Convention, is president of the Press Publishing Company, which owns and publishes the New York World. Mr. Pulitzer Is actively In charge of that leading exponent of democracy and personally directs its editorial policy and Is himself one ot the strongest editorial writers in the country. In the preliminary presidential cam¬ paign of 1912 Mr. Pulitzer in the World ijpade a persistent flght for the nomination of Woodrow Wilson and his paper hae been a consistent sup¬ porter of President Wilson's admin¬ istration and a great aource ot strength to the Democratic party in the nation and In every section of New York.
For a number of years Mr. Pulitzer has owned Kiluna farm In the Man¬ hasset section, knowns as the Pulit¬ zer estate and with his family re¬ sides there practically throughout the year. He is prominently identified with Nassau county aa a tajfpayer and a voter. He Is also a member of the Manhasset Yacht Club at Port Wash-* Ington. In his latter thirties, Mr. Pulitzer Is as democratic In hie per¬ sonality' and In his dealings with others as he Is in his iKrtitlcal prin¬ cipals. Notwithstanding the great service of the World to the Demo¬ cratic party as well as In his own per¬ aonal support of Democratic princi¬ ples, Mr. Pulitzer has never sought an ofllce or honors at the hands of the party.
No one could more justly deserve the honor of representing the flrst congressional district of New York In the renomination of Woodrow WUson than his most effective and loyal newspaper supporter, Ralph PulUaer^^ an honor which in turn Is reflected upon Nassau county and the Town ot North Hepmstead in particular.

Hon.   Ceor.ue
Albany    N    Y Dear  Sir:
I call VOIII atlenlion to assembly bill .¦•:{!. "t\xi acl to authorize the counly of .Vassau to issue bonds to |)ay its proportion of the principal of the bonded indebtedness of Queens County."
Tlir purpose of tliis act was to l>ri)vide li'gal aiilbojity for the re- fiindin.i; of the bonded indebtedness ui Qiieeli.-^ County direeted to be paiil purs'iant to an onler of the Supreme Coiiri in l^^'.'!!. The anmiiut coiiiinR due ol' that blinded Indebtedness whlcll must he jiaid by the Cdiinty of Nassau in 1!) 1 7 is, in round numbers. $7o;'.,liOO.O(i. This proposed act was the outcome of n.-coniniendalionH by the late Comptroller of .N'assau County, Charles 1.. I'liipjis. and the j Hoard   of  Supervisors.
l'pon assuming the duiies of the I comptroller of the County of Nassau, it was niy desire and intent ion to I carry nut the policies and rocoiiinien- dations of the late comptroller as far as possible, and especially in regard to the niatter of the payment of thc $703,000.00 bonds coming due In 1917. it Is my desire to follow to com¬ pletion his view in reference thereto. Knowing that Mr. Phipps was long connected with the municipal affaire of Queens and Nassau Counties and during the last twenty years he hav¬ ing filled the offlce of County Treas¬ urer of Queens County and an impor¬ tant position In tl\e comptroller's office of the City of New York, and for two years Comptroller of the County of Na.ssau. I feel that his opinion in reference to this matter should be given weight and consider¬ ation.
You will notice that this act does not direct the Board of Supervisors of Nassau County to refund the $703.- 000.00 bonded Indebtedness; It only provides legal authority for the re¬ funding of the .same. If the Board of Supervisors determine that that la the best policy under the circum¬ stances.
It seems to me that the fiscal offi¬ cers of the County of Nassau are acting wisely to provide such author¬ ity and to use such wise precaution.
Personally, I do not know what the Board of Supervisors wlll do, but I feel that thoy wlll not In such an Important matter ae providing for the payment of $703,000.00 of bond¬ ed indebtedness or for the rminding of the same, do so without taking counsel of the taxpayers, business¬ men and financial men of our county. The criticism of the office of the state comptroller lately directed to the financial affairs of one of our towns of the county is that the offi¬ cers ot the county have not kept abreast of the changing conditions of our community by providing ne^w laws to cover our new and progress¬ ive conditions. Ib other words, there has been a lack of Initiative by our fiscal offlcers securing constructive eglslatlon.
Of the total amount of bonded In¬ debtedness ot $4,808,000. the Su¬ preme Court directed that the County of Nassau should assume $1,011,967.- 89, and as you will notice, over $700,- 000 of said amount comes due in one year, namely, 1917.
Tbe Injustice of the financial bur¬ den coming due next year Is the fact that the officials creating said bonded indebtedness twenty years ago, made the whole Issue due at one time. They should have provided for the pay¬ ment of the bonds for road construe¬ tlon In Installments extending over that length of period.
Many of the peoplfc living in the County of Nassau In the year 1917 have not had the use of the Improve¬ ments for which the bonded indebt¬ edness was created. A large propor¬ tion of the present inhabitants of tne County of Nassau have come Into our county within the last few years. While It may be unjust not to require the people who have lived tn the C'ounty of Nassau and have had the use of the road Improvements during that time to pay their bonded indebt¬ edness in the year 1917, it may be urged that It Is unjust to require tbe people wbo have not lived In the county during the last twenty years to pay for all of these improvements at one time. If we provide authority for tlie refunding of these bonds, when the time arrives for the Board of Supervisors to determine wbetWer the bonds shal be paid or whether they shall be refunded, they may at that time consider the equities of tbe taxpayers of the county.
The officials of twenty years ago should not have made such a great amount of bonds due In any one year, and the former fiscal officers of the County of Nassau who understood the flnancial burdens of our county should have anticipated the future and obtained such legislation as wmild have enabled the collecting of
a portion of this bonded indebtedness during the last number of years so that thc burden should not have been felt as it will be felt if the lioard of Supervisors decide that the whole l?7ii;i,"0ii shall he paid in I HI 7. In other words, ohtain legislation so that a sinking fuiul could have been created.
It lia-~ been stated that since the formation of the County of Nassau. some o ft he macadm roads built from till- I'diid issue:, from iS'.r.', lo is<t;i have been re-t-iuistriK-ted tlve limes by funds raised hy bond issues so Ihat til.-I-e are at Ihe pre^i nl lime un paid, live layers of lionds on the same

roads. So far as 1 am able to learn from the records of the proceedings of the Hoard of Supervisors and from In¬ quiries of oflielals and fornier ollicials of Nassau Counly, 1 am unable to ascertain that there are live bond Is¬ sues affecting thc same part of any road in our county.
If it were not for tbe construction and maintenance and iniprovement of our county road system, there would be no serious flnancial difficul¬ ties or burdens so far as the bonded Indebtedness of the counly Is con¬ cerned, and this leads me to say that It Is my opinion that a law should be enacted i)roblbltlng the county qffl¬ cials having the. duly to construct find maintain such county roads from bonding the county for such purpose without a vote of the taxpayera. Yours very truly,
(Slgnedl     EARL J.  BENNETT,
