' Voorheesville Election To Be Biggest In Its History The coming.election of trustees of the Village of Voorheesville wiil re- flect the sentiment of the citizens concerning the improvement and de- velopment of the village. The 'board of trustees, acting as a board of assessors, recently reviewed the tax assessment roll and came to the conclusion that increased reve- nues to meet operating costs of the village and cost of improvements could 'best be realized in conjunction with an effort to equalize property assessments'. Tax assessments were elevated to what was felt 'to 'be realistic valuation. However, there was extensive dis- agreement among property holders, as reflected in a petition bearing 166 names, which requested that property assessments be returned to original figures. Although the village 'board felt that justice and the 'best interest of the community lay in a move 1p increase 'assessments, they granted the relief requested by petitioners. They returned- assessments to the 1956 figure with the exception of a few properties 'that were considered assessed too low. In view of the essential improve- ment to the village which must be made in order to attract and hold new business enterprises in the vil- lage, additional revenue will have to be found. Such problems as am-' proved drainage facilities, new 'and improved streets and repairs', light- ing and piiblic safety have, t o be solved. If assessments are heft in- creased the tax rate will have t o be increased. A number of forward steps feeding to the growth, development and fi- nancial security of the village and its residents are already under way. A new manufacturing plant which will employ 300 persons will be in full operation before the coming fall. Forty new homes are needed itnmed^ iately and plans for a housing de- velopment to 'be completed iby fall are well' under way. The policy of the present village 'board reflects the feeling that there are genuine' opportunities to move ahead, in benefit to every resident in the village, and for their children. The trustees 1 have devoted their full effort to assisting in realizing these possibilities. The present board of trustees, the Honorable George W. Vunck, mayor; Bernard 1 Pafunda, J. Garth Johnson, John Hallenibeck 'and Edward Relyea, will appreciate tbt^. support of the citizens of the village -to the election of two trustees in the coming elec- tion on Mar. 19.
