The Pocono Kmml, Tlie Stroud.sburjfs, 1'a. Nov. (J. ommissioners Spotlight By Gil Murray Pocono Record Reporter STROUDSBURG Taxing agencies in Mourn 1 County are expressing divided opinion over a suggestion that the county would switch from an occupational tax to a per capita, levy. The county commissioners have sent letters to all borough councils, township supervisors and school (wards in the counly asking each which form of taxation they would prefer.

During a commissioners meeting yesterday. threi- more replies were received--two favor the retention of the present occupational lax and ow favoring a flat ier capita Isx. At the basis of the controversy is (he individual occupational assessors elected in wards and townships. C. A.

(Phys) iN'auman. chief assessor, claims the local assessors do not perform their jobs. Nauman also claims the county pays too much money to assessors for the amount of tax collected. Further, Nauman points out. the occupational assessors do not visit each home in their district every year to bring assessment data up to date and put new residents on the rolls.

Came up with Idea The commissioner came up with the idea that the county scrap its occupational and levy a $3 per capita tax on every resident in the county 21 or older. This, they reasoned would do away with occupational assessors. However, this is not the case. The conuty found Dial even if it eliminated the occupational tax, it would still be forced to pay the local assessors for a yearly canvassing of their districts. This is because some school ixiards and borough councils also levy an occupational lax.

Also, every school board in the county collects an occupational lax. According to law, the assessors are obliged to supply school boards with new rcskient.s in the respeclii'c districts. Dnipped proposal Faced with the fact that a switch in taxes would not eliminate assessors, the commissioners a dropped the idea. However, the letters keep coming in from the taxing agencies. And, some of the letters uphold the contention that the local assessors are not doing tho jobs they were being paid to perform.

A letter from Ihe secretary of the Pocono Twp. School board is an example. The secretary wrote: "Our biggest problem is forcing the assessors to do their jobs. Many people are not on the list "Last year, our assessor claimed she did a good job. Last year we (the school board) added over GO names.

See assessor) taing one of Favor Retention On Ihe other hand, the supervisors in Middle Smillilield Twp. and the East Slroudsburg Hor- ough School Board favor the retention of Ihe occupational lax. The supervisors wrote a imposing a JKT capita lax would be a hardship on taxpayers. Even Ihough Ihe commissioners have dropped the issue for time l)eing, the problem still remains. If Ihe local assessors are paid for performing their duties, then they must perform these dulies to Ihe leller of the law.

If they refuse, then they must be prosecuted as prescribed by law. Fatal flipover State troopers examine the car in which Earl J.

The feautre film: "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" although produced in 1919, is still a favorite with college and art films buffs.

Written by Carl Mayer and directed by Robert Weine, this classic brought a new dimension to cinema art. Here, strange, distorted sets are used imaginatively as background to the story of a somnambulist, his owner, and their terrorization of a small German town. The end of the film reveals that the viewer has seen the entire story through the eyes of a mad-man. "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" ushered in the golden age of German cinema with its expressionist settings and recurrent themes of myth, horror and madness.

A famous critic, Parker Tyler hailed it: A triumph of style expression, a vision pure, open and legitimate in its specific nature as poetry." This film is silent with English titles and the prints are of fine quality, with sharp, clear image.
