Swarthmore News Roundup 1925 School Levy and Local Events
Twenty years ago a reduction of one mill was made in the 1925 school tax levy as the Board of Education met in special session and adopted a 17 mill assessment while relaying a $6 per capita tax. Guarantors of the Swarthmore Chautauqua are urged to meet at the Municipal building to organize and plan the summer entertainment program starting August 20. City residents adjusted clocks ahead one hour seeking daylight, causing time confusion, while others accepted the new daylight results. Attempts to stop intruders at East Main Street failed as a youth fled and patrolmen pursued. A collision near the fifty eleryetl damaged half the city. Fire marshal investigators are due to probe two fires of suspected incendiary origin from early Saturday.
