CANCEL INCREASE OF FIRE DEPARTMENT TAX,RATE EJECTION: Alderman Tistle made the following report: "At The Council meeting January 2, 1962, your Fire Committee moved that City Attorney Dowd be instructed to prepare an ordinance for referendum to increase the Eire Department tax rate. "At a subsequent meeting of the Fire Committee, this subject was again reviewed in some detail. "While the committee recognizes that -monies are transferred from the sales tax fund to clear the Fire Department deficit at each year end, this transfer is not unusual - as the intent of the state legislature in giving the cities and village the right to claim the half -cent sales tax was that such money should be used for Police and 'ire Department assistance. "A further review of the sales tax fund of the City of ,Des Plaines indicates that these monies are being properlyy used for Police and -Fire Department purposes when needed; therefore, at this time, there is no deed for an increase in the Fire Department tax levy, which we ,:a11 recognize means additional tax expense to our home owners. "Your Fire Committee) therefore) recommends that any action on the referendum pre- viously suggested be withheld. "In closing, we wish to state, however, that as we continue to add additional fire- men and policemen to our present complement, there will be a need to revive the request for a fire tax referendum. Your Fire Committee will keep abreast of this situation and will recommend further action as the situation develops." .On motion by Alderman Tistle and seconded by Figard the Council concurred in the report.
