Revenue sharing boosts Collingdale 1979 budget plan
Collingdale Finance Chairman Samuel Collins announced at a revenue sharing hearing that 1979 funds will be used to raise the town budget. The 1979 budget totals about $390,000, up from $361,000, with allocations including $10,000 for administration and $11,000 for two police vehicles, plus sums for senior citizens, library, recreation, and public safety. The revenue sharing offsets part of the $39,000 increase, with millage around 55 mills and no hikes in trash or sewer rents.
