to the beauty of its wor­ship
and express the friendship
in the Lord which unites us”.

Borough Council at a meeting
last night adopted a proposed
budget for 1969 that includes a
$10, Occupational Privilege Tax,
The new tax will apply to all 21
years or older that work (gain­fully
employed) in the borough
and earn $1,000 or more a year.
It would become effective Jan.
1, 1969 and amounts to about
the same as a 3 mill increase on
real estate. Council estimated it
would produce $25,000. annual­ly.
The real estate tax at 12%
mills and the $10. per capita tax
will remain the same. This is
the first year in the past seven
that any new taxes were levied
by council.
Wage Increases
George Steedle, borough man­ager,
said the new revenue is
needed mainly because of in­creased
in police costs and wage
increases for boro pmo1o"p"~
Of the $36,000 additional ex-r>
pnses in the new budget
000 more than last year is for
police protection, $7,000 of
which' is allocated for a . fifth
police officer and'the remainder
for wage increases in the police
department. About % or .$12.*
328. represents wage increases
to all borough employees, who
ro. scheduled to receive about a
7% average increase.
Other major increases over
1968 costs include $2,000-. for
Improvements to borough offi­ces
$1,000. for police training;
$1.000. for fire department
nonitors: $2,000. for wage m-
"roases in the works (water ahd
sewer) Denartment; $7,500. for
a new backhoe and $5,725. for
partial repayment of a storm
drainage construction loan.
New Tax
Council is expected to ask the
cooperation of employers in col­lecting
the new job tax. The em­ployer
would withhold it from
all employees even though they
do not live in Lititz Borough. It
is similar to the tax Lancaster
Citv recently enacted.
Other than “gainfully em­ployed”
it was not made exactly
clear what income would be in-eluded
to make up the $1000
minimum. However, if a person
is already paying this tax to
another municipality he would
not also pay it in Lititz.
To a property owner living
and working in the borough it
amounts to about a 3 mill tax
increase.
Steedle said c o u n c i l w-as
reluctant to raise the real estate
millage because of an uncUie
burden on property owners He
said real estate taxes are esti­mated
to bring in only $2500
more m the new year and this
i. not enough to ott et weicdo
