Umstead in a meet nng with the County Board Monday morning. Rep. L'msteau notified the; Board that its previously-re-. quested enabling act to pi—,J~ *— a limitation of no more County Commissioners from any one", township in Orange had been described as unconstitutional by the Office of the Attorney General Both lie and Sen. Lanier, meeting with the Commissioners in Hills boro then recommended* that the districting of the County for elec tion of both the County School Board and Commissioners Board membership be considered. It approved by the Commission ers, the legislators would, then in troduce this'measure for approval i.i ilie i General Assembly. Com missioner Donald Stanford of*Chap el Hill, noting his opposition to the hill as originally proposed or as proposed by distrfptMfftw* «Ifee licn ot County Commissioners), suggested that a new public hear ing on the matter* might be in order. I he County Commissioners convened for the purpose of act ing as a Board of Equalization and Review on property valua tion appeals. But they discussed the limitation bill and several other matters before going into their session as a Review Bo«rd. f No action was taken on the limitation proposal. Mr. Umstead said Mr. Bruton .doner - that he had turned over their request for the limitation bill to the Attorney General’s staff lor preparation in legislative form. He said that Wade Bruton of the At torney General's staff told him that llic proposal was unconstitu tional, and that while it could be drawn up and probably passed, it "wouldn't be worth the paper it was written on" if it were con tested. - Already In Soma Countiaa Mr. Umstead said Mr. Burton noted that six 01 seven counties in the| state already had such a .set-up for their County Boards, hut that no orie had contested the j‘ arrangements in these, cases. At j the present time there are about . 15 Counties in the state ‘which elect their commissioners from district.. according to Mr. Umstead. Ha suggested that the five i commissioners be elected from districts composed of one or more townships, but that they be 1 voted upon on • county-wide basis.

Sunday racing in Orange Coun ty has recently been the target of strong opposition from members of the North Orange Ministerial Association. whdfce . spokesmen have called upon the legislators and the commissioners to take steps which would bail it from the county. Establishment of the amateur Jalopy racing at a hastily con structed track near the Baptist Gospel Tabernacle on the Orange Grove Road was bitterly denounced by the pastor, the Rev. W. I. Con way, many of his membership, and residents of the area last summer and resulted in the formation of the Orange County Anti-Racing As sociation, which spearheaded the circulation of a petition seeking legislative action in their behalf. Recently, a delegation of the minister's group asked Mr. Urn stead to introduce a bill in the. legislature outlawing the Sunday races. Mr. Umstead said he would introduce no local bills unless they came from same Ideal governing body, or here requested by citi M*- ' VheWttfbn. t fi fe delegation went before the Conn ty Commissioners at the previous meeting, renewed their request and at least two of the three mem bers present said they considered the matter outside their purview and the board took no action on the request. At Monday’s meeting, however. Senator Lanier revealed he had been given a petition bearing some 800 names qppoilrfg Sunday rac ing in the county and that he was. “committed to helping those peo ple get some relief' from the rac ing nuisance, which he recalled had disturbed worship services and created hazards on the highways in the area. He said he had heard' no pro tects about the operation of Or ange Speedway, just the Jalopy Race track; that he had considered a bill which would ban the races West of. Highwy 80 as a device to eliminatethe Jalopy Track only? but abandoned it because of its obvious unconstitutionality; and that he had next thought of a bill (See HACKS.

Umstaad Jr. Last week saw much activity in ' legislative circles, especially in the matter of introduction of bills. Al ready this session is far ahead of I the 1955 session in thL respeet. On Friday alone there were 40 mea sures introduced. This is partially due to the fact that the members 'of both bodies seem to be comply | ing with the request of the Presi dent of the Senate and the Speak dr of the House that they* get ail 'local bills in the hopper as early | as possible so that they might have due consideration. Okay Reorganization During the week the first of the Governor’s reorganization bills was enacted into law. This was the bill reorganizing the Highway Commit. | i sion which was discussed previous ly ,in these columns. Before its final passage, however, there was' deleted from thedjill the provisions covering political activity by those^ ' employed by the commission. I I This was dona by tha Senate9 with the promise that a bill cov ering the political activity of all j state employees would bo intro duced. Such a bill has been pro- I sented but it seems to have little | force and no tooth" at ilfT 1 It is hoped that the reorganized Highway Commission w ill provide; us with a real statewide highway I program that will give due consid eration to the future needs of an J ever expanding r o a d . mileage Transportation facilitie? are" the' most' important feature"!)!

I Garbage Dumping Plan Is Proposed To Board R. Hume Claytor. district health department sanitarian, recommerifl ' ed to the County Commissioner! Monday morning that they obtain | legislative authority and establish , ‘'about three” centralized dump | ing places in the county to elimi 1 nate the promiscuous dumping now being practiced. He said he had counted at least : 22 places in the county that were rapidly becoming major eyesores ' because of the practice. He said the people on the I fringes of towns were going into the country to dump garbage and people in the country were going j farther into the country. He said there was ample author! | t.v for punishment of persons ' caught dumping garbage alongside ; tire highways but" said some of ficial places should be provided j which would encourage persons not to break the law. _ The commissioners took Clay tor's suggestion Snider advisement and asked him to compile data on similar local acts now in force in some other counties in this field. Claytor told the CommissRmeri he would like, to see a slogan Fires Destroy Two Places In This Area ' The Hillsboro Fire Department i.usW'Cred tjui caits tor 'fire over Die past weekend.;but both places were • completely lost and causes ■ere undetermined. - On Saturday at noon Coy Me lt room's workshop on Highway 57 crottnd 4 miles from Hillsboro burn ed along with around $500 worth of tools and antiques lie was work ing on.
