Board Of Supervisors
Passes County Budget
Drastic Cut In Tax Rate Approved
" The Nassau County Board
of Supervisors on Monday
approved a $ 263,716,000.
County Budget that provides
for a drastic reduction in
the property tax rate.
At the same time the
Board agreed to County
Executive Eugene H. Nick-erson's
request to impose
a two percent County Sale*
Tax.
The budget adopted by
the Board is $ 13,768,000.
less than that requested by
Nickerson. Among the major
cuts was a $ 6,150,000
reduction in Welfare assistance.
Another $ 2,519,000 was
saved by eliminating 366
unfilled jobs, mostly in the
office of Administrative Services,
Department of Public
Works and Meadowbrook
Hospital.
Instead of a tax rate
of $ 3.21 per $ 100 of assessed
valuation that would have
resulted from Nickerson's
budget, the tax rate will be
$ 2.95 a decrease of 26
cents. The current county
tax rate is $ 3.12.
" Let us not forget," said
Hempstead Town Presiding
Supervisor Ralph G. Caso,
in his budget message delivered
as Vice- chairman of
the County Board, " that
we are caught in a fiscal
bind of the County Executive's
own making.
" A few weeks ago we
wrote an unfortunate new
chapter in the fiscal annals
of Nassau County when we
went into deficit financing
for the first time as we
were forced to approve more
than $ 3 million in budget
anticipation notes. In effect
we were forced to pledge
the credit of the future to
pay the bills of the past."
Caso said the budget reductions
are in line with
the announced intention of
the Board of Supervisors
to " establish priorities for
county programs for the
coming year."
Concluding his message
Caso said: " We pledge to
the people of Nassau County
that progress will continue
. . . but not at the price of
bankruptcy."
Goodell Calls For Gov't
Economy Commission
U. S. Senator Charles Goodell
today called for the
creation of a Government
Commission on Efficiency
and Economy to study the
Federal Government's administrative
apparatus and
to make recommendations
for improving government
service.
Goodell said: " The first
thorough study of the operation
of the Federal Executive
branch was reported to
Congress in 1949. The fact
that over half of its 300 recommendations
were made
effective indicates the usefulness
of periodic stock- taking.
It has been 13 years since
the last in- depth examination
of our government's
structure and procedures.
" The need for re- organization
in the Federal Government
structure grows increasingly
clear. The proverbial
Federal Government
octopus is just too fat. The
muddle of the Federal bureaucracy
is so well known
that it tends to be forgotten.
Muddling has meant
prolonging the time when
we meet the urgent and
critical needs of our people.
Meanwhile tax revenue has
been spent to contribute to
this morass.
" I firmly believe that
ifteaningful efficiency and
commitment c a n ' a n d must
complement each other in
meeting the needs of our
people. The business sector
continues to demonstrate
tjiis. Business is showing an
increased willingness to become
involved in the most
critical needs of our communities.
In a variety of
projects, the business sector
is assisting new and
existing businesses owned
and operated by Negroes in
slum areas. Business is finding
summer jobs for young
people; and business is providing
on- the- job training
and job opportunities to
hard- core unemployed.
" When commitment and
efficiency go hand- in- hand
in the business sector, immense
benefits a r e derived by
our communities and people.
Government's commitment
to community development
coupled with economy and
efficiency can increase these
benefits.
" Stock- taking and streamlining
of the Federal bureaucracy,
then, are a must
for the new Administration.
A Government Commission
on Efficiency and Economy
would undertake an independent
study and make
recommendations on such
items as: expenditure control,
elimination of overlapping
structures and duplicated
functions, consolidation
of similar services, abolition
of structures no longer necessary,
and initiation of
needed services."
APPLICATION FOR
FIREMAN TURNED BACK
Last Friday night a fine,
loyal civic minded member
of the community of
Massapequa filled out an
application for fireman. He
was prompted to do this
because he had heard how
seriously undermanned the
department is at the pres-
3nt time. However, to his
surprise, he found that even
some of his old friends were
afraid to sponsor him, because
this man's wife had
run in the recent race for
F i r e Commissioner, and this
was being held against him.
F'dale Music
Director Works
Igor Hudadoff, Distict
Director of Music in the
Farmingdale Public { schools,
has been advised by Shawnee
Press Music Publishers
that they have accepted two
major works for Band and
String Orchestra for immediate
publication. The " Sight
Reader for Young Bands"
will be published in two
volumes of 16 pages each.
The books were written to
provide additional training
and performance materials
for young bands. The " Sight
Reader for Young Strings"
will be similar to the Band
Reader but will focus
on the problems of the
String student with an emphasis
on the development of
accurate intonation through
short simple Unison studies.
Hudadoff has been writing
educational materials for
Bands, Orchestras, Ensembles
and Soloists for the
past ten years. He has been
published by Balwin, Pro
Art, and Shawnee Press, all
publishers of educational
methods and materials. His
Band publications consist of
two Full Band arrangements,
" Mac's Merry Medley,"
" Three Miniature
Classics for Band," and two
Rhythm Methods for Band,
" Adventures In Rhythm"
and " A Rhythm A Day"
as well as his original work,
" Just for Counting," for
all' Instruments or Voices.
His publications for Soloists
include the " Fifty
Standard Solos Series," " Fifteen
lnermediate Solos,"
and " Eleven Classic
Solos," all for Band Instruments.
There are also two
Band - Ensemble works,
" Bandsembles" and " Concert
and Ensemble," and a
series of six Ensemble
Books.
