AVOCA'S WAGE TAX DODGERS FIND OUT KEITH IS SINCERE Avoca Borough is really "cracking down" on its wage tax delinquents On Saturday night fourteen wage earners, who failed to heed the warnings of Lester Keith, School District treasurer, were arraigned before Alderman Frank C. Castellino, of the Tenth Ward, Pittston City, and each was required to pay $9.80. (Castellino is also chief deputy to Recorder of Deeds Samuel Argento at Luzerne County court house.) The 14 who, according to Keith, ignored pleas to arrange for payment of the wage tax from last Jan. 1, agreed to make payments. About $100 was collected et the Squire's office, Keith said.

The 15th person--a womanfailed to appear and she will be brought before Squire Castellino, Mr. Keith said. Keith's 'get tough' program followed letters to 55 Avocans -in arrears in the payment of wage tax--that they visit the wage tax office and make arrangements to start paying delinquent accounts. Most of the 55 ignored the letters, Mr. Keith said.

Prosecution followed. Sixty-five additional letters were dispatched last week "requesting" visits to the tax office regarding arrangements to pay delinquent accounts, the district treasurer reported. Any of the 65, who fail to show good faith by tomorrow, will be served with summons to appear before Alderman Castellino. They face costs and fines ranging up to a $100 maximum, Mr. Keith added.

Mr. Keith, an official of the Moffatt Coal Taylor, and former Avoca burgess and school director, reports that delinquents dating back to last Jan. 1, number in excess of 300. "Everybody that should pay will pay. The only way they can stop me is to fire me," Keith added.

Keith revealed that two of the 14 arraigned Saturday night did not have the costs and were headed for the Luzerne County Jail before he intervened. The two agreed to pay up by Friday. The school district treasurer, who is not a member of the board at present, said he has hired a certified public accountant to audit books of businessmen whose wage tax reports are viewed with skepticism.
