MEASURE Attorney General Manning Will Sub hilt Matter to Courts For Final De cision. Raleigh. Aug. 3. —Constitutionality of the Bowie act, authorizing a ten-million dollar bond issue for a railroad line into the “Lost Provinces.” will be determined in a test ease and not as the result of any overt opposition from the attorney general. This was made clear today by Attor ney General James S. Manning, who had been quoted, in a Rp,'eigh newspaper as ready to take up ft 's against the act. The agreement ' reached sev eral months ago to SP A 1 .7t<r ip COU, ‘T S *° determine its oonerifwWh ';y, and there has been no change in flic plans, Judge Manning said. At the tiinh of the agreement it was understood, and the State treasurer duly notified, that no sale of bonds for the road should be made until the question of constitutionality had been submitted to the courts. Under the provisions of the measure the State has financed the survey of,the proposed routes, which has been completed. Bowie Is Satisfied. Representative Tam C. Bowie, of Ashe county, father of the act, litis expressed satisfaction that the courts will find the measure constitutional. He said that question had been thoroughly studied by able lawyers before the bill was intro duced and that qualified legal opinion placed an o. k. on it. Attacks on its constitutionality which were made when the 1023 legislature was considering it anil several times since then, are based on the following provi sion of the constitution, found in ar ticle 5. section 4: ‘(And the General Assembly shall have no power to give or lend the credit of the State in aid of any person, associa tion or corporation, except to aid in the completion of such, railroads as may be finished at the time of the adontion of this constitution ore in which the state has a direct pecuniary interest unless the subject be submitted to a direct vote of the neople of the state, and bo an oroved by a majority of those who shall vote thereon.” The Bowie act was passed by the leg islature without resort to referendum. Supporters of the measure contended that the execution of a nroposition “in which the State has a direct pecuniary interest” furnishes the authorization for the legislature’s action. Attack Bowie Act. In the attack on the Bowie act, an effort also was made to challenge thf constitutionality of the proposed port de velopment. unless it should be submitter to a vote of the people. Judge Manning said, however, that a referendum is noi necessary to insure the constitutionality of the contemplated port measure. That a severe fight will be made m the General Assembly to repeal the Bowie act seems certain with tire announce ment of Representative TV. H. S. Bur srwvn that he will introduce a repealer bill and the development of an organized move to support him. However. Mr. Bowie has an effective group of support ers standing with him, and any attempt to kill his measure will precipitate a whale of a row. Davidson Mourns Death of I)r. Hill.!
