JACK HILSHER Post Correspondent Dallas Borough Council presi- dent Don Cooper said at the April 19 meeting that a seeming in- crease in vandalism in the bor- ough is cause for concern.

Making a difference in the POST PHOTO/GRACE R. DOVE Juvenile nabbed for setting fire Kingston Township police have arrested a male juvenile who they say set a fire April 17 in a building at the Center Street park. Sergeant Michael Moravec said that the boy had forced open the door of the building housing the restrooms and a storage area and had lit newspapers in the storage area. The resulting fire, which had probably been smoldering for several hours, burned a hole through the men's room wall, damaged shelving and melted plastic pipes, Moravec said. Firefighters had to break open the building's skylights in order to vent the fire, Moravec said. The fire was discovered by patrolmen Robert Weiss and Wade Curtis, who saw the smoke while on a routine patrol. Trooper Andy Petros of the Pennsylvania State Police fire marshal's office assisted in the investigation. Damage estimates were not available. 50 G07 al co.

The meeting, which will feature state legislators and other public officials, is slated to take place beginning at 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 11 on the campus of Penn State in Lehman. Speaking and taking questions will be state representatives Phyl- lis Mundy and George Hasay, and Lisa Baker from State Senator Charles Lemmond's office. Mr. Lemmond will be unable to at- tend, but has arranged for the appearance of David Atkinson, executive assistant to Senator Robert Jubelirer, who introduced the Senate version of a tax reform bill. Mr. Atkinson played a major role in crafting that bill, which is now receiving public hearings in the senate finance committee. Officials from all Back Moun- tain municipalities and the Dal- las and Lake-Lehman school dis- tricts also have been invited to attend. The program will be mod- erated, and questions from the audience will be taken when speakers have completed their presentations. The overriding purpose of tax reform legislation is to provide counties and municipalities the opportunity to shift some of the burden of local taxation from property to income and/or sales taxes. Senate bill 182 would allow counties to adopt up to a 1% income tax, a 1% net profits tax, a 1% sales tax, or any combination of the three. Nearly all the new revenue would have to be used to Prince of Peace antique show May ri al The 42nd annual Prince of Peace Antique Show and Sale will be held Tuesday, May 3, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Wednesday, May 4, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Parish House of the Prince of Peace Epis- copal Church, Main Street, Dal- las. Co-chairpersons this year are KathiFlackand Tilly Weaver.

In addition, school districts would be allowed to impose up to. a 1% income tax, reducing other" taxes by an amount equal to thet new revenue. A House bill would allow up. 46 ; a 2% income tax by school dis-. | tricts, but lower levels of county god income and sales taxes. Lag Under the House bill, a public] referendum can be held to allow a county's voters to accept or rejeet the revised taxation scheme. If. the plan is adopted by referen- dum, future tax rate increases can be made without a public vote. A county also may adopt the new tax plan by resolution, but'in that case, each subsequent tax rate increase must go before the. voters. , It is expected that once deh’ bill moves through its respective chambers, the two will be com- bined in conference before be-. coming law. At that point, the. differences will be reconciled into." a new bill. The forum will be held in thé Fortinsky - Auditorium at the Center for Technologyonthe Penn + State campus.
