/ Health Officids of
State .and .County
Address Council
Mayor- Cyril C. ;Ryan, Village
Trustees Leonard,D. B. Smith, Jo-seph
Gallo and Walter J, Wood,
and Robert L. Doxsee, running un-opposed
for membership on the
Village Board, all appealed for the
taxpayers to vote to ratify the bond
issues to finance the construction
of sewers in thg southern portion
jof the community at the village
election next Tuesday. They spoke
•at a. meeting of the Community
Council in the Municipal Building.
A. F.- Dappert, principal sanita-tion
engineer of the State Depart-ment
of "Health; Seth F. Hess,
chief engineer of the Inter-State
Polution Commission, and Arthur
Herberger, director, of'sanitation In
Nassau County/ all" spoke of the
'need of sewers in the area .to pre;
vent the polutiOn of the waters
along the shore. :
Mr. Hess spoke briefly on the
matter of polution. Mr. Herberger
traced the history of the movemeiit
to get sewers for southern Free-port
for seven years. He told of
how proceeolngs^were rnstituted-against
violators of the "sanitary
code along Woo'dcIeTt ave., how the
•actions were withdrawn when the
village -stepped in and promised to
remedy conditions,-and added that
then the war interrupted further
action, though conditions steadily
became worse.
Mr. Dappert considered the need
of a county-wide sewer system for
Nassau. He told of how pointed
waters not only jeopardize the
health oT people using them for
bathing and swimming, but also
tend to deprive .a community of
many resources'-Including transpor-tation,
pleasure boating, shell fish-ing
and the like and efven the
water supply.
He said that every cesspool con-stituted
an area of polution, that
was not serious except In .congest-ed^
areasjwhere not enough room is^
allowed for proper . drainage.. He"
told of having-ftp'ent two years on vLong':lslaiid::19:ryears -ago studying
the need of~sew"ersrin~Nass"au. and
Suffolk Counties,'
Freeport,. Mr^__Dappert added,
,was to be included in the county
sewer system but it mus^.filean its
Qwn house. He sal'd'<he~ understood*,
the presenT__disposal plant was
large enough to handle~the sewage
from the new areas as the sewers
are comnleted. He told of the in-dications
of! polution along the
waterfront and 'declared—the only
way ..tbl remedy conditions was by
puiting7 in sewers,.— ,——

J; C. Schmidt Tells
Southwest to Watch*
Bills in Washington
John B. Schmidt; former assist-ant
chief of the Brooklyn Division
of the Internal Revenue Bureau, in
addressing the Southwest Civic
Association at Its meeting Monday
warned all civic groups to be
on guard against possible Federal
legislation placing a tax on Muni-'
cipal power plants equal to that
levied against private power com-panies.
He told how action 'was started
sometime ago against New York
to< collect a tax fro'm the
receipts of the sale of bottled water
from springs up-state:—The—caae-reached
the ,IJ. S. Supreme Court
where the majority of the Judges
ruled against the government, but
one of the judges in'a dissenting
opinion held that the profits were
subject to tax, he said.
"Watch tax legislation," he said,
"and be prepared to put up the
stiflest arguments .you can if any
bills permittlng^!h_e government to
tax your village on the profits of
the- power plant are. introduced„ in
Washington."
If such 'a law were enacted, he
added, the government could im-pose
a 3 percent excise tax on the
eross~earnlngs~of the municipal
plant since 1932. - ' .
Dr. Schmidt 'was Introduced by
vice-president Geoffrey 'Cheasty.
He spoke-on "Taxation and Com-mon-
MlBtakes-Made by-Persons-in
Preparing Returns." *
--•The—association --endorsed the
jprpposed bond issues to finance
sewers in the.southern end of the
village, protested against
crease in g"as rates -by the Long
Island Lighting Co., and voted to
request the Village Board to pro-claim
a clean-up week in the near
future. " - - • __-
