be the adoption of a unified

Under the suggested measure
explained Curtis Morris, tax

would be under the control of
the County Commissioners’
Courts with the State Highway
Department serving in an ad-
visory capacity.
He expressed belief that the
arrangement would help elimi-
nate waste and increase effi-

supplement the present mad
bond assumption act under
which surplus funds are return-
ed to counties for the retire-
ment of bond isues.
Also discussed at the district
meeting were the Wagner-Mur-;
ray-Dingle bill awaiting con-
sideration in Congress, the in-
creased cost of state govern-
ment and the proposed revision
of state unemployment compen-
sation laws.
The new state budget, it was
pointed out, will call for a i
sharp increase in administra- j
tive and school funds.
Liberalization of slate social

a means of combating the
threat of federalization.
