BURKE
HOLDS TOB
TAX LINE
Supervisor John W. Burke
today said he expects to file with
the Town Board on September 15,
a Town budget that will hold the
tax line in 1972. The Generar
Fund tax rate of .616, the High­way
rate of .644 and the Building
and Zoning rate of .083 will
remain the same under the
proposed budget.
The General Fund budget
totals $11,423,073. The Highway
budget is $5,059,621 and the
Building and Zoning budget is
$855,893. Burke said under his
tight fiscal policy he is hopeful of
district budgets.
"The goals and objectives I
outlined to Budget Director
Joseph Macedonio in May of 1971
and on August 30 of this year are
in the process of being achieved,"
Burke said. "The job freeze, plus
a careful line-by-line review of
departmental requests which
resulted in good 'reductions are
the principal factors enabling us
to hold the tax line in 1972. This
stringent fiscal policy will con­tinue
as I am fully cognizant of
the economic pressures currently
weighing upon our homeowners
and my objective is to continue to
provide essential services with
the least amount of spending."
The Town Board previously
enacted a local law which
requires the Supervisor to file his
proposed budget by September
15. Upon review of the Super­visor's
budget, the Town Board
will set a date • for a public
hearing some time in October.
