MAY ASK ALAW
FOR A TOWNSHIP
SCHOOL ELECTION
Supt. Allen Helps Chapel Hill
and CarrbOrO Draft
Special Act
BETTER SYSTEM NEEDED

A. T. Allen, state superinten-
dent of public instruction, is now
helping the Chapel Hill and Carr
boro school authorities draft an
act which, if it passes the legis-
lature, will provide for an cleo
tion to determine whether or not
there shall be a township school
system. Under this proposed
law the people may, if they so
desire, levy a tax which will give
all the children in the township
adequate school facilities for a
full nine-months term.
The experiences of the last
year makes it apparent that
some such step as this is neces-
sary to a modern educational
program.
Scores of children living out
side the special Chapel Hill
school district had either to drop
out on the first Of March or to
pay tuition for the last three
months of the term. This was
due to the fact that the board of
county commissioners did not
vote the money required to keep
the children under instruction
beyond the statutory six-months
period. If there were town.
ship system, with a uniform
township school tax, this unfor-
tunate situation would not occur.
There is an alternative to the
creation of a township district
through a special act of the leg.
islature. That is for the county
government to take over the
school buildings in Chapel Hill,
Hillsboro, and CarrbOro, assum-
ing the bonds issued for their
construction, and own them just
as it owns the other school
buildings in the county. That
would cause an increase in the
county school tax of IL cents,
but it would cut % 1-2 cents off
the school bond tax now levied
in the Chapel Hill district and
As cents off the CarrbOro school
bond tax.
For Chapel Hill this would be
a net reduction of IL 1-2 cents
in the school tax.
For a nine-months term, Carr
bOro while having it's 45 cent
bond tax taken off, would have
to raise it's maintenance tax
from IS to SO cents. With the
II cents additional in the county
rate, Carrboro would therefore
have a net increase of l cent in
it's total school tax.
Thus far the county has re-
fused to take over the buildings
in the three towns, and it is this
refusal which has led to the pro-
posal that the legislature pass a
special act authorizing town.

CHURCH LEAGUE TO OPEN
SECOND SEASONS PLAY
First Luthcrans and Central Bap-
lists OF Hartford to Play
Exhibition Game

The second season of the Inter
Church Basketball league will be
opened tonight at the Y. M. c. \.
when the Trinity Methodists will OPP
pose the st. Matthew'S German
Lutherans. The game will be pre-
coded by an exhibition contest be-
tween the First Lutherans. last
years champions, and the Central
Baptists of Hartford, this being the
first of a home-and-h series be-
tween the two teams. The inter city
game, which will start at 8 O'clock
will be played in place Of the post
poned game between the Blue Army
and the withdrawing Kensington en-
try.
The league this year promises to
be faster and closer than last year,
as most of the teams have been
strengthened. The First Lutherans
will have almost the same aggrega-
ton as that which won the title last
winter by going through the season
without a defeat; Nyborg will be
gone, but Hoist, Hallin. Eric Ander-
son. Floden, Nordquist, and others
will be back, along with plenty Of
fresh material. The South church,
which finished second. has had to
be rebuilt; only Parker and Kilduff
Of last years regulars remain, but
Vessels, Morey, Bell and others of
the reserves have taken the places
Of the former men and expect to
carry on in fine shape. 1t is the
youngest team in the league.
The Methodists will have prac-
tically the same lineup as a year
ago, with much hope pinned in its
two sets of brothers, the Braddons
and the Hewetts; several new faces
will also be seen in the game to-
night. The Blue Army. with Nell
son, Elmer johnson. Carl Johnson,
and Swanson, will have virtually the
same combination which stepped in
in mid-season last year and pulled
the team out Of the celler; it is a
quintet WHICH Is DOtH HedNy anu
fast.
The st. Mats, newcomers, will
have the three Preisser brothers in
their lineup; the boys from this
church proved their athletic ability
by wading through the baseball
league to an easy victory last sum-
mer and hope to have a basketball
team as fast as their diamond ar
ray. The other new team is from
the Center church; the personnel of
this entrant has not yet been COM
pleted, but it will probably include
Leon Bradley. Bliss Clark. Fred
Lockwood. Art Stockman and others
from the old Troop 4 five.
