Appropriations Lata Thursday afternoon, the Joint appropriations subcommittee : wound up its deliberations and announced that it would present its. report for full committee consideration early next week. While recommending that 17,' 315,778 be added to the budget and that retroactive pay increases for teachers and state employees be grant ed, the subcommittee propsed to bal ance the budget by using the $17.8 million "cushion", fund as well as other available surpluses. If these proposals go through, the principal meet debt service requirements on the $85 million bond proposals, assuming that theyjare approyed. ' Finance , There is no assurance that the bond program will be passed as irecomr mended by Governor Umstead. After the joint finance committee finished a second series of hearings on the $13 million state institution bond! issue, suggested amendments to all three bills were withdrawn to send the bills to the House floor for immediate con sideration. At the same itiane, three new bills proposing to submit the state institution bonds to the people and to meet mental institution needs through a combination of legislative and voter approved bonds were report ed without prejudice. On motion of committee chairman Rodman, all six bills were made a special order of business for Tuesday. Finance committee members also demonstrated that "holding ithe line" (Rodman announced (1) that 'the bud get can be balanced if present revenue laws are not tampered with and (2) that he .would, personally, introduce a bill calling for a study of the state tax structure and for recommendations to the 1955 General Assembly as to fair and equitable new sources of rev enue should new revenues be needed, the House committee let the axe fall freely, A full dozen measures, which would have reduced revenues, receiv ed unfavorable reports, but four more which did not materially affect reven ues came out with committee approv al. Two new bills of significance were SB 420, which would require electric membership corporations to pay the same state and local taxes now paid by private utilities, and HB 1145, which wouM reduce the per-machine tax on drink dispensing machines from $15 to $5. ' Propositions and Grievances In public session and by a convinc ing voice vote, the House committee on Counties, Cities and Towns gave an unfavorable report to HB 454, pro posing a state-wide referendum on the sale of liquor, beer and wine. Brief . discussion for and against local op tion preceded the final vote; six nega tive votes were formally recorded', but no minority report came out of the committee. 'A few hours later, a mo tion to recall itfhe bill from the unfav orable calendar was, beaten down in the House amid indications that dry sentiment was not organized to sup port the motion. Meanwhile, the Sen ate committee considering the same bill, undoubtedly influenced , by the! earlier House committee action, post poned the. Senate version indefinitely. This parliamentary move made a mi nority report impossible. Proponent of the bill are still seeking- effective ways in which to secure favorable legislation action, Hearings given proponents and opponents of a bill to outlaw pari-mutuel betting (and thereby dog race tracks in Carteret and Currituck counties) generated a lot of heat but few acts to guide at tentive , legislators,' '- who postponed voting on the measure until next week.

Meanwhile, House Judiciary 1 labored over driver financial responsibility and now to curb speeding anq reckless driving. IFavorable action is expect ed for the measure which would en courage more drivers to secure liabili ty insurance.. At the same time.

The more highly-publicized issue of hot rods on the highways has resulted in. another compromise which would permit charges to be brought against the owner iof a speeding hot rod whose license number officers are able to copy, even though they are not able to identify the driver. There will be widespread interest in two bills .passed by the House relating to a mrotorist's liability. One provides that contributory negligence shall no longer pe a total bar to recovery m a negligence action but will be consider ed ,jn, reducing the, total, amount of damages recoverable. The other does away with a long-standing judicial rule that a motorist, though operat- 1952 HATCHINGS UP SLIGHTLY Revised estimates place 1952 chick hatchings in North Carolina at 59, 899,000 up 1.7 per cent from the 58, 890,000 chicks hatched during 1951.
