Budget ReducedWest Wheatfield Taxes Stay Same ROBINSON West Wheatfield Township residents will pay the same in in 1980 as they did in 1979, even though the budget is approximately $8,000 less. The proposed 1980 budgettotals $91,306, and the 1979 budget's expenditures were listed at just more than $99.000. The township will not receive as much in county grants the next year as this year, according to secretary-treasurer Jean Yarnal.

County funds were received this year for an elimination-of-blight project that was carried out in 1978. Township flood work has been completed and approved, but reimbursem*nt money will not be available until the federal government completes an audit. Money from the general fund was used to complete the projects, and Yarnal said the supervisors were holding the line on expenditures until the township receives reimbursem*nt for the flood-repair projects. Township road workers were laid off in July after funds began to run short, and only emergency work, with the exception of some blacktopping, was done. The supervisors Chrysler UAW Against Wage Freeze WASHINGTON (AP) Local leaders of the United Auto Workers, seeking aid to the Chrysler Corp.

without a wage freeze, are getting encouragement from the Carteradministration but little support in Congress. Members of the UAW'S Chrysler Council, made up of officers of union locals 'at Chrysler plants, said they planned demonstrations on Capitol Hill today. The local UAW leaders lobbied House and Senate members Tuesday, seeking aid for Chrysler and opposing the wage freeze approved by the Senate Banking Committee. The Senate bill calls for $1.25 billion in federal loan guarantees to Chrysler, to be matched by $2.75 billion obtained independently of the guarantees through a three-year wage freeze and other means. UAW president Douglas Fraser said after a meeting of the Chrysler Council on Tuesday that the council would not approve the proposed wage freeze.

An administration bill, which has been approved with little change by the House Banking Committee, calls for. $1.5 billion in guaranteed loans with an equal amount obtained from outside sources. It does not provide for a wage freeze.
