and reported by Mayor Sandy
McClamroch to the Board of
Aldermen Monday, to the effect
that .Such an ordinance is not
presently legal “within the
framework of the State Consti
tution.”
Reported the committee: al
though no town in North Caro
I lina has such an ordinance at
present, the committee was told
that ordinances had been en
acted elsewhere and upheld in
j the courts.
Attpney-General opinion
The Mayor discussed the sit
uation informally with the ald
ermen at their “Monday evening
meeting. He said the attorney
general had told the Town in
reply to its inquiry that it did
not, in the absence of enabling
authority from the legislature,
have the power to require non
dlscriminatory business service
as a condition of privilege lic
ence issuance. It was further
his opinion, the attorney gener
al was quoted as stating, that
a public accommodations ordin
ance prohibiting business dis
crimination based on race was
not presently legal within the
framework of the State Consti
tution.
The anti - discrimination com
mittee recommendation follow
ed a report on the efforts of
the committee, which the May
or heads, to aid in de-segregat
ing Chapel Hill businesses.
