PAY-AN-YOU-USE CUTS TAX RATE

Bond Issue Plan Helped " This Year’ s Levy at $1 28;

Program Is Likely

to Be Continued;

$125,000 Request Considered.

By RICHARD LEWIS

One of the ways City officials - were able to hold this vear’s tax rate down to $1.28 was the financing of expensive,

equipment purchases through

hond issue.

¥aced with the unpleasant possibility of a high civil citv rate last vear, officials favored a pay-as-you-use instead

of a pay-as-you-go policy.

They were influenced in this)

decision by an extremely favorable hond market in which the City could sell its bond at

low rates of interest. It the more popular course to take,

Same Course Probable With an election coming on, officials probably will think twice ahout abandoning this policy and probably will decide to keep on

utilizing the City’s bonding margin |

which is still more than $1,000,000 A request, for a $£125.000 bond isciie for the purchase of equipment for the Fire Department and the Streets Department is before the City Council now. It includes Construction of a new fire station at Prospect St. and Madison Ave., $43,000 Rebuilding of the fire drill tower at Seuth and New Jersey Sts, $10,000 Purchase of motorized fire equipment, $38,000. Addition to the Police Radio at Willard Park, $600 Purchase of two street sweepers and a small grader, $25,000. If the City had decided to finance these purchases out of tax revenue, vour civil city tax rate would have heen $1.30. instead of $1.28. As il is. the cost will be amortized in 10 vears

Airport Labor Discussed The Armv Survey Board for the Fastern Coastal Region, here to survey the availability of Municipal Airport as a pursuit squadron base, discussed the possibility of using WPA labor for construction of barracks at the airport with State Administrator John K. Jennings yesterday Mr. Jennings told the Board members that the WPA would do the work if the City would sponsor if and pay 25 per cent of the cost. Another and probably easier way to get the work done by the WPA, Mr. Jennings said, would he to have the War Department declare it a part of defense preparations. Then no. sponsor would be needed and the City wouldn't have to pay anything Members of very particular dwellings Air Corps have ta live in, if the local 1sed They AWAY grate sept chacks or sh After all old City and
