Patsy Mar fSee SENIOR PLAY, Page 4) Report Outlines Joint System For Town, Mills Mayor Ben johmton this Week made public a report just completed by Engineer Thomas D. Rose on sewage disposal problefns of the Town of Hillsboro, including'a pro posed disposal plant designed to handle combined domestic and industrial wastes from the municipality and the mills.. The study includes compar isons of the volume and char acter of the pollution by the town and mills and breaks down esti mated construction cost in accord ance with the degree of responsi bility of the three interested par ties. A meeting between the Engineer and Town Board of Commissioners is expected in the next week or 10 days to discuss phases of the report and consider further action, includ ing possible application for aid from Federal Government sources. .'The whole problem,” according to Rose's report,’1 is complicated because of character of the indus trial wastes involved. Wastes from dye operations are not always easy to treat and sometimes upset the natural processes that normally take place in sewage treatment. Before final action is taken and the actual plant is designed, it is .recommended that studies be made in a sanitary engineering labora tory as to methpds to be used in 'treating the combined wastes. According to the study, the U*tn ob the basis of water usage would touribute about 60 per cent of thtf sewage, the Belle Vue Mills and School (the West Hillsboro School which Is on the same system .with Belle Vue i 36 per cent, end Eno Mills 4 per cent. However, it noted 'that the^domtstic sewage when mbted'’^*ith the dye waste from Belle Vue gives the local sewage in the river its predominant charac teristics. . Nuisance Values Rose's report hastened to point out after noting the volume contri buted by the three sources that the amounts of sewage discharges did nit funiish a true picture.of the pollution contributed by the three ■Mirces, since wastes do not have ||ke same nuisance value and com parisons therefore must be made on a different basis. The report estimated that where as the towu on the basis of future growth would contribute 75 per eent of the wastes, Belle Vue and the school 22.5 per eent, and Eno 2.5 per cent, the actual nuisance vulue of the respective sewage would be 54 per cent for the town, 43 per cent for Belle Vue and the school and 3 per cent for Eno. The proposed improvements call for combining the wastes from the two mills and pumping them along with the Town's into the Town's collection system to a point down stream, east of Town, and there constructing a pumping station and sewage treatment plant. It is proposed to construct a plant of 400,000 gallons per day capacity, which it is estimated would serve the town for 20 years, at the past rale of growth. Total costs of all improvements suggested was estimated at $130, 575. Of this the disposal plant would cost $00,000, the No. 2 pump sta tion $12,000, engineering and con tingencies $11,900, sewer lines with in the town $16,075, lines and pump station for which Eno would be responsible $4,975, and lines and pump station for which Belle Vue would be responsible $15,400. ^ Cross Roads Church Plans Census Sunday A Community-wide census will be held Sunday afternoon from 2:30 to 4:30 o'clock by the Cross' Roads Baptist Church.

The long-smouldering Chapel Hlll Carrboro-Whlte Cross school district merger question, brought to a head by Um Chapel Hill, threat to turn out the Whit* high school and Ne gro High uWt Elementary students from the outlying areas and put them back In the county system, has erupted during the past four weeks Into bitter political fight. A total of 1.634 residents of the Carrboro and White Cross school attendance areas registered in the special registration during ihe three weeks period ending last Saturday, 1,330 of them at Carrboro. 304 at White Cross. Polls will be open on Tuesday at the Carrboro Town Hall and the White Cross Community building from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. for the balloting. ■ ", ' ’’ ■ - During the heated campaign, per sonalities and side issues have at times appeared to dominate the major Issue. >' Both sides have employed the ac couterments of high pressure poli tical campaigns in an effort to reach the. voters. The Carrboro School Development Council, the anti-merger group headed by one faction of the split district scbocl committee, hired an sut-of-Wwo public ttfatfbiis flrnt t«i' «rt lit Its campaign; while the pro-merger Citiaens Committee for Batter Schools set up a campaign head quarters to dispense information. Both groups have flooded the newspapers with press releases and gotten out brochures to sway public opinion and both sides have relied heavily on personal contact to secure the high registration and arouse interest. Both sides claim the welfare of -the- children as their primary aim, one side claiming (his can best be attained by Joining the Chapel Hill system-, the. other plugging for re taining (he same amount of-local autonomy which has-> heretofore been allowed. Both sides claim to favor the payment of supplemen tary tax which the merger entails Official Ballot SPECIAL SCHOOL ELECTION « In Th# -* ‘ -I Carrboro and White Cross Districts of Orange County May 20, 1958 t" INSTRUCTIONS 1.
