Legislative Summary Of Week. By Vt. R. Ounnagan, Star News Bureau) Raleigh, April 17.—The house of representatives of the N. C. gener al assembly' .after eliminating Ar ticle 5 of the revenue bill, the three per cent general sales tax, by a 63 to 50 vote .and refusing, 65 to 36, to insert in its stead the Neman selected commodity sales tax, di rected the finance committee to re write that article and bring It back io the house Tuesday night, until which lime the house practically adjourned for the Easter week-end. With its action in turning down both forms of sales tax, the com modity form more decisively than the general form, the house and senate moved up certainly another week, possibly two weeks longer, ad journment of the general assembly. But, before another week Is gone, that body is expected to adopt a general sales tax, possibly modified some, and possibly including some parts of the selected commodity tax but to adopt it. in any event, its adoption seems assured, for if the house fails to include it in the bill going over to the senate, the latter body is expected to Insert it and send it back to the house, with some other eliminations from the present house measure. The present house revenue bill is about $8,000,000 a year short of Producing a balanced budget, on 'he basis of the appropriations bill, already passed by both houses, laree increases were made, one taxing the stock in foreign corpor ations. tiie other a one-half mill P'r kiiowatt hour on electric pow er and tne third on corporate fran c* taes.

Bank R. F. C. Examiners At Union Trust Reorganization Plans For Firs\ National And Union Trust Co. Moving Along. Interest centers in the meeting of depositors and stockholders of the First National bank to be held in the bank on Wednesday after noon at 2 o’clock. At this meeting the depositors and stockholders will decide wheth er they wish to meet the require ments for opening the bank as out lined by the bank examiner Mr. Wood. It will be recalled that de positors are asked to waive their claim to twenty per cent of the de posits and accept in lieu thereof certificates allowing them to share pro rata in the amount collected on notes charged off by the examiner as unfit paper for the bank to par ry as liquid assets. It is felt that much of this money, however, can be collected. r. «. Dana nan iteviewea Stockholders are asked to pay In to the banking institution $40 per share on each share of stock now held by them. The depositors’ wai ver is calculated to reduce the de posit liability of the bank $270,000, while the stockholders' assessment will raise $100,000. An effort is be ing made to get the Reconstruction Finance corporation to take $250, 000 preferred stock in the bank, while the examiner decided that C. C. Blanton, George Blanton and Forrest Eskridge take over the bank’s real estate holdings as of the time the bank holiday was de clared, together with some stock held by the bank as collateral and give the bank their note for $300, 000 with ample security on this and their other valuable real es tate. Should this plan be carried through the bank would have a capital of $250,000, a surplus of $250,000 and an undivide dprofit of $50,000, with the government, the Blanton interests, depositors and stockholders all having a hand in the reopening of the bank on an unrestricted basis. When the bank opens on this plan, depositors would have immediately available eighty percent of their deposits to be used as they see fit. C. R. Hoey and O. Max Gardner who were in Richmond, Va., and Washington, D. C. last week got the approval of the Federal Reserve and the comptroller of the cur rency on this plan but certain de tails are being worked out with the Reconstruction Finance corporation in the matter of the preferred stock. Some delay has been occasioned by the Easter holidays when Washing ton offices were closed. Mr. Cecil Mariner representing the Reconstruction Finance cor poration arrived today to make an appraisal of the Union’s assets in connection with the preferred stock which tha R. F. C. will take in the instituion. A state bank ex aminer checked the affairs of the bank about two weeks ago and out lined a plan of reorganization whereby the depositors would be asked to loan one-hal? of their de posits to the stockholders, accept ing as collateral the assigned stock of the stockholders. Splendid co operation on the part of the depos itors and stockholders has been made with reference to the Union, but several details remain to be worked out before the re-organiza tion can be perfected. The out come of the appraisal by the R. F. C. is being awaited with interest as there will be few details to work out after this is done before the bank can re-open on an unrestrict ed basis.

Blanton, chairman of the county board of commissioners an nounced Saturday that the three percent tax penalty which was to go Into effect today will be waived until May 1st. In other words those who have not as yet paid their 1932 taxes will be allowed to pay with j only a two per cent penalty Instead of the three per cent imposed by law in the discretion of the board. Saturday was a good day for col lecting taxes. Mr. Blanton says fully $2,400 was paid an the office of Sheriff Cline and this is a good day considering the fact that the banks are still operating under restric tions with something over three million ‘dollars tie^ up. Mr. Blanton says the increase to three per cent in. tire penalty will be waived until May 1st in the hope that the banks will be open and operating unrestricted by that time.
