RESIDENTS Want
POLICE OFFICER
Marcus Hook Does Not Un-
deTStand Why Council
Can't Afford Ono

Marcus Hook. Dec. 3.-There are
many residents Of the borough who
cannot understand why Council can
not afford to have a salaried police
Officer. The plain facts Of the case
are as follows The yearly income OF
the borough is about $4,000 OF this
amount 81 100 has to be placed in the
sinking fund each year. The street
lamps cost about 81 600 each year; the
running expenses Of the borough hall,
including janitor's fees, ETC.. amount to
about $500 each year: the salaries cf
the borough officials total $50; sta
tionery, printing and incidental ex-
penses about $50; total $4,000. This
leaves about Si00 to be expended On
the streets, which is not sufficient.
FROM this statement It can be readily
seen that there is no money for an
officer.
