Scherle Honored as Outstanding West Town Legislator
Rep William J Scherle known for leading against the 3 per sales tax was named one of two outstanding west Town legislators by the statehouse press corps. His cross party appeal has prompted party caucuses and concerns among higher tax factions in the Assembly. In Malvern two sales drew big crowds with brisk bidding. The Gas Green sale opened fast then stalled at 4200 as the owner refused further bidding. The Edith Barkus estate night sale saw brisk bidding and strong prices.
