cap waivergoes
Township voters will not only becasting ballots April 18 on a 1995-96 school year budget, but also ona cap waiver which, if approved,would continue the school sys-tem's practice of providing stu-dents with busing in excess of staterequirement. '
The Board of Education Mondaynight gave its approval to a resolu-tion calling for the placement ofthe cap waiver on next month'sballot., The busing cap waiver, under.school election law, would beeffective only if the basic budget
__won.approval.from!.the.voters.-Anaffirmative cap-waiver vote wouldbe null and void if the board'sbudget proposal were defeated.
The action supporting placementof the busing cap waiver on theballot was approved through a 6-1-1 vote of the board.
Supporting the move wereNancy Larner, William Rosen-blatt, Corinne Errico, CarolMarcus, Steven Safer and BennettWasherman. The negative vote wascast by the board's president,Vivian Steinberg; abstaining fromthe vole was Abby Kalan while theninth member of the school bddy,Russ Fradin, was absent from themeeting.
Approval of the $219,790 capwaiver would add an additional 1-point onto next year's tax rate.The basic budget, as it now stands,calls for a 14-point increase intaxes. •• •
Ms. Steinberg, in explaining hernegative vote, said that while theboard did not want to reducebusing, she felt if the busing ques-tion were put on the ballot thisyear it would remain an "on-goJMfrjsaMvifrllwjwin^
the board had a responsibility tobus the younger children and thatit "horrifies me to think of 5-, 6-,7- and 8-year-olds walking along

Charges of double dip-ping—including funding for identi-cal purposes in both the $22.4 mil-lion bond issue which will bebefore Itje public March 28 and inthe proposed school budget for the199S-.96 school year—wererejected by the Board of Educationand the school system's director oftechnology, Julie Conrad, at Mon-day's school board meeting.
Ms. Conrad, in her remarks atthe board meeting, said the bondissue proposal drafted by the .Citizens Advisory Committee andsubmitted to the Board of Educa-tion, called for $2.4 million inspending in the technological area."The board," Ms. Conrad con-tinued, "accepted the $2.4 millionrecommendation, but not the line-by-line outlays" suggested by theCAC.
As an example, she pointed outthe CAC report called for anexpenditure of $200,000 on a newphone system for the school sys-tem. The school administration,however, advocated the phone sys-tem be acquired through a lease-~ 'ikie agreement >nd that

- A U.S. Federal District Courtjudge this week ordered that thismunicipality's costs in defendingitself against charges brought by aformer township police officer bepaid by (he police officer'sattorneys.
The ruling was handed downMonday by Judge John BisselWho, in January dismissed on sum-mary judgment a law suit initiatedby Richard Manis. In the suit theformer Millburn Police Depart-ment captain charged the munic-ipality, in violation of his constitu-tional rights, had.forced him intoretirement.
Attorneys representing Mr.Manis have already lodged anappeal of Judge Bissel's Januaryaction and it is possible that areversal of Monday's ruling by thefederal judge will be sought.
Judge Bissel's January ruling—as was his ruling of this week-grew out of the failure of theretired police officer's attorneys tonotify the court prior to trial thatIhe retirement agreement whichMr. Manis signed in 1993 con-tained a provision that he wouldnot bring any legal action againstthe township.
The municipality, in the sameretirement document, agreed todrop 34 charges it bad pendingagainst the police officer. In thosecharges the munic ipal i tymaintained Mr. Manis had sUb-
jected a female member of thedepartment with "a continuing andpervasive pattern of sexual harass-ment and verbal abuse."
Mr. Manis has, since 1993,consistently described the chargesas untrue.
technological field.In addition to her statement at
Monday night's board meeting,Ms. Conrad is also the author of alelter-to-the-editor published onPage 4 pertaining to the double-dipping charge. In that letter shestates that although there are someduplications for spendingproposals in the bond issue and thebudget, she does not "consider this(to be) double-dipping, but rathersound planning."
The double-dipping charge wasoriginally voiced two weeks, agoby Philip Schaefer, who served onthe CAC and is a candidate forelection to the school board, andwas the subject of an editorial inlast week's edition of The Item.
In addition to the phone systemfunding, questions have beenraised pertaining to the CAC'scomputer purchase recommenda-tion and the inclusion in the pro-posed budget of funds to purchase19 computers for special educationuse.
Kenneth Rempell, who alsoserved on the CAC and who'also is» ctndidtlo for;el60tionto»UioBoard'of Education, said at Mon-day's school board meeting that he"didn't believe there was double-dipping" but went on to say that"some questions" remained.
Mr. Rempell said the CACrecommendation on the purchaseof computer hardware covered notjust the regular classrooms, butalso provided the equipment forthe special education students.
On that point, board presidentVivian Steinberg responded thatshe believed it was "prudent" and"a sensible move" to place fundingfor the purchase of computers forthe special education students inthe budget if the student's individ-ualized educational plan called foruse of that equipment.
The double-dipping questionalso drew the attention of a thirdBoard of Education candidate,

chance of its surviving a vote."The vote on the busing cap
waiver climaxed nearly three hours
of discussion which included com-ments from Peter Carter, EssexCounty superintendent of schools,
0 Y"~ and warnings from various mem-V/1> bers of the public that if the board
did not provide busing next yearon the same basis as it had in thepast, they would urge their neigh-bors to vote against the proposedbudget.
Mr. Carter told the more than100 person's who attended themeeting in the Education Centerthat he "understood and wassympathetic" to the concerns ofparents, Mr. Carter continued thatthe education commissioner'soffice shared those concerns, but"responsibility for safety understate law is that of municipalgovernments."
Mr. Carter strongly indicatedthat if the Board of Education wereto include courtesy busing in itsbasic budget proposal, it would bepenalized through a reduction inthe amount of taxes it could raisethrough the commissioner's capwaivers. "If you Were not seekinga commissioner's cap waiver," hesaid, "you could bus from here toSummit."
"I am appalled," Irwyn Alpertof 26 Parkview Drive told theboard, "that we can sit here andlisten' to the state mandate how ourtax dollars can be spent. No one intheir right mind can think ofallowing a kindergarten or fourthgrade student to cross MillburnAvenue."

The South Mountain,EstatesCivic Association this weekbecame the second township civicgroup to announce its endorsementof the Board of Education's pro-posed $22.4 million school expan-sion program.
The South Mountain group'sendorsement was announced fol-lowing its meeting last Thursdayevening with representatives of theCitizens Advisory, Committee, thegroup which framed the proposedbond issue, and school boardmembers.
A week ago the bond issuereceived the endorsement of thecouncil of the Short Hills Associa-tion.
In its announcement of thisweek, the South Mountain groupnoted that it had taken no positionon the school board's unsuccessfulattempt in October to win voterapproval of a $36.8 million expan-sion program. The new proposal,the association stated, "representsnot only a fiscally responsibleexpenditure, but includes specificfunds dedicated to the renovation,and reopening of the SouthMountain School which hasbecome a major area of concern toresidents of this community."
The statement continued that the^ ^ „.„,.„ association was "satisfied" theE r T r t n r i a l * " " " " ' " 4 ' ) o a r ( ' w ' " commit 'he fundsF, , '" \n .needed to renovate and return theMovies • • • • • I» south Mountain School to publicReligious n e w s . . o use and noted there were no fundsSocial . . . . . : • • ' contained in the bond issueSports • 8 , 9 proposal for the reacquisition of

"Icannot say in good conscience,"Mr. Dilyard told the board, "that Ican support the budget."
What undoubtedly was the mostingenious solution to the courtesybusing dilemma was voiced byMarc Wiesenthal, father of a Deer-field kindergarten student.
"Why don't we play games(with Ihe state)?" Mr. Wiesenthalasked. "Send my child to the Wyo-ming School and send the Wyo-ming students to Deerfield."
Another suggestion, this fromBoard of Education candidatePhilip Schaefer, was to have a$220,000 busing cap waiver on theballot which would be offset by a$220,000 line-item appropriationfrom surplus.
"With all due respect ,"responded Carol Marcus, the onlyboard incumbent. running forreelection next month, "I think thecommissioner would see throughthat."
The board had been scheduled tocontinue its line-by-line reviewMonday night of the administra-tion's proposed budget for thecoming school year, but due to thelength of the discussion on busing-the board adjourned without con-tinuing the review.
Under statute the board mustadopt a 1995-96 school budget inthe precise amount it will be sub-mitted to taxpayers at its nextmeeting. That session will be heldMarch 27. '• " ~

The waiver is inaddition to a commissioner's capwaiver that is expected to be partof the 1995-96 budget.

Those of us who want busing forour children also have a formid-able task, because if the budgetdoes not pass the voter's capwaiver also will not pass. Wetherefore have to' make sure thebudget has been put together .wise-ly and responsibly. One thing wecan do is make our own concernsabout budget items known to theboard and make it respond to usuntil we are fully satisfied with theanswer.

By Robert SandersChairman,Citizens Advisory Commltteo
Following-the defeat of a pro-posed $36.8 million bond issue inOctober, the Board of Educationappointed a 20-man CitizensAdvisory Committee representinga widely diverse group of viewsfrom the township to develop arevised capital program. As anactive member of the CAC, Iwould like the residents ofMillburn to consider—and to sup-port—our recommendations.
The principal issue'involved isthat we must accommodate a rapid-
. ly increasing number of students inour school system. Today we haveabout 1,150 pupils in our fourelementary schools; by the year2000 we will have about 1,910, amore than 50 per cent increase.Corresponding figures for the highschool are 740 and 906.
It was clear' in October that -' many people had concern about.thevalidity of these numbers. Thesefigures, however, are based on acount of pre-kindergarten childrenin tholownship and supported by aprofessional demographer whoreviewed birth statistics and otherrelevant factors.
The accompanying graphpresents our elementary (kinder-garten through fifth grade) schoolsituation. It shows dramaticallythat we need more space. Highschool classroom needs do notgrow so rapidly, but the increasein kindergarten through fifth gradestudents reflected in the graph willwork its way into grades ninethrough 12 which will continue togrow well into the next century.
Our expansion plans—andbudget proposal—take account ofthis inevitable development. Foryears after 2000, the then-existingschool boards will have to plan for

Food driveEditor, The Item:
Millburn High School's boyslacrosse team conducted its secondannual community food drive ear-lier this month for the benefit ofthe food pantry of the Millbura-Short Hills Chapter of the Amer-ican Red Cross. Members of theteam spent a good part of a Satur- 'day outside the Morris TurnpikeKings and Shop Rite marketshanding out flyers and collectingfood and cash donations.
On behalf of all staff andvolunteers at the chapter I wouldlike to thank everyone who so gen-erously contributed food andmoney. Supermarket gift certifi-cates wil| be purchased with thecash received so that, in addition,to the non-perishable items, col-lected, residents will be able topurchase perishable items as well.
Most especially we express ourgratitude to the'boys who have uptheir. Saturday, not only to collectthe more than 1,600 pounds offood, but who also sorted anddelivered the food to the chapterhouse.

"To date," Ms.: Smallman said,"the board has been negligent inarticulating its educational

Ms. Steinberg reacted to thosecomments by. saying:
"We have done nothing, butspeak about our plan and ourpriorities for. the past one and one-half years. We are addressing (theiss'uesjrormcreased enrollment,"
Board.member WilliamRosii-blatt then said he "agreed com-,

A Mickey Mantle autograph can bring a smile to die faceof a 40 year old as easily as a Ken Griffey Jr. signature to a child. Autographcollecting can also be rewarding financially, but never let that cloud the truemeaning of collection-en|oyment Manyof thecurrent day athletes have pennedtheir names numerous times so their signatures are not truly scarce. Certainnames such as Mantle, DIMagglo, Jordan, Ryan, O'Neal, etc., have an elitestatus to their signatures arid their autograph! should stand the test of time.But, there are no absolute guarantees that something will rise In value. That Iswhy you must en|oy what you purchase as your first priority- The'more difficulttha autograph, die better the chance of rising value.I. Always ask for a letter of authenticity with your autograph. Thismeans that the dealer Is guaranteeing your autograph U authenticand he or she backs the signature.J. Ybur authenticity Is onlyaigood as the person and store behind ItUnless you obtained the autograph yourself, you are relying on thedealer you purchase from. . . . <3. Honesty, reputation, and Integrity are essential. Be comfortablewith the person from whom you buy, and purchase from a wellestablished dealer In your area. Always rememberll . •'

Merrill Lynch Study HighlightsSavings Shortfall ^A new analysis on the financial wealth of American families commissioned by MerrillLynch reveals that half of American families currently have less than $1,000 in netfinancial assets.
"The financial wealth of American families remains at a woeful low, and thesenumbers provide further evidence for what is already an urgent need for a national-plan to increase savings and investment," says John L. Steffens, executive vice presi-dent of Merrill Lynch's Private Client Group.
Classifying families by the age of the "family head," the analysis found thatfamilies headed by individuals 44 yean of age and below have median net financial'assets of just $700. Even families on the verge of retirement, headed by individualsaged 55 to 64, have median financial assets of only $6,880. Those families with thehighest level of median net financial assets ($10,000) are headed by .individuals aged65 to 74. 'Y
Overall, the median level of net financial assets for all U.S. families amounts toapproximately $1,000, the analysis concludes. The analysis was conducted by Dr..Joseph M. Anderson, president of Capital Research Associates, a Washington, D.C.-based economic consulting firm.
"These findings show two things," Mr. Steffens added. "First, that the public'by and large knows a lot less than it needs to know about the fundamental facts of theAmerican economy and about likely consequences of public policies. And second,that those who most need to save and invest' for their own futures have no ideahow important it is to do so."

Financial ServicesCEOs Are Highest PaidCEO compensation is highest in the financial servicesindustry, according to a new study by The ConferenceBoard. . v
Median CEO total compensation (salary and bonus)in the financial services sector was $1,094,000 in 1993,the latest year for which complete data are available. Thisindustry includes diversified financial service and invest-ment firms but excludes banking and insurance.
It is the first year in the 31-year history of this studythat median CEO pay has broken a million dollars. Thecurrent study analyzes the total compensation of die fivehighest-paid executives in 538 companies in nine majorindustries. ' ~
"The levelof CEO pay in financial services reflects'.the prominence of incentive or bonus pay linked toannual firm performance in this industry," says CharlesPeck, Conference Board compensation specialist. "Theseincentives are highly leveraged. In a good year, paymentsare very substantial; in a bad year, they range fromlittle to none."*
THE BONUS FACTORAll the participating financial service firms paid a bonus
' in 1993, with the median CEO bonus amounting to 91%of salary. In the other eight industry sectors ranged froma low of 87% in manufacturing to 100% in communica-tions^The median CEO bonus in these industries rangedfrom 32% of salary,in utilities to 69% in manufacturing.
LONG-TERM COMPENSATION"The stock option continues to be the most widely usedlong-term compensation device," says Peck. "Althoughits future had become uncertain in the face of proposalsby the Financial Accounting Standards Board to. modifyits 'costless' accounting treatment, that .eventuality nowseems more problematic."

The New "Nanny Tax"The newly-enacted Social Security Domestic Employment ReformAct of 1994 eases the burden of paying employment taxes andfiling returns for domestic workers, such as maids, baby sittters,gardeners, etc. (known as "Nanny Tax"). Starting in '94, you don't'have to pay or withhold Social Security taxes on a domestic work-er's wages unless you pay them at least $1,000 during the calendaryear (instead of $50 in a calendar quarter as was the case in '93).Refunds for amounts already paid in 1994 can be requested^ Oncea worker's wages reach $1,000 for the year, tax is due on the fullamount. Beginning in 1995, wages paid to a domestic employeeunder age 18 (except those whose principal occupation is house-hold employment) are normally exempt from Social Security taxes.Additionally, you will be able to report.and pay born Social Securityand federal unemployment taxes on your own Form 1040 return,instead of reporting them on separate returns. Thus, 1995 taxeswon't be due until April 1996. Be careful, however. These rulesdo not apply to any state taxes that may be due. .
ESTIMATED PAYMENT REQUIREMENTSAlthough payroll taxes related to domestic' employees are report-
, ed on the employer's Form 1040 beginning with the 1995 return,such taxes do not need to be considered for estimated paymentor withholding purposes until 1998. For 1995 to 1997, the entiretax will be due on April 15 of the following year when the returnis filed or extended. '

Career MovesWorkers have long been expected to move for the sake oftheir careers. But according to a recent survey, Americansare becoming more reluctant to put themselves and theirfamilies through the trauma of a move for the sake of theircareers. The survey was conducted by EDK Forecast, anexecutive newsletter based in New York City that trackswomen consumers' issues. Among the 1,000 married adultssurveyed nationwide, a majority (61%) wouldn't pull upstakes to advance their careers or even to save their jobs.
By a margin of 48% to 31%, married men are morelikely than married women to accept a transfer tied to amove. Moving just to keep a job is even less appealingthan moving to get a promotion — only 36% of men and26% of women would follow their jobs to a new town.
Women are more likely than men to encourage theirspouses to accept a promotion (69% vs. 53%). Men preparedto move for their own careers form the bulk of those whowould move for their spouses' (77%), indicating that theyconsider both careen of equal importance.

To help ease anxiety, about financial concerns, the National Endowment for FinancialEducation" (NEFE") is offering consumers a free "Wealth Care Kit."

The kit addresses such key topics as retirement, insurance, investments, estate,and income tax planning.
Worksheets and checklists are provided that guide the readerthrough such exercises as developing a personal balance sheet, rank-ing investment objectives, and starting to plan for retirement. Severalsections include glossaries of key terms to acquaint the reader withthe language of the financial services field. Other sections outlinevarious strategies designed to help consumers reach specific goals. . i
"Good wealth care planning is similar to good health careplanning in that the ability to plan ahead and adjust behavior tomeet certain goals can lead to a marked improvement in one'soverall quality of life," says William L.

Five Items FrequentlyOverlooked On TaxReturnsBy overlooking one or more of the following items, many tax-,payers pay more than they should, according to James R.. Hegel,a CPA and personal finance specialist based in McLean, VA.
1. T H E RIGHT FILING STATUSIf you and your spouse each earn taxable income, you shouldcalculate your taxes both separately and jointly to determine whichprovides the lowest overall liability. If you're single and maintaini household for your child or dependent relative, you niay beable to file as a head of household, which provides favorable taxrates. You might qualify even if you maintain a separate householdfor your' dependent parents. .
2 . TAX CREDITSTax credits are even more valuable than tax deductions becausethey directly reduce taxes, while deductions only reduce taxableincome. If you hire someone to care for your dependents, you maybe entided to a tax credit.for a portion of these expenditures. Adependent can be a child or possibly even another family member.If you are over 65, disabled, or a worker who supports a child, youmay be entitled to a tax.credit.
3 . SOCIAL SECURITY TAX OVERPAYMENTS• If you changed jobs (or, sometimes, if you only transferred with-
in the same company) you may have overpaid your Social Securitytaxes. Any time you get more than one W-2 form from youremployer(s), you should check that you haven't paid too much.Any excess can be used to reduce your income tax liability and maybe refunded on your form 1040.
4. TAX BREAKS FOR EDUCATIONEducation costs may be considered deductible business expenses ifone of the following two requirements are met: 1) The educa-tion is to maintain or improve skills necessary in the individual'strade or business, or 2) the education is required by the individ-ual's employer. : '
However, the use of this deduction is subject to other restric-tions. Consequendy, if you have these types of expenditures it isrecommended that you consult a tax advisor to, determine if youare entitled to a deduction, .
5. IRA OR S E P CONTRIBUTIONSAnyone can contribute up to $2,000 to an Individual RetirementAccount (IRA) regardless of.income. Almough deducibility ofsuch a contribution is phased out over a fixed income range, it isstill advantageous to make a nondeductible contribution sinceme earnings on this money will not be subject to tax until they arewithdrawn at retirement. A self-employed individual may estab-lish a Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) plan that allows up to$30,000 of deductible contributions.

CORNERon IRS tax audits
Sharon-Kay Flynn, Enrolled Agent, Beverly,MA: "Office audits are fairly rare. If you get one,it usually starts with the IRS sending a letter thatsays, 'We need to see you. We've set up anappointment on such and such a date. If you can'tmake it, call us.' With my clients, I always getpower of attorney, and then I call the IRS andsay I can be there or explain that I can't be therebecause I need more time. In that case, they askwhen I'll be ready. I give them a date, and it usu-
ally works out fine; Field audits are rare — unless it's a criminal investiga-tion. If a taxpayer receives a notice and ignores it, then-a Revenue Officermay just show up at his front door."
Andrew Blacktnari.CPA, Shapiro & Lobel,New York City: "The IRS can audit you forup to three years after the due date of a returnor the filing of a return. If it deems that you'veunderreported your income by 25% or more,it becomes a case of statutory fraud, which meansthey don't have to prove intent of fraud, and thenthe statute of limitations becomes six years. Soyou should save most documents related to yourtax returns for seven years. But some you'll needto save much longer, such as those that establish"basis of assets: stock youbought 20 years ago, or records related to the purchase and sale of per-sonal residences. Incidentally, there's no statute of limitations if the IRS canprove fraud."
Scott Hall, CPA, Cockeysville, MD: "If a tax-payer receives an inquiry from the IRS, regard-less of the type of question, regardless of howminute, I suggest they first call the person whoprepared their tax return for them. If they didit themselves, I still suggest calling an accountant,just to review the notice and make sure the tax-payer's impression of what the IRS is seeking isaccurate. If the taxpayer is guilty of misconductof any sort on that tax return, he should call an
attorney who specializes in tax matters. If it's a compliance (random) audit,the taxpayer should certainly have someone helping him — those arepure hell. The IRS will seek documents the taxpayer would think are clear-ly out of the realm of an audit, maybe a Social Security card and a birthcertificate. He may have to prove that not every deposit on all of his bankstatements, mutual fund statements; and stock statements was reportableincome. In a compliance- audit, the IRS assumes that every dollar youreceived, regardless of where jt was deposited, was income, and it belongson a tax return. It's up to the taxpayer to prove the case, and that can bevery difficult." : ~ ~ ~

How to fight the IRS without losing your shirt..
Given the choice between atax audit and root canalsurgery, many Americans
would opt for surgery. After all, if thegovernment could bring down AlCapone by convicting him of incometax evasion, what could it do to youor me if we make a mistake on Form1040?
In fact, say tax professionals, goinghead-to-head with the IRS need notbe a nightmare, provided you've madean honest attempt to comply with thelaw and you've kept careful records ofyour income and your deductions."Inthat case, there's nothing to fear," saysAndrew Blackman, a certified pub-lic accountant with the accountingfirm Shapiro & Lobel in New YorkCity. "All the IRS will ask is, 'Howdid you come up with this number?'"
"Insome ways, taxpayer.fear is aconditioned response to decades ofIRS hype that intimidates people,"adds Enrolled Agent Joseph Lane ofPalo Alto, CA, a former IRS officerhow licensed to represent taxpayersbefore the IRS.
WHO SHOULD WORRYThat's not to say that an IRS audit will always bepleasant. People who don't cooperate with theagency, submit muddled or incomplete records, orworst of all, reveal an intent to defraud the gov-ernment, will have their hands full. "If theser-vice suspects fraud, they will send people like ElliottNess after you," says Blackman, referfihglo thelegendary agent who brought down Capone. "Theyhave ice in their veins. A lot of them are attorneys.
They're the very best the IRS has to offer.""People who should worry are those who did
something intentionally wrong on a big scale,"agrees Alan E. Weiner, a CPA and senior tax part-ner with die accounting firm Holtz Rubenstein &•Co. in Melville, NY. "For everybody else, it's justa checking of records: At worst it may cost themsome money. Some people even get refunds."
Chances'of being audited are actually quite slim.
; IRS spokesman Anthony Burke says,that for the 1992 tax year (the last yearfor.which data are available), slightlyless than 1% of all returns were audit-ed, down from 1.57% five years ear-lier. However, the IRS hopes to boostthat percentage this'year, partlybylaunching the biggest round of randomaudits ever conducted. Beginning inOctober, the IRS will select approx-imately 153,009 personal and businessreturns for audit under its TaxpayerCompliance Measurement Program.
A key objective of these randombut exhaustive reviews is to help theIRS fine-tune the parameters its com-puters use toilag tax returns as likelyaudit candidates. While no one out-side the IRS knows exactly what theparameters are for this DiscriminantFunction System (also known as theDIF System), we do know diey're gen-erally triggered when one number on
. a return is out of proportion to anoth-er: a taxpayer who reports $20,000 ofdeductions on only $10,000 of income,for example, or claims an unusuallyhigh number of dependents. In addi-tion, IRS computers are widelybelieved to trigger alerts for tax returns
that include certain items easily subject to abuse,such as deductions for.home offices. .. ' .
If your return prompts an inquiry by the IRS,you should deal with it immediately. First decidewhether it's a matter you can handle yourself'(asimple question of fact, perhaps) or more proper-ly deserves the attention of a tax professional (aquestion of law). You may be able to handle a so-called "correspondence audit" — in which you
simply supply the IRS with missing information— by mail. But it pays to be careful on even thesimplest.matters, especially if the IRS is demand-ing back taxes with interest and penalties.
"IRS agents typically apply penalties automat-ically, but a lot of penalties are discretionary;" saystax attorney Richard Lefever of the law firmMcNees, Wallace & Nurick in Harrisburg, PA. "Youcan argue fthat you made an honest mistake andsometimes get the penal-ty reduced or eliminated."
Some IRS inquiriesalmost always warrantprofessional help: whenyou don't understandwhat the IRS wants,when you used a tax pro-fessional to prepare yourreturn in the first place,when you believe you'vebroken the law, or whenyou're asked to participate in an office audit (whichtakes place in an IRS office) or a field audit (whichtakes place at your home or business). • •
WHERE TO GET HELP. If you decide to get help, three types of professionals
can represent you before the IRS: certified pub-^lie accountants, attorneys, and Enrolled Agents.Enrolled Agents are tax professionals licensed bythe federal government to represent clients beforethe IRS. Many, like Lane; are former IRS employ-ees. An Enrolled Agent or a CPA is the first line ofdefense for most taxpayers, but you should see anattorney first if you know or suspect that you vio-lated tax laws. Onrf tawyers enjoy client privi-lege and can legally withhold from the IRS infor-mation you've shared that could damage your case,Aldiough CPAs and Enrolled Agents are not oblig-ated to volunteer information about unlawfulbehavior by their clients, they can be compelled to
' do so if questioned by the IRS or a court.Whether you decide to do battle alone or get
professional help, the most important tiling you cando is to gather ddcumentation to support your posi-tion. Of course, this will be difficult, if not impos-sible, if you haven't kept good records.
Ironically, some people think they can turn poorrecord-keeping to their advantage. "They- thinkif they dump a shopping bag of receipts on theagent's desk, he's going to get bored," observes Lane."He's not. He'll take the bait and say to himself,'We'll find something here,'"
"Don't go in and try to wing it," adds Blackman.-"I prepare for an audit much the way an attorneywould before trying a case. I try to think of whatthe other side is likely to say or do, and how I willrespond."
"People who shouldworry arc those who
did somethingintentionally wrong
on a bis scale."
When you do respond to the IRS, either inwriting or in person, don't volunteer,more infor-mation than it has requested. That could give theIRS reason to open up new areas of your tax returnto investigation. In fact, most-tax experts suggest'you don't even attend your audit yourself unlessthe IRS insists on it. Instead, they say, send yourtax professional, who can be dispassionate aboutthe matter?
"We're trained tolook at what the IRSis looking for and onlythat," explains EnrolledAgent Sharon-KayFlynn of Beverly, MA."If the auditor asks foranything new, we tellthem we're not pre-
-pared and that we did-..'; triVbringit with us, so•: that we can go home
and we can prepare for it."
. If you decide to represent yourself and find thatyou're in over your head, you have the right tostop talking and seek professional counsel at anytime. That's a smart move if you sense that an auditis turning into an investigation of possible crim-inal conduct.
If you disagree with the outcome of an audit,you can appeal to your auditor's supervisor, andthen — if you're still unhappy with the results— take your case to tax court. If you do that with-in 90 days after the IRS issues you a StatutoryNotice of Deficiency, you won't have to pay anytax the IRS says is due until the court issues itsdecision. Alternatively, you can pay the tax andthen file suit for a refund in a U.S.-District Courtor U.S. Claims Court.
Even if you concede defeat, you might still beable to lessen your tax bill if you expect to havelegitimate problems paying it. How? By riling IRSForm 656 (Offer in Compromise) and indicat-ing, in the space entitled "grounds for acceptanceof this offer," that there is doubt as to the abilityto collect the full amount of tax, interest, and penal-ty. Often, the IRS will accept a lower figure, espe-cially if there was no intent of fraud.
Win or lose, you're unlikely to recommend atax audit to your friends. But like root canal surgery'an audit can leave you smiling — if you keep goodrecords, make a conscientious effort to comply withtax law, and follow the advice outlined above.

Good Values In NaturalResources
Investment performance in emerging markets this year is likely to be a reverseimage of 1994, says B.J. Willingham, portfolio manager ofjohn Hancock
Global Resources Fund. A year ago these markets were coming off one oftheir best years ever, only to correct drastically soon after. They start thisyear with investors as depressed as they were euphoric then, but with the seedsof major growth in place, Willingham believes.
"Many companies in these markets are selling at half the price they reachedat their peaks," he says. "They were ahead of themselves then. Now they'resome of the best values you can find anywhere.
Many of these countries are rich in natural resources and their producersare among the stocks that Willingham likes so much. They include copper com-panies in South Africa, oil producers in Argentina, and paper mills in Indonesia.
"The beauty of commociitleslsthatlHere'is a world price, indepen-dent of the conditions of the local economy. As Europe and Japan expand pro-duction, world demand automatically rises and so should prices."
. Companies that sell a high proportion of their output pbroad should do par-ticularly well, Willingham adds. "The weaker their currencies, the lower theirown costs are relative to their international competitors arid the bigger boost for-eign earnings bring." His confidence is shown by the fund's holdings, a fullhalf of which are now in foreign-based companies. A year ago it was only 25%.
"Last, year was a year of correction around the world," he comments."This year we should be able to build on solid footing."
Top-Ranked Funds Invest InGrowth And Value
The stock market has never had two back-to-back decades of double-digitgrowth. It had a spectacular one in the 1980s, and many managers con-
clude it won't happen in the '90s. If they're right, funds that are adept atbuying growth cheaply can add a lot of value. •
The latest Top 20 list of long-term performers from Lipper AnalyticalServices includes three five-star funds that combine growth and value as a wayof life. In die last 15 years, FPA Paramount had a total return of 833%, SteinRoeSpecial Fund was up 906%, and New York Venture rose 934%. In the sameperiod, the average domestic fund had a return of 572%. Yet each of the three™funds turned in top performance with average or below average risk.• All three management,teams put a high value on personal research.Recently, Bill Sams, portfolio manager of FPA Paramount, said he prefers.
—to-go wherc.the action isn't. New-York-Venture's Shelby Davis likes growthcompanies that are disguised as something else. "The Federal National Mortgage
, Association was once thought of as a ward of the government. Now it'sseen as a-solid, double-digit grower," he says. Bruce Dunn arid Dick Peterson,
. whcrun SteinRoe Special.say that because they pick companies one by one,not sectors or themes, the fund's portfolio is more truly diversified and soless volatile than many other growth funds.
This type of investing demands an unusual degree of patience. It gen-erally involves buying something that is out of favor and waiting until oth-ers recognize its worth. "I buy what is down and dirty," says Sams. "If it'sobvious something is going to turn around within the next few months, thenthat's already reflected in the price." SteinRoe Special normally buys in the .expectation that it will hold the stock for about three years. Over recent yearsits portfolio turnover has been less than half that of the average stock fund.
All three funds have benefited recently from the presence of momen-tum investors, who chase stocks that are already rising. "In today's volatile mar-kets, hot stocks with even slightly disappointing earnings can crash at any time,"says Davis. "If they're good quality companies, that can1 be our opportunity."Dunn and Peterson say. that being able to take the long view can put them intocompanies whose neat-term prospects are uncertain. "As buyers, we activelylook for companies with sound long-term fundamentals and strategies butwhich may have fallen out of favor in the short term," they note.
The growth fates these funds look for, though strong, are not eye-pop-ping. As Davis explains, "really fast-growing companies look good but oftenfalter, and when they do, investors pay a big penalty." The same approach explainswhy Paramount has never had a down year since Sams-took over in 1981.
This style of investing means that even in gloomy times there is oftenplenty to buy. "Ba3 economic conditions, aren't necessarily bad for individ-ual companies," says Dunn. "That's the time when the most successful com-panies can buy up their competitors and increase market share." New YorkVenture's application of that principle to banks at the time the industry wasgoing through the wont crisis in its history is a classic of its kind!
AH three like to know a lot about the companies they buy. Both Davisand the SteinRoe team spend much of their time visiting arid revisitingmanagements to avoid being blindsided by changes. Thus, seemingly dar-ing decisions may actually be quite low-risk. As Sams puts it, "I try tobuy them when the conditions that made them unpopular have changedenough to give me confidence, but when the changes are still obscureenough for the market not to have noticed."

HOOKED ON PLASTIC?HAVE YOU become inundated with j
credit card offers?- If your wallet isalready stuffed with plastic, your first
impulse might be to toss them. But you couldmiss out on some tantalizing deals.
"Credit cards are fighting for walletshare," says James Daly,- the editor of . .Credit Card Neins. "Every credit cardissuer wants theirs to be your favorite.So they're giving customers a reason touse them." That may include slashinginterest rates, eliminating annual fees, ._•or offering rebates.
But before signing up for anynew cards, give your old cards onemore chance. Call your card compa-ny and ask for a better interest rate orrequest your annual fee be dropped.
"You may get a lower rate right overthe phone. The key is how valuable a cus-tomer you are," says Rum Susswein, the exec-utive director of the Bankcard Holders of America,a nonprofit consumer education organization inSalem, Va.
You shouldn't stockpile cards just bbcause youcan get a better deal. Most people only need two,Use one to charge all your purchases and keepthe other in reserve in case you need a bigger lineof credit in a pinch. Or use a norfee card for day-to-day purchases that you pay off each month, andkeep a low-interest rate card for big-ticket itemsthat you plan to pay off over several months.
REBATE CARDSToday,, when you plunk your plastic down on astore counter, your rebate card could simultane-

ously help you save for a house, a refrigerator,~oi~college tuition. It could even fatten an annuityfor your rocking chair years.
But as a rule you must be a big spender to reapthe maximum benefit from a rebate card. Forinstance, you must typically spend $10,000 on aGeneral Motors card to earn the full $500 rebateon a GM car or truck. That's a lot of spending,
• considering that the average consumer charges$2,200 a year on a credit card. If you charged $2,200on your GM card and paid the minimum 2.5%of your balance each month, you'd only get a $110rebate and your interest charges would total $358before the rebate.
"People are usually better off getting a card with

new credit card.a lower interest rate or other fees and using the sav-ings toward the purchase of a car," says RobinLeonard, author of Money Troubles: Legal Strategiesto Cope with Your Debt (Nolo-Press, 1994).
Rebate cards make the most sense for those whoavoid carrying high balances every month. If youalways^payyouTKalirtceand charge $4,000 on a.General Electric card, which carries no annual fee,you'd get a $30 rebate. Your cost would be zero.
FREQUENT FLIER CARDSThe granddaddy of all rebate deals is the frequentflier cari. But a typical frequent flier card user —who charges $2,200 a year and keeps a balanceof $1,100 — would take almost 10 years to earna free ticket, according to calculations by the'Bankcard Holders of America.
And what are yearly costs for this "freebie"?With a USAir card, you would pay an annual feeof $35 and $188 in interest payments.
One of the better deals is the American Express
Membership Miles program. As an AmericanExpress cardholder, your frequent-flier miles accu-mulate in a pool that <?an be used toward ticketsfrom Continental, Delta, USAir, Southwest, andother airlines. That gives you more flexibility thana typical airline card. If USAir, for instance, bumps
up the miles needed to get a free ticket, you canalways use your American Express miles with
one of the other airlines. But if you held aUSAir Visa card you'd be stuck.
On the other hand, new cardholderswith Continental One Pass Visa,andMasterCard.get 2,500 bonus miles when"they apply and another 2,500 bonus mileswhen they're approved, according to the
* Bankcaid Holders of America. That's nota bad deal considering you need 20;000miles for a free-ticket on many airlines.
. ELIMINATE NEEDLESS CARDSIf you re shopping for a new card, don't be
_ _ , . ./ sucked in by flashy advertising. A cardHfv tfif witn a 7.5% interest rate might seem
like a winner. But all too often therate jumps dramatically after three months.
You don't have to be rich to get the mostsought-after cards. But issuers frown upon appli-cants who carry too many credit cards with highcredit lines, says Ginita Wall, the author of T7ie Wayto Save: A. 10-Stcp Blueprint for Lifetilne Security(Henry Holt and Co., 1993);
That should give you the incentive to get ridof excess cards. If you can't part with your Visa andMasterCard, at least cut up your department storecards. Unlike lots of bank credit cards, which havepared down their interest rates, many departmentstores continue.to_charge. rates as high.as 24%-Since-most major department stores will accept other p f ctic, there's no reason to pay such stratospheric rates.
To shut down an account, you need to con-tact the card issuer. You'd also be wise to obtainyour credit report to make sure it notes that theaccount was closed at your request.
NO FEE VS. LOW INTERESTIf you regularly pay off your credit card balanceeach month, apply for a card with no annual fee.For you, the interest rate is meaningless. But ifyou're one of the more than two-thirds -of-Americans who carry balances, look for a card withthe lowest interest rate.

Also examine whether you really need a gold card thatoften carries higher annual fees. A typical feature of'a goldcard is a higher line of credit. A gold card might entitle'you to $25,000 in credit, compared with $5,000 for a stan-dard card. A gold card also might offer disability or lifeinsurance and extended warranty coverage on purchases.
"There are fewer, and fewer reasons to have a gold card,"Susswein says. "Many of the added features are alreadyoffered on standard cards, so paying a generally hefty feefor a gold card really may not be worth it."
If you've just gotten a new card in the mail, beware
of the temptations of a new account. Card companies willno doubt start bombarding you With invitations.to charge,charge, charge. A-favorite ploy of card companies is tosend you blank checks tied to your account. If you aretempted to use one, be aware that card issuers typicallycharge 2% of the check amount, in addition to the inter-est, if you don't pay in full.

Sharp_Wizard,-OZ-9520FX_List Price: $750Average Street Price: $499Manufacturer: Sharp, 201-529-8200,S00-237.-4277
Personal digital assistants (PDAs) such as Apple'sNewton have been all but a complete bust. Thisdoesn't mean that other handheld computers haven'tfound some, measure of success, however.
alum for Sharp Wizard
Two cases in point are palmtop computer offer-ings from Sharp and Hewlett-Packard. These pock-et-size systems offer many of the Newton's PDAcapabilities but ignore not-ready-for-prime-timefeatures such as handwriting recognition.
SHARP WIZARD OZ-9520FXSharp's Wizard, from its humble electronic orga-nizer beginnings, has evolved into a surprisinglycapable telecommunicator. Actually, it's a little mis-leading to refer to Sharp's OZ-9520FX as a newmodel; it's really just the OZ-9520 Wizard bun-dled with Sharp's recently introduced CE-FM4fax/modem (sold separately for $180). But the com-bination is far more than the sum of its parts.
-Attaching and removing the 9,600 bps fax/2,400
16
bps data modem takes just seconds, and it's lightenough to remain attached to the Wizard all thetime. That means you can instantly take advan-tage of the fax and telecom capabilities that havealways been built into the Wizard's software. The
: Wizard leesjroufax text files directly from the word.processor, or send freehand drawings or handwrittennotes irom the Scrapbook.application. .
You can also assemble assorted documents, notes,',memos, drawings, address boijk records, arid sbJpn~in a folder and fax the entire thing in a single oper-ation. The fax functions are worked intelligentlyinto the Wizard's graphical interface; simply selecta document, then tap the Fax Send icon with theWizard's pen. The modem also, works with theWizard's built-in terminal software, which lets youaccess on-line and e-mail services.
On the downside, the Wizard's proprietary soft-ware limits the range of documents it can handle.There is virtually'no compatibility with file for-mats other than ASCII text, and the Wizard's mod-est memory and storage resources, though expand-able to a degree, rule out big files.
HEWLETT-PACKARD 200LXLike the newest Wizard, the HP 200LX builds onpre-existing strengths. And new features enhancethe HP's desktop connectivity and personal pro-
ductivity applications. The DOS-based LX palm-

tops have always, had the advantage of corhpati-"bilhysjjh millions of desktop DOS and WindowsPCs. But the addition of the venerable LapLinkRemote software to the 200LX makes.that rela-tionship that much cozier.
ABOUT THE RATINGS
HP 200LX enhances connectivity
LapLink Remote simplifies HP 200LX file man-agement, but the process gets even easier withExtended System's wireless model JetEye PC ESI9610A infrared transceiver ($135). The transceiv-er allows you to exchange files between the HP200LX and a DOS or Windows system via LapLinkRemote without a cable.
Once you have attached the JetEye PC ESI9610A infrared unit to a serial port on the desktopcomputer, you simply aim the palmtop's infrared

port at the 9610A transceiver, start LapLink on bothmachines, and you're ready to go.
The 200LX also offers a slimmed-down versionof Intuit's popular Quicken personal finance soft-ware. Pocket Quicken offers the same basic accountmanagement as its full-scale counterpart'as Wellas expense account tracking.
Though both the 200LX and the Wizard arepalmtops, they are targeted toward different busi-ness audiences. If ease of use, light telecommuni-cations, and personal information.managementfunctions arc your primary needs, the Wizard willdo the trick. On the other hand, Hewlett-Packard's200LX, with its DOS and Windows compatibili-ty, is more of a palmtop for the computer savvy.Both of these little systems prove that there's moreto pocket-size computing than just PDAs.
Get ready, because this may be the last of the major DOS upgrades. Most ofthe changes in Lotus 1-2-1 Release 4 for DOS are long overdue. The outdat-ed interface of release 3.4, for example, was clunky evea for a DOS-basedprogram. So, like other recent DOS programs, 12-3 features a WYSIWYGdisplay for a more Windows-like operation.
The most visible changes are scroll ban and tabbed worksheet page's in themain display. These simple additions are a tremendous improvement, mak-.ing it a snap to move quickly through a large, complex worksheet.
A status bar lets you use the mouse to set options, such as number formats,decimal places, and text style — a much faster and more convenient solu-tion tfiarfsettihgsuch bptions'via menu bars.

A small but nifty improvement concerns the Move and Copy commands,which can now be used to move or copy cell-formatting options automati-cally, eliminating a lot of tedious reformatting as you build orrevise a spread-sheet.

Where golfers and nongolfers can hit par together. :
Since golf began its mid-eighties boom, golfresorts have sprung up everywhere. Manyresorts have added new activities to please
nongolfers. With more restaurants, fitness facilities,•golf schools, day care, water sports, and bike andhorseback riding, the golf-plus getaway has becomeeverybody's vacation.
Whether you're a golfer who likes to playbeyond the 18th hole or a nongolfer who'simplyenjoys beautiful settings, one of these five resortsmay be just right for you.
SUPERB GOLFNorth Carolina's Pinehurst Resort and Country.Club, 120 miles northeast of Charlotte, was openedby James Walker Tufts in 1895, turning 5,000 acresof scrubby, sandy pine forest into seven beautifulgolf courses. The resortwas recently restored to its
grand best, and all 310 rooms in the large, copper-roofed hotel building—there is also a smaller build-ing, the-Manbrlnn, as well as 135 separate con-dominiums — provide attractive, comfortableaccommodations,
Golf reigns here, especially on the No. 2 course.The course was built by Donald Ross, the Scottishgolf-course architect, who laid out 400 golf cours^es in the United States. No. 2 is a purist's course,encouraging solid, accurate ball striking whileemphasizing good chipping and putting. It's soesteemed that the PGA Tour held its season-end-ing Tour Championship here in 1991 and 1992.Pinehurst hosted the U.S. Senior OpenChampionship last summer, and will host the U.S.Open in 1999. '
If golf isn't your game, Pinehurst has ample alter-natives: 24 tennis courts/badminton, water sports

Golf Package: All rates are seasonal. Until March8th, Piriehurst's "Donald Ross Golf' package starts"at $574 for two people in a double room for twonights and three days (from March 9th through June5th, that rate rises to $1,080 or $540 per person.)That includes breakfast and dinner and one roundof golf per day) plus unlimited tennis, croquet, andbicycling. There is a $50 surcharge per round toplay the No. 2 course, but you, can get back someof that by booking the same package for $494 ($980from March 9th to June 5th) and staying at theManor Inn. All rates change seasonally. Information:800-659-4653.
A SPORTING RESORTClose to the Georgia-Alabama border is Callawa/Gardens. It resembles a forest preserve, with three-
_ quarters of the 14,000-acre property covered inpinewood crossed by cycling and walking trails.It also includes the gardens that gave the resort its

Golf packages: Golfpackages start at $280 percouple in the Callaway Gardens Inn and go to $360in the slightly tonier Mountain Creek Villas. Eachpackage includes accommodations for one night,breakfast and dinner, one round of golf, admissionto the gardens, and use of the resort's fitness cen-ter. A golfer/nongolfer couple might try Callaway's"Sport's Spectacular" package, starting at $168 percouple per night.

FAMILY VALUESIf you had suggested a few years ago that WaltDisney World, in Orlando, Florida, was a respectablegolf resort, you would have been considered goofy.Mouseville had golf, all right, but the three cours-es (Magnolia, Palm, and Lake Puena Vista) werethe dull Florida .flatlands sort.
In January of 1992, Tom Fazio and Pete Dye,two'of the country's most prolific architects, com-pleted two more courses — Eagle Pines and OspreyRidge, which vaulted WDW imp the resort stratos-phere: Golf magazine recendy awarded them oneof only a dozen gold medals in'its biennial resortrankings.
The kids can keep busy at Disney World, Epcotand Disney-MGM Studios Theme Park. Any golferwho's outgrown Mickey can take lessons on thepractice tee or show oft his or her strokes on tlienine-hole Oak Trail course.
Golfpackages: The best deal is the two-night"Golf Getaway" package for $729 for two adultsand two children at the Disney Vacation Club, oneof 14 accommodations choices here but one of only
-three offered as part of the golf package. This rateis for a one-bedroom condo in which parents geta master bedroom and two kids get the sofa-bedinthe living room. A regular greens fee at OspreyRidge or Eagle Pines costs $115 per person. Thepackage saves hundreds of dollars by includingunlimited golf at five courses, golf carts and prac-tice range for the adults, and lodging for the wholefamily. Information: 407-827-7200.
MOUNTAIN PARADISELocated just outside of Tucson, Arizona, VentanaCanyon Golf & Racquet Club has two champi-
onship courses — the-Mountain and theCanyon — offering dif-ferent levels for skill andstyle. The third hole ofthe Mountain Course israted by many as one ofthe best in the entireSouthwest because of itsmagnificent panorama ofMexico's SonoranDesert.
For nongolfers,Ventana Canyon has afitness room and a dozentennis courts, and its tworestaurants—the Club-house dining room and
Terrace lounge—reveal paradisical views of bothvdesert and mountains. When the sun goes down,you can retire to one of 50 suites and'fall asleejTto the cries of coyotes in'the desert night.
Golf packages:. The Golf Getaway packageincludes accommodations for two guests for threenights, confirmed tee times for one round each day.Also included are golf cart rental, full use of prac-tice facilities, and daily in-suite refreshments.Children under the age of 17 can stay for free inthe same suite. Prices for this package are season-al, ranging from $879 to $1,301 (not including tax).Information: 800-828-5701.
ONCE IN A LIFETIMEIf there is one resort that every golfer dreams ofplaying, it's Pebble Beach, on California's MontereyPeninsula. Pebble is the ultimate golf resort for1 sev-eral reasons. One is the setting: high in the back-.ground is the Del Monte Forest, and in the fore-ground are the churning waters of Carmel Bay; awide swath of beach curves south to the small idyl-lic town of Carmel. It's little wonder that RobertLouis Stevenson described it as "the most felicitousmeeting of land and sea in Creation."
A second reason is the Pebble Beach golf course,rated one of the world's best by Golf magazine.Eight of its eighteen holes are played along the Bay.The most intriguing are the 107-yard seventh, thepar-four eighth, whose approach must be hit acrossa chasm (Jack Nicklaus called it the best second shotin all'of golf), and the long (548 yards), curving18th, which hugs the shoreline and finishes at theresort's headquarters, the Lodge at Pebble Beach.
Since golf beganits mid-eighties boom,

Dr. Donovan, who is 54 and aresident of Westfield, has beenschool superintendent in Hamiltonfor [he-past eight years. TheHamilton district, like Millbura's,is a kindergarten through 12thgrade system. Hamilton's publicschool enrollment, however, isapproximately 12,000, four limeslarger than this community's.

Budgets—municipal and school—will be on the agenda of both theTownship Committee and Board ofEducation at meetings of thosebodies next week.
The school board at its Mondaynight session is due to make itsfinal judgment on the $29.3 mil-lion spending plan proposed by theadministration for the 1995-96school year. The budget, in itspresent form, would trigger anaverage property tax increase of$291.
The following night theTownship Committee is scheduledlo introduce the municipality's1995 budget. That document,Mayor William J. Caveneyreported at the Committee's meet-ing this week, calls for a 2-pointincrease in the municipal tax rate—a $42 rise in the property tax.
Should the Board of Educationmake no reduction in the adminis-tration's proposal, the budget, assubmitted to township voters forratification next month, would callfor a 14-point hike" in the schooltax rate—a property tax increase of
. $291. Also on next month's ballotwill be a proposal for a cap waiverlo provide funds to cohtihjie1Sh»>

The school budget, themunicipal budget and the countybudget are the three components ofthe tax bill property owners faceannually. Essex County ExecutiveJames Treffinger Tuesdayafternoon proposed a 1995 county
budget which calls for no increasein the county's overall tax rate, butit remains possible that townshipproperty owners might face anincrease in Essex taxes even if Mr.Treffinger's financial plan isapproved by the Board ofFreeholders.

The Committee, through MayorWilliam J. Caveney, said it would"certainly stay tuned. . .I'm notsure we can do anything—we haveour own cap problems, but we'llbe watching."
The plea for support of the cap'aiyer was initially voiced by

more traffic control officers andimproved or additional sidewalkswill be required, the responsibilityfor' w h i c h f a l l s to themunicipality." •
"We don't want to wait untilSeptember (when the new schoolyear begins) and find ourselves inthis dilemma (of not having schoolbusing," Barbara Kiley, also aWyoming area resident, told theCommittee. "Can't you do a studyahead of time to ascertain the costof needed guards compared to thecost of busing?"
