Governor Defends Contractor Licensing Curb
Governor Bailey said he would sign the appropriation for the State Licensing Board for General Contractors and Act 324, which requires licensing for contractors supervising projects over 10 000 dollars. He argued the 1949 licensing act does not conflict with federal bidding rules and would not jeopardize federal highway funds, though some officials worry about possible conflicts with federal regulations. John M Page of the U S Bureau of Public Roads questions the act’s harmony with federal policy.

State's Title to Tax Lands Faulty
LITTLE ROCK A law to secure the state's title to lands forfeited for non payment of taxes was urged as essential before the Farm Tenancy Commission bill can operate. A commission member said efforts start immediately and would push the measure in the 1941 session. The companion bill on quieting title passed 42 to 40 in the House, while the tenancy measure, by Senators Coleman and Byrd, went to Gov Bailey. It would base land sales on pay value not a fixed 1 an acre, lacks an emergency clause, and takes effect 100 days after signing. Sales may be slower yet frame steadings provided could aid the next 16 years.
