The action came last Satur
day night at a meeting in Hills
boro with the Orange County Board
of Education.
No action has been taken on the
proposal by the County Board, which
has before it a 341-name petition
from group of Carrboro citizens
agitating for such an election and
a divided Carrboro District Commit
tee whose majority strongly opposes
annexation.
Next Move
The County Board’s next move
probably will be to confer with the
Chapel Hill Board of Trustees to
.secure its official attitude as a mat
ter of record, a move largely per
functory on this particular point
inasmuch as the City Board is
known to favor the move.
However, there are a number of
“ifs” which would present them
selves should an annexation vote
fail to c'^rry, and Oie County
Board in all likelihood may want
to settle some of them before an
election is called. No time for this
meeting his been set.
The motion to ask the County
Board to call for an election W'as of
fered by C. P. Jones, seconded by
Edmond Strowd and voted unanim
ously by the Committee which in
addition includes Bernard Durham.

ers would vote in favor of entering
