27, 1970 WELLSVILLE DAILY REPORTER, WELLSVILLE, NEW YORK Special Tax District Set For Chamber Discussion Pago Five Obituaries A proposal to create a special tax district in the central business area will be discussed by the Wellsville Chamber of at a breakfast meeting at 8 a.m. on Wednesday (Dec. 2) in the Community Building. The suggested area, bounded by the Erie Railroad on the East of Main Street, the Genesee River on the West, Pearl Street on the North, and State Street on the South, would be converted into an off-street parking facility. One of these lots would be between Passett Street and State Street and the other between Jefferson and- Pearl streets.

The lots so created would provide 120 additional parking spaces which would be easily accessible for downtown shopping. Certain older, unserviceable buildings in the described area, would be acquired and conveyed to the Village with the Public Works Department doing the demolition, black topping and metering. The Village would also maintain the property. Conferences between Chamber directors and village trustees have been going on during the past several months on the subject and George Harris, village attorney, has established that such a district is legal and feasible. If adopted, property owners in the described area, would be subject to an increased tax rate of approximately $6.50 per $1,000 of assessed evaluation over a ten year period.

Chamber members, property owners and tenants in the downtown area are urged to attend the breakfast meeting and participate in the discussion, Richard Lynch, Chamber president, said. Mr. Harris will answer questions involving the legal aspects of the problem. Reservations should be made in the Chamber office, 103 North Main Street, no later than Monday (Nov. 30).
