North Carolina legislature adjourns after lengthy session
The 1933 General Assembly adjourned May 15 after a protracted session. Key actions include a state wide eight month school term with a possible ninth month by vote, and a sales tax law projected to raise nine million dollars annually. The measure requires local approval and four endorsements, and revenue forecasts show a five million dollar surplus after adjustments. Three sneaked pari mutuel racing bills also passed, tied to agricultural and breeders' associations.
