OELMAMVA Isi EDITION 12 fveninq Journal. Wilmington, Thursday, April 17, 1975 Milford, Henlopen Districts Sewage Cut School Tax Rates a Bit which pushed the increase -above the allowable 10 percent. Administrative assistant Leonard I. Hill Jr. said yesterday the half cent resulted in about $2,000 in additional tax collections.

The reduction in the Cape Henlopen rate was possible, according to school officials, because of a delay in the state's sale of bonds for the new high school building. While money was building up in the district's debt service account. There was a period, before the bonds were sold, without any corresponding payments. Both districts maintain capitation taxes. $18.90 is collected in Milford and $10 in the Cape Henlopen School District.

Industry Recruiter Job Deadline Here From the Sussex Bureau GEORGETOWN Residents in both the Milford and Cape Henlopen School Districts will be paying less iji school taxes this year. The Cape Henlopen School Board reduced the district tax rate from $1.48 per $100 of assessed value to $1,293. In Milford, the board knocked a half off the district tax rate, adjusting for an error last year. Milford's rate will be 79.5 cents per $100.

The park, developed by Frank E.

Acierno, is on Burton Prong, a tributary of Herring Creek on Long Neck, just west ofRehobothBay. The division has attached a number of stipulations to the permit, including the requirement that the park's treatment plant be operated and maintained by the Sussex County engineer's office. This is the first time the county's engineering office has been asked to take on the re-sponsibilitity for a small package treatment plant at a private development. However, the state has begun to require this elsewhere in an effort to upgrade the operation of such plants, which sometimes lack trained operators. William C.

Henry, Sussex County engineer, said he had not been formally contacted by the state about operating the facilities. He said the county council would have to approve such an arrangement. Acierno approached the council several months ago with such a proposal, but was told by the council it wasn't interested, according to Henry. No representative of Angola Beach could be contacted. The permit will allow the construction of a plant which will discharge into on expanded park seepage bed.

Effluent from the plant will discharge into Burton Prong. The park is to be enlarged from 152 units to 458 units. Some residents of the Herring Creek area have been fighting against a discharge into the prong for 4 years. At a public hearing last spring they contended the prong was too shallow and didn't have sufficient tidal flow to absorb the treated sewage. There was also criticism the current plant had not always been properly operated.
