County Tax Rate
May Be 83 Cents
Capital Outlay
For Neu, School
Is Not Granted
By Helene Ivey

The Orange County Board Of
Commissioners will not grant
Chapel Hill the 100000 capital
outlay request for a new school
in the southwest section of the
town. Such was the feeling of sew
eral of the commissioners when
they convened this morning for
the last meeting of the fiscal year,
meeting at which the total budg-
ct must be tentatively approved
and a tentative tax rate must be
set.
With total requests for county
funds equalling sl.259.92l and
property valuation amounting to
$87, 900. 900. the commissioners in
dicated that some cuts had to be
made. Without cuts the tax rate
would have to be about 81 cents
on the hundred dollar property
valuation. Last years tax rate
was u cents. This years rate viii
probably be SO to IS cents.
Since % cents of the Is cent in
crease in the possible tax rate
results from the school budget re-
quests, the commissioners private
ly indicated before their official
meeting this morning that Chapel
Hnl's request for $l00.o0o would
be denied. Last year $4,000 re-
quest for the same purpose was
also not granted. There was some
indication that the $25.OOo request
ed for the school site would, how
ever, be approved.
I'VE recognize the need for the
new school In Chapel Hill." said
one commissioner In voicing the
general opinion. but we can't
just up the tax by q third in q
single year. Maybe our efforts to
gst an ABC store In the county
win he successful II so we wiz
have at least $4,000 a yeaf for
new schools" He explained that
i at present the Orange County citi-
zens are paying about that amount
in liquor taxes through the Dur
ham ABC stores.
The Health Department asked
for $4,000 and received $27 500
thus necessltating the releasing of
one OF the Public Health nurses
now working in the county.
The Welfare Department had
asked for $4,000 for boarding
homes for children ($s,034 was
granted last year, and 5000 for
boarding homes for adults t$5.0O0
was granted last year, plus other
increases that brought the total
requests for general welfare needs
from the $61, ,767 granted last year
to $80,0l0. Part of that request
was prompted by the fact that
less federal and state funds h<xQ
been made available for the pko-
gram. There was some indication
that the request for general VI
fare funds for the County Welfare
Department would be cut about
, 81 900.

home; the place where I live
and fbve. It's not perfect, neither
have we found perfection IN any
other place of which we know.
Every community has its prob
lens and the joy Of living in
community is when we can and
will spend our lives in correct
ing the evils and enjoying the
good.
The story is told of man who
obtained by inheritance beau
tiful country estate. AS he lived
in the city he thought it best to
dispose of this estate and use
the money he would obtain from
it some other way. Getting III
touch with a widely known real
estate firm, he instructed them
to go out and make a careful
examination of the house, out
buildings, and the land belong
ing to the estate, and write II
up in such way as to make
ii seem attractive to anyone who
was looking for a home In the
country. When all of his instruc-
tons had been carried out, a
representative of the firm
brought in the draft of the ad-
vertisement, which they intend
ed to insert in the papers. In
the ad, the old home was de-
scriIbed in glowing terms: the
beautiful porches, the large
hallway, the circular staircase,
the drawing rooms, living rooms
and sleeping apartments which
make for perfect country
home. The billowing lawns
trees, shrubbery, gardens and
contiguous farming ground were
also pictured in language calcu-
lated to arouse the interest OF
anyone who desired such coun-
try estate.
AS the agent read the descrip-
ton, the owner of the estate
listened carefully, making no
comment. AT the close, the agent
inquired, What do you think of
that? That ought to sell it, don't
you think so?"
The owner replied, well, to
be frank, I have changed nv
mind. I have decided not to sell.
I have wanted place like that
all my life and had no idea
that this estate was just exactly
what I have been longing for.
Your description has shown me
what fool I would be to part
with it. So I will pay you for
the work you have done but you
need not make any effort to sell
it; I will live there myself"
