To Ask For
Rate Surcharge
The Denver and Ephrata Tele­phone
Co. has announced that it
will seek the approval of the
Public Utility Commission to add
a surcharge to -its bills beginning
in April to cover the new and in­creased
taxes levied on utility
companies by the state legisla­ture.
Mrs. Bertha B. Blair, president
of the company, stated that “It
is impossible to absorb these un­expected
tax liabilities, and that
the company has no other re­course
than to raise its charges .in
an amount sufficient to cover
these taxes.
“The exact amount of the sur­charge
will be determined after
the company furnishes support­ing
data to the PUC.” Mrs. Blair
continued. She estimated that the
increase would be about 5 or 6
per cent.
The Public Utilities Commis­sion
Wednesday announced all
telephone companies may levy a
5% surcharge because of the new
taxes.

Elizabeth S u p e rv iso r s
D e la y W a g e T a x V o te
Elizabeth Township supervisor
I. Luther Ober said Wednesday
the township supervisors will,
hold another meeting on whether
to take part of the one per cent
wage tax from Warwick School
District.
State law provides that either
a school district or township may
collect the one per cent wage tax
but that it must be shared if
both parties want it. !
About 40 persons were present
at a meeting Friday at Bricker-ville
Fire Hall to discuss the
Elizabeth Township tax proposal.
Elizabeth Township supervis­ors
opened the meeting with an
announcement they will ask for
only .3 per cent, instead of the
full ,5 per cent the township can
take.
But the debate which followed
primarily involved whether the
township needs any money at all.
Some residents said anticipated
revenues should be sufficient to
balance the budget, instead of
leaving the $10,000 to $15,000
deficit the supervisors had been
projecting,
Township plans to construct a
new township office and garage
building accounted for the fund
problem.
“You cannot spend what you
.have not budgeted, one audience
member declared. “You’re actual­ly
operating in the black, but
you’ve been telling the papers
you're in the red.”
Elizabeth Twp. Supervisors
Chairman Charles Strohm repli­ed
loans would have to be repaid.
These, totaling about $10,000 on
one occasion, $5,000 on another,
had been made when the town­ship
funds dipped precariously
low last year.
However, Richard Holier, sec­retary-
treasurer of the Warwick
Twp. Supervisors, told Strohm
his procedures were wrong, that
not all the loan would need to be
repaid at once, and that the
borrowing could have been avoid­ed
by more knowledgeable book­keeping.
“You may never borrow from
the state funds for general funds
purposes,” Hofier said. “But you
may borrow money from the gen-eral
fund, transfer it to-the state
account, then replace it when the
state funds come in — when
your tax receipts are in hand.
This is perfectly legal. It’s mak­ing
the transfer m any other
fashion that is not legal. And by
taking advantage of this proced­ure,
you avoid penalizing your
local taxpayers. They don’t really
have to foot all these bills direct­ly.”
Joseph Snavely, chairman of
the Warwick Twp. Planning Com­mission,
said he was disturbed
by the action the Elizabeth Twp.
Supervisors were attempting to
take by themselves. Snavely sug­gested
a joint meeting among
officials of the two townships
and Lititz Borough to discuss
mutual financial problems.
He added, “We’re trying to
be on your side, if you’ll let us.”
A floor vote was taken on the
proposed transfer to the town­ship
of the .3 per cent of the
wage tax. Among those voting
just one vote was cast in favor of
the measure, 22 opposed it. But
the action must be taken by the
supervisors.
Exchange Teacher Expects Shamrocks From Ireland
One of the ways the people of
Ireland commerate St. Patrick’s
Day is by sending Shamrocks to
their relatives living in other
countries around the world.
Warwick High School’s ex­change
teacher from Ireland,
Miss Anne Conway, will be a re­cipient
of several of these Irish
emblems which she plans to dis­tribute
to some of her friends.
In Ireland on St. Patrick’s Day,
Miss Conway disclosed, the entire
country has a holiday. Main
events of the day consist of
parades, a Galic football game
in Dublin and lots of dancing to
folk music.
She expects to celebrate the
event here with several of her
faculty colleagues. She resides
with two other teachers at 101
S. Broad St. and they refer to
themselves as Southern Pennsyl­vania
Dutch Irish.
Anne comes from a small vil­lage
called Beragh, located seven
miles from Omagh, in Northern
Island, where she taught In a
private girl’s school. Omagh, she
stated is about the same as Lit­itz.
Continuing in describing of her
country, she noted that the island
is 300 miles long and 250 mile
wide. The picturesque country­side
fascinates the tourists with
its hedge-lined winding roads.
“One never knows just what
they may encounter around the
