Syrup Bill (Photo By George Kovach) Revenue Sharing To Aid Taxpayers FLOOD PROBLEMS DECUSSED . Legislators from potential flood areas along the Great Lakes ana the Finger Lakes met with re presentatives of State and Fed eral agencies dealing with flood control problems Wednesday at the State Capitol. Shown at the meeting here are (from left): Assemblymen Donald L. Taylor, R., Watertown; Ronald H. Tills of Hamburg; William M. Steln- teldt of Greece; Thomas A. Han na of Webster; and James F. Hurley of Lyons, John E. Foley, Buffalo dis trict director for Internal Rev. enue, reminded taxpayers today of the importance of answering two revenue sharing questions ap pearing on Forms 1040 and 1040 A. In order for the Federal Gov ernment to distribute revenue sharing funds properly to stales, counties, townships and munici palities, the government must know how many people live in each location, Foley said. Correct Information supplied will help Insure lhat all areas receive their (air share of fed eral funds. Foley said lhat one of the rev enue sharing questions relates to the taxpayer’s place of resi dence on Dec. 31, 1972, while the other question deals with dependents who lived elsewhere on that date. Helpful Information on com pleting the revenue sharing ques tions appears tn both the 1040 and 1040A instruct(ons,accordlng to Foley. Foley emphasized that taxpay ers who fail to provide the rev enue sharing Information or who give Incomplete data may find lhat their refunds are delayed because of the additional time required to process the return; Lewis County has received a total of 1317,536 in federal rev- enue sharing funds. The county itself received $159,886.

According to the Assemblyman \No useful state purpose is served by requiring the licens ing and inspection of small-scale maple syrup processing opera tions. In fact no legitimate Just ification has been given for re quiring small syrup producers lo put up with the excessive gov ernmental red tape now required and I feel this constitutes an unreasonable burden on small- scale producers” . Who has ever heard of any one poisoned by maple syrup?\ Haley asked, Haley continued \I think the Agriculture and Markets Depart ment should restrict itself to situations where health problems actually exist.” PROCLAMATION - Lowvllle Mayor Leonard K.
