Phone 367-7152 Thursday, June 9, 1977 1 1 It's A Different Story Derry Twp. Tax Collector Says Income Is $35,000 yt- ChhHi, 0nmm Painter Hurt By Pulley On Ride An Enola man, Edward Phillips, 29, suffered multiple injuries Friday while painting atop a tower on the Sky View ride at Hersheypark.

According to Dr. Miles Newman, who was called to the scene shortly after 7: SO a.m. to assist the Hershey Ambulance Crew, Phillips' legs were caught in moving cables when someone accidentally started the ride. The rescue took more than an hour, Dr. Newman reported.

He and rescuers had to climb a ladder to administer a painkiller and oxygen to the injured man before he could be lowered to the ground in a litter. Phillips, who suffered two broken legs and internal injuries, was taken to Hershey Medical Center, where he was later listed in satisfactory condition, Dr. Newman said. Dr. Newman has been working very closely with the Hershey Ambulance crew over the past year.

Bible School Theme Noted The Conewago Church of the Brethren will hold its Vacation Bible School June 13 to 17, 6:30 to 8:15 p.m. The theme will be "Sing Out Jesus Loves You." Classes will be for age four through adult. Bus transportation will be available. collection of the earned income tax for the school and township. His expenses were listed at $24,781.

Among the expenses are $11,559 for salaries, $4,106 for data processing and $2,376 for postage. Other expenses of the earned income office include employers FICA taxes, blue cross payments, printing, and telephone expenses. Both the earned income tax office and other tax collection operations are housed in the same building. "This saves the township and myself a substantial amount of money. If the earned income tax was in its own office, it would cost much more money," Fratti said.

Two In One "With the two offices together, things such as telephone and postage can be split between the two, saving money," he said. Fratti receives about $6,200 annually from the township, school district and county to help with postage and printing costs. "The rest of the costs must be absorbed by the tax collector," he said. There are four full-time employes in the offices, two in each the earned income and other tax office. The reports also indicated that several other tax collectors in the county were realizing high profits from the job.

"As president of the county tax collectors association I am very concerned about these reports. I just do not think they are fair. We are going to talk about this thing at our next meeting," Fratti said. The tax collector is running for his fifth term in November. Derry Unique He admitted that the cost for tax collection (within his office) is higher than some others in the area.

"But we must remember that we have a transient community here and that makes for much more work and expense. It costs money every time we have to add or subtract someone from the tax roles," he said. Fratti said there is a move to eliminate local tax collectors in Pennsylvania and some of the reports may be part of that action. I would hate to see taxes col-lected at the county or state level. The best government in this state is at the municipal level.

We have personal contact here and can get the job done much cheaper than would be possible with any other system," Fratti said. ONE OF MANY Kitty Bowman, uniform manager at Hersheypark, looks over one of the 30,000 uniforms she cares for daily. Some of the clothing for park employes is stored in this warehouse-type room on several dozen racks. Other uniforms are placed on a revolving rack for instant identification. Uniform Manager Keeps Busy By DAN MCCARTHY HERSHEY Reports published last week in another newspaper indicated that the Derry Township tax collector earns $77,317 a year.

When I interviewed him on the subject, I was told that his actual income after paying expenses was about $35,000 in 1976. Phillip Fratti, township tax collector, said last week that he does not understand the previous reports. "Everyone knows that we have expenses to deduct form the money collected from the taxes. I cannot understand why these would not be deducted in talking about earnings," he said. Contests Figure Fratti also contested the actual $77,317 as money received for the tax collection.

"This should be split into two categories. I serve as an elected tax collector for the school district and the township, but then I also serve as an appointed collector of the earned income tax." According to records filed with the state Department of Commerce and the county, Fratti earned about $5,000 in collecting the earned income tax in 1976, after expenses. From other township and school district taxes, he earned $30,426 after expenses, bringing the actual amount cleared to more than $35,000. In 1975, due basically to the institution of a new computer process, Fratti actually lost about $2,000 in the collection of the earned income tax. In that same year, he cleared about $26,000 from other tax collections, bringing his net profit to about $24,000.

Fratti collects the real estate tax for the township and the school district, the occupational privilege tax, the per capita tax, and the amusement tax. He receives $250 each from the township and the school district for the collection of the amusement tax. Works On Contract The earned income tax, done on a contract basis, returns 3.25 per cent and 4 per cent from the school district and the township respectively, according to income records filed. "During the nine years I have been collecting the earned income tax, I have not made more than $15,000 in profit. The published reports did not indicate the expenses involved in collecting this tax and therefore make it look like I am making a fortune here," Fratti said.

In 1976, Fratti received a total commission of $29,708 from the Burglary Suspect Is Nabbed In New Jersey HERSHEY Most of us find it difficult enough to dress ourselves in the morning from time to time. Anyone who has experienced the blue and green sock syndrome while trying to get dressed certainly can appreciate the job that Kitty Bowman does at Hersheypark. She is in charge of making certain that 1,300 Hersheypark employes are wearing the correct uniforms when the park opens each day. But despite the difficulties involved, she really enjoys her work. "We are like one, big, happy family here.

Dealing with people all the time makes the job worthwhile," the Annville resident said. Was Seamstress Five years ago, she was a seamstress at the Weaver Garment Cleona. What made her leave such a comfortable job to take on the sometimes hectic work at the park? "There is a sense of accomplishment involved in working here. The people are great and we work as a team to make sure things are done," she said. She is a year-round employe at the park.

"During the winter we take care of the Hershey Bears hockey uniforms and other such things. We also handle any emergency that might come up," she said. The emergencies usually involve acts playing at the Hersheypark arena. Some involve the emergency washing of Liberace's underwear and the laudering of kilts for a member of the Royal Marines and Black Watch. But the real work for Kitty and her staff of eight comes during the summer, or actually begining in the spring.

"We start taking fittings around Easter and they continue throughout the summer until about August." The fittings involve the altering of at least 30,000 uniforms. Each park employe has two changes of uniform, one of which is washed daily. Emergency Bin Such an arrangement can lead to problems, of course. The problems create the need for a term that had to be invented for the park the emergency bin. While such a term may seem a bit drastic, Kitty takes it seriously.

"No employe can go into the park without the proper uniform. When someone does not have his uniform it is an emergency," she said. All clothing placed in the emergency bin is returned in time for the employe's next shift. The new park service center has given the Annville resident more room to complete her tasks. "This new building is like heaven for us.

Before we were working out of a few little rooms," she said. A large part of the service center is devoted to areas and an employes' locker room. The most challenging uniforms to clean are those of food service employes. "Since we make all our own food in the park, those uniforms get quite dirty. They create the biggest challenge," she said.

Uniform For Area All park employes are dressed in uniforms according to the area they work in. According to a Hersheypark spokesman, this provides identification for the park patrons and creates order within the park. The newest uniforms were purchased this year for those running the Sooperdooperlooper. "I enjoy working behind the scenes here. People don't realize how much work goes into getting everyone out there with the right uniform.

But thats the way we want it to be," Kitty said. CRAIG R. HOCKER C. R. Hocker Is Honored At H.AC.C.

Hershey Receive Awards For Achievements HERSHEY-Derry Twp. police have arrested a suspect in connection with April 25 burglary of Wagner's Market, 307 E. Derry Road.
