Attorney Kanell stated that the Beaver County News made a mistake in obtaining information from the County Assessor for a quote on tax rates, stating "all he does is assess property", further explaining that if the assessed valuation or the collection rate goes down "We'd actually be able to raise your taxes a little bit without holding a public hearing."

Councilman Mayer explained that a City well had been turned on under the order of Marvin Magalei, which resulted in rupturing a water line. Repairs were made and a bill for $310 was sent to the School. He further explained that the School rejected the bill, implying that Mr. Magalei was a City employee, and therefore the responsibility should rest with Milford City. After brief discussion, Councilman Mayer recommended another bill be sent to the School with interest added, and if payment is not made, water service will be discontinued. Mayor Mayer read a letter from the Beaver County School Board which indicated that a new formula should be used concerning the distribution of the 1 mil for pool maintenance. The Mayor then read a letter from Milford City stating that the current formula is fair and does not need to be revised.

We want to thank you for taking hold of this program. However, there is still much to be done. I want to thank Mike Swanson and his Troop of Boy Scouts for putting the white rock around the Milford sign at the East entrance to town and cleaning of weeds along Main street, I want to thank LaMarr Morris for the use of his public address system in reminding the town it was clean up time. Cecil Stewart's lot on the hill coming into town from the West looks real good. Bryan Sherwood's property down town is looking good. The big week end of getting the rest of the town cleaned up is here. The ESA Sorority has volunteered to clean up around the Cemetery. The Beta Upsilon Sorority has taken on the task of cleaning up around the park at the old swimming pool. Thank you ladles. Lets go Milford, we need to get the job behind us. i i " J f ' " .tx ft J.
