Coimty Budget
Adopted; Election
On Bonds Planned
The Moore County commission
ers, in a called meeting at the
courthouse in Carthage last
Thursday, made formal adoption
of a $1,420,043 budget for 1962-63.
No changes were made in the
budget as it had been tentatively
adopted at the regular meeting
July 2, retaining the tax rate at
$1.70. Lying open since then for
public inspection it had been the
subject of some discussion with
a view to possible changes, but
the final decision was against
making any.
Along with news of the bud
get’s adoption came information
that, during its budget-making
days last June, the board had in
formally gotten the ball rolling
toward a bond issue for construc
tion of the proposed Agriculture
Building, to include quarters for
the Moore County Library.
County Attorney M. G. Boyette
was instructed to prepare a reso
lution, for consideration and pos
sible adoption at the August
meeting, next Monday, looking
toward a $155,000 bond election,
probably to he held at the time of
the general election Novem'ber 4,
to save expenses.
Last week’s meeting was call
ed on request of the Vass volun
teer firemen, who appeared to
protest the omission of $12,000
from the budget, to purchase an
other truck for the county’s ru
ral fire protection system. The
next truck will, by agreement, be
placed at Vass, to serve the Vass,
Lakeview and Little River rural
areas.
The comrnissioners informed

Smith, that they also regretted

Thousands To Visit Sandhills For
National AmateurGolf Tournament
Thousands of persons will be
Sandhills visitors for the 62nd
Amateur Championship of the U.
S. Golf Association, to be played
at Pinehurst the week of Septem
ber 17, with the largest number
expected for finals of the event,
Saturday, September 22.
Many of the nation’s top
amateurs will be playing in the
field of 200 contestants to which
the entries are limited. Peter V.
Tufts, manager of the Pinehurst
Country Club, said from six to
seven thousand spectators are ex
pected, “depending on wrho is in
the finals.” If one or more Tar
Heel golfers reach the semi-finals
or finals, the crowd is likely to
be bigger, he noted.
Amateur golfers all over the
nation will be qualifying for en
try in the tournament, on desig
nated regional golf courses, Sep
tember 4 and 5. Qualifying for
North Carolina players will be
conducted at two Charlotte clubs.
Eligible to attempt to qualify
are players with handicaps of four
or less who have membership in
a member club of the U. S. Golf
Association.
Certain players, including for
mer National Amateur title hold
ers, are exempt from qualifying.
Among these is Chick Evans who,
at Pinehurst will be playing in
his 50th consecutive National
Amateur tournament.
Qualifiers from all sections of
the nation are chosen, by playoff
matches, if necessary, to complete
the field of 200.
'The No. 2 championship course
at Pinehurst, will be playing in
groomed for the big tournament.
The major change, now virtually
completed, is narrowing of fair
ways, Mr. ’Tufts said. Fairway
widths, at a point about 250 yards
outj from the tees are being cut
to a width of 40 or 50 yards
from a former width of 60 or
70 yards.4 New sand ordered for

came from near Salisbury. It’s lighter and less likely to pack

Council Approves
Putting Library
Bonds In Election
In special session Monday after
noon, the town council voted to
add a $25,000 Southern Pines Li
brary bond issue to three other
bond proposals on which local
residents will have a chance to
vote later this year.
The bonds would finance an
addition to the library, more
shelving and renovation work.
Two weeks ago the council took
no action on the bond proposal,
after learning of a difference of
opinion on the matter among li
brary trustees. At that meeting
th.3 council voted to ask the State
Local Government Commission
for authority to call a bond elec
tion on $280,000 for the sewer sys
tem, $105,000 for the water system
and $35,000 for a West Southern
Pines public swimming pool.
All four of the issues, if the
election is authorized, would ap
pear individually on the ballot
and could be voted on separately.
Present for Monday’s session
were Mayor John S. Ruggles, and
Councilmen Felton Capel, Morris
Johnson and Fred Pollard. Mayor
Ruggles said that CoimcUman J.
D. Hobbs, who was not present,
had asked to be put on record in
favor of the library proposal. Mr.
Pollard made the motion, second
ed by Mr. Johnson who is a mem
ber of the library board of trus
tees. The vote was unanimous.
