THE TRADITIONAL OCT. I
for mailing out county and local
tax bills has been missed again
- this year because of the intrica
_ .cies of the computer machinery
which prepares the bills. County
Administrator Sam Gattis went
to Winston-Salem yesterday to
have the bills prepared, and
they’re scheduled to be ready for
mailing in Hillsboro and Chapel
Hill early next week. Taxpayers
were reminded that October pay
ment discounts cannot be set
back even though the statements
are received at some date later
than the first of that month—an
issue that caused quite a public
hassle last year.
SEVEN OF THE NINE

Caldwell, and Orange Grove
Granges. All were among the 127

ditional rivals, the Virginia Cav
aliers, Saturday before last, but
things were going great at the
Chapel Hill area's* ABC store in
sofar as sales ware concerned.
Officials noted last week that the
Saturday sales were the heaviest

county system was installed —
$12,700. A normal Saturday for

WILL ORANGE COUNTY OR
any of its governmental units get
anything out of the $14 million
in aid projects proposed by the
North Carolina Fund this week?
This remains to be seen, and no
local officials contacted had any
definite plans for project appli
cations at this time. But it is
known that a project for expand
ing vocational training at Chapel
Hill High into the field of medi
cal technology is under consider
ation at the state level, and could
be a Fund-aided program.

link with 1-8$ is completed will be that shown above...
Taken from the top of the bluff overlooking the town,
the picture shows the recently cleared route which the
new access loill follow from the south end of Churton
St., across the Eno River and to the top of the hill
in front of Eno Lodge, the Clarence D. Jones home.
The present bridge is shown just to the left of the
center of the photograph. Historical information re
cently brought to light by Mrs. Alfred Engstrom in
dicates Cornwallis may have encamped his troops at
this very site “overlooking the town.“ Having earlier »
been encamped near the present home of A. H, Gra
ham, according to the records, Lord Cornwallis was
said to have become worried about the safety of his
troops and so moved them to “a hill immediately
south of Hillsborough, overlooking the town." The ;
embankment forming the base of the previous bridge
across the Eno may be seen between the electric poles ,
to the right of center^
