New Aspect Of School Law Is Revealed Here County Will Pay For Most Of Tax For District Bonds fDistrict Due [One Third Debt ■Service-Money *****■ ^vsxeemtSm A heretofore unnoticed * "sleep er" in the fine print of the volum inous State School reorganization bill, rushed through in the final days of the legislative session, was discovered this week to have wide ramifications locally in the light of the special act permitting a bond issue for schools in the Chap el Hill school district, exclusive «f the rest of the county. | Under this provision which was j^scovcred by the Institute of Oovernment’s Alex MaeMahon and County Tax Supervisor Sam Gattis during discussion at the Institute’s ! Ux officials' school last week, citi zens throughout the county would | still* pay the lion’s share of any bond issue approved for school im provements exclusively in'Chapel Kill township. ■ This amendment to the law. Which -vgas passedufter Representa tive John Cmstead's local hill was approved, provides that if a school district acquires any indebtedness it is entitled to receive its per cap ita share of the county-wide school debt service revenue. Thus, it is entirely possible that citizens of the. Chapel Hill school district could -vote bonds in. certain, amounts which would require mi additional speciaUtax to be levied within the district. , , As a practical matter, here is how this situation might apply here in Chapel Hill and Orange County. The county school debt ser t1 revenue this past year was la amount of approximate1;; , on the basis of school building bonds and debts already issued. Should the citizens of Chapel Hill school"* district- petition and vote lor the issuance of $1,000,000 in -chool bonds for improvements in the district and sell them lor a favorable interest rale similar to county's experience in the past lew years, the county debt service revenue would have to be raised by some $30,000 jnnuaHy for prin cipal and interest. This would raise the total debt service revenue re luireipents to $78,000 Chapel Hill district has roughly one-third of | the students in the county; there fore the district Mould be entitled •to. receive one third, or $26,000, irst out of the $7K,00CTTor its wrf indebtedness.
