PROPOSED TAX OM UTILITIES
Tyrone borough aad water department officials have registered
a protest at Harrisburg against the
proposed legislation which would
impose a special tax upon all
eipaliy awne^nt^jasja
Fitzpatrick, chairman of the water
committee, and J. Scott Hommer
and Ernest J. Anderson Of the water
department, were in Harrisburg this
week where they protested against
the proposed legislation.
While the details of the legislation are lacking it is understood
that the state proposed a tax on ail
municipally owned utilities which
would vitally affect the people of
Tyrone through the owning of the
water works.
If the bill te passed it would undoubtedly mean aa increase in water rates in Tyrone, something the
borough officials wish to avoid.
Since acquiring the water works the
borough had reduced the rates and
further reduction is planned. At
present the bonded indebtedness te
being -rapidly reduced, but a tax
would either increase the rate or
prevent reduction of toe bonded indebtedness sa rapidly aa the borough officials desire, the latter said.
Should this proposed bill to tax
utilities run the legislative gaunlet,
Bellwood borough would come in
for tax on ite water works. Today
the plant renders a neat sum for
the borough exchequer. It is publicly owned by all of the citisens of
the borough. Just in whose fertile
mind tbe scheme originated to tax
public water works and other utilities te not known, bnt the taw-mak-
ers ahould crack down bard on aay
attempt to place a tax on such a
vital necessity SB water.
