O'Connell (R- Luzerne) announced recently that he has received a supply of tax relief forms for rent paid during both the 1972 and 1973 taxable years for senior citizens, and for property owners, as well for 1973, which office at: P. O. Box 3, House of Representatives, Main Capitol Building, Harrisburg, Pa., 17120. Rep. O’Connell pointed out that Act 136, which was signed into law last month, provides tax relief on rents and removes the biggest single inequity of the original Senior Citizens’ Tax Area Scout Council Plans Safety Program Cub Scouts in this area will take part in a new annual ac- tivity emphasizing bicycle safety, Richard Albrecht, coun- cil executive of the Penn Moun- tains Council, Boy Scouts of America, announced recently. During the month of May, Cub Scout dens and packs will hold bicycle clinics and bike ro- deos, Mr. Albrecht said. Details are now being completed to make available to packs such recognition items as bicycle de- cals and neckerchief slides. “We're making bicycle safety part of the Cub Scout program as a needed effort to help offset the rising accident rate for bike drivers aged 5 to 14,” Mr. Al- brecht explained. ‘The program, which will be available to all youth in the neighborhood of each pack, will teach a youngster how to keep his bicycle in safe condition, how to drive a bicycle safely, and to know traffic signs and rules of the road,” he summed up. REO NOVO MW SEE wl =. Kingston Relief Act which covered only homeowners, not renters. The law provides retroactive rebates for senior citizen renters for 1972, as well as for the current 1973 taxable year. The 120th District legislator said, **the law now acknowledges that individuals who rent their homes do in fact pay property taxes, and are entitled to the same break their more fortunate peers are receiving.” The law now recognizes that one fifth of the individual’s total annual rental payment goes for property taxes, and as such should be subject to the same relief provisions in the original bill. Explaining, Mr. O'Connell said, ‘‘beginning this year a senior citizen who pays $1,200 a year rent would have a base of $240 annually to be considered for relief payments. “Based on the income limita- tions provided in the original bill, the renter could be: eligible for as much as $200 rebate at the end of the year. Those income limitations are graduated and provide that an individual with a gross income up to $2,999 would be eligible for a maximum of $200 rebate or 100 per cent, which ever is less. The upper income limitation covers $7,000 to $7,499 and provides for a 10 per cent return of the established rental base. The 1972 rebate schedule ranges between $999 for 100 per cent to $6,000 to $7,499 for ten per cent. Rep O'Connell said the new law provides that renters-senior citizens, widows, and widowers, over 50 years of age or per- manently disabled-will be handled in the same manner as property owners in the same classifications. “The same application form will be used for both property owners and renters and, if eligible senior citizens should write my office; the necessary form will be mailed to them, ‘ Mr. O’Connell added.
