Budget Down Taxes Up In Trainer School District
The Trainer School Board approves a 1963 64 budget of 213 050 down 17 175 from the current year while the tax rate rises two mills to 51. The reassessment of Stanffer Chemical Co property causes a 20 000 assessment loss and new trailer assessments align with other homes. The plan funds two foreign language teachers for grades 4 8 and a new educational TV program. Also approved a pay cut for longtime secretary Raymond Fitzsimmons to 1 400, to reflect reduced workload. The board will send 10th grade students to Chester Junior and Senior Highs next fall with public transportation. A June 21 hearing on selling N Z Graves property for delinquent taxes is noted, with proposed park recreation use by the borough. Delinquent taxes total 150 000.

Collingdale Grants Road Aid After Funding Backstory
Collingdale received 17 500 dollars in county aid for road improvements on a matching basis. The county commissioners revoked a 50 000 dollar grant tied to federal funds that did not materialize. Mayor Ruthrauf sought 25 000 dollars but funds were deemed insufficient. A revised plan reduced need to 17 300 dollars and was approved after engineers confirmed 24 000 dollars remained in the liquid fuel tax fund.
