(Continued on Page 2) 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 (Continued on Page 6) Miss Anne Conway, exchange teacher at Warwick High, displays her family coat of arms.
