ued its deliberations in connec
tion with the adoption of a new
budget for the next fiscal year.
The Board met both Monday
and Tuesday nights of this week
and a third meeting of the week
is scheduled for 8 o’clock tomor
row night, when representatives
of both Orange County and Chapel

consultations on items Which the
Coniriiissioners decide should be
cut from the original requests.
Faced with departmental /re
quests whjch if granted would
raise the tax rate to about 89c per
$100 valuation, which would be an
increase of 27c, the Commission
ers went through the requests
item by item on Monday and Tues
day nights to find where the
knife can best be used.
Prominent in. the study, of
course, is'what to do about salary
increases for elective, appointive
and clerical workers.
.Under consideration is a formu
la under which workers, under
the county Classification system,
or half of them, would receive
merit raises and elective officials
flat five percent increases.
Also under discussion are re
quests for ■additional employees
for several departments, includ
