THE FINAL CHAPTER Broad Top Township, Bedford County, will finally get its share of revenue sharing funds for 1972 and three-quarters of 1973. The township will receive $34,845 which the federal government owes under its revenue sharing program. Because of a "government error" last December, the Revenue Sharing Bureau did not record Broad Top Township in the original list of municipalities in Bedford County to receive revenue sharing funds. The bureau indicated that there was no proof of the existence of the township- no record, or tax base, or taxes.

Acting as project coordinator for Bedford County, OlinW.Hor- ton managed to get the ball rolling to prove the township's existence six months through a series of communications with the bureau and UJS. Senator Hugh Scott. He submitted a copy of the township's annual audit. The revenuers did some chec- ing with the census bureau, discovering the township's 2000 residents, and on Wednesday Bedford County officials got word from Senator Scott's office that the Revenue Sharing Bureau was, indeed, in error. The check is expected to reach the township in October.

Because payments for the three quarters of 1973 have already been sent or are in the processing stage, the bureau of revenue sharing will not catch up with itself until then.
