 The newly elected board of war den and burgesses have decided to ask that the appropriations for the ensuing year be increased the sum of s3,500. which will necessitate an increase in the rate of taxation by about one-half mill. The old board of warden and burgesses recommend cd that Is mill tax be levied, stat ing that they thought that enough revenue would be derived from this rate to carry on the ordinary busi- ness of the borough, but the new board thinks that the appropriation for contingencies should be increased s2,500 and the school appropriation be also increased by an extra sI,- 900. The adjourned annual meeting will be held Monday night and it is not at all unlikely that there will be some loud talk on the appropriations when they are brought before the freemen at this meeting. as it is probable that the new board will be called upon to show the reason for asking for more money to conduct the business of the borough than was thought necessary by the board who was supposed to be in closer touch with what was most needed by the borough than the present board, which has been in power but one week. The question of raise in taxation is always sure to arouse in- terest and it is thought that the meeting will be largely attended.
