LEADERS FOR YEARCHOSEN BY SCOUTS

A flat increase of 50 per cent. inborough taxes wa s voted for Monday night by Council. Th is rep resents a jump from 16 to 24 millson the assessed valuation.The final figure is one mill lessthan the amount f i rst cal led for inthe original ordinance. Vigorousp ru ni ng o f t he b ud ge t a nd rigideconomy in every department wasu nd er ta ken t o keep the ratedown.Of the e ight mills of increasedtaxes, .seven is caused directly bythe expenses o f t he s tr ee t p av in gprogram authorized by the votersin passing the $75,000 bond issue.The problem of s tr ee t p av in g i ngeneral , with i ts related work ofcleaning a nd a sh collection, eatsu p t he gr ea te r part of the totalamount.The budget f igure final ly ar rived at was $85,365. The greaterpart o f t he reduction was made inthe Highway Department, where$7000 was lopped off. This meansthat the complete repai r of Narberth and vVindsor avenues cannot be made this year.The 24-mill rate i s d iv ided upinto the following parts : For general purposes, 15 mills: for sinkingfunds, 3 mills; for f ir e protection, 2 mills; for street improvement, 3 mills. Of the nearly$15,000 put aside for sinkingfunds, $15000 is to pay the inter e st a nd s in ki ng funcl charges onthe s treet loan.The manner in which the extensive h ighway improvementp rogram pyramided the taxes wassh own at t he me et ing , w he n t hestatus of paymentson sewer, sidewalk, curb and street work werecliSCllSSf'n.It was explained that when thebond issue was passed by thevoters, Council had no opportuni ty t o provide for a means o f financing the expensive sewer workwhich had to p recede the s tree ts ,and for which no provision wasmade in the bond issue. Paymenthad to be made ou t of current revenue.This u n e x p e c te d expensecreated a deficit of some $17,000 int he H ig hw ay Department lastyear, which must be met ou t of1926 taxes.Other causes contributed to theincrease. The re-grading of theplayground and t he bad conditionof \Vynnewood avenue near therailroad made re-paving an dwidening necessary.

But againthe ob jec ti on may be u rg ed th atthere was no e vi den t re ason fort ak ing t he n ame of the townshipfor the new county.A third theory directs attentionto the fac t t ha t when Montgomerycounty was organized by an act ofthe State Assembly, in 1784, therewere two members of t he name ofMontgomery in the Assembly-Jo,seph Montgomery, of Lancaster,and William Montgomery, ofNorthumberland. When the petition for a newcounty was submittedto the Assembly the name was l ef tblank, and "Montgomery" was subsequently inserted, it is said, to gainthe support of the two members ofthat name.
