The in- creased amount over past years is proof that there is a growing community. Besides individuals whose taxes go to Edison, major firms such as Gould, Certainteed, Inc., Schlessman Seeds, Berlin Fruit Box Company, Columbia Gas, East Ohio Gas, Ohio Edison, Norfolk and Western R. R., Ohio Telephone and Telegraph, and Northern Ohio Telephone Com- pany furnished financial support. For the fiscal year 1973, these area companies paid approx- imately S182,000 in taxes. Common sense would tell any- one that the more businesses in a district, the more money a school will receive from taxes. Over the next several years, the new business, lVlorgan Adhesives and the proposed atomic power plant in Berlin Heights will be in operation. Their taxes added to those which were already rec- eived will make Edison's school district one of the richest in the state for its size. lf the community grows at the present rate, new facilities for the school will no longer seem like a dream light years away.

Lou nge For many people in the Berlin-lVlilan area January 5, 1973 was a Black Friday . It was announced that the NASA Plum Brook Sta- tion would be closed. The nuclear reactor vvas shut dovvn, and its staff dismissed by July 1973. The remaining facilities and staff were scheduled for termination by July 1974. Con- gressman Charles A. Mosher tried to salvage some of the S150 million installation. The school district has been receiving feder- al funding since 1964. This money has been given to the school to replace tax money lost by the federal facilities in the community and to reinburse the school for the increased en- rollment. ln the 1972-73 school year there were eighty-five students and 316,000 vvas re- ceived. All federal funds will be terminated by the 1974-75 school year.
