There will be no increase in taxes. ‘It wlil be the 4th straight year the borough has not in- creased its 7-mill real estate tax rate. The $10 occupation- al privilege tax, the $5 per capita tax and the one-half of I per cent wage, tax, all en- acted within the past three years, will remain the same. The new budget will be on dispiay at the Borough Office for the next 15 days for pub- lic inspection. It is expected to be.enacted at the council's December. meeting. The budget is based on an- ticipated borough receipts of $265,000. This figure includes an estimated year-end bal- ance of $30,198. The biggest increase in the new budget are administra- tive expenses, $32,920, com- pared to- last year’s $24,690, and police department expen- ditures, $82,625, compared with $70,505 last year. Additional borough person- nel — a secretary to the bor- ough manager and a part time elerk — account for most of the administration in- crease. The police department costs include an expected capital outlay of $20,000 to update the traffic light sys- tem at five intersections in the borough. The expected property costs are down to $8,740 from last year’s $17,000, and the street department budget is down to $40,525 from last year’s $52,430. In other business, council accepted “with regrets” the resignation of Councilman Mahlon Young, who is mov- ing out of the borough. The resignation is effective -imme- diately. Council accepted a recom mendation by the Borough Planning Commission that Memorial Drive not be clos- ed.

The planners recommended instead that large signs read- ing “Park Area — 15 m.p.h. Speed Limit’ replace the present small signs and that the speed limit be enforced. Council adopted an ordin- ance raising the fine for dis- orderly conduct in the bor- ough from $10.to $30 and im- posing a. jail sentence of not more than 30 days for failure to pay the fine. - Council adopted a building permit fee schedule. There has been a flat fee of $5 for a building permit regardless’ of the building cost. The new schedule is: under $500—no charge; $500 to $1,000 — $1; over $1,000 — $5. Council said it feels the schedule will encourage more reporting of improvements by residents, since there ap- parently has been some re- luctance to pay a flat $5 for a low-cost improvement.
