Board of ‘EducatiW agreed to meet with the Chapel, Hill school board on November 7 to discuss bond needs and later “report to the County Commissioners, but their reluct ance to accept an early meeting date was freely interpreted as in Iicative ok a coolness toward a ond issue for schools in the near iture. Chairman R, J. M. Hobbs of the loard of County Commissioners ailed the two school boards be fore the commissioners at the Monday session and asked them to get together to look Into the edu cational needs of the county with a view toward calliry; an election on a substantial bond issue for •fchool construction. - i Mr. Hobbs pointed opt in his ■felihiinary remarks that it “will m be possible to raise by taxa iii sufficient funds in the near ■lire to provide for the physical •Eds of the‘schools and the peo ple arc entitled,to know and pass i these, needs.” 'hairman Carl Smith of Chap Hill accepted immediately Mr. ab’s plea and pledged his rd to work for a bond issue. y county board appeared reluct »i\M° act on the matter at an-early . djfta,-but. eventually under prod ding agreed to meet with the Chapel Hill unit dbring their reg ular meeting time in November. Jpoth boards were asked to re eximine their needs and list re quiremqnts in anticipation of the meeting with the Commissioners tcafollow. Chairman C. W. Stanford his been quoted as saying this iO^y not be the right time for a bond election, and Member C D. Jones commented that the meet ing with the Chapel Hill board did not necessarily commit them to a bond issue. Mr. Hobbs said: JJI do not re-j Sard it as an overpoweringly sig nificant matter, this belief that the citizens might not approve the bond issue. I think they should be given a chance to make the decis ion.” „ “ He urged: “Let's all work togeth er in this grave educational crisis before us.” Chairman Carl Smith said he estimated a million dollars would be needed in his end of the county in t're next five years."
