MARCH 22. 1960 Citizens Ask Council For Tax Boost Citizens, representing 36U petitioners, asked State Col lege Borough Council last night for a real estate tax in crease. They said they would pay a 4-mill increase rather than let the school board lose their extra 15 per cent of the wage tax. Council in making their budget had avoided raising the real es tate tax by taking their fair share, 50 per cent, of the wage tax. The citizens, led by the League of Women Voters, said that the school board should have the 15 extra per cent of the wage tax because it was easier for the council to tax and raise money, since the school board had to also rely on other counties. They also said that under the' 1961 reassessment of county prop-j erty by the County Commissioners the borough would benefit if real estate taxes were raised this year. If the borough should want to increase taxes in 1961 after the reassessment they would be limit ed to a 5 per cent increase over the millage of the previous year, under Pennsylvania law. Citizens said if taxes were in- | creased this year, council would j be able to raise more money j if it were needed. { Councilman P. J.
