Note: The Citizens of Chambersburg received in these services $221,- 111.11 of Value for which Taxes were levied for Borough pur- poses in the amount of $8,214.00. If you did not operate your Electric Light and Water Utilities at a handsome profit, the whole cost of these services would have to be paid for by Taxes, which would mean an increase in Taxes for Borough purposes of 26.91 times what they were in 1940.
