Pocomoke To Secure
Bldg For Fire Dept,

vantage in having the Fire House To-
Gated near the center of the town
particularly when fires occur at night;
that, since parking space is becoming
more of a problem each year, it is
necessary that the House be located
on lot that will permit driveways
on each side of the building with am
pie parking space at the back. The
NAPLES lot seems more nearly to fit
those needs than any other lot offered.
Then, too, the price, when compared
with the other lots that were consid-
cred, will permit the inclusion in the
project of many items Of equipment
which are needed.
With regard to the objections rails
ed relative to the advisibility of erect
ing the Fire House at this time: AS
previously stated, new and more
modern building is necessary to en-
able the Company to render more eff
ficient ervice to rapidly growing
community. While 459o of the total
cost can now be procured through
Government aid, the city officials
deemed it unwise to defer the matter
and later on impose the entire burden
of new Fire Engine House on the
taxpayers.
It was stated at the meeting that
the Mayor and Council expect to pay
for the building without any increase
in taxes-through the funds received
from the Dispensary. profits. The
new Municipal Building, while it cost
$47,000 has not actually cost the tax
payers of Pocomoke a penny. The
Government gave $4,000 on the pro-
ject and $4,000 of the bonds have al
ready been paid from money received
last May from the Liquor Control
Board. By June 1, 1941, the remain
der of the Municipal Building Bonds
($20,OO0) should be retired by subse-
quent receipts from the Liquor Con-
troll Board, thus making that fund
available for redemption of the Fire
House Bonds.
Mayor Ross stated that Pocomoke's
Sinking Fund account is in excellent
shape. The Fund on May 1, 1886 had
a cash balance of $14,422.16. There
has been added since that date, thru
deposits of 1920 of the tax collections
and interest accruals, $6,424.08
$4,000 of the 1927 Well Bonds have
been redeemed since May 1, 1886 and
the 1908 Floating Debt Funds of $12,-
900, were retired on October 1st
There now remains cash balance in
the fund of $4,846.24.
During the next five years, POGO
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise., 1938-10-07

moke will have to pay $4,000 more
of the 1927 Well Bonds and $4,000
of the Municipal Building Bonds-a
total of $4,000. The city officials
anticipate the following receipts dur
ing the same five-year period; for
Bond derepmtion; Estimated deposits
(1O% of tax collectiOns) $13,75O; es-
timated interest accrual $1,000; es-
timated division of Dispensary profits
($6,OOO a year, 100000. These to-
gether with the cash now in the Sink
ing Fund of $4,84624 makes a total
of 49,596.24. So, for the next five
years, with estimated receipts of
49,596.24 and but $4,000 of bonds
to take care of it is quite clear that
the financial set-up of the town is not
being jeopardized by the erection of
a new Fire House at this time.
1t is not the idea of the present
Municipal Administration according to
statement made by Mayor Ross, to
DulucI Vic CclAPhy Clo1 OuC w SOC CAAS
needed projects and reduce the tax
rate by making a concerted effort
for revenues that rightfully belong to
Pocomoke City and which are enjoyed
by other municipalities in the state.
Application was made for a $780,
600 Fire House project. 1t is not now
expected that the project will cost
more than $4,000, so Pocomoke's part
of the cost will not likely exceed $780,
900.
Mr.. Riggin Buckler, the architect,
was in Pocomoke last Saturday to go
over tentative plans and specifications
with committee from the Fire De-
partment and a committee from the
Ladies Auxiliary. He will likely be
here again within a few days when
further details will be worked out be-
fore the final drawing of plans and
advertising for bids take place.
According to the terms of the Gov
ernment's offer of a grant of 1870
of the total cost of the project, the
building must be started on or before
November 18th and completed by May
16, 1889.

PROJECT TO START

The Mayor and Council have been

This project will give the property

at very low cost-approximately
one-half the usual cost.
Under this sidewalk program, the
town furnishes the equipment, the
property owner pays for the cost of
the materials, and the Works Pro-
gress Administration provides the la
Dor.

Democratic organization when he was
