White, consultant engineer of Dur ham, for the survfey and plans necessary in the sewer and incin erator expansion that the town is now considering. Funds for this preliminary sur vey are being provided through a contract recently signed with the Federal Works Agency. This con tract makes $8,900 available for the sewage survey and plans, and allows $1,800 toward the same di rection on the incinerator project. This fund will be repaid the gov ernment agency ifi the event the work is done, as planned, under the survey. If the improvements and expansion are pot carried out, the $10,700 then becomes an out right grant and never has to be repaid. '" Collier Cobb, Jr., attending the meeting in his capacity as vice chairman of the adversity build ing committee, told the board that the trustees of the school had unanimously agreed upon the. pressing, seeds for -improvement and expansion of the town’s sewer system, and with this in mind the # ’ • trustees promise their utmost ef forts toward finding funds to de fray half of the cost of the project under consideration. Dr. H. G. Baity of the University faculty said that the present plant was now operating at over 100 per cent of its assigned capacity and added that with the continuing expansion oi the University and town it is absolutely imperative to go ahead speedily with the ex pansion. Alderman Hobbs made the sug gestion that since a bond issue would be necessary to cover the town’s part of the costs involved in this project, it would be a good idea to assess the needs of the town for the immediate future in other directions, such as street and Sidewalk improvement and group all the needs in one bond issue. Town Manager Hinson read a recommendation from the town zpning board which approved the inclusion of the east side of Colum bia street between Rosemary and North streets in the business zone. Mayor Madry said that official ac tion would be taken* on this' at the next meeting of the board, after all property owners on that block had been notified of .the pro posed'change. - Red Cross Campaign Given Send-Off At Hillsboro Meeting I— Hill Kiwaoiaas Support Seal Drive Chapel Hill.—J.

The campaign* will officially get underway in the county March 10. According to chairmen, the next meeting of workers will be held in Hillsboro March 18, one week after the campaign is underway, in or der to tally receipts to date. Although the Chapel Hill-Carr boro quota in the Red Cross Fund drive, which opens there Friday following President Truman’s ra dio address and the national kick off Thursday night, is only $6,000 the amount which will be spent on Red Cross services and activ ities in these two communities next year will be $6,275. The explanation is this: The lo cal chapter has a surplus of ap proximately $3,275 from last year’s over-the-top drive;-So all it 4a necessary to raise this time is $3, 000 for the local fund and a match ing $3,000 for the national fund, or less than the total to be spent here next year. However, the local chapter has lost two of its biggest sources of revenue in the Pre-Flight School and the Munitions Plant, and Campaign Chairman R. M. Grum man estimates that each donor’s contribution would need to aver age about three-fourths of last year’s to go over the top again. As Chairman Grumman sums up: “The local chapter will spend $275 more actual money in Chapel Hill and Carrboro next year than the $6,000 it has for its godl. The total services will also we worth many times the $6,000, because this sum will be multiplied by the services of several hundred volunteer workers.” W.
