Thfe big issue' for .this session! has been, and still is, what, und how much,: (n new taxes toil) be. levied. This Issue was not settled this week. As a result, it seems Wear that there can be no adjournment by May 14th, the session-end date selected by many legislative observ ers. This week , the House passed f resolution to ban local bill intro ductions after May 5th, but wheth- : er this '.will be more effective than : the Senate rule, which' has been honored more in the breach than In the observance, remains to be seen, ' Saturday sessions of the House and Senate have for yean been token meetings only, .held because one in terpretation of, the': Constitution seemed to make' hem necessary, (by joint -resolution, the House and Senate voted to forego this Satur day's, session.

Last week the House and Senate finance subcommittee agreed, by a close margin, on some $16 million in new taxns, including the tobacco tax.. . This week, the full finance committees did not t&ke a formal vote on the subcom mittees' agreement. On Thursday, t was announced that growing sen- and the V sales tax on building materials, and adopting a -tax pro posed in HB 402, introduced several weeks ago by Rp. Speight of Bertie. This- proposal would evy an addi tional tax on motor vehicles, pay able at the tirueihe regular license plates 'are purchased, equivalent to $0 oX the cost -of the license plate, but not to exceed $10.. At the same time.; it; was announced that' flnticir patecf inew fax needs have been re duced . to 14 million annually, in view 1 pt 't the economies which can reasonably be effected during the nevxt biennium (new tax needs announced at the beginning ot the session amounted to $26 million a mi.. i- i .n . yeaij. iiw juillt linunce iruiiiinil-j tee has scheduled a public hearing this coming Tuesday, on the .ques tion of levying the additional ve hicle tax. Highway Commission officials have expressed the view that such a tax may result in a di version of highway revenues within the meaning of the federal law granting highway aid to the states. Such a diversion could result in a loss of some $7 million ir. federal aid during the next- foiew.ium. " Appropriations:' Tuesday, the joint appropriations committee adopted, without change, the budget recomm'e'ndatiions of its 25-meraber subcommittee. Report ing of the budget bill to the House and Senate is. scheduled early. this coming week. , The .committees' 1955-57 budget calls for general fund spending of $424,210,272, which , is $1,115,391 less than' the amouiit recommended by Governor Hodges' "and the Advisory Budget Commission.

Thursday, the House voted 46 to 40 to remove the bill from the unfavorable calendar, placed there by a report from the Committee on Manufacturers and Labor, but a two-thirds majority was needed ; . .' Ren. Wilson of Union . introduced another . small loan bill, to impose additional regu lations on small loan companies. It would limit fees and interest charg ed by small loan companies to those charged by industrial banks, and would prohibit the requirement of credit accident and health insurance on loans repayable within eight weeksi . It is reported that Rep.

County Agent Gives Information About Annual Wool Pool According to R. M. Thompson, Perquimans County Farm Agent, the time is fast approaching for the' annual wool pool to be held in Washington, N. C, and the lamb pool, to lie held in Plymouth. "The date still has not be?n set," says Thompson, "but it is tentatively set for the last of May for the lamb pool." He furt'ier states tnat these lambs should have all th? weight that is possible for them to get be fore the sale as the heavier lambs grade better and naturally will bring higher prices. Anyone desir ing to enter lambs in this lamb pool should notify the County Agent's office ns soon as possible so that arrangements can be made to have railroad cars to haul the lambs to tlv slaughter house. In reference to the wool poo which will be held the first week in June, Thompson suggests that at tention be paid to the following: (1) Never shear when wool is wet If wool gets damp, snread it out to dry before bagging i'. Damp wool will rot. (2) Shear on clean floor or a canvas to .ivoia getting straw, manure or thrash of any kind in the wool. (3) Avoid second cuts., Cut close and keep fleece unbroken. (4) Tie each fleece with paper twine flesh sid - out. There may be a discount of 2 cents per pound on all wool not tied with paper twine and if binder twine is used 10 cents per pound may t deducted.: Baling wire should Sever be used. (5) Tag all-sharp beore, shearing. Pack tags jumT sweejH ings in a separate bag, otherwise . much of this wool is,Jfst inthe1 process of grading. (6)f Pack black,,, burry, dead wool or rejecjts of, any kind in separate ' basrtf rpjjopftfiy marked. (7) Keep lamb's weo!'sdp-f arate from all other .wool. i8' Pack wool in regular 'wool bags. (9) Store wool in dry nlace.'nevet in wet basement, on ground,, or c ment floor. .; , "No matter where you sell your.. lflmha or wnnl Via .qiipa 4a trot a . receipt for the weight, the .price and the number of bead fold. This: receipt should be turned in to the ASC office ns the Federal Govern ment is subsidizing wool at ihe rate of 110 and thev will .need a record of your sales in order to pay you for your wool snd "picked" wool off of your lamhn," says Thompson.
