To Override
Burgess' Veto
New Tax Ordinance
Will Be Necessary
To Establish Rate
Town Council at a monthly
meeting Wednesday night
sustained Burgess Edmund K.
Williams' veto of the tax or-dinance
and for the first time
in its century-old history Con-shohocken
is without a tax
rate. Unless further action in
establishing a satisfactory tax
rate is immediately taken it
will bfj impossible to have the
1950 tax duplicate in the
hands of the tax collector in
time to begin collection on
July 1.
The motion, made by Mr. Row-land,
to pass the ordinance over
Burgess Williams' veto lacked four
votes of a two-thirds majority of
council, required by law, for passage
over the vito
FOI'R VOTES LACKING
Tt.c matter did not come up for
consideration until shortly before

Adams, Heed and O'Connor had
asked to be excused, ostensibly to
report for work at midnight, leav-ing
only ten of the thirteen mem-bers,
originally present. In attend-ance,
to vote. The vote on the mo-tion
resulted as follows: To adopt
the ordinance over the veto—Mes-srs.
Brunl. Erb, Oabin. Rowland,
Sutler. President Capaldi—6. To
sustain the veto—Messrs. Plero,

of the ten necessary to give
two-thirds majority.
Whm the tax ordinance was ft
presented to council it provided for
a tax rate of 16 mills for general
borough purposes and two and
three-quarter mills for debt service,
a total of 171. mills representing, a
reduction of a1-, mills under last
year. The ordinance passed the first
and second reading without a dis-senting
vote. When the ordinance
came up for third and final read-ing,
some councilmen wanted the
rate increased by one-quarter mill

Water Board, to provide secondary
treatment of the borough sewage
Mr. Shulta opposed the Increase
When the document was presented
for third and final reading hut 'vote
