GOVERNOR WILL RUN
NORTH CAROLINE ON
BUSINESS METHODS
RALEIGH, N. C., April 23— Every
department and institution of North
Carolina has been placed on a bud
get basis, as a result of legislation
passed by the 1925 general assem
bly. The act exempts the state high
way commission, which always has
operated on its own funds as a separ
ate portion of the government, and
which will continue as heretofore.
The governor, under the new law,
becomes the real financial head of
the state. He is vested with the
power of drawing up, after consult
ing with the budget commission, the
revenue and appropriation bills each
two years, and he is charged with
responsibility to see that appropria
tions are balanced by revenues.
Department heads are brought di
rectly under the governor’s control
by the new law. He has been giv

en the power to investigate the cost
and methods of operation used by
every department and institution, and
may recommend to the legislature
such changes as he feels are neces
sary to effect economies in govern
ment. He may order drastic reor
ganization of departments if he feels
that thereby the state’s monies may
be saved.
Heretofore numerous independent
appropriation measures for individual
institutions have been passed by each
legislature. The result has been
that the general appropriation bill
seldom, if ever, carries amounts cov
ering all state expenses. In addi
tion a number of institutions, and
practically every department, had
the power to draw on the state
treasurer for funds and this result
ed in large overdrafts of the gener
al funds. As an outcome of this
policy it has been estimated by the
state auditor that at the close of the
fiscal period, June 30, 1925, the
state will face a deficit in its general
fund of close to $9,000,000.
The new policy will become effec
tive July 1, 1925. After* that date
all departments and institutions will
have to keep expenditures within the
definite amount fixed in the appro
priation bill for their operations.
The state highway commission de
rives its revenues from the four cent
tax on gasoline and the auto license
taxes. Out of this income the sink
ing fund for the road bond issues is
cared for, as well as all operating
and maintenance expenses of the
commission.

Yorkshire Agricultural
Lands are Made Unfit
By Mine Operations
YORK, Apr. 23.—In consequence of
a report that mining operations in the
West Riding district of Yorkshire have
caused subsidence extending over 3,
000 acres, a commission of inspection
will shortly make a tour to ascertain
the extent of the damage.
* In the valleys of the Dearne, Calder,
Aire and Rother, land has become sub
merged. derelict and waterlogged to
such an extent that it is unfit for agri
cultural purposes. It is said that sim
ilar conditions will prevail on further
tracts of land in the Doncaster area
when the coal fields there are fully
developed if an intensive drainage
scheme is not undertaken.
To consider the best means for such
action a special committee has been
appointed to investigate the whole
| situation.
