Jiv tolling to atop; ; (Continued on Page •) \v Chapel Hill — A public hear ing te decide on the question of annexing the 66-acre Westwood section to the present 1120 acre municipality of Chapel Hill will be held on December 10, accord ing to action of the Bo&rd of Al der men last Monday night. There is little dcubt that the area containing a real and per sonal property valuation of $532, 004 will be taken into the town. The Board voted unanimously to institute proceedings for the | second enlargement of this Uni versity municipality In at least 91 years. From 1895 the town limits were not changed until an nexation erf the Strowd Hill sec tion in August orf ivou. A majority of the 66 property owners In the all-residential south&ide district last night pre sented the Board a petition re questing annexation. Unless 15 per cent of the voters in either West wood or Chapel Hill request a municipal election on the matter, the section can be annexed by vote of the aldermen following the hearing. The 280-acre Strowd Hill was brought in in this man ner. Tfwn Manager Thomas D. Rose presented the Board a nine-page brochure covering all facts of the proposal. Within the week 200 copies of this will be mimeograph ed and distributed. Following State statutes for an nexation, idle matter is to be ad vertised for the next four weeks. If reaction to the plan is favorable seme members of the Board have already indicated they would like to bring in the new section as of Jan. 1. Prcf. F. Stuart Chatpin, who presented the Westwood pe tition, pointed out there were no refusals to sign, although not everyone was approached. The boundaries <X tbb section were determined according to the ease with which the sector could be served toy town sawer lines. All except 17 Westwood lots will be able to tie in for town sewage disposal, and 29 lots are already served. The 1951 Orange County tax .valuation - the;:-district: > was $532,094. Of this $90,104 was in personal property and $441,990 in real property. Approximately 5,868 * feet of street will cost $8,700 to pave. “Just as rapidly as *the -town’s financial resources permit,” the report promised, these streets would be hard-surfaced. Immedi ately upon annexation police and auxiliary fire protection would toe rendered. As quickly as water lines could! be laid for hydrants, full protection would be assured. Within 30 days, the report stat ed, bwice-a-week garbage collec tion would be started, and after 45 days a zoning hearing would be scheduled. All of these pro posals are thp same as offered the residents of Strowd Hill prior to that annexation. Following are the proposed boundaries for the annexation: Beginning at Pritchard’s Branch on the western town limits, fol lowing this stream southwest to the rear property line.of house on the north (town) side of Smith Ave., thence along this line east to the Pitjstooro Highway, and back up the north side of the highway to the present town limits at the Medical Center.
