Weekly Legislative Summary ACTIONS OF THE 1951 GENERAL ASSEMBLY By the Institute of Government (Note: This Is the tenth of a series of weekly summaries of the work of the North Carolina General Assembly of 1951, It is confined to discussions of mat ters of general interest and ma jor Importance.) With the March 15 deadline passed; income tax returns are being tabulated to assist legisla tors to think in more concrete terms about spending and taxing in next biennlum. Members of ?the Jol it Finance Committee are eager to get new revenue estima tes, some hoping to demonstrate that new sources of revenue will be needed, others just as eager to prove they will not. To secure the $35 million or more that seems likely to be added to the original appropriations bill, the 18-man subcommittee wrestling with a substitute measure would welcome any guarantee of more revenue, whether from Increased returns from existing taxes or from new revenue schemes (a most unlikely alternative.) Appropriations and Taxation ? Almost no word about decisions of Che appropriations subcommit tee has reached the outside. There Is some slight indication, however, that Its draft will be ready for full committee study by the end of next week. The joint Finance Committee has now voted not to impose a crown tax on soft drinks and not to change the sales tax status of either farm or mill machinery. HIGHWAY SAFETY ? If com prehensive legislation to meet the need for safer highway trav el is to be enacted this session, what It will provide has not yet been determined.

TF-. . : ' ? -> . :-j constructive; In the meantime it is apparent that staite ? operated inspection lanes, mandatory Jail sentences for drunken driving, and blanket speed reduction do not meet legislative approval. Yet some legislators leel that HR 203 which requests more spot mechanical inspections by an enlarged highway patrol does not go lor enough. This week SB 338, calling lor vehicle inspection by local law enforcement offi cers, highway patrolmen, and ga rages, #and SB 344, putting re spoiwibility |n local law enforce- 1 ment officers alone, were offered | as substitutes for the Ill-fated lanes. HB 216, still in the House subcommittee, offers the ?alterna tive of prohlbtlng the retail sale of any car which is not certified as mechanically sou/id. The Sen ate on Tuesday passed SB 81 which would strengthen the ex isting financial responsibility law by authorizing the motor ve hicles commissioner to revoke the license of persbhS involved in accidents who could not prove fi nancial responsibility or post security to meet possible dam age claims. Veterans Bonus ? Subject to a vote of the people, bonuses would be paid veterans of World Wars I and II in installments from the levy of additional tax es on alcoholic beverages under provisions of HB 678. By a 1/3 increase In alcoholic beverages taxes, funds would be raised to pay $500 to the veteran who ser ved only In the U. S. and $750 to the one who served overseas; the next of kin of a veteran who died or was killed in service would re ceive 51000. ^ Streets and Highways ? Sen ate concurrence in House amend ments to the Powell state-aid to city streets bill has completed floor action on that controversial measure; attention has now turned to such other proposals as HB 535 concerning the operation of toll roads, reported lavorably in the House, and SB 216 author izing establishment of turnpike authorities, re-referred to a Judi ciary committee after receiving Senate Roads committee appro val. The bill to reduce truck speeds on open highways, once reported favorably, has also been returned to committee. Senator Allsbrook has Introduced 2 new truck-weight bills, these estab lishing maximum allowable ax le weights. SB 183 reducing over all truck load limits Is still being considered by the Senate Roads committee. Stream Pollution ? Unlike its 1949 predecessor, the 1951 stream sanitation measure (HB 53 set ting up a 7-man commission with authority to supervise disposal of waste and to ordef treatment of discharges for protection of the public passed the House on Tues day. The committee substitute bill met objections to broad com mission powers by spelling out administrative procedure and ra ced only spotty opposition on the floor. Freedom of the Press ? Ap pearing to oppose a . bill they termed an Infringement of the constitutionally -guaranteed free dom of the press and .to support another as furthering that princi. pie, the N. C. press was heard by two House committees on Thurs day. Most of the controversy cen tered around HB 525 designed to make it unlawful to publish the name of any female victim of rape or assault with intent to commit rape. Judiciary 2 voted unanimously to report the bill unfavorably. Before Judiciary li the press representatives suc ceeded in getting HB 77, which would require that most court records be kept open for public inspection and which was pre viously reported unfavorably, set for further committee action on next Tuesday. A bill increasing the power of Judges "to exclude bystanders from the court room during testimony of children and females in cases involving sex crimes was killed by a Senate committee this week after it had already gained House approval. Port Authorities ? Bills were Introduced this week to permit South port and Brunswick County to develop and operate port facil ities in South port and to reacti vate the Tar River Port Commis sion In Pttt County. The State Ports Authority, currently devel oping ports at Wilmington and Morehead City, through Ms direc. tor has Indicated opposition to the South port Commission On the ground that a local commission should not take precedence over the Stato. Authority even in a lo cal area. Matters of latsnst to Local Of ficials ? Quadrennial reassess ment of real property has be come a misnomer. Following the pattern of each legislature since 1939, HB 670, introduced this week, would allow county com mtssioners to continue to post pone revkluati'onr finder HB 406 beginning in 1902, all counties without special acts to the con trary would elect 5 commission ers to serve 4-ytour terms. HB 634 attacks the confus ?oh surrounding the letting of public contracts, providing, a mong other things, that the pres. ent advertisement and bid re quirements need not be observed if the estimated coat of a propeot Is less than $5,000 The General Assembly has now received 3 hills to authorize construction of off-street parking facilities; :JkB 343 and SB 255 were Joined this week by SB 365 which would pro vide tor setting up municipal parking authorities capable of ?building the facilities and Issu ing revenue bonds for their fi nancing without pledging muni, cipal credits, the facilities erect ed to become municipal pro pert when the indebtetfneai Is liqui dated.
