Pleasant, could boost the .wllage tax rate either 51 cents |jrer $1,000 assessed valuation or $2.48 per $1,000 depending on how improvements in the area are financed. tax rate. The residents, by virtue of being in the school district, are eligible for the vil lage recreation programs. They now lack municipal gar bage collection, sanitary sewers and street lighting, and would like these services. The cost of installing an eight-inch sanitary sewer, 15-inch storm drain, an eight-inch water pipe as part of a study for the village on the effects of annexing 92 properties in the Sarles Lane- Mountain Road area, 200 feet from the Saw Mill River Park- |way. The report was presented Monday night at the village board meeting. Late last year 39 property owners representing 41 parcels of land petitioned the village board of trustees for annexation to the village. I RAYMOND AND May estimates that 224 persons live in the area which is now in the Pleasantville school district and would not increase the school population or the school be $463,515 financed over 20 at five per cent interest The annual debt service would be $37,194 for each of the 20 years. It was estimated that police, parks and recreation, street maintenance, cleaning and snow removal, lighting, re fuse collection, sanitary sewer maintenance, water and general administration for the area would be $24,891.44. Balanced against the anticipated tax revenue of $15,333 this would produce an annual deficit of $46,752. The figure is reduced dramatically if the new improvements are assessed against the property owners in the proposed annexation area. The deficit, if financed this way, would be $9,558 a year. The net tax increase per household in the annexation area would be $287.81 a year. THE STUDY points out that there are 14 acres of vacant land in the area which theoretically accommodate a maximum of 41 one-family houses, but because the terrain is rocky and sharply sloped, the firm puts the number of buildable lots at 35. Eventual development of these 35 parcels would be a net tax increase of 34 cents per $1,000 assessed valuation The study .also said that about 32.6 per |cent of all village revenues come from non-property tax sources such as per capita state aids, fees and parking revenues. \Many of these revenues are determined by the number of residents in the village. These sources of income cannot be accurately accounted for in the present estimate of potential re venues from the annexation area,\ the report says. The annexation area is \significantly oriented toward the village of Pleasantville in terms of daily activities of its residents such as shopping, the use of schools and parks, and ' C H OIRBOY,* prizewinnlng barbecue to be held at St. James Church, Routes 116 and 124, in North Salem Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. —Staff Photo by Kaplan Barbecue will start at 6.

It is feasible to extend utility lines from the village to the • area, the report also said ' Currently there are 57 developed • properties, most of them one. family homes on 10,000 square- foot lots. There are a few two family houses, one multi-family - unit and a warehouse type busi ness structure straddling the town-village line. Providing water should, present no problem and many of the residents now get water from Pleasantville and pay a double bill — one to the village and one to the town. THE VILLAGE is studying the report, and department beads assessing the figures against their own. Before any action is taken, the village will hold a public hearing as some of the homeowners in the an nexation area did not petition' for annexation. The village will also haye to confer with town- officials. One concern is that by opening up the village to this area, other areas that have been pressing for annexation, such as parts of Manville Road, would be encouraged to a more aggressive stance.

According to treasury sources the use of those large denominations has declined sharptly over the past two decades and the need for them appears insufficient to warrant the added cost of production and custody of new supplies The large denomination notes were first authorized primarily for interbank transactions by an amendment to the Federal Reserve Act of 1918. With demand for them shrinking, printings of new notes of these denominations were discontinued in 1946, and the supply on hand at that time has now diminished to the point where continued issuance of such notes would require additional printings. Surveys have indicated that transactions for which the large denomination notes have been used could be met by other means, such as checks or $100 notes. Under the decision, all existing supplies of large denomination bills at the Federal Reserve Banks will be turned over to the Treasury for destruction, and notes now in circulation will also meet the same fate as they are returned to the Federal Reserve through normal transaction If you should have any $10,000 notes in your collection, hold on to them as they will become collectors items. In case you are wondering how many are in circulation, there were only 383 $10,000 notes, 643 $5,000 notes, 291,894 $1,000 notes and 488,295 $300 notes in cerculation in 1968. of preparation, Whitman's Guide Book of Mexican Coins 1822 to Date, by T.

This new catalog is available through most book stores, hobby shops, and coin dealers for $4. In 1954 a small number of English pennies bearing that date were struck to test the dies As no order for pennies materialized, all of the trial pieces, except the only known surviving sample, were destroyed along with the dies.
