Council ,Approves Budge:l For 1953, Asks $190,539 From PHA Pending Sale

ALout a dozen citizens witnessed city council approval of the 1953 budg•3t, calling for an expenditure of $259,391. Mayor Frank Lal5t,1Cr was authorized to negotiatE:: with Public Housing Administration for a "payment in lieu of taxes" of S190,539. (If the expected sale of homes to Greenbelt Veteran Housing Corpora­tion is completed by January 1, the federal government's pa::;ment will be made only for htose apar_tments it will continue to operate. GVH will not have any "control" over the budget ..

The tax rate for real property was estnbli.,hed at $3.5141 per $100 assesseci Yaluation, and the per­sonal proJ;crty tax on local busi­nesses continues to be $1 per $100 evaluation.

No cuts or r.dcitions to the budg­c:·t were made during the hearing. Alt.hough this year's figure exceeds hoth last ye&.r's $247,659 and the 1951 total of $226,556. much of the incren.se is due to added costs from ~1cquirir.g ownership of adGitionai property 1Jy dedication from the federal government. Reyenue and costa of the water system are not included, since the utility's owner­ship is 'still in doubt. Figures for the main departments are - legis­iative and exe'cutiv~?, $22,807; pub­lic' safety, $42,115; roadways and highway lighting, $28,62R; sanita­tion and waste removal, $38,307; recreation, $64,381 <this includes Community building, 1nunicipal parks, library, and organized rec­reation).

A(ld Taxes?

One citizen urged the counci) to raist:' the pen~onal property tax. He !'ta ted that the $2,334 derived from t).rct:'!lbt:lt Consumer Rf:orvi~t?S dne:;::

not pay fer the services the ~ity vrovides that businc•ss. Businesses ps well as residen;;s should hear the burden cf taxes, he added. In rPp1y, Mayor Lastner declared that raising the tax would be' unfair to GCS "ince other comn-;unities ~ave lower t-:J.x rate;;. Also. he stated, future businesses . in Greenbelt would he' rlriven aw~y by the hm-­clc>n of taxatiou. He cited instances of small industries milking inquiry about locating on Greenbelt prop-

Relnt Raise ~ssurE~d, G\lHC Members Ki,ll S~O% Clause, C) K LCJrnd Purchase

By Harry l\1. Zubkoff

A qt,orum showed up at the meiJlbership meeting last night promptly at 8:30 p.m., an unprecedented occurence i:P- Greenbelt. The meeting moved along rapidly, and the last item of business was concluded shortly after 10:30.

President Mike Salzman, in his opening addres£, allayed the fears of members with regard to the rent situation, assuring them that there was no danger of any financial loss to the corporation or to members insofar as subsidizing unsold units is concerned. Yes­terday afternoon, he announced, the Office of Rent Stabilization had signed a rent raiise for Greenbelt which would be sufficient to carry all the unsold units without loss to the corporation ...

Non-Union Emitloyees Of IGCS: Get Raises

A c:ost-of-living increase fo:· Grcenbc:lt Consumer Services em­ployees nol ccvered by a union con­t~ac<: w.J.s approved by the Cooper­r,_ti·.-.-·'s board of dir?ctors at its reg­t:lar meeting last Friday night.

Acting on the suggestion of Bas­s<'tt [<'prguson. who substituted for Sam Ashelman at the meeting, the board voted a wage :increase- for lhc non-t:.nion employees, to be bascci on the increase in Bureau of Labor Statistics figures for the pe­riod of November 15, 1951 to No­vember 15, 1952, and to become ~f­rective on the release of th;~ new index.

He-nry vV·alter's motion to place on notice for one year a change in lhe State c-l::a rter reducing the quo­rum was tabled until legal opinion is obt'l.in•.'d.

p:·o'·" tile quorum situation, Henry \\'alter suggested that the boarrl tak(· now the steps necessary to :-educe the quorum requirements. He: would change the q·calrum fron1 the: :c'lresent 5 percent (which is 176 mPr:1 1l(·rs) to 5 percent or 100 nwmbPrs .. ,.·hichPver 1s smaller.

year of operation, all residents-- -buyers anrl non-buy2rs alike--will be paying monthly charges in ae­ccrdance with the maximum rent sc:hedulP~ set up by ORS, rathe::­Lhan the monthly payments .origi­nally scheduled by GVHC. This r~.:--tion i:; b<'ing taken because PHA has granted a moratorium on th,~ principal< payment for the first­year, which the corporation is pass­ing :-:long· to thp members. Tl~c rent increases will range from about 20 to 30% and wlll be ap­proximat,~ly 95% of the figun ·which GVHC sci1eduled for month­ly payments. <PHA is expected to post the :new rent schedules in the next few days.)

Percentage (.,"'h.an!i:ed

A motion was adopted, at the board's re~ommendation, to abol­ish the 907:0 dollar limitation which thr- membErship had imposed at a previous meeting. This limitation would hav(· prevented the ce>nsum­mation of the sale until 9•J% of the dollar \·aluation of the tc.tal hous­ing property sold. It was imposed said Salzman, at a time when all the factor.3 were unknown, and was intended t•) safeguard the mem­bership frc·:n taking a!l. undue risk. Now, how.··~v£>r, since these un­known factors have been r:csolved, the board r~commc-nded that the sale be costmmated sub]ect only to the limitct.tion that the J::oard de­termiHe to :ts satisfaction that the c>orporaion would hav,:, enough working C3.pital to proc•~ed. A!l amendment by board mer.lher Bernani Bordenet i'urther required that this c.e~ermination ·:Je made Ly a 2

Salzman :~cported t~at the cor­poration h2cl entered into an agree­ment with the People's Develop­ment Corporation, whi•~h had been approved by PHA, to purchase a!l ROO ac~es of uncleveloned land. This will b~ d:me at r{o liabi!it\· whatsoeve-r to the corpora.!:ion o-r its members, a requirement whkh the lTIPmbcnhip had laid down at a previous meeting. Under the tetrms of th .:> agTeement, PDC will lend G VHC $150,0('0 for the down payment c..;n L'f:le undeveloped J.and. In return, ::='DC required that il~ 1f.l53 a mas1.2r plan be d1;.velope'd for the USP of the land, and that every effort be made to start a housing prc:j'ct as soon as possible. As a matter of fact, the Coopera­tive Housin:; Fedemtion has al· ready started to develop such a mastec plan, and will unde1i.ake to have it approved by the prope,­Z'lning auth )rities.
