In The General Assembly
By CLIFF BLUE
Hearings. . . Hearings started
in the joint House and Senate
Appropriations cominittee on
Tuesday.
At these hearings the various
state departments and divisions
come before the committee and
state their financial needs. These
hearings are somewhat of a re
play ^of the hearings conducted
last fall by the Advisory Budget
Commission. The Advisory Bud
get Commission has submitted its
recommended Appropriations
Bill and in it many divisions and
departments did not get as much
as they asked for. At these hear
ings now being held the Appro
priations committee itself will
decide and make its recommen
dations to the full House and
Senate.
Intangible Tax . . .For years
many of the Moore County lead
ers have felt that the intangible
tax is a great detriment to the
state and particularly Moore
County. They say that the state
would gain far more in inheri
tance taxes than they receive in
the tax on intangibles if the lat
ter were not on the books.
Since the tax plan is being
given serious study with the
thought in mind of overhauling
it and since the Tax Study Com
mission has recommended that
the towns and counties keep aU
the intangible tax revenue we
checked into the possibility of a
provision permitting the counties
and cities to levy the tax or not
levy it as appeared best for each
particular county and city. How
ever, Edwin GiU, State Treasur
er, tells us that to do this would
require, an amendment to the
State Constitution.
Lawrence Johnson. . . . Law
rence Johnson' of Aberdeen was
a visitor in Raleigh Tuesday. He
sat in on the Appropriations
committee meeting for a while
near the close of the session.
Water. . . Oh Monday we at
tended a meeting of the State
Water Board and Advisory Com
mittee. North Carolina with an
average rainfall of 48 inches has
a bountiful supply of water, yet
too often we are faced with
water shortages. The State is be
ginning to see the handwriting
on. the wall and is trying to get
something done before it is too
late. It was decided on Monday
to hold meetings in each of the
100 counties and get the water
problems from the people in all
walks of life.

lieve the problem of droughts on
the farm is also creating prob
lems in some places. Water taken
fi'om streams for irrigation is not
returned to the stream as it is aU
taken by evaporation or trans
piration. Some irrigation systems
use more water than the streams
from which they draw water,
produce. Water is truly a grow
ing problem aU over the state.
