Maternal grandparents are Mr. Legislative report The 1987 Legislative Session may be about over when you are reading this article. It has been a long ses sion. Over 3500 bills, mostly local, have been introduced in the House. The local bills that I introduced were requested by the local officials that were affected. These bills cover many different topics. There was a bear hunting bill for Washington and Tyrrell counties. Then there were many local bills involving updating certain regulations that counties and towns need. One of the state-wide bills that I introduced gives authority to county commissioners to approve any sanitary landfill in their partic ular county. This bill created a great deal of interest when the barge of garbage was off the coast at More head City. The other state bills that I introduced. The one cent sales tax to build schools that sunset in four years passed the House but not the Senate. I thought this would have been good for the Northeast. The school bill that passed the House and Senate addresses critical needs and should help the northeastern counties that have a small tax base. This bill raises corporate tax to 7 percent and does away with inventory tax. Each governing body will be reimbursed for inventory tax loss. Another bill that should be of inter est to the Northeast is the Best Man agement Cost Share Program. This is a program that lets fanners share in cost of preventing erosion and loss of nutrients due to run-off of water. It is an excellent program for the Albe marle area and this year will be in creased to 50 counties in North Caro lina Bookmobile schedule The Perquimans County Bookmo bile schedule for Friday, Aug. 7th is Cherrix Day Care, 9:46; Wynne Fork Court, 10:15-10:45; Holiday Is land CM) House, 11:00-12:30; Snug Harbor, i:?M:00; George's Store, Kirtoy Drive, 3:01; Gladys Warren, 3; IS and Gertrude Boyce Drive, 3:30. and Mrs. Frank Roberts of Hertford.
