THE LIST OF DELINQUENT
taxpayers for Orange County is
about six inches shorter this
year than it was last year—in
case you care to take that as
any indication of economic pros
perity. The list occupied slight
ly over five pages when legally
advertised last year, as compar
ed to a bit less than five pages
this year (see Sec. II). The of
ficial sale of tax liens will be
held by the County at 12 noon
on Monday, Sept. 10, at the coun
ty courthouse door.

SENTIMENT OF LOCAL CIT
izens is being sought on the ex
terior design of Chapel Hill’s
new central fire station. Four
possible sketches, all utilizing
the same basic interior, have
been prepared by the architect.
One helpful^citizen suggested to
/the aldermen Monday night that
the Town finance the project by
having the proponents of any
particular design vote for it at
$10 a throw—like a school queen
popularity contest.
IN TOE LINE OF FINANCES,
the Town of Chapel Hill hopes to
save a bit over the initial cost
estimate of legal fees for its
projected $20,000 parking rev
enue . bond issue. Inquiry of a
New York bond attorney
brought fprth an estimate of
$1,000—or just under five per
cent for these services. —Of
course, it was brought out, a
$40,000 issue could probably be
floated for the same legal fee.
FINANCIAL DELINQUENT
cies caught up with a defendant
in high court at Hillsboro last
week. James Sinclair was hailed
before the judge on the appear
ance docket under a charge of
non-support. A question to the
