THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE *F4..EGE. PENNSYLVANIA Prices Soon higher. The old price was 25 cents per • line. The Dux ClUb owner has strongly attacked an assessment increase as responsible for the hike in price. He said yesterday that the extent of the new rate could not be definitely deter mined until the millage rate for 1952 is established. Gentzel indicated that students bowling as part of the physical education program of the College would also have their special 15 cent per line fee raised, but ap parently not until the new sem ester begins in February. Gentzel first indicated that a rise in bowling prices was likely early last month after the Centre County board of commissioners, sitting as the board of assess ments an d revisions of taxes, failed to overrule an increase on the property of which the alleys form a part. The board reduced from $l5OO to $lOOO the assessment increase placed on the building by C. Otis Cromer, borough assessor. Cromer, in supporting the in crease, has indicated that at the current rate of 62 mills, the taxes on the property will rise only $62 during 1952.
