Abstract:
Rocky Mount wants a new high school building costing around a million dollars. It wants it now and the only way to get it is through a bond issue. Under the present law bonds for this high school building must come through the County Commissioners of the Counties which include the city. The Commissioners of these counties are meeting school construction needs on the pay as you go plan and refuse to issue bonds. In response, the Aldermen of Rocky Mount have resolved to abolish the Rocky Mount Charter District, which effects not only public schools but health systems, taxation, liquor laws, and welfare funds among many other things.

Abstract:
For two hundred years of North Carolina's history there was no constitutional limitation on the power of local governmental units to incur debt or levy taxes. In 1868 the Constitution provided that no county, city, town, or municipal corporation could contract debt for unnecessary expenses. From 1868 to 1940 these local units of government have been asking the Supreme Court of North Carolina to tell them what is a necessary expense for which they may incur debt and levy taxes without a vote of the people.
