Kingston Township budget announces no tax increase, by SARA J. LUNDBERG Managing Editor The Kingston Township Supervi- sors had the first reading of their * budgetlast Friday, and announced that there would be no tax increase in 1989 because of a considerable increase in estimated revenue for the upcoming year. Estimated revenue for 1989 was up by over 20% from 1988, from $706,673 to $861,655. Kingston Township Manager Jeffrey Box said that the increase in revenue can be attributed both to the development in the area and the fact that high pricedhousing has brought in people with higher income tax brackets. The estimated revenue is broken down by several components with the main sources of income being real estate taxes ($64,460 for 1989, up from approximately $50,000 in 1988, and Act 511 taxes which includes per capita tax, real estate transfer tax, and earned income tax. The estimated revenue derived from Act 511 tax accounts for the highest jump from last year, up to $696,500 from $525,000 in 1988. Kingston Township tax rates are as follows: real estate tax, 5 mills; per capita tax, $5.00 per person ages 18-65, earned income tax 1.5%, and real estate transfer tax 1/2 of 1%. | The 1989 budget also includes several capital improvement proj- ects, according to Box. Storm drainage projects will be undertaken on Center Street and Franklin Streets. Paving projects include Center Street, Franklin Strest, Circle Drive and Howell Road. The fundings for these project will cone from a combination of general func and state liquid fuels tax funds. The budget provides for the Township's portion of the funding for the planned improvements to Center Street Park. The budget has $30000 in general funds slotted for the park, and a matching grant from the Department of Community Af- fairs will be used toward the recrea- tional facilities at the park. “The Supervisors are currently reevaluating their plans for the Certer Street Park. The bids that added revenue for 1989 were received for the improvements were in the $100,000 range, sub- stantially higher than the township can afford for the project,” said Box. Box said the supervisors either have to scale back the Center Street Park project or cancel the planned improvements, which they do not wish to do. A motion will be made on the 1989 budget at a public meeting December 14 at the Kingston Town- ship Municipal building.

The task force consisted of officers from Nanticoke City, Hanover Twp., King- ston Twp., Lehman Twp., Plymouth Twp., and Pa.
