While licjc Mr.. Phillips discussed |
with thi>' ISeiiort*'!* on ions legislation
now pending in the Ucncrul Assemb
ly of vit.al in'crc.st to Stakes county.
Several hjlls t->f interest. Mr- Phil,
lips .-ays. WERE introduced hi--*t WCCK
in ihe lower branch of the I.c;:is_
hitut'e including: one deducing the
marriage fee from s».oil to s3.nu
Thic- hill received the support of the
repis*.-etitative from Stokes. as did
Stiko>. is did the hill relieving con.
traoting parties in marriage to po-t
fi-day notice, or for necessity ol a
11hysician's cent ifieat e.
In the matter of "deficiency judg
ments" the House carried by a small
majority the question of relief to
buyers of land where a part of the
purchase price is paid, and later pi
case of foreclosure the tneptgagee - s
not enitjtled to judgment for balance
due on note othpn than the particular
proporty mortgaged. This, it is
deemed would encourage home,
ownership.
An item of interest to certain
individuals i.s a bill to r«du •'* the
cost of a trailer, carrying fa in pro.
dace .'it' iclu'd i" a pa.s-eiigcr car.
to a. fee of sl.iin. At. pre-cnt 1 ni

Auditorium in ll.iPj.h in behalf .1
education. Since the la cent ad Vl.
bc'eiii t \ is to he removed from pro.
Perly. and l int] is In lie revalued,
then th" all important question .s
just how the neccs.-wry funds for
education may be procured for the
State, lie .-ays the trend at present
is far a reduction of salaries on a
graduate scale, a possible change in
the set up of school administration,
and JI combination of certain instjtu.
tions Willi.'h at present may he doing
parallel work.
When the aprroxjmate amount of
•money needed by the State in tills
in.ar.ter is determined then the p;*-
lem of raising such funds will ho the'
next step. This will lead naturally
to the rather unwelcome idea of a'
•salas tax. Just what the out-come
in this line will be is rather proh.'
lennatieal but seems to quite a fe*.v
a# inesaapahk*.
lulls have been introduced reliev
ing tax payers of penalties on un.'
