Two movements have been start
ed in Riverdale, one looking to
the numbering of all houses and
the other designed to arouse senti-
ment for an increased town tax
rate for permanent street and
sidewalk improvements. Number
ing of houses, 1t is pointed out,
would facilitate store and other de-
liver1es and also would fulfil
requirement for mail delivery which
1t is hoped soon to obtain. The
present town tax rate OF 20 cents
on each 800 assessed valuation of
real estate and the present county
road rebate money received by the
town are insufficient to permit
any extensive street and sidewalk
improvements, it Is stated.
The rs cent rate, however, is the
maximum allowed under the charter
of incorporation granted Riverdale
by the legislature and authority to
obtain an increased rate must be
secured from the legislature.
