: Report ruiii Is Sounding Out
the Situati 'ii.
Raleigh, May 2-j.—''overnor
Morrison today addressed letters i
|
to all members of the general |
assembely asking them to give'
| serious consideration to the re-'
i port of the Ship and Water
! Transportation commission and
I let him know what they "think
! about it."
. i
W hat the legislators think about
'it will have greater influence with
the governor than anything else, j
A special session of the legi- j
slature depends upon it. He is ex
tremely hopeful that they will 1
agree with him as to the import
ance or the program proposed by '
the commission p.r.d the im
! perativeness of immediate action.
Local opinion is that the special
session is definite on the program
; for the capital's summer season.
There are proponents and oppo
nents of the meeting, but the
governor has declared his purpose'
, not to be influenced by opposition,
and if enough members of the
: general assembly will write
1 encouragingly and the council of
j state will concur the call will go
forth before many weeks have!
■ passed.
SENATOR BROWN'S
POSITION.
I
Members of the Ship and Water
!Transportation commission are,
reported as favorable to the idea
of a special session. Senator Joe j
A. Brown, who led the opposition
to the governor's 01 initial pro
p in the 1 _  legislature,and
1 wh\ artvr spending i"> month*
st 1 lying water commerce prob
lems as a member of the com
mission, is strong; t the prog- °.m
recommended, thinks tr.-j ? .->iun
is imperative.
Public interest in the develop
ment of water transportation is
enthusiastic just, now, and the
governor realises that legislative
consideration of the uiogramj
with public attention so strongly i
attracted to it would prove of
. valuable assistance in getting its '
j adoption. To deluy until a regular
! session might result in the re
lapse of state-wide interest and
induce further procrastination.
In other words, his excellency,
who senses an opportunity, be
lieves in striking while the iron
is hot.
Three thousand copies of the
report will be distributed, and
, interested individuals desiring a
copy will receive one on makir g
application to the governor's
office. Copies will be forwarded
, within the next few days to
I newspapers and publications.
