Aldermen approve drawing of bill calling for May 7 recreation vote The Chapel Hill aldermen will take action at their next meet ing on an ordinance calling for a referendum May 7 on a pub lic recreation tax of from $.03 $.10 over the present rate. Approval to draw the ordin ance was unanimously granted by the board, at the request of the Chapel Hill Recreation Com mission. In endorsing the call ing of the referendum Mayor Sandy McClamroch again called attention to the fact that Chap el Hill is the ohly town of its size in the state that does not have'a" tax *- supported munici pal recreation program. Phase out of Chest Recreation Commission Chair man Robert D. Boyce, speaking before the Chapel Hill Board of Aldermen, declared he hoped that with approval of the tax supported program next fiscal year the local recreation pro gram could be "phased out” of the Chapel Hill Community Chest over a period of several years. He stressed that it was diffi cult to estimate costs and the Commission's probable request for tax funds to the Board of Aldermen. But he said that possibly, on the basis of the current $30,000 annual budget, the Commission might ask for $21,000 next year, which would require a $.07 per $100 valua tion property tax rate, and for $♦,000 from the Community Chest. Asked by an alderman to what extent the program would serve non-Chapel Hill townspeo ple, Mr. Boyce said that it was intended to continue to do this, as at the present, but that a fee system of charges would be set up for them. He added, in response to an other question, that the Commis sion did not feel it advisable to set up the referendum on a dis trict, rather than a municipal basic. Such a referendum pro posal, held on a district basis, was rejected in 1957. District '(inadvisable' He expressed the opinion that removal of the recreation pro gram from Community Chest support would - greatly ; help the Chest in that many persons had feltthatrecreation should be a lo£al government program.
