The $1.07 million general budget does not raise taxes but will allow increased funding for emergency crews over the current fiscal year. Both revenues and expenditures increased by $107,000 from last year. Despite the increase the real estate tax will remain at 5 mills, earned income tax holds at one percent and the real estate trans- fer tax stays at one-half of one percent. The township's police depart- ment, two fire companies and ambulance association will all be receiving more money from the municipality in 1991. The budget appropriates almost 23 percent of its expenditures to the police force, an increase of more than $12,000 from last year. Most of the appropriations will go to paying salaries of officers. Both the Trucksville and Shav- ertown fire companies will receive $5,500 each from the township. That is an increase of $1,500 from last year. The township ambulance association will also receive $5,500 from the municipality. £ EE EE EE 3 a Tf The township is expecting to offset the 11 percent increase in” spending by a corresponding rise in revenues.
