(By the Associated l*re**l Raleigh. Aug. 18.—With the prospects of being able to finish their work by the end of this week ft agreement onn be | had to let local legislation go over un til January, the North Carolina General Assembly today was in recess until 8:30 o’clock tonight. At that hour the House of Representatives was to receive the port commission bill from the Senate, nnd was expected to pass and send to the upper house the constitutional amend ment relating to sinking funds for state road bonds. The port measure was expected to be j referred to a House committee tonight, nnd to be back in that body for second 1 reading on Wednesday. It is thought likely by leaders that there will be com-, pnratively little debate in the lower; house, and that more than likely the measure, with the clause referring 'it to the voters' at the November election, will be finally disponed of on Thursday. The Senate was expected to receive the sinking fund amendment tomorrow and to give it its final reading on Thursday. In view of the fact that the matters for which the extra session was called will be disposed of this week, leaders to day thought it probable that some kind of an agreement could be reached to ad journ at the end of this week. It had been thought, since the assembly started, that there was hardly any possibility of adjournment before the end of next week, and there still was a possibility, it was said, that the full 20 days might be use 1.
