Edgeworth Levies Vi% Wage Tax For 1960
Walter K. McPherson Named To Fill Term of Late A. O. Pearce
Edgeworth council, at its regular meeting on Monday, passed an ordinance levying die wage tax for 1960 at Vz%, the same rate as last year. Since die School board also levies a Wfo tax, the total wage tax for Edgeworth residents will be 1%. In 1958, the wage tax revenue was $16,740.67 for the borough.
Council appointed Walter K. McPherson of 305 Maple Lane to fill the unexpired term of the late A. O, Pearce, Since Mr. McPherson won at the November 3rd election, he will serve a full term of four years. Mr. McPherson, who has served the borough as a member and president of the Board of Health for a number of years, was sworn in by Burgess John C. Oliver, Jr.
Solicitor Evans Rose presented the
wagè tax ordinance, which levies the same tax at the same rate and under the same conditions as last year. Manager Robert Lunn explained that the borough formerly levied a %% tax, but the school raised theirs to %%. Residents of Edgeworth, who work in other communities than Pittsburgh, requested Edgeworth council to raise the borough rate to since they were paying Yi% to the communities where they worked. Pittsburgh’s tax is Yz% but most of the communities in this area levy a total of 1% divided between borough and school. In 1958, the wage tax brought in $16,704.67, according to the auditor’s report.
Walter K. McPherson, a retired contractor, has been a member of the Edgeworth Board of Health for forty years and has served as president for about three years. A long-time resident of. Edgeworth, he has had considerable experience in both residential and institutional building. He was appointed to serve the unexpired term of the late A. O. Pearce in time to have his name on the ballot at the November 3rd election. He was elected to the full four-year term which begins January 1, 1960. After he was sworn in Monday night, by Burgess Oliver, President Newton Chapin, who has been presiding since the death of Mr. Pearce, announced that he would be appointed to committee posts soon.
Councilman Frank Schroeder, chairman of tire sewage committee, turned over to die secretary a check for $11,578.43, as partial repayment of loans to the Leetsdale Municipal Authority. He also tinned over the 35 documents relating to the bond closing. The Authority still owes the borough about $9,000.
Solicitor Rose stated that the closing of the borough’s bond issue at $140,000 would be on either Monday or Tuesday of next week. A motion was passed to invest the money in 30, 60 and 90 government securities, pending a decision on when to turn the money over to the Leetsdale Authority. A letter will be sent to the Authority suggesting that the payment be made on July 1st, 1960, unless the Authority lias plans for using the money before that time.
A letter was received from the Edgeworth Volunteer Fire Company, stating that the company, at their own expense, had donated a Carbon-dioxide fire extinguisher to be carried in the trunk of the police car to be used in emergencies before the arrival of the fire truck. Usually, the police car arrives at the scene of a wreck or fire before the fire company and the C02 fire extinguisher may save a life.
