The Gazette and Daily, York, Thursday Morning, May II, 1944 4 School Tax Rate Remains Same "wr- III I mm Jlnr AX riY i hj 11 hi West York board adopts budget based on 23 mills. Refuses to exonerate collector from collection of unpaid 1943 taxes. The West York school board adopted the budget for the ensuing year last night and fixed the tax rate at 25 mills for general pur- poses and $2 per capita, the same as last year. Thomas J. Fake, tax collector, submitted to the board a list of unpaid taxes for 1943 of which he asked to be exonerated in order to secure a bond for the 1944 tax duplicate.

The board, in checking these lists, found citizens of the i borough whom they feel are capable of paying their taxes and they, therefore, cannot exonerate the tax collector from the collection of fc these taxes. This does not meaiv that Fake cannot secure the 1944 tax duplicates, as he can secure its release by furnishing the necessary bond. However, the bonding com- pany will not issue a bond ordinarily when the tax collector has not made settlement in full for the Photo by The Gazette and Daily PROUD OF TULIPS AND FLOWER GARDEN Pictured above is Miss Virginia Kahler with some of her many tulips in her garden at the back of her house at 112 South Pershing avenue.

Theodore Mc-Keldin. mavor of Baltimore, will Netvs I Farmers are now relieved of the necessity of collecting red points from consumers except when selling butter, cheese or portions of beef which contain some of the prime cuts still rationed.

OPA will mail upon request copies of the revised trade meat chart which tells the farmer how many points to collect at the reduced current rate. The practice of making a number of red points good in advance so that consumers can buy beef in quantity will also be continued. OPA also reminds those who put up home canned vegetables for sale that the reduction of peas, snap beans, spinach, corn, tomatoes and other canned vegetables to zero on the commercial point chart means that these foods may be sold (or given away) free from rationing restrictions. The large amounts of home canned food last year is partly responsible for the present no-point, low-point values on most vegetables. Because of the wide variety of meats now ration free, it was decided that hereafter blocks of three red stamps with a total value of 30 points will be validated only every four weeks instead of every two weeks.

Accordingly, red stamps US, V8 and W8 will become for use on June 4 stead of May 21, as was previously announced. Businesses operating under OPA suspension orders that forbid them to handle rationed meats may resume handling the meats whose point values have been reduced to zero. Suspension orders now outstanding still remain effective, however, as far as they apply to rationed foods that still have point values. New supplies of rationed foods which now have a point value cf zero (cooking oils, fats and meats, except butter, and roast and steak cuts of beef) may be ordered by industrial and institutional users as long as they still have a 30 days' supply on hand it was announced at the local rationing office yesterday. When they do order they are required to buy in the smallest quantities that they customarily order, and if their smallest-normal orders have been larger than a 45 days' supply they must cut their order to this amount.

It was explained that this regulation is designed to forestall any attempts at hoarding by laying in excessively large quantities. accredited veteran welfare agency to serve as a "connecting link" between the government and persons the government is ready to help.
