eview Boom' AF Will aims County Schools Get Share of 3d Quarter Sales Tax Allotment By PAT ZISKA Area residents who claim Monday night's sonic booms caused damage to property may contact the Air Force for compensation, it was learned yesterday. But officials hinted that collection on such claims could be a lengthy procedure. They advised claimants to contact the claims officer of the nearest Air Force Base. (Hancock Field, Syracuse; Griffiss Base, Rome, or Niagara Falls Air Force Base.) A spokesman at Hancock advised aeainst householders with a broken window to await such inspection, the source pointed to the government's position. "Taxpayers couldn't expect us to repair their property without proof that the damage was caused by sonic booms." The burden of proof is with the claimant, he added.

Air Force officials also disclosed that sonic disturbances like those experienced here Monday will probably continue. Two F101 "Voodoo" interceptors flying at 36,000 feet in the Rochester-Syracuse-Buffalo area exceeded the speed "Because of the world situation we can't live without it. It's a sound that will be heard more and more often as the country progresses farther into the age of supersonic flight." Sonic booms are caused by shock waves which build up around a jet flying faster than 761 miles per hour at sea level. The waves form a cone which extends back from the nose of plane like waves created by a boat speeding over the water. The waves then travel to the ground at the speed of sound.

Like angry waves assaulting a peaceful shore, the sound waves slap against the earth's surface creating the boom. This same kind of pressure wave is created by a thunderclap. At 40,000 feet, Air Force officials claim, booms sound like distant thunder. At 30,000 feet, the noise sounds like close range thunder. claimants having the work done and submitting of sound at 6:47 and 6:50 p.m.

Council Okays Sewer Study In UR Area By ARTHUR DEUTSCH The expected growth of The city gets less, the county gets more and the county school districts get something for the first time in the distribution of sales tax receipts for the third quarter, announced yesterday by the office of County Manager Gordon A.

Howe. The quarter starting last Aug. 1 was the one stipulated by the Board of Supervisors Dec. 1, 1960, for the beginning of distribution under a formula that boosted the county's share from 4 to 10 per cent of the net, assigned $1 million annually for county school districts from the town-villages share, and declared the 1960 federal census (as soon as data were available) as the yardstick for per capita shares to the county municipalities. Of the total collected for the period ending Oct.

31, $4,901,674.77, the sum of $66,954.72 was for expenses. This left a total of $4,831,720.05, from which the county's share is 10 per cent, or $483,472.
