'CI M.MU. . ,,,» ,, The 50 percent .saving.In _,
eating oil, Mr, Moore estimated at
1,200 gallons a month, which at 50
cents a gallon m^ans f600^ addition-al
for the plant.
And thtin there are the piston
rings, 60, costing $30 each;'for each
engine. Heretofore these rings
have had \o be .replaced., every two
months. Rings In use since Febru-ary.
1, show only-slight wear, and
Mr. Moore' belleves-they may last
two years. This means that in-stead
of having to spend $1,800 six
times a yeai for new rings, that will
be the bl-ennial cost Instead of
$21,000 per engine. And the econo-my
in the replacement of other
Ijarts.of the engine is also reduced
to their prolonged lives.
As the prlc^ of equipping Diesels
with the Vapor Cooling System is
only $2 per horse power, or $6,600
an engine, the* cost will be made
up in a short time by the econo-mies
resulting.
As the heating boiler now in use
at the power house will not be need-ed'after
all thei engines are using
the Vapor Cooling System, it is to
be transferred to the new Municip-al
Garage, so the cost of purchasing
a boiler for the garage will be
eliminated. And the cooling sys-tem
at the power house will be
needed only: to cooj the lubricating
oil.
After the new Diesel engine is
delivered,-the three small, ineffici-ent
engines are to be sold and the
proceeds of the sale will go a long
way toward purchasing another
large engine.
The proces by which water is
heated to the boiling point and the"
steam condensed into water again
is very economical to operate com-pared
with the overall saving in the
new system and the vast reduction
In the amount of water consumed
Accident Leads to Discovery
Mr. Moore was in charge of the
power system at Dayton, Va., in
1937. While In Washington he re-peived
word the cooling system had
broken down. He describes his ex-perience
anonymovisly In the Janu
ary issue of Diesel Progress be
cause he did not want to reveal his
Identity, until the success of the
local experiment had been demon-strated.
"As he (Moore) drove to the
plant, he noticed no undue commo-tion,
as a matter of fact everything
seemed normal except for the pres-ence
of the fire trucks and the
Diesels were a little noisier than
usual," the article reads. "He
found out what had happened very
cfuickly ... the cooling tower was
out of commission and his assistant
had had the foresight to uncover
the cooling pipes leading to the
tower and requisition the local fire
company to spray them with cold
water and thus permit 'the con-tinued
operation of the Diesels.
"Inside the plant everything was
going smoothly as could be expect-ed.
The engine was knocking and
steam was escaping from a return
valve. That was all that seemed
-to-be-happenings-He experimented
with the injection-timing and cut
down tht fuel supply slightly and
found the engines could develop
rated horsepower with less fuel
than previously. In so doing the.
knock was eliminated and the en-gine
seemed to operate more quiet-ly-
than he had ever-jcnown-it to do,
Has Experimented Before
"In the meantime a valve in the
return line was cracked slightly to
allow the steam to escape more
freely and keep the pressure down.
T|ie engine operated three_ full days
under these conditions while the
cooling tower was being repaired.
That was how-one operator learned
-that—Diesels can operate at the
boiling point." "~~ : "
Mr. Moore continued to experi-ment
with the high temperature
cooling-system, always with the
same result.

Refers Assessment
Plan to Directors
To Make Study of " ~
Southwest Report;
Crevdiserat Speaks
Action on a proposal of .the
Southwest C i v i c Association to
substitute the assessment figures
used by Nassau County in levying
school and town taxes for those
now In use In Freeport' was re-ferred
by the Northeast Civic As-sociation
to'Its Board of Directors
for study at the monthly meet-'
ing Friday night In the home of
H a r r y J. .Berkowltz,. 215 North
Ocean • ave. In a long report, .a
committee of the Southwest Civics
contended' there were gross in-equalities
in assessments in Free-port
and that they were based on
inefficient Information.
• William Er Crevolseratr a mem-ber
of the Northeast association
and a former village trustee, said
Freeport was the first village to get
away from the old, inequitable sys-tem
of assessing .property, when in
1927 the Board set up a system of
standard values and established the
lot and block plan. He said that
after the Nassau County Board of
Supervisors in 1940 employed a
firm of experts to equitably assess
property throughout the county, the
figures adopted were so high, many
certiotari proceedings were Insti-tuted
and It was necessary to re-duce
the figures to escape whole-sale
court proceedings. Since then,
he added, the figures have been
mOdffled to meet changing condi-tions.

The Freeport Police Boys
Clubs, under the direction, of
Patrolman Joseph Romelka, not
being affiliated with the Police
Boys'Club of Nassau County,
will not share in the $50,000
campaign fund being raised
throughout the county, Warren
F. Mlllard, chairman of the
Freeport Board of Trustees an-nounced
today. \
Mr. MlltaVd, in nuking the
announcement, said he did so
because several persons have
iaqujred whether the Freeport
boys would benefit if they sent
contributions to the county
fund. He added the Freeport
group received a limited allot-ment
of fiends from New York
State, but that otherwise it
wquld have to depend on local
contributions .to carry on its
work.

cost of administration would not be
any higher than at present, he
added.
Mr. Crevoiserat said also that the
Village Assessor had entry, as have
the county assessing authorities, to
the permits issued by the Bureau of
Holdings- for new buildings, repairs
:ind alterations, so hp could keep
abreast of the improvements being
made in the village. He said at

$1.95 Fixed in

Totaling $41,961,650
A school tax rate of $1.96' for

been fixed by the Freeport Board
oi' Education for School District No.
9 , ' f o r the fiscal-year 1948-19 com-prising,
the largest part',of tlxe vUV
Inpe. This is 1 point less than was
indicated when the budget was
adopted Jn May, and 27 cents more
than -the rate~~rdr" the—yeai—juatr
(Josod.
The rate is bastul on a total
assessed valuation of $41,961.650, of
which $40,909,325 is based on real
estate and $1,052,325 on special
franchises. The total Is an increase
of $33-1,000 over last year's $41,627,'-
650—$40,612,200 real estate and
$1,015,450 special franchises.
Increased costs of "everything
used in the school system, and the
fact that a year and a half's inter-'
est had to be paid this year on the
bonds issued for the construction
of the new Seaman ave. school were
mainly responsible for the largo In-creases
in the budget and conse-quent
higher tax rate.
The assessed valuation for the
Baldwin district, a large section of
which is in Freeport, Is $37,075,840,
cpmpared'to $35,678,825, a year ago,
a jump of $1,448.015 and for Roose-velt,
which also takes in-a portion
of the northeastern section of Free-port,
the values were upped from
$11,911,782 last year to $12.403,537
