Authority (HLMA) described why he felt the promised special Harveys Lake Borough council meeting was not held. Two members of council, Fred Merrill and Robert Wintersteen, about 30 lake re- siienis, and members OL Le press all scheduled May 24. Mr. Wintersteen re- side, even though his mother had re- ceived a call that reported that the meet- ing would not be held. The call came at 4 or 5 p.m.; Mr. Wintersteen did not know Lake-Lehman School Directors recent- ly approved a tentative budget for the upcom@s fiscal year which will boost the school district’s tax millage rate from 40 to 42 to provide funds for expenditures totalling $2,142,711. Last year, Lake- Lehman reduced its mill rate by four mills. According to Robert Z Belles, superin- tendent of schools, the budget remains the same except for increases which have been mandated by the state’s department of education. These increases include salary incre- ments and fringe benefits for teachers amounting to $60,650 (the total outlay for teachers’ salaries is listed at $851,000) and a $53,000 hike in the transportation category. The latter increase is a result of a new state law which provides for attending private schools and those who must walk to school along ‘‘hazardous’’ routes. Mr. Belles pointed out that there will be: state reimbursement in 1973-74 for this additional cost inasmuch as reim- bursement for transportation is received one year after services are provided. Increases in several miscellaneous categories also boosted the new budget above last year’s $1,967,886 figure. A new school bus with a price tag of $10,000; inflated costs of heating fuel and other utilities, and a new sanitary system will cost taxpayers extra money to run their In addition to monies from real estate taxes, Lake-Lehman will receive revenue from a $10 per capita tax and an earned Anticipated revenue includes an $1,088,390. Proposed expenditures include $86,361 for administration; $1,028,200 for instruc- tion; $36,800 for pupil personnel services; $22,400, health services; $210,200, pupil transportation services; $230,000, opera- tion and maintenance of plant; $150,200, fixed charges; $5,250, food services; $27,050, student activities; $3,350, com- munity services; $81,500, capital outlay; $151,500, debt service; $109,900, inter- system payments. A Greenstreet News Co. Publication Gloomy, unseasonable weather failed to dampen spirits in Sweet Valley and Dallas Monday, when throngs of spec- tators gathered to watch the annual Memorial Day parades. In Sweet Valley, the parade climaxed a weekend of festivities connected with the annual Memorial Day fair sponsored by the Sweet Valley Volunteer Fire Com- pany. The events began Friday evening at 6: 30 with a two-hour Enduro motorcyc- le show. The jumping and racing exhibi- tion took place at the Ross Elementary School grounds, as did the other fair activities. Following the race, Al Hess and the Sunshine Ramblers entertained the crowd with country and western music. Saturday’s program began at 3:30 in the afternoon with an all-western pony show, for which awards were given in ten categories, Musical entertainment followed the show, with a rock group playing for the teenagers from 5:30 to 7:30, and Johnny and the Rancheros pro- who had made the call. At the special meeting, a decision was to have been reached ¢. the HLMA-pro- posed mandatory-hookup ordinance. The ordinance would call for each borough re- sident to hook into the planned sewer sys- tem. HLMA representatives have refer- red to it as the last big hurdle before ac- tual work can be started on the system. The ordinance had not been voted upon at the regular borough meeting, May 10, because members of council and borough solicitor Joseph Kasper claimed they had not had time enough to study the or- dinance. The ordinance had only been read the day before, May 9, at the HLM A meeting, and copies did not reach the solicitor and members of council until that same day. Council chairman Thomas Cadwala- der, therefore, promised that a meeting would be held on or before May 24 to de- cide on the ordinance. He stated that if the meeting would be held before May 24, it would be advertised in the daily paper. A special meeting was set because many residents felt that a postpinement until the next regular council meeting, June 14, would endanger an important, HLMA- procured loan. (continued on PAGE SIXTEEN) Dallas Borough Council, at last Tuesday’s monthly meeting, again in- sisted that the Dallas Area Municipal Authority (DAMA) needs council ap- proval of any new policy that affects borough residents. They were specifi- cally concerned about approval of rate increases. recent DAMA announcement that sewer hook-up permit fees would increase to $250. The present fee is $150. The $250 charge will take effect Aug. 1. DAMA claims to need the increase because they are losing $6000 a year on installations. The authority reports that installation of laterals to each home costs DAMA $300. Dallas council feels that this increase needs to come to them for approval or disapproval following discussion. They argue that they approved a past DAMA bid, but not the $250 charge. They have instructed borough solicitor Charles Authority has.”’ ~ Council ‘chairman George Thomas made a point of noting that he is not “against the sewer system.’’ He said that he thinks ‘‘they have done a fine job; I just think they should do this next step right, too.” Council, which has unsuccessfully sought to have DAMA representatives attend their recent meetings, decided that “we will go to their meeting, if they won’t come to ours.” DAMA represen- tatives, who work without pay, argue that they are too busy to attend any meetings but their own. Councilman and head of the budget committee, Harold Brobst, reported that a revenue-sharing report must be sub- mitted to the Federal government by June 20. When another councilman had suggested a use for part of the revenue monies, Mr. Brobst said, “The budget committee should meet to determine how we will spend our revenue-sharing money, rather than bite at it a bit at a time like this.” (continued on PAGE SIXTEEN) viding the music from 8 to 10 p.m. At dusk, the Ripcords, a parachute team, thrilled the crowd with a skydiving exhibition. Memorial Day activities began with a western horse show at 10, Monday morning. Horses were judged in 14 differ- ent categories of presentation. The gala parade followed, with dozens of fire engines, floats, horses, motor bikes, the Lake-Lehman High School band, a mili- tary unit, and many more participants marching along the main road through Sweet Valley. While the parade was in progress, a helicopter flew overhead, giving rides to interested citizens. Night- time fog finally put an end to the helicop- ter rides, which were one of the most pop- ular events of the weekend. As youngsters scattered to claim bubble gum, candy and balloons tossed to them from firemen and service station owners in the parade, a panel of judges awarded cash prizes to eight floats. First prize in the ‘‘prettiest’’ category went to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Sodality for its members’ depiction of the May queen and her court. In second place was the float entered by the Sweet Valley Church of Christ, and in third was the ori- ginal design of Maple Grove MYF. Named ‘most patriotic’’ was the float entered by the Sweet Valley Service Station. Ross Township PTA and the Five Mountain 4-H Club finished second and third, respectively. The Cragle an? Son Texaco float was Barbara Ann Evans and Jo Ann Urick have been announced the top honor stu- dents of the Lake-Lehman senior class.
