BOND ORDER - The Clerk reported to the Board that the Bond Order entitied "Bond Order" author- izing the issvance of $575,000 Industrial Education Center Bonds of the County of New Han- over", which had been introduced on April bth, 1964, had been published in the Wilmington Morning Star on April 7th, 1964, with notice that the Board of Commissioners would hold a public hearing thereon on April 20, 1964, at 9 o'clock,. A. M. Commissioner Broadhurst moved that the Board proceed to hold a public heating on Ithe Bond Order. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Mayhan and was unanimously adopted. At 9 o'clock A. M., the Chairman announced that the Board would hear any citizen ?or taxpayer who desired to be heard with respect to the Bond Order. At the direction of Ithe Chairman, the Clerk read the Bond Order and the published notice of hearing. The Board of Directors for the Industria2 Education Center, headed by their ? Chairman, Robert N. Hallman, explained that they were on hand to answer questions that might have come up during the Hearing but since no objections were offered, the oniy quest- ion he would like cleared is how much effect this Bond Issue will have on the tax rate. ' Chairman Hall explained that the lOd levy at present in the tax structure for Wilmingbon ?College will be eliminated after the next year and he can see no increase beyond the present tax levy although the valuations are not yet compiete. He called on the County Auditor, Mr. T. D. Love, Jr., for his opinion. He suggested that if the term of the bonds can be limited to 20 years which would require $54,000 annually, it would amount to 31 on the tax ?rate. At present, there is a 21 school.levy now in the tax rate which can'be.absorbed in in the present rate. li continued- - (Con I inued).__.. 15th, 196lL ?
