These two (at Columbia Curiosities) look as though they could be victims of heat stroke.

Remember to stay hydrated.

That's a nice patch of sage, but it makes it more difficult for fire personnel to access the hydrant.

Despite the heat wave, CMS milled and Rholan Paving paved a strip on the 500 block of Chestnut this past week.

This probably isn't an official street sign - or is it?

A few at St. Peter Catholic Church . . .

Borough officials might not care, but others do.

A man in black shirt and tan pants (often the uniform of a constable or coroner) walked from a house near North 5th & Avenue G the other day and entered this vehicle. No other activity was detected.

Looks like it's "tree" o'clock.

Nice flowers

Don't cross the tracks when these are flashing.

Is it hay or straw?

More slabs for sale on Bridge Street

The camouflage is almost complete, but it still won't help to avoid an electric bill.

Columbia Borough school board proposes final budget and tax resolutions | Community News | lancasteronline.com

When: Columbia school board committee meeting, June 4.

What happened: The finance committee proposed a final budget of $32.4 million for the 2024-25 academic year, including a total estimated $31.9 million in revenue. In addition, the committee proposed its annual tax levy resolution, which would include a real estate tax of 26.46 mills. This does not include a property tax increase for residents.

How to calculate your tax: One mill is equal to $1 in property tax for every $1,000 of assessed value. To calculate your tax burden, multiply the millage rate by the number of thousands of the assessed value of your property. For example, a homeowner with a property assessed at $100,000 would pay $2,646 annually.
