Categories which must be entered
before a rating of Master can be

Vote Down Wage
Tax In Advance
Of Public Outcry
Lehman Directors Bow
To Tax-Payers Protest,
Face Millage Increase
Within five minutes after the
Lehman School Board met in special
| session Monday night, the unpala-
table salary and earned income
tax of 1% had been voted down
unanimously by the directors. But
the meeting lasted for another hour
and a half, while residents voiced
their disapproval of a measure that
had already been killed.
Bruce Williams, president of the
board, explained that millage
would undoubtedly have to rise to
fill the gap between income and
outgo, probably from the present
45 to an estimated 75 to 77.
Anthony Toluba, Idetown, speak-
ing for the Tax-Payers Association,
said that there were two classes
of citizens in Lehman Township, a
class taxed to the hilt, and another
class getting away with murder.
And he cited the case of the owner
of a $30,000 home, assessed at
$600. ‘Assessments, he said, were
very lopsided. It looked, he said,
as if there were considerable
feather-bedding.
Thomas Heffernan rose to state
that Luzerne County assessments
seem very inaccurate, and drew
| applause from 250 embattled citi-
| zens.
Mr: Williams replied that a year
and a half ago, the board had
urged release of reassessment, fig-
ures, again in January of this year,
| and yet again in May. No final
| figures
have yet been released,
though assessors have been busy
in the area.
Charles Miner, school board soli-
citor, stated that 590 school dis-
tricts in Pennsylvania and over
1,000 municipalities had already
passed a salary tax of 1%, and
found that it raised a substantial
amount of revenue without too
great hardship.
The murmur which greeted this
statement was indicative of the
fact that nobody was interested
in other areas, it was the Lehman
area which was being discussed.
And further, they wondered why
they needed a new school.
John Hewitt, Lehman School
Authority, stated that reports to
the contrary, the school which
had been designed was not an ela-
borate structure; that it contained
plans for no swimming pool, just
the facilities mandated by the State.
On June 6, he went on, the
Authority will open all bids, and
lay all cards on the table. There
would then follow sixty days for
acceptance or rejection of bids.
To a bitter inquiry, “Well, when
we get finished building this one,
will we find we have to build a
couple more?”
“Hope sp,” said Mr. Hewitt,
“hope this' area is going to keep
right on growing, with lots of peo-
ple moving out here from the city.
This is a good country, and we
want the sort of people here who
are interested in good schools and
good education.”
“What do you think about the
price of the land for the new
school?” was fielded neatly by Mr.
Hewitt.
“It’s not out of line at all,” he
replied. “Land values are my
business.”
Bruce Williams summed it up:
“If you people will keep on com-
plaining to the Court House, in-
vestigating at the Court House, and
airing your findings, maybe we can
get something done on reassess-
ment. Could be the State will offer
some relief on school expenses. But
you've got to bear in mind that
annual raises for teachers are man-
| dated by the State, and the State
requires a good school building if
| it is to go ahead with help in con-
struction.”
‘What nobody in the group men-
tioned,is something not generally
accepted by tax-payers confronted
with unexpected increases: Tax-
payers are the State; legislators are
elected by tax-payers. .
To a question, “How long will this
ban on levying of a wage tax last?”
Mr. Williams replied, “One year.
| The question may be raised again
next year. But obviously, Lehman
Township is not yet ready for a
wage tax.”
Did Anybody Take Movies
Of Last Year's Parade
Warren Mekeel, secretary of Back
Mountain Horseman's Club and gen-
eral chairman of the Fourth of July
parade in Lehman,” asks that any-
body who took movies of last year’s
parade, get in touch with him. He
would like to show movies at the
next meeting in the Fire Hall at
Lehman, set for June 13 at 8 p.m.
in order to obtain guidance for this
year’s line of march.
To date, entries include Lake-
Lehman band, antique cars, horse
drawn vehicles including the surrey
with the fringe on top, and for the
first time Back Mountain 4-H Horse-
shoe Club, which plans a mounted
entry and a iloat.
