The .‘Washington county, tax' rates have been announced, and in 14 of the 17 towns the totàl ¿mount“ of taxes for the support of çoüfttjÉ^aWlJa^ cgQiiera* - ^ > ‘OÉIy W iÜti^hury, Putnam and Whitehall are the rates down a bit. Thé raies jtunped to over the $10 mark for each thousand of assessed valuation in Argyle, Easton, Jackson, Salem and'White Creek. In the other towns the incréase varies from $2 to over $6 a thousand. Just what the levy will be for next year is best shown in the charts printed below. The tax figures in the first chart are for town®, outside incorporated villages. The first column gives the amount to be raised by tax for. the operation of the town. The second column is the levy made against the town for county purposes. The third columii of figures, which is boxed, is the total amount of the tax levy. Not included in the total town tax rates and so not in the total tax figure are special district rates for lighting and water districts, where they exist, and for fire protection where there is mac» tharv one fire district in «tiiwn, The figures to the right ol the names of the towns are die rates for 1975, given for comparison purposes. The second chart gives the total tax rates for the nine incorporated villages in the county. Village property owners pay a general town-wide rate for thè operation of town government. They do not pay taxes on two items in the town highway budgets, nor are they taxed for fire protection for other districts outside the corporation. The 1975 total tax is given to the right. Taxes will be collected by the town collectors during the month of January. If anyone wants to anticipate what Ms tax bill will be he can multiply his assessed valuation by the appropriate amount in the boxed section. 1976 1976 1976 1975 1975 1975 Town Co.

The fire completely leveled their one story frame home on Fly Sum mit road, town of Cam bridge, despite the com bined efforts of firemen of three companies. The explosion quickly involved the ^house in flames. Several residents of the small hatniet of Fly Summit, hearing the noise and seeing the flames through surrounding trees, simultaneously called the Easton Fire company and the Green wich and Cambridge vil lage fire departments. . The Adams fled with only what clothes they could wear and without shoes, to take refuge at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Nadeau, near neighbors, with whom they are how staying. Vicki’s dog escaped with them, but a cat was less fortunate. Everything else was lost. Apparatus from Easton Two station was 'first at the scene in a 'four-mile run, with Easton fire chief Lawrence Riley ^automati cally in overall charge. It was not technically a mutual aid alarm, but the spontaneous response gave the same result. Greenwich, Cambridge, and Easton No. One arrived in quick succes sion, each department dispatching two pumpers and all emefgehcy van, with each Eastori Station also sending a tanker. The men used about half a dozen one-and-one- half-inch lines, from the nearly four thousand gal lons of water that arrived in the combined tanks of all apparatus. The two tankers shuttled water from a refill point below Fly Summit on route 74, being filled by a Cam bridge pumper. The bursting flames lit up the low hanging clouds for about a half-hour until the firemen knocked down the flames and continued to wet down under the glare of portable flood lights. The driveway be came a sea of mud, and apparatus stayed out on the blacktop. A number of spectators were drawn to the area, but created no problems. Fire police handled the small amount of through traffic, and a state trooper and deputy sheriff also responded. The Easton- Greenwich and Cam bridge Valley Rescue squads each sent an ambulance, but there were no injuries reported. The three fire units, through a number of past fires in the area as well as mutual aid drills, are accustomed to cooperat ing effectively in the zone, which is split by the Easton-Cambridge town line. The destroyed home is a short distance inside the town of Cambridge, which has no resident fire unit, but does have fire protection contracts with both the Easton and Cambridge village units. The Cambridge branch American Red Cross dis aster representative is arranging for emergency supply of food and cloth ing to the Adams family, and other relief organiza tions of the area are taking steps to help. Mrs. Howard Schmidt of Fly Summit says she has started a collection of money, clothes, and any other articles people care to contribute for the Adams family She is at home nearly all day every day and will accept articles there. Any who may wish to contribute items of cloth ing will be interested in sizes: Vicki wears size seven clothing, and Mrs. Adams needs blouse size ¿6 and slacks size 12. Other sizes may be obtained from Red Cross, as known. Mrs. Adams also suffered the loss of needed eyeglasses. Easton Chief Riley re leased Chief LeRoy Port- wine’s Cambridge con tingent first, and it ^ re ported back in service at 11:21 p.m. Some of the Greenwich men and equipmeht remained under Chief Wayne Perk ins with Chief Riley and the Easton crews until well after eleven.
