To start . things off“ Senator Junius Powell of Columbus and 37 other members of the upiper house co-signed a bill handing cities another $5,000,000 for street building. ~ "T"™' The bill calls for the money to come from money on hand in the highway fund and is in addition to the $2,500,000 recemended for city streets by the Advisory Bud get Commission. This move was considered a slap a5 Governor Scott who has told the League (f Municipalities that he is opposed to the grant ing: of new funds without new in come. The League was expected to have a bill introduced calling for ‘ an exitra one-half cent gas oline tax and upping of the license fee by $5. This would bring in an estimated eight to ten million dollars, which is wllat the gover nor and highway estimators figure it would cost the state a year to assume full responsibility for city street .paving and upkeep. It tvas rumored around Raleigh this weekend, however, that the victory was not as dearcul as it might apptear—with 38 signers. Some senators reportedly were considering withdrawing t h e i r names from the bill. Others said that as Car as they were concerned their signing the hill had nothing to do with 'he governor's aiprprova.1 or disapproval- -they Just don’t want tiny mtore taxes. But unless somebody does some tall switch ins around* it seems self-evident that the new taxes will not be passed- -perhaps such a bill will ifot even be introduced. Ironically, the League of Muni cipalities will be getting exactly what it wanted to ask for in the first place. League leaders figured they could ask for $5,000,000 this time and come back for a “second helping'.’ in 1953. Governor Sdott, however, told them to take a shot at .the works if they wanted his support, maintaining that there would not be enough money to give more to the cities if addition* al revenue was not forthcoming. He pointed out the needs for re working the State's badly-deter iorating primary road system, particularly In the expensive and much-needed realm of ^bridge widening. -But the no-tax bay* seem to have won the first round, at any* , rate. -o——— On the State Fair Coliseum front, the fighting went a little differently. Approval o1 continua tion of the $1,347,000 building was generally termed an administra- j tion victory. But when you consider the out that the special legislative com mittee took, this might not ap pear to be so. The committee re commended that the building go (Continued on Page 8> School Groups Get Board Word On Fund Diversion Hillsboro — School committee men from Efland, Aycock and Caldwell, expressing concern over “rumors" <hat school bond money would not be spent as promised during the campaign for the bond issue., defended, pn .the Board,}*.

He was assured that the Board had every intention of carrying "out'the committments made dur ing the campaign but members of the Board said they were not will ing to sign any statement to that effect. To provide further assur- 1 ance, the Board, upon motion of Member Charles Stanford, unani mously aipproved the following motion: “That the board proceed with the completion of the build ing program as outlined in the bond issue campaign (to the ex tent of funds indicated) a9 rapid ly as possible and request fhe Board of Commissioners to make the funds specified in me bond issue available for these prelects." ■nife proposed program included grounds and building for ■Band Keg* School, grounds and build ing for addition at HUtsbote, lunchrooms at West Hillsboro, *f Isnd, Aycock a»d White Cross, auditoriums at Canboro and CaJd weH and a gymnasium at Aycock Another delegation, from the Cedar Grove Negro School, was assured that contract had been let for their new building concrete footings had been poured already for the new building.
