pleas for conservation of water despite the weekend rains Although the town's water supply at University Lake has risen about 17 inches since last Thursday the officials emphasize that the water shortage crisis is not yet over "The lake is Still 84 inches below normal and it will take considerable more rain to end the shortage" Culbreth noted The water now in the lake constitutes about one-sixth of its capacity Weekend rains spinning off from Hurricane Gladys did bring general relief from drought conditions across North Carolina Andrews explained that the committee felt this method could be more easily understood than its previously published figure of 495 cents for every $100 of property evaluation However he added that both figures were computed on the basis that Durham County does not increase its tax base and does not retire any of its current bonded indebtedness A similar bond issue will also be voted on by residents of Wake County and if one of the issues does not pass both of the $10 million bond issues fail The money will be used to finance a new terminal building a new 10000-foot runway to handle the heavier jetliners of today upgrading of present parking and

complete the sterilization process on the He said he hesitate" to predict that the water will begin flowing from Durham to Chapel Hill tomorrow but indicated that the process certainly would be under way within the next few days The leak he referred to developed in the lines installed by university forces to tie the two water systems together They installed a 12-inch pipeline Biong Old Chapel Hill Road from Garrett Road to Pope Road Two eight-inch lines are being extended from that feeder line for tie-ins with the existing Chapel Hill water distribution system The 12-inch pipeline installed by City of Durham forces along Old Chapel Hill Road from Winding Way to Garrett Road has been tested and cleared for use at any time "Our portion of the 12-inch line has been checked and is ready for use as soon as Chapel Hill is ready to begin receiving said Durham Water Resources Director Wade Brown When the leaks are repaired Board Briefed On Proposed Changes ticularly small ones to use accounting to stay on their feet A rate limitation rather than a limitation in cents may be the answer he said On the question of allocating public foods to private concerns By SUSAN TAYLOR The Durham Citizen'

two weeks from tomorrow in both Durham and Raleigh Included in the campaign will be newspaper radio and television advertisements placards on Duke Power Co buses and coat lapel stickers1 In addition 20000 brochures are being printed and will be distributed door-to-door throughout the city on 3 The Durham Jaycees who have endorsed the bond issue will be carrying out this task In all of the advertisements said Jack Andrews coordinator of the committee the focus will be upon the need for the bond issue will be stressing the he added the airport- which was designed to handle 250000 people is now handling he added committee will be emphasizing that if the airport which was designed for propeller-driven aircraft does not come up to the jet age Durham might as well write off the airport because most of the business will of necessity go to Greensboro Winston-Salem and Also he added the promotion will be stressing that new industry will not come to Durham without an adequate airport Formed in September the 12- member committee of interested segments of the community has been trying for the past month to raise some $10000 necessary for promotion costs Out of about 60 letters sent to various firms in the community Andrews noted that the committee has received only one rejection To date the members have raised over $5-000 and have promises up to $9700 Evans vice chairman of the committee said that "I am hopeful that the awareness of the importance of the air port bond issue is gradually being spread throughout the com-' munity and I am optimistic about its Andrews added that the advertisements will also be focusing on the cost of the bond Issue to the taxpayer The committee has figured that if the taxpayer adds 183 per cent to his present tax bill lie can estimate the cost of the brad issue to him New Service For Retarded Slated They dumped 376 inches on Chapel Hill during the 48-hour period ending at 8 am Sunday A total of 239 inches fell on Durham during the same period Chapel Hill residents began using more water last week before the rains came but failed to push the daily consumption figure over the 3 million gallon marie Normal consumption is 5-6 million gallons a day Consumption was 15 million last Monday 17 million Tuesday 19 million Wednesday 28 million both Thursday and Friday Ferrell said a governing body almost never comes under fire for aiding a volunteer fire department or a rescue squad but does" for aiding a Chamber of Commerce and nearly always does for helping a poverty program and to allocate some funds for the work Unless we do that we devolve to meeting the needs by consultation only" He said interest in establishing a coordinated organized program has to come from the association and the Carson said 'It seems logical that the community mental health center have a division to administer the work in the area of mental Dr Giragos said that Carson initially will not do psychological testing evaluate of retardates or give consultation He said that the beginning phase of Carson's work will be the coordination of efforts by all agencies in the county and the development of a program He said referrals of clients needing services will still be handled through the agencies now rendering these services He announced the mental health department's division of mental retardation as the first of several divisions he proposes to establish within the framework of the department which is itself only four months old Giragos said other divisions will be vocational rehabilitation therapy and alcoholism He said that cant designate these divisions without requests for these services" The meeting today developed into an expression of a need for the development of mental retardation services through his department he added Giragos said Carson will devote his time to the evolvement of a program to focusing upon the matter of retardation to initiating a program Next year we will ask for a grant for retardation and recruit somebody to fill the position we will create for this work" The suburban and rural areas have been the targets oi increased building activity in recent years 1 Hearings of complaints of

changes calculated to smooth out some bumps for Tar Heel communities seeking city-county consolidation and the local option sales tax are being recommended by the Local Government Study Commission the Dnrham County Commissioners were told today Joe Ferrell assistant director of the Institute of Government who has spent the past year or so working closely with the study group gave progress report at the county's request Working toward a Jan 1 report to the General Assembly the commission will now lay its proposals in the lap of the Constitutional Study Commission The proposed change concerning the local option sales tax deals with a technicality in wording The constitution now states that the General Assembly has the authority to classify and other for taxes on a statewide basis The commission recommends that the words other subjects" be removed to free local option sales taxes from this rule As it now stands noted Ferrell the General Assembly can provide for local option taxes only if every taxing unit in the state has the same options To facilitate city-county consolidation the commission suggests that it should not be necessary to set up a special governing body for a district which is taxed under a special rate because it receives special services Under the present constitution differential property tax rates can generally only be permitted if the city or county goes through the formality of setting up a special board Otherwise the property tax rate must remain uniform throughout the system even though services vary Other recommendations from the Local Government Study Commission include: the poll tax the General Assembly rather than the Supreme Court decide what is "necessary Items which are designated "necessary" may generally be taxed 'by local gov ernments without a popular vote three categories in which a county may incur debt without a vote: contracts of not more than 10 years duration: all inter-governmental contracts and contracts alleviating community emergencies public corporations such as the state county city or town to contract with and appropriate money to any (private) person association or corporation for the accomplishment of public purposes only the 20-cent limitation on the general fond section of the county property tax Ferrell said the 29cent limit has too often led counties par- Scssion On Wage Law
