n 2 The Dally Ter Heel Friday, October 10, 1975 1 oro io vote November 4; Garrb V bus system, zoning key issues by Merton Vance Staff Writer Transportation, zoning, and developement of parks and recreation will be the key issues in upcoming Carrboro elections, according to the candidates. Carrboro voters will elect a new mayor and three representatives to the Board of Alermen on Nov. 4 Fred Chamblee and Ruth West will vie for the mayor's while eight person run for alderman seats. West and three alderman candidates Robert Drakeford. Nancv White and Ernie Patterson are supported by the recently formed Carrboro Community Coalition, a group pushing for developement of a bus system and planned growth of Carrboro. The other candidates for the Board of Aldermen seats are Mike Caldwell, Lynda deFriess. Lacy Farrell, Marvin Nipper and John E. Thomas. Both mayoral candidates and seven alderman candidates contacted listed transportation issues as foremost in their minds. One of the alderman candidates, M ike Caldwell, could not be reached for comments Tuesday. The primary transportation issue concerns proposals to set up public transportation in Carrboro. Most of the arguments on buses center not on whether to have the system, but rather how complex it should be and how much of a financial burden it would cause. Proponents of the bus system favor joining the existing Chapel Hill system. In fact, representatives of the two towns have held a preliminary meeting to discuss the matter. Alderman candidates N ipper and Farrell have serious reservations about the system. Nipper, a field engineer for Burroughs Corp., said he does not think the town can afford a bus system. Farrell. a personnel manager for N.C. Blue Cross and Blue Shield, said he too is uncertain if Carrboro is ready to assume the possible costs of a system. But if the system would not increase taxes greatly, and if streets were improved to accommodate buses, he said he would consider the idea. All other candidates contacted support a bus system and said streets need to be improved to handle the buses. Patterson, a computer programmer at Duke, said he thinks a bus system is needed to reduce traffic congestion and the main problem in establishing the bus system would be finding the best way to finance it. Mavoral candidate West, a housewife, said she thinks another referendum on the bus issue is needed before the system can be put into operation. A referendum to set up a Carrboro bus system failed a few years ago, but the referendum was held when students who lived in Carrboro were out of town on vacation. Other transportation issues being discussed by the candidates are proposals to build more sidewalks and bicycle paths. Zoning and town expansion in Carrboro will also be major concerns in the campaign, and most candidates agree that zoning and construction need to be better organized. The zoning questions are part of a broader community debate over how much Carrboro should expand and how many of its small town features should be retained. Thomas, an accountant at U NC, said Carrboro should not expand any more, and he indicated that recent annexations to the town were probably made to increase its tax base. There is a natural trend for the town to grow, Nipper said, adding that he wants to see the growth controlled. He said that he would like to preserve Carrboro's small town image. Drakeford. a professional planner, said past town planning has been haphazard and the Board of Aldermen needs to adopt guidelines to direct growth and expansion. Patterson also said that he favors planned growth in Carrboro. A key part of the zoning questions involve housing construction in Carrboro. Chamblee, a druggist and currently mayor pro-tern, said the town should encourage more single-family dwellings. Zoning ordinances should be more strictly enforced, he said. DeFriess, a N.C. Memorial Hospital secretary, also favors building more single-family housing and fewer apartments. She said Carrboro has enough apartments already. White, who works for the UNC graduate library, said she advocates planned growth in constructing houses and does not think zoning and housing construction have been very organized in the P Also at issue in the election is how much recreational park development the town should undertake. A 10-acre park is already being developed in Carrboro, along with several neighborhood parks. ' Most of the candidates contacted indicated that economics will be a big factor in determing how many of the plans being discussed will succeed or fail. The key questions in the elections will be which programs should get priority and how much money can pr should be spent on each one. - '. 'J. - ' '7 if t P! if jj i '.

Continued from page 1 logging industry forever. Georgia-Pacific, the world's largest plywood producer, buys the logs from a private contractor who logs the Beidler tract. Good said the loss of the Beidler tract would represent a "serious erosion of our forest base." He claims that pressure from environmental groups to preserve logging land is going on "all up and down the coast." If it continues, he said, the lumber industry will be in danger of losing its hardwood .sources. . 5 Georgia-Pacific, in its 1 973 annual report, claimed to. have completed " its most successful year. Sales of $2.28 billion in 1973 were up 25.6 per cent from the previous year. Yet Good sees the loss of the Beidler tract as a threat that would damage Georgia Pacific's business. He called the swamp "some of the best hardwood-growing land in the entire country." Good also denied that the Congaree Swamp is more unique than other tracts of land. "Each new one (land in dispute) that come along seems to be the most unique." He added that Georgia-Pacific is preserving the record trees. He conceded that a representative portion of the Beidler tract could be preserved but said "we don't want to give the impression that we're telling the Beidler family what to do. -., , The conflict is justbegihriing though, is far as the Swamp Association is concerned. A rally was held on Sept. 20 to bring the i V IN ST A o COPY Quality Copying Franklin & Columbia (over The Zoom) 929-0170 .Mon-Fri., 9-6 Sjltb. L AP F swamp to national attention. More than 700 persons from seven states joined the rally, including Drew Diehl, executive director of Chapel Hill ECOS. "Most of us hadn't seen anything like it since Earth Day in 1970," Diehl said. "It was the most incredible environmental event I've ever been to." The importance of the swamp as a scarce natural resource was stressed at the day-long rally, Diehl said. Those attending the rally agreed that the swamp must become a national issue, and that Spence, who is up for reelection next year, must be convinced to introduce legislation, or a more favorable candidate must be supported, Diehl said. In the. meantime, Spence is waiting for a study of the swamp to be completed until he acts. The Swamp Association is concerned, however, that valuable land will be logged while the study is being made. All parties agree that even though logging is continuing, none of the champion trees are being cut down. But Diehl explained that trees cannot be cut away around the champion trees without harming the entire ecosystem and, in turn, the champions. Good said, "Some sort of compromise should be reached." But Cook said, "We're really trying to remain neutral. I think everyone is in general agreement that some portion of the land will be preserved. But how much I can t say.
