One of the aftermaths of the primary election, which has local connections, is the concern the county profes- sional politicians express pri- vately about Dr. Newton Kendig's victory on the Re- publican ticket for a place on the ticket this fall. ® ® Oo The Mount Joy doctor ran without the endorsement of the party organization — and won. Such a thing just does not happen. Or, at least it has not been happening. The con- cern centers around a ques- tion which could well be simply stated—*‘“Are the par- ty faithful beginning to Kick over the traces?” ®e © o Or, another way, “Are the party faithful as faithful as they once were?” ® ® o The system is the system and we doubt that there will be a change. But, Dr. Ken- dig’s win was spectacular and it is little wonder the party leaders have some con- cerns, e ® oe With this issue, the Mount Joy Bulletin begins its 71st year of publication, @ ® oe Founded by John E.

School Tax Up 2 Mills Based on a proposed bud- get of nearly $3 million, Don- egal district property owners will pay an increased tax rate of two mills next year. At its monthly meeting, held Thursday night, May 20, in the Donegal high school library, the School Board ten- tatively adopted its new bud- get and set tax rates to raise the funds necessary. To raise the local portion of the proposed budget, the district proposes to levy the following taxes: 1.—A 69-mill tax on real estate, 2.—A $10 per capita tax 3.—A three quarters of one percent earned wage tax. 4 —A one percent tax on real estate transfers, The only change from the rates of last year is the in- crease in the real estate tax. Although tentative budgets seldom are changed, it will be 30 days before the board can take final action. On Mon- day, June 21, at noon, the board will hold a special meeting, expectantly, to take that final action.

Dattisman and will undergo open heart surgery next week at the University of Pennsylvania hospital. A deaf mute, she hopes to enter school for special training in the fall, In the meantime, the pro- posed budget is on display at the Donegal school office and may be examined by any citizen. Increase of the real estate tax from 67 to 69 mills was accomplished despite the fact the new votech school system will cost Donegal district ap- proximately $80,000. All that amount must be raised by the local taxpayers. Each mill of taxes on real estate raises about $12,000, based on a district evaluation of $12,464,950. Thus, the two- mill increase raises $24,930. Last year the district’s bud- get was $2,714494. Next year the total is $2,962,267. One of the principal increa- ses in budgeted items is in salaries, which move up $68,- 000 — from $1,568,900 to $1,637,205.
