Many Changes Of N. C. Constitution Proposed in Present State Assembly
Raleigh February 7 AP three amendments proposed to alter North Carolina constitution ahead of the general assembly and the North Carolina Education Association plans to seek an eighth months school term amendment. Proposals include calling a constitutional convention creating more judicial districts with a superior court judge and tax rate limits plus intangible property taxation. The teachers group backs an election on the term amendment despite mixed commission support. The taxation limit would cap total local levies at 3.05 dollars per hundred with state five cents, city 1.25, county 1.25 and district 50 cents.
