ie a EA EL RR RR RE ER ui ror = it 2 3 By R.A. R. This bit of information needs to be passed along right now! ®e 6 +o These are the days that the school boards throughout the Commonwealth — including Donegal — are making plans for the new school year, ee © eo If there are people who have interests which involve the “including” or the ‘“‘ex- cluding” of items of expense in the budget, now is the time to speak up. ® oo +o Too often taxpayers wake up to the facts of budgetry too late, Sometimes it is too late to “stop” an expenditure or expenditures. Sometimes it is too late to recommend a project. ® © © So — be warned! ® © © It’s well worth noting that in last week’s issue of The Bulletin, the Mt. Joy borough published its annual Auditor’s Report. ee © o This is a financial statement, made to the people of this borough of the way taxes and other revenues were collected and how they are spent. Other valuable information is included. ® & o So important is” this pub- lication of information to tax- payers that the Common- wealth of Pennsylvania, by law, requires such printing. ® © o : It also is worth noting that this year the borough is not revealing as much informa- tion as it has in other years. 2 © oo The report of 1970 is some- what abbreviated. A number of important items are ‘“lump- ed” together, instead of item- ized, ee eo e This is not to imply that there is any violation of the law or any reason to doubt or challenge the report. But, what we are saying is that the citizens of the borough are getting a “shortened” pub- lic accounting of the 1970 spending of Mount Joy funds. ® © =o And, one more thing about financial reports to the people -—Some communities, these days, instead of reporting less information to the people, are inclined to give those who pay the bills an expanded and more de- tailed version of the financial situation — where the money comes from and where it is spent.
