Budget Calls For Record Expenditures Raleigh, Jan. 15—The second week of the General Assembly saw the introduction of the first of the so-called liquor referendum bills, and heard a record-breaking bien nial budget report. Budget bills presented to the 1949 session of North Carolina's legisla ture Thursday call for the spend ing of $446,929,466 for the two years beginning July 1. The budget, accompanied by a -message from Governor Scott, top ped by nearly $100,000,000 the amount appropriated by the 1947 general assembly, which also was a record breaking figure. Scott expressed general approval of the hills, but warned that an at tempt to increase the figures in the budgets would require new taxes. A liquor referendum bill came into the Senate Friday morning. Senator George T. Penny of Guil ford introduced a measure which, if passed, would call for a state wide liquor referendum November 1. Voters would go whole hog, mak ing the state entirely wet or en tirely dry; no room was left for local option. The bill also would al low the manufacture Of liquor, wine and beer under the state control in every county. Recommendations in the huge budget included salary increases of about 20 per cent for school teach ers and state employes retroactive to last November 1; expansions of mental and tubercular hospital faci lities; $1 million self-supporting dental school at Chapel Hill. Also $27,500,000 annually for construction of county roads and highways; retention of the S31 mil lion postwar reserve fund; a $550, 000 a year school health program; increases in welfare grants; and al location of $71,800,234 of the gen eral fund surplus for permanent im provements.

The commission rid not recom mend a minimum salary of $2,400 for A-certificate teachers, as re- ; quested by the State Board of Educa- j tion and supported by Governor j Scott. The report recommended total ap propriations cf $167,521,527 to run schools during the 1949-51 biennium, compared with $128,5S3,546 being spent in the two years ending next July 1. The Board of Education had; asked appropriations totaling $220,522,670. ' I Funds recommended for teachers' j salaries for 1949-51 would be; $134,006,146, compared with $102.-i 47-3,531 for the current biennium. j The Board of Education's request \ was $181,398,168. The commission proposed a1 $7,587,000 appropriation to provide j pay boosts, retroactive to Novem- j ber 1, for the rest of this biennum. i I It suggested increases 'on the same ; basis" for 1949-51. The scale would be left to the Board of Education. j A commission members said the | appropriation recommended would | be sufficient to increase the average I teacher salary to almost $2,400. He ' emphasized this would be an aver age, not a minimum salary. The; average salary now is $1,943 a year, j In other recommendations, the j budget commission advised against State aid to counties in school con struction, for which the Board of i Education nad requested $hO,UUO, U00, and against State assumption of the original cost in buying school buses. (Counties now make the orig inal purchases and the State buys replacements). It recommended a child health program in the schools and sug- j gested an appropriation of $550,000 a year to finance it. The report also proposed funds to reduce the teacher 1'ad—$2,000, 000 for the first year of the bien nium and $2,050,000 the second year. This would permit employ ment of 833 more teachers, on the basis of an average salary of $2,400 a year. The commission pointed out that the "greater part of the increases in appropriations recommended over' the present fiscal year of 1948-49 is for public schools." ^farah _/Inn's CooKirtg Class Let's begin this year with a page of old, tried and true kitchen hints.
