Bartlett reported he had issued four building permits and two tem- porary permits during June and collected $62 in fees. The building permits were issued to Gary and Ryhle Stull for an above-ground swimming pool, Mark Slenzak on behall of Mrs. Julie Cellen for a two-tier open deck, James Reed for roof repairs and Raymond Sedorchuk for a three-foot high picket fence.

You can feel good about The Dallas Post School tax (continued from page 1) Noxen Township, Wyoming County, calculated at 108 mills, it's $540. “This tax is probably the way school districts will have to go in the future,” Hasay said. “The present real estate taxes are de- terring new construction. This tax will give people a choice in how they pay their school taxes. They should study it to determine their savings.” The estimates reflect only an average for the entire district. Actual figures for individual homeowners could vary widely. For example, Lake-LLehman's Luzerne County municipalities contain large amounts of unde- veloped land, whose owners often pay only $50 or $100 in real es- tate taxes, according lo district finance manager Ray Bowersox. The district could face another glitch with its Wyoming County residents, who are assessed at a different rate, he added. However the proposed new tax might not be as good as it looks. While Dallas, which collected $1,440,274 in earned income tax in 1995, will benefit, districts such as Lake-LLehman, which has more retired and low-income residents and collected $950,000 last year, may not. Representative Phyllis Mundy believes real estate tax reform should go further. “Tax reform is avery complex issue,” she said. “I would like to see some relief for ‘Number property tax bills ‘Number of income/per capita tax bills Collection rate ~ 1995-96 SCHOOL TAX COMPARISON LAKE-LEHMAN DALLAS $7,652,655 $1,440,274. $50, 000 $160,159 x 9.695 10.918: 94 percent $5.135 $811 $49, 783.00 $5, 712, 123 $950,000 $72,948 $19,418 $163,453 9,162; not available 91 percent $3,713 $791 $31,147 LakeLahman figures are for Luzerne County only. Wyarmivg County residents pay a different rate. municipal and county taxes as well.” A member of the House Education Committee, she is also concerned that the bill doesn't address the special problems faced by urban and rural districts. Senalor Charles Lemmond, a co-sponsor of both Senate Bill 2 and the Homestead exemption, noted that every municipality and school district is composed differ- ently and has different needs. Senate Bill 2 would allow the state's 501 school districts in 67 counties lo decide for themselves if establishing an income tax and reducing the real estate tax is appropriate. “If this is not the finished prod- uct, at least it's a start,” he said. “We need help and we are hopeful the General Assembly willaddress local tax reform.” QQ: Where do you find the most Back Mountain news each week?
