Both said they would vote against the cuts. Harris is serving as chairman of the Senate committee of Human Resources. Senator Harris said he is also against state-paid abortions and would vote against that issue in the 1985 legislature. He said he supports state-paid abortions for 15 year olds in cases of rape and incest, but that last year there were 6,000 abortions in North Carolina, costs of medical treat- ment which were paid by tax- payers. Less than 100 involved cases of 15 year olds who had been raped or cases of incest. Harris, who has served eight years on the human relations committee, said he would be in favor of an additional half cent sales tax on food, instead of four and one half cents with addi- tional money going to the com- munities to be used by schools, for clean water, or wherever the need is greater. Doing away with the inventory tax would not cure the ailing textile industry, it was pointed out during discussion among city and county officials. The city was commended for its vigorous annexation program and Rep. Lutz was asked if the state’s drastic change in state an- nexation policy was getting negative response. Mrs. Lutz said that the new law spells out annexation procedure and what the state expects and that most municipalities are ‘happy with it.” : Creation of a utility district and plans to run sewer and water lines to outside areas and an energy accounting system by the city of Kings Mountain to monitor the use of gasoline in ci- ty vehicles was praised by seminar participants. By setting an example, said Comm. Humes Houston, we can encourage others to be energy-conscious. Both the city board of com- missioners and county board of commissioners agreed that by meeting semi-annually goals could be reached. The next meeting is to be held in the Shelby area.
