Jointsewage pi ant urged in Hillsboro The Town of Hillsboro has been urged to build a sewage disposal plant cooperatively with the Bel.e Vue and Eao .Mills that are lo cated in West Hillsboro. Consulting engineer Thomas D. Rose, the Town Manager of Chap el Hill, made the recommenda tic’n to the Hillsboro Commission ers in a special meeting wiih them yesterday. In a plan filled out by Rose for fllirg with the State Stream San itation Commission, the Town of Hillsboro proposed to submit plans for the sewage facility by next July 1. Work on the plant would be started by Oct. 1, 1961, and i, would be completed by Oct., 1962. Last May the Sanitation Com mission ordered the Town to sub - mit plans with sin months for disposing of sewage. At the pres ent time the raw Sewage of the Town and the mills is dumped in to the Eno River. According to a proposal drawn up by engineer Rose two years ago Hillsboro would build a $130, 000 sewer plant that could handle 400.000 gallons a day. This would be about double the present need and be adequate for at least 20 years, in the engineer’s opinion. It would be constructed along the Eno River east of the town limits. After receiving the order from the Sanitation Commission last spring, town officials met with mill executives. There was some discussion at that time of setting up a tax-supported sanitary dis trict that would include a large urban area around the town lim i’s of Hillsboro. However little in terest has been expressed in this . idea since then. County gets $35,000 from ABC operations Orange County received a check for $35,030 Monday morning. It was presented by County ABC Board Chairman Remus Smith to the County Board of Commission ers at its meeting in Hillsboro. This represents just over one third of the $100,000 that the com missioners have budgeted this 11 year in anticipated receipts from the operation of the Board’s three ABC stores The Board Chairman optimisti cally assured Lhe commissioners that next year they could expect considerably more from this pub licly-run sales operation.

On this gross the System realized a net profit of $53 ,700. or a hit over 14 per cent. After deducting 10 per cent of this amount for law enforce niei' and five per cent for alcoholism education this left the county a clear net profit for the quarter of $54,142.
