Mrs. Boyer's German students also constructed elaborately deco- rated gingerbread houses, a cus- tom which her students have ob- served since 1977, when eighth grader Kris Butler made the first gingerbread house. “This is a good opportunity for the students to share their knowl- edge,” added French teacher Gwen Quick and Spanish teacher Lois Redmond. “And it helps to create interest in foreign languages and cultures by making the entire school aware of the foreign lan- guage program.” Property transfers od I TE +".

The council projects that the borough will spend less in 1992 than itwillby the end of 1991, with projected income at $560,200, and expenses at $559,879. This year, the borough expects that income will be $596,679, and expenses will be $567,245, leaving the bor- ough with a $29,434 surplus. Taxes will remain the same, with a 21.5 mill property tax, and a 1% earned income tax which is split with the school district. The gar- bage fee will also remain at $85 a year. Amillisa $1 taxon each $1,000 of assessed property value. According to councilmanJoseph Sgarlat, the borough recently re- ceived a $5,000 grant to pay for the flashing school crossing lights by the Lake-Noxen Elementary. ee eee "a a"a"e" CC a) Sgarlat asked borough residents who live on the northwest side of the lake to complete the income surveys which have been mailed to them. The surveys will be used to help determine if the borough is eligible for various grants in the future, Sgarlat said. Sgarlat also said that the bor- ough has received approval for a grant of between $10,000 and $70,000 to construct dry fire hy- drants at the Outlet, Sunset and Worden Place sections of the bor- ough. A dry fire hydrant is unpressur- ized, and would draw water from the lake. Its purpose is to prevent fire hoses from clogging if they are dropped directly into the lake.
