Commissioners Begin Wielding Budget Axe 1 Hillsboro—The Beard of Coun ty Commissioners this week be gan a ^concentrated budget reduc tion effort While seeking means to augment the quarter million in bond.money to build the now county courthouse. As each agency began to make its- presentation of expected finan cial needs for the coming (fiscal year, Board Chairman Collier Cdbb, Jr. explained the .need to find approximately $61,000 from Lone source or another to let the contract and called upon each group to pare its request.to the maximum to (help get the* job done, _ ' • . Most of the discussion was ten tative, pending more detailed work on the budget at additional meet ings in the next week. The (Board has 30 days from last Wednesday in which to decide whether it can accept the bids submitted toy con tractors on the proposed new building. The Board of Education, after discussion in its own chambers, agreed to a reduction of $13,100 in its original request and agreed to consider further reductions to co operate with the Commissioners if called upon to do so. Their pro posed reduction was made up this way $5,000 from the $25,000 set (for the Hillsboro School site, $5, 000 from the $30,000 set up for the addition to the Cedar Grove Negro School. $2,600 firom the fund to purchase additional land at West Hillsboro School and $500 from h proposed supplement to the supervisor of instruction in White Schools. Superintendent C. W .Davis and Gray Culbreth of the Chapel Hill Schools Board presented their capital outlay budget for ne/t year totaling $39,940. but agreed to reductions and eliminations of same items, among them (being tfunds for equipment for the new elementary school which will not be needed before next year and grading and i grounds improve ments at the new high school. In another action Monday, the ESoardHby a vote of 2" to 1 defer'*■ red action pending a decision by the Chapel Hill Board of Aider men on a reduction in the county license for operating a small loan business requested by Lloyd Gard ner, an Orange County native, who told the board he planned to open such a business in Chapel Hill. Commissioner Sim L. Efland championed Gardner’s cause but the proposal by Commissioner Bob Forrest that the county be guided by Chapel Hill’s action prevailed upon his vote and that of Chairman Cobb. Efland’s mo tion to reduce the $100 fee to $50 died <for lack of a .second.

In anticiipatioi) of the two weeks recess of the County Court, necessitated by the Superior Court terms here, a session of the low ,or court has been scheduled for [tomorrow, convening at the usual time. PERCENTAGEWISE 5 (percent of the degrees grant ed at the University of North' Carolina, June 2, went to resi- 1 dents of Orange .County. | As North Carolina?went, so went Orange County last Saturday as voters in the Democratic Primary piled up heavy majorities for their favorites who, it turned out, were the favorites of the Stae as well. While voting (was not as heavy as the record turnout for the first Graham - Smith primary battle two years ago when major county £ if ices were also at stake, the to tal was considerably better than average and well over 1,500 mare than voted in the gubernatorial race fcur years ago. Orange voters gave William B, Umstead a 1,700 majority for gov ernor and Cart Durham an 1,800 majority to swell the totals of these favorites in the State and district races with desperate op ponents, who left no stones un turned to bring them defeat. In the top county contest. Rob ert O. Forrest of Hillsboro and Sim L. Efland of Btland retained their seats on the Board orf Coun ty Commissioners and R. J. M. Hobbs, University professor and 'former Chapel Hill alderman and mayor pno tent, successfully elim inated two other contenders in the (five man race. Forrest polled the top vote with 2,£31, followed by Efland with 2,036 and Hobbs with 2,565. R. E. “Bob" Murray of Caldwell with 2,176 and Roland MoClamrock of Chapel Hill with 2,156. Murray got little support in Chapel Hill and MoClamroch ipoll ed relatively few votes through out the county’s rural pr|clncts, to account ifor their losses. Thus was maintained the resi dential balVce which has char acterized the Orange Board of Commissioners for many years, which many (feared would be up set by the entry of two strong candidates from the largest mu nicipality, Chapel Hill. For a single vacancy on the County Board of Education sought by ifive candidates, Clarence D. Jones of Hillsboro won an unus ually high vote of 2,006 to easily top his four opponents from Chapel Hill. Mrs. J. E. Adams with 864 was the nearest contend er followed .by A. K. King with 861, Grover C. .Bush with 418 and L. O. Kattsoflf with 315. In the race for Congress, Tom Sawyer challenging the respected Chaipel Hill statesman Carl T. Durham, polled an unexpected 1, 228 votes against Durham’s 3,028 and carried three of the county’s precincts. They were St. .Mary’s, Efland and Cheeks. ! In the contest for Governor, de spite the personal hand of Gov ernor Scott who tried to tie in road bCulding in Orange County with his own vigorous campaign for Candidate Hubert Olive, Umstead gathered about as many votes as did Scott and his opponent both four years ago. The Anal count ifar Ulmstead was 3,314, compared to 1,594 for Olive and 27 for (Manley Dunaway. Luther H.Hodges, the Leaks viile industrialist, won a heavy majority over his trree opponents mthis county, as did Waldo Cheek for Insurance Commission er; and R. Hunt Parker ran well ahead in both short and regular term contests for a seat on the State Supreme Court. The Board of Elections met yes terday for-the officials canvass of returns from the precincts and a precinct breakdown of the voting nay be found elsewhere on this pa^e. A Republican contest for lieu lenant governor attracted only 29 rote.-s ,n the county. 24 being cast nr w urren H ^hard and 5 for William C. Leeh-ew.
