward their peti tion to incorporate, but probably will before the close of this ses sion. Atlantic Beach is asking to change the charter so that they may raise revenue for streets and sidewalk building and mainte nance. The Appropriations Committee is up against a very serious situa tion.
