& THE EDITOR

Tax Rate Misleading

Dear Editor: A news story in your paper last week proclaimed that the town clerk of Syracuse, Ronald Sharp, stated that next year’s budget would bring an cent drop in the tax rate. That may be right — but he neglected to say that the amount of money proposed to be spent next year is $16,922 over 1968. Total proposed for 1968 was $71,210 and for next year is $88,132. This is near 20 per cent increase. The only way this can be done is because of the recent re-assessment which must have put everybody’s value up. The people are going to pay more next year — 20 pet cent more — even if the newspaper

statement does put the rate down B*4 cents. Total expenditures have now gone from $57,651.22 in 1966 to $83,132 in 1969! These figures do not inclode expenditures of the water company nor of the sewage department. This sharp budget just continues what has> been happening — spend more money — that seems to be the only answer. If the present clerk (appointed) and the three members oil the board who were put in by publicity by Sharp would all resign today, it would take at least 25 years for the town to recover from their binge on spending money as a “cure” for community ills.
