Has Funds in Hand
North Carolina has a bill of $6,-
773,437.50 in bonds and interest on
j bonds to pay January 1, but Governor
I and State Treasurer are pleased that
I they have the money in the treas-
I ury to meet the bill and on time.
There have been times in the past
few years when the officials did not
know ho\^ to meet the semi-annual
bond and interest bills and at the
same time pay the current operating
expenses of the State and its activi
ties. January and February are us-
ually lean tax months, and the teach
er salary bill which must be met each
month is a huge recent addition to
payments. However, these, too, will
be met.
The bonds which will be retired
January 1 amount to $3,358,000,
which include $2,633,000 in highway
bonds and $50,000 in bridge bonds;
$875,000 in special school building
bonds. Interest to be paid amount.s
to $3,215,437.50, on bonds outstand
ing, going as follows: $2,181,440, high
way; $35,062.50, bridges; $10,000,
World War veterans loan fund; $82,-
460, general fund; $296,475, special
school building bonds. The bulk of
the total, $1,814,440, comes from the
highway fund.

Mr. Maxwell issue a solemn warn
ing that no one, two or more days ot
grace will be allowed. A few days
were usually allowed prior to last
year, but that leeway was suspended
and motorists were required to have
their licenses on the first. That will
be the requirement aga:n this year,
the commissioner states. He urges
the owners to get their licenses as
soon as possible, so as to prevent the
usual last-minute rusn. as a result
of which they often have to stand in
