By Ann Frank and Stephen d'OIiveira Sun Whim At least four tornadoes ripped through north and west Broward today, overturning mobile homes and trucks, shattering store windows and uprooting trees. There were no reported injuries. The mid-morning twisters touched down in Pom-pano Beach, Lighthouse Point, Margate, Sunrise and North Lauderdale. 1 "It looks like a war said Bob Perks of Lighthouse Point. A Broward County school bus carrying 16 students was lifted off the ground but not overturned by the tornado in Lighthouse Point.

"It picked up one side of the bus and then let it down," said Stan McCall, director of transportation for the Broward School Board. The, students were unharmed." A severe thunderstorm system spawned the tornadoes as it traveled northeasterly across the county at speeds up to 50 mph. Hailstones the size of 50-cent pieces fell in parts of the county during the storm, said a spokesman for the National Weather Service in Coral Gables. A tornado whipped through Golf View Estates, a Pompano Beach mobile home park near Palm Aire Golf Course, damaging 15 to 18 units, said Lt. Steve Boyd, Pompano Beach Fire Department.

Six to eight mobile homes in the park, at 901 NW 31st had major damage, Boyd said. No one was injured, Boyd said. Trees were ripped from their roots and aluminium siding was blown off some mobile homes at the mobile home park. Dorothy Rogers was sitting outside her mobile home, at 3440 Golf View Drive, when the roof was blown off and tossed across the street, where it landed in front of another home. An early-morning tornado warning became a tornado watch at 1 8:25 a.m.

The tornado watch was initially acanceled at 9:30 a.m., but then extended as forecasters warily eyed a second severe thunderstorm forming over the Everglades. The second thunderstorm, expected to hit Broward late today, prompted Weather Service forecasters to extend the tornado watch here until 5 p.m. At noon, that storm was dumping rain on Fort Myers, but forecaster Ray Biedinger said he expected it would travel east over South Florida toward the Please see STORM, 4A Bill Kelley Entertainment State tax rollback put on 1984 ballot 4r What does it mean to be free?

x-1 IV I I i 'Is i Godfrey mourned by fans Nei wire services NEW YORK Fans mourned Arthur Godfrey, the ukulele strum-mer whose gift of gab made him a radio and television favorite for five decades, and even the singer he once fired on live TV recalled Godfrey as "the greatest salesman in the world." Godfrey, who liked to call himself the Old Redhead and who was once dubbed "the Huck Finn of radio" for his folksy wit, died Wednesday at age 79 after being hospitalized 13 days for emphysema and pneumonia at Mount Sinai Hospital. The entertainer will be cremated without any public service, said a spokesman for the William Morris agency, which represented Godfrey. "I hope indeed I shall pray that he will rest in peace," said lysts then estimated it would cut Broward County's revenue by $40 million. The impact in 1985 when the plan would take effect if voters approve it could be even greater, officials said. Those instrumental in making the petition drive a success were ecstatic Florida residents will have a direct say on their tax level.

I think it is fantastic," said Connie. Loucks, president of the Broward Taxpayers League. "It does not tell them what taxes to cut. It does not tell them where to spend the money raised by taxes," Ms. Loucks said.

"It's not a noose around their necks," she said. "It's just something to make them pay attention to how they spend our money." If the proposal passes and is made a constitutional amendment, it would: Roll back state and local government taxes to 1980 fiscal year levels. Not allow the increase in real estate taxes in any year to exceed 5 percent. Adjust the real estate tax base each year Please see REVOLT, 8 A By Carl Hulse Surf Writer Planted in 1981, the seeds of Florida's tax revolt have sprouted a successful drive to place a Proposition-13 style plan to limit government spending on the 1984 ballot. Ending almost two years of combing the state for the support of unhappy taxpayers, backers of the tax-limit proposal Wednesday submitted to state officials enough petitions to get a voter referendum on a plan that would roll back taxes and government revenues to 1980 levels.

The prospect of passage of the proposed Constitutional Amendment, which would limit tax increases to 3 percent annually, sent shivers through local government officials. "It is going to be a total disaster," said Broward County Commission Chairman Jack Fried. "I think many service areas are going to be abandoned." "It would be severe," agreed County Administrator Floyd Johnson. When the limitation plan gained steam locally, following a 1981 increase in property taxes and assessments, county budget ana-y i I Index I i Vol 72. MO.
