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.

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.
