Capitol Square Notes on Highway Funds and Looming Loan
In Raleigh Capitol talk Rep. Wallace Tatem seeks to compel repayment of four million dollars diverted from the highway account during 1933 to 1937. He argues the general fund should cover the debt before other uses as roadbuilders push to complete direct routes linking county seats. Most see little chance of success amid heavy general fund demands and broader political resistance.

State liquor bill sleeps despite committee vote
Proponents say the Martin bill for a statewide liquor vote is not dead, only resting for two more years after an overwhelming committee rejection. A rare two-thirds vote to place it on the favorable calendar is deemed virtually impossible, though a formal motion could be made.
Preponderant Votes Block Statewide Liquor Election
The house committee reports unfavorably on a liquor referendum 29 to 4 and senate action is uncertain. A constitutional amendment could let the general assembly call itself into extra session with a majority vote, but current limits and governor’s veto power hinder such action. If Simms’s amendment passes, a majority could force a special session limited to listed topics.
