The Kinston group has, if it ev er occupied such a position, vacated! it by saying: “Whereas, the recent North Caro lina legislature increased taxes to a new and record high, and “Whereas, ten bond issues total ling over sixty million dollars are to be put to a vote of the people on November 7, 1961, and “Whereas, all of these bond will have to be paid out of tax revenues to be collected in the future, ex cept the port improvement bonds which are to be self-liquidating, and “Whereas ,the Kinston Jaycees feel that Although These Expendi tures Contain Merit, That they should be financed on a pay as you “Now, therefore, the Kinston Jay cee» resolve that the State Port Improvements bond issue (in the amount of $13,500,000) would be passed and the balances of the is sues should' be defeated.” This is the first organization in Lenoir or adjoining counties to formally go on record in opposition to the major parts of the proposed 10 bo’nd issues. State Jaycee officials have ex pressed considerable alarm at the conservative action of the Kinston dub but that is about all they can do under the rules 6f the organiza tion.
