Lake Township To Appeal Road Case Decision Handed Down by Dauphin County Court To Be Carried To Higher Courts Appealing the verdict handed down August 1, 1932 by Judge William M. ; Hargest in the Dauphin county courts cin’ favor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in its claim for $20,949.- 66 from Lake township. for road con- struction in that township during the ‘period from 1920 until 1927, Lake township is preparing to carry its case io the Supreme court through its At- torney, Granville . Clark = of Wilkes- ~ Barre, * The history of the case is an inter- esting one and is similar to one in Delaware township where $12,441.11 is : ~ being sought by the State and in Dal- las township where the State seeks to ‘recover $984. as the township's share : in maintainance of State aid roads. Between the years 1919 and 1927 the ~ Commonwealth of Pennsylvania per- formed work and supplied labor and 4 materials to maintain and: repair the ‘highway around Harvey's Lake and in other portions of the township, pre- viously maintained as State-aid high- ways under an agreement made with ~ the township in 1905 when the town- ship and county agreed to pay togeth- er one-fourth of the expense. The State bases its claim for fifty per cent of the cost of road construction on an act passed in 1911 which says that | fifty-per cent of the cost of the town- ship in which such roads lie.

E be- fore April 1 and accompanied by a Returns must be made on or check for the amount due, Secretary Metzger said. The Department can assess the tax where the taxpayer fails to make a return. The same power is given where the Department is not satisfied with the taxpayer's re- turn, or where the taxpayer refuses to permit the Department to verify the accuracy of the return. In certain of these cases, the law makes provision for the Department estimating the additional amount of tax to be paid, together with a 10 per cent. penalty, of the amoiint so asses- sed. There is no appeal from this as- sessment or penalty. The law provides but four exemp- tions. They are: sales by farmers of their own products; sales made to the United States Government; interstate commerce transactions, and sales for resale. A complete record of all tan- gible personal property must be main- tained during the six months the tax is in effect. This record also must be preserved for two- years after April 31. a FINEST CREAMERY 3 Butter 210s 43° Silverbroook Print Tomato Soup ume: 4cans25¢ A 1 Butter 2 ibs 47¢ Tomatoes Red Ripe 4 Cans 23¢ Tuna Fish LARGEST ‘SIZE CAN 21¢ 2 Cans 33¢ Smali—White—Soup BEANS 4 Lvs 9¢ ‘Delicious For Seups or Baking ~ l= Lean—Smoked PICNICS 2 ibs 1%¢ In Our Meat and Grocery Stores Alaska—Pink Salmon, 2 tall cans 19¢ Gelatin Dessert Sparkle ~ 4 pkgs 25¢ Quaker Maid Baked Beans 3 cans 13¢ With Pork or Vegetarian BBE Kellogg's Corn Flakes SPECIAL FRIDAY Grandmother’s Hot Cross BUNS ss: 10¢ Waldorf TOILET PAPER 3 rolis 1 0¢ MACARONI SPAGHETTI NOODLES .

Must Pay April : Sees Reforesting As Solution For Usina Idle Liand on is the single solution e land problem in Pennsyl-: Dr. E. A. Ziegler, director of the Forest Research Institute, Mount Alto, asSerts, in Bulletin 51 ,a recent publication of the Department of For- ests and Waters. Four million acres, or one-seventh of the entire State area, are idle and should be put to work, becaus€ this huge acreage of non-productive land is increasing county tax sales to a de- gree that is alarming, it is pointed out. According to Dr. Ziegler, it is the duty of the State to assume leadership in reforesting the idle land in the Com- monwealth, particularly some two million acres of abandoned cleared farmland. He proposes a program of State-wide reforestration under the leadership of the Commonwealth, with counties and municipalities encour- aged to take part in the movement. More than three and one-half mil- lion acres have been abandoned by Pennsylvania farmers during the past quarter century. The 1930 United States census reported that during the five-year period 1925-1930, open farm land was being dropped from agricul- tural use at the rate of 108,000 acres per year. 4 $100,000,000 Normally Pennsylvania consumes about 1,900,000,000 board feet of lum- ber each year and less than one-sixth of this amount is cut within her bor- ders. As much as $100,000,000 worth of wood is bought outside the State in normal by our people annually vears. Dr. Ziegler believes that Pennsyl- vania’s idle land can be reforested as He compares the problem in Pennsylvan- a self-liquidating public work. ia to that in New York State where the legislature has pledgd $1,000,000 a year for the next twenty years to re- tain its idle lands and restore its for- est industries. He believes that a ten-year plan of State-wide reforestration in Pennsyl- vania would in years to come support many forest industries that are now dle or abandoned and would give con- siderable work to unemployed labor, as well as help decrease the rapid rise of tax delinquency in many of our counties. The bulletin “Reforesting Pennsyl- vania’s Idle Land as a Self-Liquida- ting Public Work” is available for free distribution from the Department of Forests and Waters, at Harrisburg.

Tunkhannock Six Local School Districts in One (Continued from Page 1.) Pennsylvania, being more efficient and economical and giving better as- ‘surance of equal opportunity for {children in rural districts. In-brief, the larger unit, as the new code stands; means that existing School districts of less than 5000 population would be ‘merged to form districts, so far as practible, of 5000 to 11,000 population, with a single board of nine directors to conduct the affairs of the resulting larger district. Every existing district of 10,000 or more would remain as it is. Newly set up districts of less than 11,0000 popula- tion would be known as districts of the fourth class. The present 2587 districts would be reduced to approxi- mately 500. The principle of the unit also would provide bases for more equitable distribution of State aid, it is said. : More Local Control Approval of the larger ciple has come from many vania men and women not ed with schools or school adminis- tration. The Educational Commis- sion includes representatives of tax- payers, argicultural, civic and com- mercial organizations, the fields of finance, law, and’ business, and fed- eral and state government. The larger unit would place admin- tration of consolidated school districts affairs into the hands of a greatly re- duced number of directors having a larger degree of local control, Doc- tor Rule says. ! The existing larger, well-organized, ed districts ability to manage their own school af- fairs. While publicity the larger 1 unit prin- Pennsyl- associat- and eficiently operat- have demonstrated their has been unit principle for the exact set- up that appears in the new code was not worked out until recently and was first announced when the recodifica- tion of school laws was presented to the Legislature as a new School Code on February 6. This has given rise to a number of misinterpretations and misconceptions of the actual propos- al, chiefly on the belief that it will necessitate increased building opera- tions and transportation costs. Mistaken Ideas Prevail Doctor Rule says this is not the case, and is quoted as follows: “Some have mistakenly interperted the plan as requiring the consolida- tion of schools, the transportation of children long distances by busses, the abandoning of present buildings and the erection of new school plants. “The plan involves none of these. Such matters are left to the discre- iton of the directors of the largerunit ag they are now to directors of pre- sent districts. The plan in essence provides for consolidation of admin- istration of schools approximately given to Pennsyl- vania for almost a year, in the hands of one-fourth officials as at the present time with a larger degree of local control.” Members of the Legislature have been asked by Doctor Rule for their criticisms and those of their consti- tuents, which he believes will be hep- ful in ‘revealing its merits and and needed adjustments to make the plan fully serve the needs of your schools.” Suggested outlines _of districts erected on the new code requirements are be- prepared in tentative groupings for information of citizens in the var- ious counties. These will not be final, since authority to establish larger dis- trict lines is vested in the State Coun- cil of Education, if and when the larger unit is provided through legis- lation. as many ing Orange And Lehman Meet In Final Games| (Continued From Page 1.)
