."BEACHWOOD—The board of commissioners last night introduced the boro's 1949 budget as a crowd of 100 persons filled the community building and heard Mayor Charles Hotaling reveal that the amount required to be raised for local purposes would be decreased this year by $2.50 for each 51,000 of valuation.
Mayor Hotaling declared the local purpose tax is the only part of the budget the board regulates. " was brought out the 1949 rate could not be revealed since the county and school tax rates have not been etermined. The 1948 rate was $71.90.
The mayor told the gathering that the rate in the last 10 years has increased $2.50. He said this is an increase of only 8% and is 'good considering the many improvements we have.' Mayor Hotaling reminded that the boro owns the community building, a library, bathing beach, boardwalk, boat arbor, first-aid and fire department, fire alarm system and a water system which brings in revenue.
The audience applauded the mayor, when after reports of many community organizations were given, he asked if the reports should be made at the annual budget meeting.
"Mayor Hotaling reported the Athletic club plans to rebuild the athletic field and construct floodlights."
Abe Winslow was thoughtful enough to clip and mail this item from the San FranciscoChronicle:
"Mrs. Arthur J. Cohen Jr. has been named chairman of the San Francisco committee of Sarah Lawrence College alumnae supporting the college's annual fund drive."
Which can also be used as a reminder our own tubs are thumping for a bigger and better contribution to the Alumni Fund this year. Why not contribute early and help the Committee in more ways than one?
