SECOND Phillipsburg Learns Tatamy Budget $200,000 State Offer Spurs Bethlehem Library Hope Apartment Bids Within Limit for Bethlehem, provided the ap Stephen Silvoy Boys Club 'Citizen' Entry Stephen Silvoy has been chosen to represent the Bethlehem Boys Club in the 19th annual Junior Citizen Contest. Silvoy, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Silvoy Sr. of 423 Stone-man Bethlehem, was selected on the basis of the amount and quality of his service to home, school, church, community and the Boys Club.

He will compete with nominees chosen by 645 Boys clubs for $3,200 in scholarships. He is now eligible to be named either national, regional or sectional "Junior Citizen." At Tax Line Held Tatamy Borough Council adopted a $16,383.70 budget this week. The budget is based on a tax rate of 3.5 mills on real estate and a 1 per cent wage tax, both the same as last year. One half of the wage tax goes to the borough and the other half to the Nazareth Area School District. Among budgeted items are general government, protection of persons and property, health and sanitation, highways, recreation, $400, and capital outlay, $3,784.40.

The Louis Hajdu Co. of Alpha, was the apparent low of five bidders for the general construction contract with a bid of With the offer of a state grant, Bethlehem may soon get a new library. Last night City Council Pres ident Robert P. Snyder said he has called a special conference for 4:30 p.m.

Monday in the Planning Commission office to look into the matter. The office of the state li brarian notified officials yester day that it could make available to the city a grant of or as much as $500,000 for library construction. It had been estimated at the time that a suitable new library could be constructed at a cost of less than $1.1 million. Snyder explained that the state plan under which distribution is to be made permits allocation of up to 50 per cent of the construction cost, but no more than $200,000 to a single project. However, since there are so few cities having plans "ready to proceed," he said, the state is willing to go up to $500,000 The grant is offered under a federal state library subsidy plan contingent on a 50-50 matching basis.

Consequently city officials will loose little time in seeking out means for pairing the half million dollars, it was noted. Since a new library had been figured in the proposed City Center complex, plans and specifications bad been ready for some time before the City Center bond issue was defeated at the polls last spring.
