NO INCREASE IN
CITY TAX RATE
Mt. Robertson Says Schools
Will Get the Money
They Need
FINANCE CHAIRMAN
INCREASES REVENUES

The FIRST intimation in City Council
that the present tax rate is not to be
increased came from Councilman Rob
erison, chairman Of the finance commit
tee of Council, last night, when he an
nounced thatithe public schools Of the
city were TO be taken care Of without
increasing the city TAX rate. Mr.. Rob
ertson made this announcement in
speaking on a communication received
and read from the members Of St.
Paurs NJ. Z. Church relative TO the un-
sanitary condition OF the schools here
and the lack OF teachers. The signers
OF the communication said they were
willing TO pay any additional amount
Of taxes needed by Council 10 improve
the city school conditions.
After the letter had been read Mr..
Robertson said il was a commendable
letter. but that Council proposed to
take care Of the schools without in
creasing the city tax rate.
Councilman Johnson said he was glad
10 hear that something was to be done
for the schools. but that he had noticed
that the Council finance committee
chairman had referred TO the surplus
money in the city treasury when toilets
in the schools needed attention. and he
thought 10 would he 20 the credit OF
the city 10 use this money to correct
these evils.
Councilman Cathcart said he had
visited the schools in the past two
weeks and found that they needed at
tention.
Councilman Robertson said he agreed
with what had been said by the two
councilmen but would ask who was re-
sponslble for the city securing $4,000
in additional taxes from the Public Util-
tiles OF the city. President Of Council
LYON explained that all had a hand in
this and Councilman Johnson said, I'VE
all backed you up pretty well"
Council received communication
from the members OF Bethel Baptist
Church. OF No. . South Market street,
asking the City Fathers not to let their
little church be torn down. as they
have no other place TO go. II was he
ferred 10 the Public Building Com
mittee.
The resolution adopted by the Cen
tral Labor Union at its recent meeting,
protesting against the custo moi Coun-
eli in holding "committee Of the whole
meetings for the transaction Of public
business. and which has already ap-
peared in the public press, was receiy-
ed and filed.
The Board OF Hsrbor Commission
ers' budget for the fiscal year begin
ming July 4. was received. asking for
total of $4,000. 1t was estimated that
the cost OF constructing the seaport
terminals and piers in the Christiana
would amount TO siJ00000. II was re-
ferred to the Finance Committee.

The Methodist Missionary Centenary

tral Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware,

night over the great out-pouring OF
pledges from members upon the fourth
day Of the big financial campaign on
cial announcement OF the total thus
far subscribed is based upon reports
from little more than half Of the

safe TO conclude, therefore, that the
amount thus far subscribed through
out the area has been far in excess OF
the amount indicated
The tsbulations last night ware based
on returns from l75 clergynen. OF this
number 299 reported that their church

In what more fitting way could our
national wealth be bestowed to sup
port American civilization. A recent
writer has said, 1.-THE boys and girls
of America are the hope of the world.
Can we afford to withhold the neces-
sary funds to fulfill this great scheme
of education? Give the matter some
thought when you come in contact
with the slow back-woodsman of to-
day. Put yourself in his place and
think-to only a few individuals has
the power of directing their own edu-
cation been given. Perhaps the great
est of these wonderful personalities
was Abraham Lincoln. One sometimes
wonders if ever Honest Abe" could
have pushed his way into the White
House today when one thinks of the
great. strides in National progress
since the days of Lincoln.
Wake up; and give the boys and
girls of to-day every educational OPP
portunity. In this great scheme keep
in mind the greatest factors in carry
ing out this scheme are the teachers
of America.

Sewerage for PleasantviIIe.

Editor Pleasantville Press:
The State of Pennsylvania will
spend over $50, 000, 900 on new roads
and civic Improvements and Governor
Sproul says the State is only begin
ming. Our own popular and progress
sive Governor, Walter E. Edge, is also
advocating public improvements for
the great State of New Jersey, and
advises cities and townships to i'm
prove their local conditions. Right
here in Pl~easantville, the home of Jul
enterprising and progressive Governor,
we are lacking in the most important
civic improvement, which our hust-
ling and progressive city needs badly,
viz: Sewerage. The boys are O.
coming home and they must be taken
care of. They don't want any charity
or favors, they want work. 1t will
take some time for them to get back
and accustomed to their former posi-
lions and self, and being used to out
door life, local civic improvements
will be to their liking. Members of
City Council should get busy and start
these municipal improvements and
give our home people a chance and
not wait and bring in a lot of outsiders
who will only remain here while the
work is going IN. Now that SO many
people are idle, this is the time to do
things in the way of local civic i'm
provements, namely, a sewerage sys-
TEN for the City of P~leasantville.
