Budget System to Be Recon-
mended by Committee on
February 9

The finance committee Of the Mid
dletown council is planning to sys-
tematize the expenditures Of the bor-
ough in such way that enough
money may be saved to cut one mill
from the existing tax rate. The COM
mittee Is now working on plans to
be presented to councils at it's next
meeting on February 8.
One of the innovations will be the
recommendation Of all appropriations
in budget form. Former councils
were in the habit of making appro-
priations for each department Of the
borough as the money was needed.
Separate bills for each item were pre-
sented to councils and approved with
an appropriation to pay the bill.
out by the finance committee a GER
tain sum will be appropriated an
nually for the fire department, wa
ter department, park board, highway
department, sewers and incidental
municipal expenses. In this way it is
believed by the councilmen that in q
short time through more systematic
business methods enough money may
be saved the taxpayers to reduce the
mill rate one mill.
The members of the finance COM
mittee who are preparing the bor-
oughs first budget are c. B. Earisman.

ton, and ways and means for procur-
ing more houses here were discussed
at meeting of the Steelton Municipal
League in the Steelton Light and

At the present time the borough
has two tracts of land suitable for
park purposes--the Luther r. Kelker
plot of nine acres, presented to the
borough some years ago by the Kel-
ker estate for park development, and
a plot of between three and four acres
surrounding the reservoir at the end
of Swatara street. These two tracts
could be developed into an excellent
park system and by securing an addi-
tional small tract near the poorhouse,
the parkway could be connected with
Harrisburgs city parks.

council, to see If start cannot be

tracts.
Houses Badly Needed
The need of more new houses to
make homes for men employed at
Steelton who live elsewhere was dis
cussed at some length. 1t seems that
there is great demand for houses
renting from SIS to $25 month in
Steelton. At present there are two
new residential sections of the bor-
ough in the course Of development.
They are the Eleventh street extention
