Acme Gets Face-Lifting
Dallas Acme Market is getting the
new look. Folks who have been
accustomed to finding baked goods
along the side wall, will now find
bread and = pastry, backed up by
mirrors, along the front, just as they
come into the store. The fruits and
vegetables have taken a long stride
toward the front, and a much en-
larged frozen foods display will take
their place.
The new meat counter has been
in operation for about two weeks,
a higher and roomier display case.
Herbert Ward, manager, says the
market is going to be really up to
date when improvements are com-
pleted. There will be no interrup-
tion of service.

For County Home
Dear Editor:
A study of the cost of Tax Col-
lection in Luzerne County based
upon the reports of the collectors of
all municipalities for 1959 the latest
year for which all reports are avail-
able reveals some interesting com-
parisons.
First: The four cities of Wilkes-
Barre, Hazleton, Pittston and Nanti-
coke, where the city maintains a tax
collection office, collected a total of
$8,279,789.00 with compensation
paid to 4 collectors totalling $17,-
500.00, plus some clerical help the
cost of which is not given in the
report referred to.
However, to equal a 1% cost these
4 / cities would have to maintain
clerical staffs costing an additional
$65,297.00; or to equal the cost of
1.3% in the largest Borough of
Kingston their clearical staffs would
have to cost an additional $90,137.00

Tax Collection Savings Could Pay
In Forty Youn
s By STANLEY W. CASHMARK
over and above the $17,500.00 ogst
| of 4 collectors.
Second: Taking the Beto
some interesting contrast is shown.
Kingston collected $1,289,719.00
at a cost of $16,893.00 or 1.3%, the
best performance among all the
boroughs.
Three boroughs, Forty Fort, West
Pittston and Plymouth, collected
or 2%.
000.00 to
boroughs of ‘W. Hazleton, Edwar:
ville, Ashley, Larksville and Exeter,
collected” only slightly more or
$1,192,838.00 at a cost of $35,708.00
or 3%:
Interesting to note in connection
of the first 3, West Pittston’s collec-
while that of Forty Fort $377,439.00
cost $7,150.00. Looking at the second
Larksville of $223,882.00 cost by far
the ‘most $9,354.00 or 4.17%
boroughs.
Third: In the smaller boroughs the
six collecting from $100,000.00 to
$200,000.00,
Swoyersville,
918.00 at a cost of $28,885.00 or
3.4%.
smallest collection in Dallas of $1
310.00 at a cost of $4,769.00 ¢
ceeded by $179.00 the $4,590.00 cost
boroughs of the county.
Interesting here too,
$154.00 apart in collections - with
Swoyersville the lower amount, yet
costing $1,126.00 more. Also that
Duryea and Luzerne were but $557.
apart in collections yet Luzerne. the
lower, cost $1,663.00 more.
Fourth: The eight boroughs col-
lecting from $50,000.00 to $100,000.
namely “W. Wyoming, Avoca, Du-
pont, Sugar Notch, Nescopeck,
Shickshinny, Conyngham and White
Haven, collected $526,033.00 at a
cost of $22,789.00 or 4.3%. Of inter-
‘est in this group is that Dupont
collected $4,583.00 more than Sugar
Notch which cost $802.00 more to
collect; while Nescopeck collected
$5,758.00 more than Shickshinny at
$632.00 less cost to the borough
Fifth: The highest group percent-
age cost of 4.4% was reached in a
group of 4 small boroughs, Hughes-
town, Pringle, Warrior Run, and
Laurel Run, collecting $116,608 at, a
cost of $5,049.00. AL
Sixth: In the group of 6 smsalle of
boroughs, namely Courtdale, Jeddo,
Laflin, New Columbus, Nuangolay
and Yatesville collections total
$56,477.00 at a cost of $2,356.00 or
4.3%.
Seventh: In the Townships, the
four first class townships of Han-
over, Newport, Plains and Wilkes-
Barre collected $1,656,990.00 at a
cost of $35,939.00 or 2.1%. Inter-
esting to note here is that the cost
in Wilkes-Barre Township of $6,054.
to collect $112,608.00 was 5.37% the
highest cost in the county. In Han-
over the 1960 figure was not re-
ported.
Bighth: Among second class town-
ships, 32 in number with 1960
figures on 3, no collection cost for
one and neither collection or cost
from one other, the gross collection
of $1,935,831. 00 cost $72,522.00: or
3.7%.
Interesting in connection with the
townships is that the four first cla
collected only $367,271.00 mor,
than Kingston yet the cost was $19-
046.00 more, while 32 second class
townships collected $646,112.00
more than Kingston at $55, 629.00)
greater cost.
Summarizing, it would seem four
cities collected $446,000.00 less than
all the rest of the county in which
the total cost was $237,953.00 or
2.7%. Now if it is assumed the four
cities do maintain clerical staffs
costing $90,137.00 to equal the 1.3%
cost of Kingston, then if the taxes
collected in the whole county outside
of the cities, namely $8,725,998.00,
were collected at the 1.3% cost of
Kingston Borough, but through a
single county office the cost would
be $107,637.00 as against $237,-
953.00 or a clear saving of $130,000.
annually.
Every ten years that this costly
system of tax collection is main-
tained costs an unnecessary $1,3
000.00 In 40 years the saving would
more than pay for the County Home.
Yet there are those who say there
is no area in which government cost
can be trimmed in the common in-
terest, and this is only a small deal.
This saving naturally cannot be
realized ‘without Legislative action.
It is hoped the report of the Penn-
sylvania Economy League to be
issued soon will project this and
other possible savings on a state-
wide basis.
Contradicting the poet who said
the sorriest words are these “It
might have been,” I believe the
sorriest are those we hear end-
lessly, “What can one man do?”.
One man, which means every man
and every woman who pays taxes
can think, and better start thinking
independently and quickly, for un-
less we do, seized as those in public
office on every level seem to be
seized in a paroxysm of tax mad-
ness, we might have to console our-
selves with the poet’s words, “It
