Newport Sets $1,20 Tax Rate Newport tain board let its tax' ? rate at SI. 20 Tuesday night at the town hall, a 10-cent increase over, la?t year. CamMlaioaera beat down a budget proposing a 20-oewt increase, which '.vould have made the rate $1.30. The tuwn'i assessed valuation is $929,176. The board ohjected to a proposal that part of the ABC Iwuts be used to supplement pay of high school teschers snd the deficit in the gen ersl budget then be met by a tax increase. Commissioner Dick Lockey said people don't want to pay higher taxes. Mayor Leon Mann pointed out that there is a critical need for improving the quality of teachinj. Commissioner Lockey declared, "Those teachers won't gel any bet ter and they'll be there until they die. If you're going to increase pay, let the whole township help pay for It." The mayor pointed out that taxes are getting higher but the people are getting more services too. There is better fire equipment, he said, the town has -expanded, more streets have been added and a town water system installed. Commissioner Wilbur Garner aaid that if the town beard pro vides money for teacher salaries, people would say the board was taking over something that was not its business. The mayor said, "If you don't want better education, we'll forget It Commissioner T^slie Bercegeay asked why a supplement was rec ommended only for high school teachers. The mayor said that the school board felt It was needed there most, as far as quality of in struction is concerned. Mayor Mann contended that in several years the supplements would attract better teachers. Commissioner Garner said he was not in favor of running the town in the red to pay teachers. The $1,256 Item, earmarked for high school teacher pay supple ment, was stricken from the bud get. The commissioners again dis missed the town's decreased ABC store revenue. It is estimated that in the coming year it will be $3,000, ?down a thousand from laat year. The mayor said the county ABC board claims that Newport's sales are dropping but overhead remains stable, thus causing the decrease in profit. Mayor Mann charged, however, that the store is making illegal sales of liquor. He said sales are 'being made to habitual drunks. "1 want to see it stopped or get rid of the store," he declared. Commissioner Bercegeay said he had been receiving complaints about the water being cut off June 17. Water commissioner Bcnnie 'Garner said a 2-inch line had to be tapped in, the work was not done as he had instructed it be done and in the ensuing emergency, all the water had to be cut off. Mayor Mann suggested that in the future if a cut-off is absolutely necessary, the work be planned in advance so that people can be noti fied. Dewey Phipps of West Newport appeared to inquire if there were foundation to rumors that police protection would be done away with. He was informed that police services will be the same as they alwayi have been. The c?mtnta*i<mers said that po lice chief Dan Bell will 1. Answer a call from any ?ne ?t any time he's on duty and that people need not call a commission er first to get permission for the ?chief to answer a can I. Chief Bell's Saturday hours as polio* officer are 4 to !? p.m. The board said that the rumors probably arose from a misunder standing on the part of the police officer as a result of instructions at the June meeting. A large por <ioa of Tuesday night's meeting wm devoted to a conference with chief Ml aad definition of his du tjN. The board also stated that the Big Day at Fish Fry Hundreds attended the fish fry at the Sea l/Vfl Community Hos pital Saturday, July 4.
