We want to reduce our dependence on the property tax," Town Manager Jeffrey Wilson said Tuesday. We want to develop a revenue mix and spread the tax burden around. If the proposed local taxes make it through a series of governmental hurdles including approval by the Legislature Manchester would become the first Vermont town to impose local taxes outside the property tax and the school tax. There are substantial impacts on tha 1 community from the tourists and nonresidents, such as parking, 'traffic and' public safety," Wilson said. Right now, based on this years 88 percent of the services we offer are paid for by the property tax.

Thats a substantial burden on the resident with a fixed in'-' come, and were attempting to share that' burden with the visitors," he said. 1 Wilson said the board of selectmen if. well aware that the Legislature has traditionally been opposed to local option but he said it is time to put the issue on the' front burner. We think its an important issue, and we want the Legislature to at leaBt address it, "he said. the town to appraise different types of property at.

varying percentages of fair market value. Wilson said that ratification by the Legislature is probably the biggest challenge facing the proposed new taxes. The Legislature and the governor have been less than open to the idea of local option taxes, Wilson said. Manchester is a town of 3,600 year round residents which' has been engulfed by a commercial boom over the last decade to the point where it feels it has to fend for itself, Wilson said. The rationale behind the proposed taxes, he said, was that revenue should be drawn from shoppers and tourists who affect local services but currently do not contribute any municipal revenue.

Gov. Madeleine M. Kunin In her annual budget address last week proposed giving regions the option of imposing local rooms and meals taxes. Burlington has a gross receipts tax of one percent on restaurants and bars and two percent on hotels. It was enacted in 1984 under a little-used section of its city charter.

Once the board of selectmen finalize the proposals Wednesday night, Wilson said, there will be a series of public hearings before they are voted on at Town Meeting day in March. At town meeting, voters would be asked to approve a one percent local sales tax and a two percent local rooms and meals tax. Voters will also be asked to approve tax classification system which would allow Vermont Briefs Rifle Incident Prompts Arrests Southern Vermont Bureau PROCTORSVILLE Two men were arrested for firing a rifle on Main Street in Proc-torsvillc. According to Vermont State Police in Rockingham, the two men, whose names are being withheld, visited the Main Street residence of Delbert Barrett Sunday, Police said Barrett said the two individuals harassed him. After leaving the residence one of the men took a 30-30 Winchester rifle out of a truck and fired the gun in the air.

The incident occurred at 9:30 p.m. Police said the two men were arrested and will be arraigned at White River Junction District Court on Feb. 27. Federal Fugitive Caught in Florida A Rutland man who had been wanted since October for allegedly violating his parole was ap-rchended in Key Largo, by S. deputy marshals Monday.

Charles Drinwater, born in Proctor, had been paroled after serving time in federal prison in Morgantown, W.Va., for stealing property from the Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, court records said. He was arrested without incident while working in Florida for Amusements of America, a traveling carnival. He had been a fugitive since Oct. 20, court records said. Bicentennial Committee ASCUTNEY The Weathers-field Bicentennial Committee will hold its next meeting on Wednesday, Jan.

17, at 7:30 p.m. at Martin Memorial Hall, to discuss long range planning for Vermonts bicentennial in 1991. All are welcome. Contact Nancy at 263-9261 or John at 674-6561. Budget Continued from Page 7 $100,000 to our budget, said Willard, referring to the towns agreement to treat leachate from the former Springfield dump in future years.

Selectman Douglas Moulton argued that the town was not in a crisis, it is in a crunch, regarding the replacement of its fire department equipment. Selectmen opposed a proposed administration plan to not fund the purchase of two police cruisers this year. The plan would have called for selectmen to approve the purchase of the next set of cruisers outside of the regular budget session, as well as keeping two cruisers with already high mileage on the road for three more months. Selectmen made more than $45,000 worth of cuts from the originally proposed $4.8 million budget. Committee of 18 members say that the actual proposed budget was $5,048 million, because at least one item, tennis court replacements, was proposed separately.

Others were proposed later. Selectmen will meet again Thursday with the Committee of 18 to plan further cuts. The committee has recommended that the library and the recreation department work toward becoming self-suppbrting through user fees. Those issues are expected to be addressed Thursday. 1 Vermont Lottery The Associated Press CONCORD, N.H.

Here are the winning numbers selected Tuesday in the daily New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine 4-6-2 and 8-2-0-2. Obituaries Joseph Fucci A funeral Maas for Joseph Fucci, 73, who died Friday at his winter home In Dania, will be held Wednesday at Church of the Resurrection in Dania, Fla. Burial will be in Santa Clara, Calif. He was born In Rutland, May 8, 1917, the son of Christiano and Ortencia (Mercaldo) Fucci. His wife, Irene (Elkey) Fucci, died in 1982.

Survivors include seven children, Pappy Snyder, Darla King, Linda Star-rett, Shelly Field, Tammy Fucci and Jay Fucci, Nell Fucci, all of the Santa Clara area; two brothers, Ronald A Fucci and Louis J. Fucci, both of Rutland; two sisters, Lily Whittle of San Rafael, and Mary Donahue of Rutland. Agnew Continued from Page 7 may also end a series of attacks against women in the Connecticut River Valley in recent years. In August, 1988, 22-year-old Jane Boroski was stabbed about 24 times in West Swanzey, N.H., by a man investigators believe may be Agnews murderer. Boroski survived, the first of the Interstate man victims to live through an attack, and gave a description to police of a man with disarmingly next-door-neighbor looks who drove a Jeep Wagoneer.

Another murder police believe may be linked to the Agnew case is Lynda M. Moore, 36, a housewife stabbed to death April 15, 1986, in the livingroom of her Westminster home. The bodies of three New Hampshire women were also found in the spring of 1986. Ellen Ruth Fried, 27, and 17-year-old Bernice Coutemanche had disappeared in 1984. The third body was of Eva Marie Morse, 27, of WBFL Continued from Page 7 his station and the songs WBFL plays.

Underhill, who called his station an adult rock station, said WKVT plays more new music and current hits. But the remaining area stations play Top 40 music, leaving a door open to WBFL. There wasnt a radio station that was filling (the classic rock) need in this market, Weeks said. Just how successful going through that door will be remains to be seen. The format change has reduced the stations news commitment and the station will not be broadcasting Boston Red Sox baseball games this summer.

Broadcasts of Boston Celtics basketball games will continue through the current season, but Scott said the jury is still out whether the broadcasts will be back next year. WBFL will not know how it is doing until the ratings are Released late this summer. As far as advertising goes, Weeks said the station was expecting to lose advertisers. But he said 90 percent of the stations clients have stayed on. The remaining 10 percent will let their contracts run out and then take a wait-and-see attitude, Weeks said.

The format change had a different effect on listeners. Scott said the music WBFL plays now is targeted for males between the ages of 18 and 40. The country format was designed for a female audience over the age of 35, daughters, Yvette M. Kolstrom of Herndon, and Michelle Julieq of Springfield; two grandchildren; and several cousins. A fUneral Mass will be celebrated Friday at 10 a.m.

in St Marys Catholic Church with tha Rev. James M. Shea, pastor, officiating. Burial will take place in St. Marys Cemetery at a later datq.

Main St. Rutland 25 N. Main St. Wallingford 773-6252 Jeredith P. Lamphere MOUNT HOLLY A graveside service will be held at Evergreen Cemetery in Rutland at a later date for Jeredith Parker Lamphere, 59, of Ridgefield, and Mount Holly.

She died Monday at Danbury, Conn. Miss Lamphere was bom in West Rutland June 30, 1930, daughter of Emmett and Doris Lamphere. She was educated in the West Rutland school system, and was a graduate of the University of Vermont Miss Lamphere was employed in the laboratory at Danbury Hospital for 30 years, except for a two-year leave to work with the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission in Hiroshima, Japan, For the past 27 years she had been supervisor of the Hematology section at the Charlestown, N.H., who disappeared in 1985. All of the women were stabbed to death, were found within about 50 miles of each other, and were apparently not sexually assaulted. Agnew, Fried, Coutemanche, and Boroski were also stabbed in the neck.

Police have followed several leads, such as Boroskis description, but none have paid off yet, Cable said. Cable said police received reports of arrests in other parts of the country for similiar crimes. Although police still have no strong suspects, were always looking at possible suspects, he said. Hill said investigators still believe that the murders are the work of one man. And whether the attacker of Boroski was the serial killer is still a viable theory.

I wont say whether its a primary theory, but the possibility has not been rejected," Hill said. Weeks said the station received about 50 phone calls and 50 letters against the format change during the first week after the station made the switch. Some of the calls were nasty. Lisa Luce, station traffic coordinator, said one caller threatened to come down to the station with a gun while another said the new format was the devils music. The negative calls and letters have since toned down in quality and quantity.

Disc jockeys report a positive response is rapidly developing. Weeks said he recently attended a local high school basketball game and got compliments from seven adults. About half of the 10 member staff stayed through the change. Two disc jockeys have been hired from out-of-state. Unless the ratings are abysmal, all indications from station personnel are that the new format is heretostay.

It's numbers," said disc jockey Mike Roberts, one of the holdovers. You need numbers in this business. The more numbers you have, the better off you are. Springfield Recycles SPRINGFIELD Recycling day will be held in Springfield on Saturday, Jan. 13 from 9 a.m.
