MRS. MARY FAY BRUMBY, Cherokee County Represen
tative, takes time from her busy schedule to confer with
House Speaker Pat Taylor on legislative matters.
The Nos And Ayes
Of The House
By Mrs. Mary Faye Brumby
RALEIGH - This has been
a most Interesting week in the
General Assembly as action is
moving at a very fast pace.
On Thursday, only eight
days after the start of the
Session, for example, Lt. Gov
ernor Bob Scott completed
the naming of all his com
mittees in the Senate; and yet,
even before that, the Senate
Insurance Committee had al
ready held two public hearings
on the State's Automobile Lia
bility Insurance Laws.
In the House, we are also
moving rapidly, and the line
up of committee chairmen is
almost completed. It has been
my good fortune to land on sev
eral of the more important
committees: Finance; Edu
cation; Elections and Elec
tion Laws; Journal; Enrolled
Bills and House Expenditures;
Water Resources and Control;
Conservation and Develop
ment; and Library.
Two bills which I have sign
ed are: "To make Charlotte
College a campus of the Uni
versity of North Carolina";
and "The $300,000,000 Road
Bond Issue."
This Bond Issue, of course
will come before the people of
the whole state for a vote and
of course, may be amended in
committees. As you may al
ready know, Cherokee County
will get 9881,000. Andrews will
get ) 55,100 and Murphy will
get $87,600. Naturally, I
should have preferred to have
seen more money allocated for
rural secondary roads. This
view is held by the majority
of the Legislators from the
western part of the state; how
ever, it seems to me that if
we can build roads without
raising taxes, then I am all
for it. It will surely mean
roads for many people in
North Carolina and quite a few
for us, too, I hope.
As many of you know, it
costs anywhere from four to
ten times as much to build a
mile of road in Cherokee
County as it does to build a
road in flat country. Yet, this
factor is not being given
enough consideration accord
ing to my way of thinking. I
was taped on six radio stations
this week a saying so. I am
very much in favor of Gover
nor Moore's program as a
whole; but I feel that the only
way that we here in the moun
tains will ever get our roads
paved is to let people know
when we think that we are
not getting our due share.
Let me say that I have not
had time to study this bill
fully. I want to make it clear
that I am in agreement with the
principles of the bill; that is,
that a great deal of "immed
iate" road money is urgently
