County Must Revalue For Taxes In '64 The old — and apparently tooth lass _ law Whi^h directed counties to revalue property for tax pur poses every four years has been re placed by one with more bite. Under the law passed by the Gen eral Assembly Orange County, fol lowing a statewide schedule, must next revalue jn 1964. to be effective with the listing of January 1, 1965. \ tax levy of up to 5 cents per $100 valuation is now permissible to fi nance the program. Revaluations must then follow, each eight years. The order in which counties are to revalue was decided by the ones ! .which undertook revaluation the longest ago Orange's last revalua i tion was in 1954. .

Herman Baptist Church, located east of Hillsboro, to consider the rental «r sale of the Murphy School property for a nom inal sum for use by the church. The Rev. Hayne Rivers, pastor, and W. P.

Fire Causes Minor Damagfe At Eno Plant Fire broke out in the slashing department at Cone Corpartion’s Eno pTant Tuesday morning but was brought under control with relatively minor damage. Focal flfcint of the blaze was the exhaust system of tile slashing machine itself, a valuable machine which sizes all yarns woven at the local plant and thus is a key step in the entire mill’s operation. Fire spread to the roof of the build ing where most of the damage was done. There was some water dam age to a number of finished beams in the department, but other de partments continued operations. No estimate of the amount of dam was available. The Hillsboro Fire Department, manning the rural truck, exting uished the blaze. Safety Group Elects Baucom Its President H. S.

A tentative offer of $50,000 has been made bv the Mayor and the Carrboro Board of Con mis si oners contingent upon ap proval of a bond issue for the purchase and necessary improve ments and alterationa by votfc of the people. Complete plans for development of the property, which has not been used for school purposes, since the end of the 1997-58 term, have not been made. Such a use for the unused school property has been hinted for some time. The Board of Education, when confronted with the Carrboro 6f fer Monday, seemed favorably dis posed toward the idea and todk action placing it in position to sell the property to Carrboro in the event a bond issue is approved. It instructed County Attorney A. H. Graham to begin necessary legal procedures to offer the Carr boro School for sale at public auc tion. Once the property has been offered for sale at public auction, unsatisfactory bids could be re jected and the property sold priv ately and by negotiation. The price proposed by the Town of Carrboro, $30,000, is the value of the property as appraised by a Committee of local realtor* cofn *PpPl|f Collier Cobb Jr.. John Jf. Foushee and Clyde E. Hornaday. Mayor R B. Todd in his letter submitting the town's bid indicat ed the hoard could not call for a vote on the bond issue until the bid has been accepted and the cost of repairs determined. He es timated it would require 90 days j to complete the vote after the bid has been accepted by the Board ! of Education. The old Carrboro School prop erty was retained by the County Board of Education when the present school was transferred to j the Chapel Hill administrative 1 unit at the end of the .past fiscal. | year Funds thus derivecL from a sale would go into the county’s budget. The Chapel Kill school hoard, however, has been consult , ed and according to. Superinten ! dent Joe Johnston approves the proceedings leading to the con | templated sale.
