ROAD BODY IS AUTHORIZED IX) ADJUST CLAIMS Reorganized State Highway] Commission To Decide Amount of Payments Counties all over North Carolina will receive the news that House Bill 771 passed which authorises the new highway commission to adiust claims which certain counties have against the state for roads construct ed prior to the state taking over the system with a great deal of enthus iasm. according to a statement made by N G. Bartlett. secretary of the Eastern Carolina Chamber of Com merce. one of the spunaors of the program. "It has been a long-drawn out proposition, but now that the machinery has been set up for the settlement of these claims by the state for the various < is no need for much stated Mr Bartlett. The 1935 General Assembly | an act which directed the governor to appoint a fact-finding commis sion to receive the riaans of the var ious counties and to srmbiv as to what should be done j This commission was appointed by Governor Ehringhaus and held hear ings at Asheville and Raleigh during the past year and heard the argu ments of the various claimant coun-, ties. The commission made its re port to the governor and General Assembly about the middlr of Feb ruary this year Six of the mem bers of the nine stated that they felt like there was some merit m the' claims but that thry did not feel that they had had sufficient time to determine the exact amounts, but suggested that the mattr be leferied to the incoming highway non with power to act. Three of the j members of the commission of i made a ^minority report ? they said several of the were entitled to definite ; did not see fit to designate the a mounts that each county was en titled to. It a-as no surprise that the thonties were not satisfied with 1 type of report and so. with the as-1 sistance of Governor lioey membci s at the House and Se House Bill 771 ws diaun up passed by both houses at the Gen- { eral Assembly.

Efforts will be made to have the county com winners support the clinic by em ploying a health nurse to head the work, but there is doubt if the au thorities will sponsor the undertak [ since it could hardly be directed by State Board of Health authon Appealing to the State Board of Health to direct the pre school cliii ICS. Superintendent J. C. Manning was advised this week that all avail able nurses were now occupied as-l sating newly organized full-time county health departments in the handling of the clinics. Clinics held in this county during the past few years have meant much to children entering school for the first time. The little tots were vaccinated, and physical defects found by the examination were cor rected in a majority of the cases. Whether parent-teacher organize lions would attempt or could spon r the pre school clinics in the county this year could not be learn ed. The time for handling the work is limited, and if anything is done necessary arrangements will have So be made immediately.
