Freeport Tax Rate
Assessed Valuations
Up $5,028,105 Over
Total forXast Year
Freeport's assessed valuation, on
which the "lax rate for'1948 will be
based, has been placed at $43,260^
690, Mayor Cyril C .Ryan announo-ed
today. This is an increase""of
$$,028,105 over the valuation for
1946< • : "
Assessor August F^etry. said the
law required assessments to be re-vised
every five years, but ^.that
there had been nt> revision of val-uations
here since 1941 when a
straight across the board put of 20
percent was made, reducing the
$43,250,690 figure to $38,222,585.
Mr. Petry added the New York
State law required that assess-ments
be made equal to 100 percent
of the value of property, and point-ed
out that the new valuation fixed
by the Village was considerably
under the Nassau County .assess-ment
of $45,207.310'for 1948, a dif-ference
of $2,056,620.
Tfie assessor said the raise was
due to two factors, adjustments of
the values placed on property that
were considered too low and by the
construction of homes and business
f buildings in -the village. ,, .; ]

Man Who Helped Raise Iwo Jima Flag
To Unveil Fainting in Legion Dugout
:__Mural of Fambfrs Scene to be Memorial to Dead
— 'Of World War ft—Class Initiation Planned
Rena A.-Gagnon, of Manchester, N.-H., one^pf the three
survivors of the five Marines'who raised the American Flag on
the island of Iwo Jima is to unveil the mural of the painting
of that .event on the front wall of$ —^—
the auditorium of the Dugout at
the semi-monthly meeting of Wil-liam
Clinton Story Fost A.L., to-
•morrow night.
The reproduction of C. 0- Seal's
painting of Joseph Rosenthal's
photograph of the Marines raising
of the flag on the Pacific Island is
to replace the larg flag that hung
over the wall for years. When
plans for redecorating the building
were being considered, Charles J.
Barbara suggested that the Iwo
Jima mural be substituted for the
flag, as a memorial to the men from
Freeport who lost their lives in
World War II.
Immediately the suggestion was
adopted and Mr. Barbara was
named chairman of a committee to
carry out the plan. John Nicholish,
an artist, was called in. He .out-lined
the' painting, and Mr. Barbara
and William • Stlegelmaier, another
Legionnaire, did tlie filling in. It
took three months to cbmplete the
task.
All five Marines who participated
In the raising of the -flag oiurlwo
Jima;.were wounded, and two sue-cumbed'^
to their founds. The others
recovered 'and live in. different sec-ofvthe-

School Aid Bill
~W.,S. Htighes, jr., Tells
How Passage Would
Benefit Freeport
The Northwest-Civic Association
at its monthly meeting Monday
night in headquarters of Hose Co.
4 on Sunrise Highway endorsed the
YoungiMIhno bill providing increas-ed
State aid for schools. The sec-retary
was instructed to wire Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey and the sponsors
of the measure urging Its passage.
William S. Hughes, Jr., principal
of the Seaman ^ive. school, briefly
explained the provisions of the bill.
He said that whereas Freeport will
receive $223,000 in .State aid during
the ^-current school year, if the
Young-MIlmo measure .-Is passed,
the amount-next year would be in-creased
from $350,000 to^ $400.-
000. And as the tax rate this year
was $1.69 for each $100 of assessed
valuation the prospects of a con-siderable
reduction were obvious,
he commented'.
Mr/ Hughes explained that at
present the State grants $100 "for
nach elementary school pupil* and
?130 for^a Wgh school student, the
proposed legislation provides $200
for elementary school children and
4260 for those in high-echoolBj ~T

George Yarrow said that as rthe
