Sales tax to be top issue in 1954 elections
Democratic state chairman Senator Joseph M. Barr says the one per cent sales tax will be the principal campaign issue in 1954. He and Senator George M. Leader push it as a key topic for State Senate and House candidates, while Republicans predict re enactment in 1955 with possible exemptions. Both parties expect over five million voters registered for the gubernatorial year, with September 11 as the registration deadline.

Barn Burns On Titusville Road With $10000 Loss
A barn on Anthony Zaremba's farm five miles west of Titusville burned during a Saturday electrical storm, destroying a 50 by 80 foot two story structure, a granary and machinery. About 9000 bales of hay and livestock survived, with three fire companies protecting adjacent buildings. The origin is believed to be a lightning bolt, and insurance partially covers the loss.
