New Plant Considers Area; Meet Tonight School Merger Is Soundly Defeated Flu* proposed merger of the C '.arrboro and White Cross School Attendance Areas with the Chapel HiU Special St haul District was soundly defeated day before yesterday by a tljree to-two proportion. Following is the'official breakdown of voting in the two spt*hal precincts: — Registered Voting Pet. Voting For Against Plurality t Carrboro .1330 132* 92.1 400 723 233 Whito Cross 304 2M 93.7 7$ 193 lit Totals 1*34 1494 91.43 5*5 91* 3S1 Fife Vurnoui nl per rent t»f the ttttal registered electorate o! i,(iyj was considered the highest proportionate vote recorded here in many years. Well-organised factions on both sides of the issue and weeks of bitter campaigning obviously ac counted for the unusually large vote though extremely heavy ballot ing''had been expected Compare To Other elections By comparison only 80 per cent, of the electorate voted in the Chap el Hill municipal elections last year. And this was thought to be a heavy vote in a briskly-contest ed campaign. Chapel Hill -s special lefcrendum on public recreation last year brought out 85 per cent of the 2.02S registered voters.. and this. too. was thought at the time to be a record. Further aanlyats oi the totals shows that (1.2 per cent of the voters cast their ballots against the mergrr proposal — defeating it by a total of 361 votes. A number of factors scorned to figure in the outcome of the voting. On the basis of issues in the cam paign it would seem that citizens ! of Carrttbrft Tett fhey might lone their identity and 'the identity of their schools by changing their ad ministrative headquarters from Hillsboro to Chapel Hill. Kx pec ted In White Cross Tlie vote of better lhaji two-to-one against the merger in ortjf White Cross precinct was generally ex , pccted by observers of the cam paign. but in that area the matter of increased luxes seemed to be a more important issue The regular White Cross precinct voted against tlie County-wide school bond issue in 1056, though the ‘proposal car ried substantially in the entire •jL'ounty. And—incidentally, -it ear ned b.v a whopping II-tO-one pro portion in Can boro precinct." Further, 'the issues of the cam paign would testify that the dis like of higher taxes did not fig' ure largely in the Can-boro voting, slnee merger opposition leaders have proclaimed their support of a supplementary'Lax for'the Carr boro School attendance area alone. Undoubtedly there are a number of other reasons that dictated in which square euch voter placed his ' X" after tlie voting booth curtain was drawn Among these seem to have been the feeling that Chapel Hill would have benefitted more Ilian Carrbbro-Whjle Cross from Hie merger, and long-standing evi dences of ill will between Chapel Hill and Carrboro. GOLD STAR MOTHERS Tlie American Legion Auxiliary ol Hillsboro. Unit 85, will give a Gold Star Program at the Legion Hut Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'click for Gold Star Mothers, wives, sisters and daughters.
