The aldermen authorized Town, Manager Thomas D. Rose to seek bids on the project—to extend from Columbia to Boun dary Stree.—after Mr. Rose said that this main cross-town art ery needed re _ surfacing more than any other street in town to his thinking. He added that the proposed widening of the street would probably not be carried out soon enough to af fect the re-surfacing plan. The Town will receive iSb ml $30,000 from the State’s Pow’ell Bill Fund fo local street main, tenance this year, and has about $7,000 left over from last year’s appropriation, acording to the Town Manager. He estimatfad the co.st of the Rosemary project at about $6,000.

Not Generally Available Printed schedules of the new call numbers and the locations lor which they will be sounded are to be given out to all firemen, call men, and other persons who will need them, the Chief said. How ever, the full schedule will not bo made generally available to the public, and will not be included in the telephone direclory as in thc past. Chief Boone cited the state or dinance against following fire trucks as the primary reason for not publicizing the new call number schedules, noting that great numbers of persons who have hurried to the neighbor hoods of fires have often imped ed the efforts of firemen and utilities workers here. However^ he encouraged any local resident to call the Fire Department — 4666 — to find out what his own neighborhood call number will be under the new system.

Eight permanent trophies will be awarded to the winning goll- er.«_four to winners and four to runners-up. Plans are being tentatively made for four tourna ment flights. In addition to these prizes the annual rotating trophies will be given to the low gross and low net scorers. mated the_ installation would cost S35,000 in his subdivi.sion. At the suggestion of Mayor O. K. Corn- well the aldermen agreed to meet as a committee of the whole next month and in.spect the proposed projects in these throe areas. At one point in thc sewer lines discussion Mayor Cornwell stated ^Hat the aldermen “might well rethink our entire sewer lines rate structure and our policy of extending sewer lines free in town.” He noted that in Durham the property owners paid the cost of installing lines in front their oroperty. The Mayor also informed the Board of the recently proposed c-gi cement for the town to give suburban fire protection, as drawn up by the Greater Chapel Hill Fire District Commission. By general agreement Town Attorney John Q. LeGrand was directed to draw a formal contract to be presented for approval at the Board's Sep tember meeting. This would provide, basically, that the Town would assume all assets of the Fire District — its tax receipts and fire truck — in return for rendering fire protec tion in this suburban area. Labor Day Holiday Schedules Announced For Stares, Offices Next Monday, Labor Day, will be observed as a holiday gener ally throughout Orange County. Stores will be closed in Hills boro, Chapel Hill and Carrboro. government offices will take a holiday, and textile plants will be observing the long weekend.
