THE PEEQUIMAN& WEEKLY, HERTFORD. NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY; FEBRUARY 18, 1955. PAGE THREE j IVffllLY LEGISLATIVE SC.1ARY This is the fifth of a series of weekly summaries prepared by the legislative staff of the In stitute of Government on the work of -the North Carolina. Genera) Assembly of 1955. It is lj confined Uo discussions' of matters of general interest and itUjor importance. Pitt-session ' fears that the 1955 General Assembly would be a long - one, somewhat allayed in the quiet weekB of January and early Feb- " ruarjr, have! reasserted themselves. Tax 'proposals of the Governor and ; Advisory Budget Commission, em i bodied in the Revenue Bill, con- ; tlnue to' be the subject of hearings before the: Joint Finance Commit tee. Opponents of these proposals .take turns in describing the unde "sirable results they foresee should the new tuxes, be adopted. Only three proposals for taxes in addi tion to (or possibly in substitution rs of) those in the Revenue Bill have Tbeen Introduced: one would impose a 3 lew on hotel and tourist . room rental receipts; one would im pose a 1 on the transfer of real property; and one would raise the court process tax from $2 to $3 and extend its application to cases ' In all courts. Additional revenue .: to be anticipated from these three taxes combined would not exceed $5 million.' The most frequently mentioned major alternative to the tax proposals! in the Revenue Bill is a sales tax with' few or no ex emptions.4 No bill embodying this idea has been introduced. . Should it be presented, hearings before the , Joint 'j, Finance Committee would have to be extended, for each .group losing its exemption would v want to be heard. This would be true for every new tax proposal, : all of which could extend hearings . (and the 1955 session) quite a long time. ' " , ' Reorganization of the , - State Government The 1953 General Assembly au : thorized appointment of a study commission on ' the state govern v ment, with a report to be made to the 1955 General Assembly. :4 The ' commission was appointed jn.'the fall of 195$ with Rep. Wm. B. Rod man, Jr., of Beaufort, as chairman. By last December the commission had submitted its recommendations in seven separate reports;' (Xl on tJunajtce and fiscpj control; (2)y)eiv 'sonnel management; (3) cultural and historical development; (4) ag riculture, industrial, safety activi ties, ' and building regulation and inspection; (5) the prison system; (6) welfare and mental health; and (7) the office of the Governor. . This week twelve commission bills were introduced." One would trans fer,, in large part, prison admini strative authority from the High way Commission to the Director of Prisons. Coupled with this was a resolution directing that1 cost stud ies be made to furnish data on which conclusions as to the feasi . "bility of complete separation of the : prisons from the Highway Com mission might be based. Other re organization bills would transfer pre-audit functions from the Stato Auditor to the Director of the Bud get (Governor) and exclude the 8 T y- UOUIt 0ft TAtUTS - (AMI FAST RfUff .

Other measures embody ing recommendations. of this com mission can be anticipated soon. Public Education and Educational Institutions Bills prepared by two other study commissions created by the 1953 General Assembly also reach ed the legislature this week. North Carolina's public .echool law, a set of statutes that nas grown in hap hazard fashion through the years, is . subjected to complete revision in the bill proposed by the com mission headed by Mr. Fred Fol ger of Mt. Airy. While primarily concerned with trimming out obso lete and conflicting provisions, the revision also contains some sub stantive proposals. While retain ing in the State Board of Educa tion general control and admini stration of the school system, this bill would strcpgthen local control over local administrative units. (It will be recalled that bills introduc ed early in the session would make it plain that responsibility for al location, of pupils among schools rests in local boards of education.) A bill embodying the recommen dations of the1 commission on high er education (headed by Mr. Vic tor Bryant of Durham) reached the General Assembly just as the presi dents of the state's educational- in stitutions were concluding their statements of needs to the Joint Appropriations Committee. As not ed by Governor Hodges in his bi ennial message, the commission found growing evidence of overlap ping functions among state-supported colleges and the university as student bodies mushroom.
