...young-though no one agrees on its proportions. Several East Orange High students have been hospitalized with drug overdoses. Says Mayor Hart: "What's hurting is that the children have little in terms of recreation. There is no swimming pool, no bowling alley, no dance pavilion, no roller-skating rink.'' The housing shortage is acute. Some 800 families are on the waiting list for public housing. Construction of single-family houses is almost at a standstill-partly because the city's property tax rate, currently $8.31 per $100, is among the highest in the state...
