6 TFIE POST-STANDARD, Syracuse, N. Saturday, September 2, 1961 town John Geglia Dies After 1 Crash PULASKI A Watertown man was fatally injured Friday as the result of an accident near here when he was struck by a backing John Geglia, 48, of 1974 State died at 6:30 p.m. Friday in Mercy Hospital, Watertown, from injuries received in i-he mishap while he was working on Interstate Rt. 81, two miles from this village. State police said Geglia was standing on a running board of a truck he was driving as a subcontractor for the Peter Kowitt Sons Construction Company.

Geglia was rolling a tarpaulin from the top of a load of blacktop on his truck when a second truck backing up, the driver unable to see Geglia, struck him and pushed him into the door of the cab of the truck. Authorities said the accident happened at 4:30 p.m., and Geglia was rushed to the Watertown Hospital. Hospital authorities reported the man died at 6:30 p.m. Dr. Clifford C.

Wray, acting coroner's physician, said death was due to a crushed chest and internal injuries. State police were still investigating Friday evening. The name of the driver of the other truck not disclosed in the early report of the accident. 1 aw tarts rvic CA-RTHAGE Carthage Central School District officials pointed out Friday that despite increases in tax rates in the district for 1961 the rate with a single exception are not as high as those for the 1959 tax year. In the Town of Wilna, which bears the largest portion of the tax load, the rate for 1961 is $21.77 per $1,000 (A assessed valuation, or SI.20 more than the 1960 rate but still 12 cents per thousand less than 1959.

In Champion, exclusive of the old Great Bend district, the rate is 43 cents under the 1959 level, $1.18 higher than that of 1960 at S2L46 per $1,000. In the Great Bend district, the $28.40 rate is $1,06 less than it was in 1959 and in Rutland at $20.88 the rate is $1.01 less. For Lewis County towns, Croghan at $43.54 is $4.36 less; Denmark, at $37.17, $2.13 less, Diana, at $27.21, $4.02 less. The Lewis County towns bear higher rates than those of Jefferson County because they bear correspondingly lower equalization rates. The only exception is the Jefferson County Town of LeRay which was reduced from $21.98 in 1959 to in 1960, and has been increased to $22.74 for 1961.

This amounts to $1.25 more than 1960 and 85 cents more than 1959. Supervising Principal Wilfred Rushman said Friday neither the rate or the increases were excessive when considered in the iljght of rates of other school districts in the state. assena Also "i 1 1 1 i 1 i f. 11 i I I I I 1 i i 1 y. f-ff VISIT CAMP DRUM Youngsters from Camp Bradley Brook', West; Eaton, visited Camp Drum recently as guest of the post.
