To drive nails, tacks, or staples, or to attach any metal or hard substance to or into any tree would be con-sid ered damaging someone else’s property and could be considered criminal mischief. Such violations are usually committeed by persons advertising garage sales or local events who are unaware of the law. Hicks would like to acquaint them with these restrictions and req u e st th e ir compliance.

Erwin was endorsed by the Manheim (Turn to Page 4) The budget suggested by the Warwick School Board for 1981-82 calls for an increase of 5.48 percent over last year with tentative budget expenditures listed at $7,705,364; an increase of $400,592 over last year’s $7,304,772 budget. Anticipated revenues for the school district are $6,559,695 and according to Dr. Jotin Bonfield, that projected dollar amount becomes more accurately predictable as the school year closes. To reach the tentatively budgeted figure, the District must find $1,145,669. Budget Breakdown The budget breakdown includes: administration, up 7.90 percent; instruction up 8.03 percent; pupil personnel services up 11.44 percent; health services up 8.42; pupil transportation up 14.54 percent; operation and maintenance of plant up 6.19 percent; fixed charges up 8.79 percent; food service up 17.48 percent; student activities up 8.53 percent; community services up 17.58 p e rc en t; in te rsy stem payments up 1.26 percent. Decreases are forecast in capital outlay, down 31.30 fn t h i s i s s u e Editorial . 4 . Sports Section 6,7,8,9 Classified 13,14,15 Social 18,19 Church 24 Business Directory 26 percent and debt service, down 10.78 percent. The local revenue is down .82 percent, state revenue up .20 percent and federal revenue down 13.28 percent, making total revenues down .60 percent. Total anticipated revenue is $6,559,695. Total expenditures are $7,705,364 making a proposed net defic it of $1,145.669. However, approximately $500,000 of that deficit will be made up with budgetary reserve of $200,000 and savings in fuel and transportation costs of over $300,000. The district is then left to make up a difference of $600,000 and anticipates an increase in taxes that must raise that amount. Taxes will be increased. The Warwick School Board is considering three means, or a combination of those three, of levying the taxes. There can either be an increase in the property tax, there can be the establishment of an occupational millage tax, or there can be the establishment of a construction tax. These means are still under discussion. Tax Possibilities Dr. Bonfield and members of the school board are fully aware that no one likes to raise taxes. “We are in a no win’ situation!,” Dr. Bonfield said, “and the best we can hope for is to hear from the citizens as to what programs and services they feel are unnecessary, so we can look into cutbacks there; or they can tell us that if the tax increase is required, what is the most equitable means to those capable of paying the tax.” If there is an increase in property tax, it will affect a number of people on fixed income and Dr. Bonfield explained, “we want to try to get the taxes from the wage earner, and stay away from fixed income.” On the other hand, many people feel that a property tax is the fairest means of raising revenue. It would, however, bring up the question of property assessment, ana would vary according to the number of mills to be raised. An occupational millage tax would be based on a schedule stipulated by the Lancaster County Board for th e A s s e s sm e n t and Revision of Taxes and last updated in 1973. That office provides a list by which each occupation is assessed, with no graduation as to the amount earned within a profession. For example, a certified public accountant or a dentist or a baker or an engineer would each be assessed at a specific amount with no provision for the amount they actually earn. (Turn to Page 2) Elizabeth Township Supervisors Quarrel Over Procedures, Communications The Monday night meeting of the Elizabeth Township Supervisors was characterized by dissension and disgust as board members quarrelled over failures in communications and differences of opinions. "Seems too many things are being done by one person lately,” Rodney May, chairman of the board, said prior to Monday’s meeting. Bickering and antagonism followed J. Russell Ober’s reading of correspondence. Supervisors May and Larry Wiker fenced with Ober in d is p u te s o v e r com-munciations among the supervisors, the proposed gravel filling of a ditch along Long Lane and a tax exemption case. The atmosphere of the meeting d e te rio ra ted rapidly, but the supervisors were able to agree on several points among the remaining agenda items. The supervisors approved the purchase of four new tires at a cost of $52 a piece for the township’s dump truck. The option of retreading or recapping the old tires was discussed, but, according to Wiker, the tires have already been retread and recapping the tires would cost nearly as much as buying new ones. The supervisors also agreed to increase the charge for copies from the township copy machine from 15 to 20 cents, comparable to the Post Office rates. In other action, the supervisors approved the purchase of a “Winding Road” sign for a cost of approximately $30. This and three other winding road signs, already owned by the township, will be installed on Long Lane and Reifsnyder Road. Zoning Officer’s Report The Zoning Officer reported the issuance of eight building permits during March for a total of $175,000. Two letters of violation of the township’s junk vehicle code were issued in March an d both r e c ip ie n ts (Turn to Page 2) Judge Dismisses WFCCESS Lawsuit The lawsuit brought by th e Warwick Township Citizens Committee For An E q u ita b le Sewer System (WTCCESS) against the Warwick Township Municipal Authority (WTMA), Garden Spot Construction Co. of Lancaster, and Lisbon Contractors Inc. of Danboro, PA, was dismissed Tuesday by the Court of Common Pleas of Lancaster County, PA, in an order handed down by Judge Wilson Bucher. In his Order, Judge Bucher determined that there was no merit to the action, that the p e titio n fo r a preliminary injunction must be dismissed, and that the amended complaint of the plaintiff (WTCCESS) be dismissed. Judge Bucher found that there was no credible evidence that the WTMA has committed any act of fraud, official misconduct, or a r b i t r a r y and capricious abuse of power or discretion. In a footnote to his Order, Judge Bucher indicated that since preparing his Order the plaintiff, by a letter dated April 4, 1981, requested the Court to dismiss its suit “without p re ju d ic e .” Judge Bucher has notified the plaintiff that the effect of his Order is a u ism is s ia l with prejudice and that plaintiff has the right to appeal to the Commonwealth Court within 30 days from the date of his Order. To have dismissed the s u it ‘w ith o u t prejudice” would have meant that WTCCESS could have refiled a similar suit at a later date. Ju d g e B u ch e r, however, in noting that he was dismissing the suit “with prejudice” was informing the committee that their only legal recourse was an appeal before Commonwealth Court. When contacted by the Record Express, R o b e rt S h a rk e y , spokesman for WTCCESS, said that the group will meet to discuss whether further action will be taken. He had no further comment at this time. To Be Held Saturday Texas-The Superstate’ Feature Of Final Rotary Travelogue WIMP0 Reschedules Meeting Because of Holy Week, the Warwick Instrumental Music Parents’ Organization (WIMPO) h a s rescheduled its regular monthly meeting to Tuesday, April 27 at 7 p.m. in the Warwick High School auditorium. “Texas—The Superstate” will tie presented Saturday, April 11 at 3 and 8 p.m. in the Warwick High School Auditorium. The program by filmmaker Stan Paulauskas will be the sixth and final in the Lititz Rotary Club’s 1980- 81 “Travel and Adventure Series.” Paulauskas grew up in the Cleveland, Ohio area. One first love was baseball since his home was next door to League Park and the Cleveland “Indians.” While traveling for a construction company in the supervisory c a p a c ity , he b eg an developing his passion for photography. During this time he visited South America, Puerto Rico and every state in the Union. Gradually traveling and photography began to be his primary interests. Paulauskas is particularly motivated to know and u n d e r s ta n d d if f e r e n t cultures in depth. When traveling and getting acquainted with a country, he tries to allow enough time for more than a cursory knowledge. While traveling in the U.S.S.R., Stan spent three months in Lithuania alone visiting relatives and at)sorbing the culture first hand. Equipped with the desire to know, Paulauskas also possesses the natural ability to communicate through film and narration the secrets he has uncovered.
