Tax Rate Remains At $1.30 In New Town Budget; Fire Station Planned A 1964-65 town budget totalling $319,233 — about $50,000 more than that of the current fiscal year—was adopted by the council in a special meeting last Thurs day night, with no increase in the Swimming Pool To Be Opened Soon Because paint applied last week must dry longer, the new muni cipal swimming pool in West Southern Pines will not be open ed Monday, when the town recre ation program starts, but should be ready for use by the end of next week. Town Manager F. F. Rainey said today. He noted that all other details of the pool’s op eration, including qualified life guards, have been arranged. Discussing opening of the pool, members of the town council de cided, at their Tuesday night meeting, to have a formal dedica tion program, the date for which has not yet been set. The pool was built with funds voted in a town bond issue. MANY MESSAGES— Miss Polly Miller, retiring after a long teaching career here, looks over some of the many messages received from friends and former students. The flowers, which were displayed at a reception for her on Sunday, are in a large silver bowl that is one of the several handsome gifts she has received in recognition of her long service and' retirement. (Pilot photo) AFTER LONG TEACHING CAREER Miss Pauline Miller Honored Albert Cole Reelected Mayor In Cameron Vote At CamjEron which holds its biennial municipal election on a different schedule from other communities of the area and state, Albert Cole has been re elected mayor, unopposed, with 31 votes. Elected to the town board were the following, with their votes: incumbents Roy Muse, 28; Frank Maddox, 25; Ro bert Laubscher, 23, and Mrs. Hubert Phillips, 20, and new comer James Roberts, 22. Mrs. W. G. Parker, incumbent, didn’t run again. But the follow ing ran and lost: Mrs. Doris West, 15; Mrs. Isabel Thomas, 14; J. W. Thomas, 14, and Wayland McKinney, 4. Miss Vera McLean was regi strar, with Jack C. Muse and Mrs. Jewell Hemphill as judges. Retiring after 45 years of teach ing—39 of them in Southern Pines—Miss Pauline Miller said this week, “All I’ve done is what every teacher does. You have a line of duty. You do it for the children.” The past week or so, however, provides considerable evidence that the people of Southern Pines —students, faculty members and old friends—rate “Polly” Miller's service over the years as far above routine duty. This week at 280 New York Ave. where she and Miss Flora Chapman share a home, across May St. from the high school where she taught, Miss Miller was surrounded by tangible evidence of the respect and affection in which she is held; —A box full of written mes sages and small gifts, from per- (Continued on Page 8) Committee Heads In Wildlife Club Named Appointments of committee chairmen in the Moore County Wildlife Club have been announc ed as follows by Howard Butler, president: Farmers, Clyde Auman; fish, C.

Holding the tax rate to the present $1.30 per $100 of proper ty valuation was made possible by additional anticipated ad val orem taxes—about $21,000 in crease; by a surplus and by better tax collections, said Town Mana ger F. F. Rainey. Highlights of the proposed bud get include a $14,500 item that launches a town employee retire ment plan; $20,000 to apply on construction of a new fire stati )n adjoining the municipal building on the park block; and provision for adding one additional police man in East Southern Pines. Rainey said cost of the fire sta tion, for which plans were drawn several years ago when the mu nicipal center was constructed, is expected to run around $45,000 or $50,000. He said he is allowing about $15,000 for sale of tne pres ent fire station on New Hamp shire Ave., to bring the amount available for the fire station this year to about $35,000. The re mainder of the cost would be in cluded in the following year’s budget, he said. Collection of taxes in the next fiscal year, due to increase of tax able property by new construc tion, is anticipated at $151,000 in the new budget, as compared with $129,000 in the current year.
