Whereas, the State of North Carolina is rich in points of
historic interest, such as the first attempt at colonization on
this continent, the efforts of the thirteen colonies to gain in-dependence,
Revolutionary and Civil War history, numerous
birthplaces and graves of foremost North Carolinians who have
played important roles in the history of the nation, as well as
other historic shrines; and
Whereas, such facts are not generally known save to a few
historians, and in many instances only to residents of the im-mediate
territory: and
Whereas, no effective method has yet been adopted or pro-vided
for imparting knowledge of all these important facts to
citizens of this and other states; and
Whereas, at the request and pursuant to a resolution of the
Department of Conservation and Development, and the State
Historical Commission, a group of five historians, one from
each of the following named institutions of learning: Duke
University, University of North Carolina, North Carolina
State College, Wake Forest College and Davidson College, to-gether
with the State Historian, have agreed to serve as an ad-visory
committee without expense to the state, and to designate
such points of historic interest in the order of their importance,
and to provide appropriate wording for their proper marking
;
Now, therefore, in order to enable the Department of Con-servation
and Development to carry out this plan, in coopera-tion
with the State Historical Commission, and the State High-way
Commission;
The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:
Section 1. That expenditures by the State Highway and
Public Works Commission in cooperation with the Department
of Conservation and Development and the State Historical
Commission for the purposes of carrying out the program out-lined
in the preamble hereof is hereby declared to be a valid
expenditure of State Highway maintenance funds: Provided,
that not more than five thousand dollars in any one year shall
be expended for this purpose, but this limitation shall not be
construed to prevent the expenditure of any Federal Highway
Funds that may be available for this purpose.
SEC. 2. All laws or parts of laws in conflict with this act
are hereby repealed.
