Passage Would Ease Burden Of Local Taxes Both the Harnett C o u n t y Board of Commissioners and the Harnett County Board of Educa tion have gone on record endorsing the $100 million dollar State school bond issue to be voted on Nov. 3 and are urging its approval by the voters of the county. The school board endorsed the bond issue at its meeting June 1 and again at its September and October meetings reaffirmed the endorsement and urged approval by the voters. Under provisions of the act, funds may be used for the con struction, reconstruction, enlarge ment, improvement and renovation of public school facilities and for the purchase of such equipment as shall be essential to the efficient operation of the facilities. Harnett County’s share in the distribution of funds is $1,120,608. 21. The need for Improvement of E—'-iol facilities is pressing, and -amount *«ai fnwWd# a part of total funds needed to bring the school system of Harnett County up to state standards. These funds can be expanded only upon presentation of a plan by the County Board of Education and approval by the State Board of Education. Harnett Supt. Glenn Profflt, cit Ing the desperate need, said to day that Harnett citizens won’t know the difference in the amount of taxes they’ll have to pay to the State if the Issue Is passed state wide. On the other hand, he empha sized. if the work has to be fin anced locally by the county it will mean a big increase in county tax es. The resolution adopted by the county commissioners on Sept. 8 points out that Harnett’s share of $1,120,608.21 amounts to approxi mately $90 per child in attendance at school. Commissioners pointed out that they recognize "the inadequacy if existing school facilities In the county" and expressed belief that approval of the issue would pro vide a necessary portion of the funds needed for modernizing the schools. "The board does hereby solicit the support of all organized groups to use their influence" in support of the issue.
