(See “TAX EXEMPTION AND OTHER TAX MATTERS” herein.) In the opinion of Bond Counsel, interest on the Bonds is exempt under present statutory and case law from the Pennsylvania Corporate Net Income Tax and from personal income taxation by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, or by any of its political subdivisions, and the Bonds are, under present statutory and case law, exempt from Pennsylvania personal property taxes. (See “TAX EXEMPTION AND OTHER TAX MATTERS” herein.) The Borough has designated each of the Bonds as a “qualified tax-exempt obligation” for purposes of Section 265 of the Code (relating to deduction of interest expense allocable to tax-exempt obligations held by certain financial institutions), and in the opinion of Bond Counsel the Bonds are “qualified tax-exempt obligations” within the meaning of said Section 265. $9,935,000* BOROUGH OF MONACA Beaver County, Pennsylvania General Obligation Bonds, Series of 2016 Dated: Date of Delivery Due: May 15, as shown overleaf The General Obligation Bonds, Series of 2016, in the aggregate principal amount of $9,935,000* (the “Bonds”) of the Borough of Monaca, Beaver County, Pennsylvania (the “Borough”) will be issued in fully registered form (without coupons) in the denomination of $5,000 or any whole multiple thereof within a maturity.

The regularly scheduled installments of interest on the Bonds (payable May 15 and November 15, beginning with May 15, 2017) will be paid by mail to the registered owners entitled to receive the same at their registered addresses, by check or draft drawn on the Paying Agent or (while the DTC Book-Entry-Only System described below is in effect with respect to the Bonds, and in certain other circumstances) by wire transfer to such registered owners, as more fully described herein. See “THE BONDS” herein. The Bonds will be initially issued and distributed under a book-entry-only system operated by The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), and will be registered in the name of CEDE & Co., as sole registered owner thereof and nominee for DTC. Under this system (the “DTC Book-Entry-Only System”), , solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. DTC will act as securities depository for the Bonds and individual purchasers of book-entry interests in the Bonds will not receive Borough-issued certificates fer representing their ownership interest in the Bonds. So long as CEDE & Co., as nominee of DTC, is the sole registered owner of the Bonds and the DTC Book- Entry-Only system is in effect for the Bonds, references herein to Bondholders and holders or owners of the Bonds should be taken in all cases to mean the owners of book-entry interests in the Bonds and not the actual holder and registered owner of the Bonds, CEDE & Co., or DTC, and each such Bondholder must maintain an account with a DTC Direct or Indirect Participant in order to receive principal or interest payments made in respect of its ownership of beneficial interest in the Bonds. See “BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM” herein. MATURITY SCHEDULE (See Inside Front Cover) Redemption: The Bonds are subject to redemption prior to maturity as more fully set forth herein.

The Borough's first formal Comprehensive Development Plan was prepared in 1962 in response to the impact of this postwar urbanization. As a result of this early planning, many of the problems normally associated with uncontrolled development were deflected by the communities in which planning programs were implemented.

  • The Pennsylvania Railroad, As Usual, Went out Oi Its Way to Be of Service to All of Our People
    SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER 1957 Downloaded from http://PRR.Railfan.net Original document from the collection of Rob Schoenberg ©2010 - Commercial reproduction or distribution prohibited The New Freight Rates The Interstate Commerce Commission released its long-awaited final decision for increased freight rates (Ex Parte 206) on August 6, 1957. The higher rates went into effect on August 26. The maximum increase authorized over the rates in effect, not at the time of the decision but before December 28, 1956, is 14 percent within Eastern terri- tory. On traffic moving between the East and the West, the maximum increase is 12 percent; and between the East and the South, it is 9 percent (except for traffic moving on class rates, which was granted a 12 percent increase throughout the Nation). Agricultural commodi- ties like grain, livestock, meat, lard, vegetable oil, and shortening were given only a 9 percent increase in all territories. On coal and coke the increase was generally 15 cents per ton, but only 8 cents per ton on lake cargo coal destined to Lake Michigan and Lake Superior, 8 cents on Tidewater coal to New England, and 10 cents on export coal and coke. Several other commodities were limited to maximum increases ranging from only 2 cents per 100 pounds (40 cents per ton) on phosphate rock and salt, up to 12 cents per 100 pounds on edible nuts. Included in this category are potash, sugar, lumber, millwork, and fresh fruits and vegetables. In all, the increases authorized will average for the PRR about 10 percent above the rates in effect before December 28, 1956, and only about 4.5 percent above the rates in effect since December 28.

  • HOMEWOOD, a GLIMPSE of RAILROAD OPERATION William A
    HOMEWOOD, A GLIMPSE OF RAILROAD OPERATION William A. James you want to see power, speed and action, look for a station near a junction point or an interlocking plant on a four-track railroad. IfA Such a station is Homewood on the Pennsylvania Railroad in Pittsburgh. It is a typical suburban stop, not unlike those on the Illinois Central Electric on Chicago's South Side or the Penn- sylvania itself along Philadelphia's MainLine. Passengers on through trains almost do not see it as they roar by. But to the commuter to and from Pittsburgh's Golden Triangle, it is a means of saving a good amount of travel time. In fact one train in the evening with homeward bound workers makes its first stop at Homewood. To the right of the station are some apartment buildings which are also like those seen in the outskirts of Chicago, Philadelphia and other cities. They represent the maximum in residential conven- ience, especially when the transportation factor is added. A play- ground for the youth of the district faces on the north. If one is interested in sports, one can spend time with profit watching trains and a good baseball game. A row of tall maples lines the west- bound platform just east of the playground. They stand quite majestically against a moonlit sky, sometimes weaving in the wind, more often still. Atthe west end of the platform the Lang Avenue pedestrian bridge crosses over the tracks and some of the best views of the trains can be had from this vantage point.

  • Getting Around: a Brief History of Monroeville, Pennsylvania
    Getting Around: A Brief History of Monroeville, Pennsylvania Louis Chandler, Ph.D. Monroeville Historical Society, Monroeville, Pa. April 2012 _____________________________________________________________________ Contact: http://www.monroevillehistorical.org 2 Contents Part 1: The Beginnings Part 2: Paths and Trails Part 3: Waterways, Creeks and Streams Part 4: By Road and Stagecoach Part 5: The Railroads Part 6: The Age of the Automobila Part 7: Public Transit Part 8: And by Air Part 9: Today’s Monroeville Bibliography Appendix: Monroeville’s Time Line 3 Introduction This brief history focuses on travel and transportation. It tells the story of the paths and trails, streams and creeks, roads, and rails, as they led to the dominance of the automobile in today’s Monroeville. This work draws on a number of sources, including regional histories like those of Solon and Elizabeth Buck, as well as the local histories of Monroeville by Marilyn Chandler, Sarah Thompson, and Virginia Etta Myers, all of which helped to provide context. Thanks are due to the staffs of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh’s Pennsylvania Room, as well as the Monroeville Public Library, and especially Mark Hudson and Marlene Dean; and to Victoria Vargo of the Braddock’s Field Historical Society, and Gary Rogers of the Allegheny Foothills Historical Society; and to Judith Harvey of the Frank B. Fairbanks Archives at the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation. Historical maps of the area were especially useful in tracing the course of various streams and creeks, and in the following the evolution of the road system. A special note of thanks goes to Lynn Chandler, and to Monroeville’s Director of Community Development, Shelly Kaltenbaugh, and Jamie Storey from the Planning Office, who helped the author make sense of Monroeville’s rich and varied topography.
