DOVE Post Staff ~~ LEHMAN TOWNSHIP - The supervisors unanimously passed a 1996 budget of $417,200, with a 14-mill property tax and a spe- cial two-mill road machinery tax, at their regular December 18 meeting. Although the general fund budget increased by $41,200 or 10 percent from last year, the - road machinery tax accounts for $27,500 of it. Real estate and real estate transfer taxes are expected to increase by only $1,000 each, offset by an anticipated $2,000 increase in delinquent taxes. The earned income tax is ex- pected to generate $184,000, about 10 percent more than last year. A change in the second-class township code, which allows newly elected supervisors to receive $1,875 per year, will affect David Sutton, elected in November. Supervisors Douglas Ide and John Iwanowski will still receive $1,500 per year until they are re-elected. SecretaryJon Rogers and treas- urer Alvin Cragle will receive a total of $16,000, to be divided between them, Cragle said. Police chief Howard Kocher will earn $21,000, while $47,000 is budgeted for patrolmen’s salaries. An additional $1,500 has been budgeted for hand tools (minor equipment). A new truck is ex- pected to cost $53,000, which will be paid for from the two-mill road machinery tax, saving the tax- payers expensive interest pay- ments. The supervisors also appropri- ated $700 for the Back Mountain Memorial Library. “All dogs must have 1996 state licenses Pennsylvania dog licenses are now on sale for 1996 at all county treasurer's offices, according to Agriculture Secretary Charles C.
