Seeks voluntary compliance i The Stream Sanitation Commit tee has outlined the procedure to be followed in carrying out tue "comprehensive pollution abate ment plan."

If voluntary action is planned, the towns and other offenders must file applications for tem proary permits and report at six I months intervals of progress to j ward correcting the conditions sot forth i» the report.

The new teachers would include two band instructors, seven li brarians and one extra teacher each at Hillsboro. Central and Cameron Park. All of these would relieve the teaching load.

Carr-said, “At ! Aycock. Efland. Cedar Grove and Efland-Che&ks, the librarian could serve as part time teacher to re lieve teachlhg principals of full time teaching duties and part-time librarian to more adequately per form the duties of librarian. The three additional teachers at Hills boro, Cameron Park and Central are desperately needed to reduce the heavy teaching over-load of state allotted teachers. Plar4 operation and mainten ance increases, including pay in creases for these employees bring the total current expense increase to $54,471. Under the capital outlay budget an item of $75,000 is include^! un der New Buildings and Grounds for four classrooms at Aycock to repalce' obsolete classrooms at this old school, bringing the final increase in this category to $27, 000. $ Ask matching funds Under Old Buildings and Grounds an increase of $22,000 was requested, most of this in crease to be used for matching funds under the National Defense Education Act which makes mon ey available from the federal gov ernment under selected programs. Also rquested were funds for increasing library book expendi tures ‘to $1.50 per pupil, a new school bus for the White Cross egro students coming to Hills borc. and a short wave radio sys tem to be set up between the county garage and bus main Presents Gifts For The Grads ****Htny *'U*>U>S ^ 4? & a s*rs v. v / ii i n /v<*c=. rn in i i Carrboro annexation election set Aug. 9 A second referendum on annex ation of a 275-acre suburban area to the Town of Carrboro will be staged on Aug. 9.
