JESSE WEST Hearn, Others Avow ■ 'ijr*' r ' r Carr boro School Group Sought Own Tax Levy For years I he Carrboro Sc hool Advisory Committee and other leading citizens of the community have tried to secure a special, 15 cent Carrboro school lax levy, de clared K. T. Hearn, a former mem her -of the comnjiltee and now a meml)eF*i>f lhtp Carrboro. School Development Council. '‘But in every instance- our efforts have beet) blocked by the County Board which was mfluehrod by the Chapel Hill School Board and by members of the* Citizens ■C’oitVmittee.’' Mr Hearn's statement was con currtd in by Carl Ellington ant! •Lloyd--Sent er-.- present -ami former members of the Advisory School Convnittec and members of the Carrboro School Development Council. '' M*. Hearn explained that it was the desire of the committee to use part of. the supplementary tax to improve the Carrboro elementaly school, and part of it to re-em hure Chapel Hill for the costs of vkhite high school students, and, 4II Negro pupils, who live in the farrboro school area but attend Chapel Hill schools, j “The reason they opposed our fax recommendation was that hey jenew once the special levy had passed the Chapel Hill " plan to Swallow up all Carrboro schools [would be dead," said Mr. Hearn, i Mr. Hearn's statement was in re ply to a recently published article [to the effect that efforts to secure a Carrboro school tax election in variably had been defeated by tho Carrboro School Advisory Commit tee. “Let's look at the record." said Mr. Hearn, turning toward his files. He stated than on October 17 .1955, the Carrboro School Com mittee had voted four to nothing to recommend such a special school tax. Another such recommendation was made on July 31. 1956: and still another on November 26. 1956 “But the County Board of Educa tlon continually has ignored our recommendations because. I be lieve. of pressure from Chapel Hill and from some of- those who wan' to merge Carrboro and Chapel Hill schools,'' Hearn coaUuuedL “Last February 3 a delegation of members or the Citizen* Committee told the County School Board thal they wanted an election on the school merger but did not wan' an election on a special, Carrboro school tax. The next day 1 was one of a group which asked the County Board why carrboro couldn’t have its special tax election first. The same question was asked the three hoard member's, Charles Stanford Clarence Jones and John Hawkins. Also Superintendent G. Paul Carr. Every one of them stated that the j delegation from the Carfboro" Cit izens Committee had threatened to" fight a t’archnro school supplement if the question ever was submitted. The names of those people who favoted the merger but were against Carrboro improving its own schools were — according to the newspaper If. Dobson. Jr.. George Odell Barham, Mrs Bruce Riggs bee, Karl Settlemire, John E. Mar tin. Jr., and Mrs -Edith P. Kaylor. And these are the very people say ing that we are against better schools just because we want Carr boro to run its own. "I want to make it clear that we are not fighting a school tax. What we are fighting is an effort to turn Carrboro’s school over to Chapel Hill to do with as Chapel Hill wants."
