Finishing thoroughfare plan
is planners major objective
Completion of the com
munity's major thorough
fare plan will be the District
Planning Board’s No. 1 ob
jective in Chapel Hill during
the coming year.
The Board’s plans for 1960
61 are outlined in its $4,035
budget request for the new year,
along with a report on the cur
rent year’s activities. The pres
ent budget is $3,875.
Board Chairman Frank Umstead
cited the financial advantages of
appropriating money for planning,
declaring ih his report “Past ex
perience clearly indicates that
money spent now for planning can
reduce costs in the future. This is
particularly true for outlying
areas that may come into the
town some day.’’
Asks discussion of plan
He recommended that the com
prehensive thoroughfare plan, now
tentatively adopted by the Plan
ning and Town Boards, be dis
cussed and reviewed by local civic
groups, and finally adopted for
filing with the State Highway Com
mission.
The Commission will be more
likely to help carry out the lo
cal plan if three additional sup
plementary studies are made,
Mr. Umstead stated:
(1) A population and local eco
- nomy study — charting the com
munity’s expected growth in these
fields; (2) Completion of a new
aerial map of the planning dis
trict; and (3) a residential area
study, to show in detail the most
; likely and most advisable areas
for future residential development.
To retain Triangle staff
These and other local planning
activities in the future can be
carried out by the Research
Triangle Regional Planning Com
mission, according to the local
planners’ recommedatiom.
They suggested the newly-organ
ized Triangle group as the "logi
cal” organization to carry out
this work continually, ra:her than
hire consultants for each individ
ual project.
The Commission is planning a
$25,750 budget for the lOSO-fil
year—its first full year of opera
tion. Out of this Chapel Hill”*
share has been designated as
six per cent—or $1,545; and Or
ange County’s part, four per
cent, or $1,030. Wake County,
Raleigh, Durham County, and
Durham, would pay the remain
ing 80 per cent.
Here’s the breakdown of the
coming year’s budget request for
the local planning, body: Salary of
planning assistant (who serves as
as sort of executive secretary for
the group)—12175; for Research
Triangle Planning Commission—
$1,545 (six-months appropriation
this year was $875); office and
other expenses—$315.

Process/pg of 1960 census
data begins here at UNIVAC
Processing of part of the 1960
census data began here Tuesday
at 1 p.m., by the Univac 1106
electronic computer. North Car
olina is the first state to be pro
cessed by the University’s elec
tronic brain.
The census data is broken into
two parts, the first of which wilT
be completed at the Computation
Center in Chapel Hill in the fall.
The information will be sent to
Washington, D. C., by October 1,
where the data will be tested and
re-tested by the Washington elec
tronic computer. At an unan
nounced date the verified informa
tion will be released from Wash
ington.
The Univac in Chapel Hill has
only a portion of the 15,000 reels
to be processed. The remainder
will be done at the Chicago and
Washington computers. Most of
the Washington processing, how
ever, will involve testing the data
sent there from Chapel 'Hill and
Chicago.
James Pepal, unit chief of the
Bureau of the Census operations
at the Univac 1105 Data Automa
tion System in Chapel Hill, esti
mates that the process of certify
ing census data, originally taking
two and a half years, will be cut
to three months.
Pepal and approximately five
assistants will feed information
into the Univac continuously, day
and night, until all of the tapes
have been calculated. Starting
and stopping the process is such
a job that the staff must keep
the computer operating until the
project is completed.
Regular tours of the Computa
tion Center for the ^public will
continue at 4 o’clock on Friday
afternoons in the basement of
Phillips Hall Annex.

hours in official meetings, or—
as the report pointed out—“the
equivalent of more than five 40
hour work weeks donated to these
civic duties.”
