Communication
To the editor:
Dear Jeff:
Dog napping is on the rise
around the Lake Lanier and
Landrum area.
Watch for people in cars try
ing to lure dogs to them. If you
see such action, get the license
plate number, if at all possible,
and report it to your local
police department.
There is nothing more devas
tating than having your dog
stolen and never knowing what
happened.

Expansion Plans
For Arts Center
Described At Rotary
Mervin Oakes, president of
the Board of the Tryon Fine
Arts Center, told Monday's
Rotary members of the plan to
expand facilities at the Center.
'Factors that need to be
addressed," said Oakes,
"include the new law governing
easy access for the handicapped
to all public buildings. If some
one in a wheelchair wishes to
sing, for instance, in the Com
munity Chorus, it should be
easy for that person to get on
stage. At the present time it is
practically impossible. Also our
restrooms and drinking foun
tains do not meet specifications.
We must take this law
seriously."
Another problem is compcti-

No Tax Increase,
No Surprises
In Tryon Budget
Tryon's 1992-93 town bud
get, which will be presented
during a public hearing at Tryon
Town Hall at 6:30 p.m. tonight,
includes no tax or rate increases
and no surprises.
However, the total budget,
$2,585,000, shows a major
increase due to two grants,
explained town manager Mat
thew Dolge.
"The General Fund Revenue
looks even next year with this
year, with the exception of a
few reductions", Dolge said.
Revenue reductions include
lower interest earnings due to
low rates, less funds from the
Utilities Franchise Tax (the
state took some of the money to
match federal funds), and
presently non-existent ABC
revenues, he said.
The General Fund budget of
$803,683 reflects no new
employees, no major changes
and a five percent increase in
employee salaries, Dolge
pointed out.
Capital outlay items to be
considered during the public
hearing are a new copier for
administration, a new patrol car,
$10,000 to computerize the
police files and records and a
drug dog for the Police
Department, he reported.
Ilie Tryon Fire Department
will see a $15,000 increase in
revenue. A contract with the
Foothills Fire District at Lake
Lanier will bring in $13,000,
