Calhoun Sets New AAU Record;
Loses In Pioneer Meet At New York
Lee Calhoun, North Carolina
QoUege’s classy hurdler, set a
new record at Baltimore Friday
night as he negotiated the 60
yard! high hutdles in 7.1 to tie
for the second time this season
the world record of Harrison
"Bones” Dillard. In addition, at
Baltimore Calhoun ran a leg
in the mile relay and enabled
the NCC milers to place second
after Morgan State College.
The strenuous activities of
Friday night at the New York
Pioneer meet, he ran foot-on to
the first hurdle and later made
a sensational recovery to place
fourth after Harrison Dillard,
Charley Pratt, and Lou Knight.
It was Calhoun’s first setback
this year.
The NCC mile relay team that
Calhoun competed with includ
ed Willie Ward, Douglas Net-
tingham, and John Vassar.
These lads showed great pro
mise and indications are that
they are going to be In fine con
dition for the upcoming outdoor
season.
NCC News Chief Charles A.
Ray predicted in a television
^ews show over WTVD last Fri
day afternoon that after the
weekend events Track Coach L.
T. Walker would "in likelihood
withdraw Calhoun from fur
ther indoor competition In order
to start grooming him for the
longer distance autdoo: races”.
That prediction came true this
week as Ray quoted Walker as
saying “Calhoun is going to de
vote the remainder of his time
to outdoor competition.” The
decision is undcistood to be an
outgrowth of a strong desire at
NCC to prepare Calhoun for the
120 yards hurdles outdoors.
Calhoun is likely to make his
outdoor debut in the Quantico
Marine Relays at Quantico, Va.,
on April 7.

Durham’s 8 Point Bond Program
WHEN?
Voting on Durham’s 8-Point Bond Program will
1)6 held this Saturday, March 17th, at all dty
precincts. All registered voters within the city
limits of Diurham have the privilege of voting.
The polls will be open from 6:30 A'. M. to 6:30
P. M.
WHAT?
You are being asked to vote on the issuing of
bonds totaling $5,400,000. It will be necessary to
cast a separate vote on each of the folloM^ng
items:
Street Improvements ____$ 700,000
Thoroughfares 1,000,000
Water 1,250,000
Sewer Extensions
Sewage Disposal Plants
Police Building
Fire Station Iwadquarters
Incinerator Addition
500;000
950.000
300.000
300,000^
400.000
$5,400,000
WHY?
To put it bluntly, Durham has got to "catch up
and keep up.” Actually, Durham coul^ put twice
the amoimt of the present bond program to good
use, but after months of consideration, keeping,
in mind the urgency of the need, your desires and'
the effect on &e tax rate, as well as the advice
and aprpoval of a 40-member citizen’s commit
tee, the present bond program r^res^nts Dur-
hham’s minimum urgent needs. A breakdown
of these needs will be discussed later.
HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?
As a taxpayer who will be “footing the bill” for
this bond pro^am, you are natur^y Interested
in what it is going to cost you personally.
To better understand this, let’s look at past
bond programs. Since 1945, Durham has ismied
$10,400,000 in bonds. Yet our tax rate, has in
creased only 10 cents, from $r.26 to $1.36. (This
figure is th.e city tax and does not include the
school supplement which is added.) Now consider
the fact that salaries of city employees have in
creased by $1,354,000, whi^ alone would be an
addition of 9 cents on the tax rate. Multiply this
by the many other expenses and you wonder
where the money is coming from. The answer
is growth ot the city. More people, more homes,
more businesses and growth of present ones have
increased the total t^es paid in. The result, of
course, is that the tax has had to be raised very
little to take care of past bond programs.
In the present bond program, it is the feeling
that thru assessments and usual service charges,
all water, sewer and about 60% of street improve
ments, namely, some $3,700,000, will be self-
liquidating. Tljat leaves aproximately $1,700,000
to be covered either by increased taxes or from
the city’s current operating budget. Depending
j^pon tax valuations, your individual tax rate
should not be raised more than a few cents at the
most and quite possibly nothing at all.
To draw a simple comparison, let us assume
you operate, say, a trailer court. You want to ex
pand your facilities to give better service. But
you aren’t taking in that much money. So you
borrow the money. Naturally, you mi^ pay this
money badt, and arrange to do so by installments.
What is the result?
First, you discover that the use of the added
facilities alone will produce enou^ revenue to
pay for themselves. At the same time, the in
creased use of your park year by year brings in
extra funds, not only to pay off otiier inqmve-
ments, but for any increase in opoetii^ ex
penses. Not only do you «od iq> with yaat loaa
paid off, but you have a better perk. Yet you have
accomplished this with little or no ot)^ funds.
Apply this to the bond program, and it may
help you to better understand how it could have
little or no effect on the present tax rate.
Consider this Program ..
