of orange county Chapel Hill, Hillsboro, Carr boro— Between and Beyond— HILLSBORO AND CHAPEL HILL. N. C., THURSDAY. OCTOBER 19, T961 Magic moment... MBOK W.WTWM h •>» ORANGE COUNTY SHERIFF Ruck Knight is still hoping to he able to obtain direct telephone service from his office to Chapel Hill. But a stumbling block has apparently been reached with the Morris Telephone Co. in Hflilsboro. Cost of the line, which would put a Chapel Hill telephone in the Hillsboro office, is $95 a month. Law enforcement officers want the ‘phone put in so that citizens throughout the county will be able to e|fl the sheriff without having to go through long-distance. THE TRIAL OF THE “WHAM my” in Chapel Hill last week went all right, according to pa trolmen who worked with the ra dar speed calculator.

IF CURRENT AVERAGES HOLD outi the $1.5 million that Orange . County will borrow through sell ing- bonds next month will cost it $788,000—or 52 per cent of the principal. Ibis is calculating -the sale at four, per cent, which is. the rate of many similar issues this seasbn, ,and figuring a 24-year repayment cycle. While some peo ple oppose all bond borrowing as un-economical, it’s a fact that in recent years building costs have been going up faster than the cost of the money that’s borrow ed. Also—the people who use bond built schools are those who pay for ’em, since the re-payment of the loan is spread through the life of the school. >' Circulation Today 7,407 99 PCJ.
