JANUARY 25, 1962 VOLUME 12. NUMBER 5 TOWN BOARD HIGHLIGHTS SCHOOL BOARD HIGHLIGHTS 'E ill Group Presses for Change In Road Financing Policy SCHOOL BOARD ASKED TO SCHEDULE SWIMMING POOL VOTE At its meeting of Jan. 15, the Lake Shore Central School I "a ft A GROUP OF SEVEN DERBY RESIDENTS has announced tha't it is circulating a petition to be presented to the Public Service Commission to request an investigation of mileage rates being charged by the New York Telephone Co.

The petition was drawn at a recent meeting of the group at the home of Fred Korey Sturgeon Point who said that those present had voiced approval of the new Niagara Frontier toll-free plan in general but were opposed to mileage rates. Left to right, the people are: Henry Kramer, Tom Martin, Mabel Dahl-quist, Fred Korey Lee Murphy, Fred Korey Jr. and M. "Babe" Catalano. MOTHERS' MARCH IS NEXT TUESDAY, GENERAL NAMES COLOIIEL AND CHAIRMEN to pay for improvements to the property of a special area.

The letter cited what is called a "large number of paper, private roads in the town," and said that when the town accepts title to them it must construct a completely new road in each of them. The amount set aside for this work this year, the letter pointed out, is $25,000, which it figured at about $1.65 per $1000 assessed valuation on the local tax, bill. Adoption of the special district policy, Mr. Barters communication stated, would make it possible for everyone who wants improveji roads to have them right away, instead of waiting while th? town builds one mile of road per year under its present policy. "There is always a fight about who is next," the letter said.

On the other side of the question, Town Attorney Floyd H. Hurst said that the special method would probably not be fair to the people on private roads who would have to pay for their own after having contributed to the cost of others throughout the town for many years. It was also pointed out that there is an official tendency throughout the state to avoid the setting up of many small districts to accomplish various purposes. The taxpayers' group, however, insisted it was an Important matter of good planning and indicated to the press that it would circulate a petition, if necessary, to change the policy. GOUYD' RE-APPOINTED AS PARK FOREMAN Other business by the town board included the unanimous re-appointment of Alvin Gouyd as Evans Town Park foreman.

This matter has been tabled at In a letter to the Evans Town Board, read by Supervisor Frank Lorenz at the Jan. 17 meeting, the Evans Taxpayers Protective Association urged the board to adopt a policy of establishing special districts for all new road construction. The letter, over the signature of Dan Bart els, chairman of the group; said that all other towns in the county have such a policy. It asserted that the other towns do not accept deeds conferring private roads to the town unless the roads have been completely built and finished according to proper standards. This is more just to all the taxpayers, it was claimed, since they are thus not re- ADULT CLASSES ARE UNDER WAY Last week saw the opening of the Lake Shore Central School's Spring Adult Educa1-tion term.

Most of the classes offered are now underway, but there is a reported need for more men to join the Tuesday evening Community Theater group.

Jene Helmburg'and Wll-ford Clark outlined the results of a survey bv the Chamber on the subject. Although not specifically proposing that a pool be built, the men asked that the school board schedule a ballot on the question by district voters.

Mr. Heimburg said that the question often arose in the community as to why no swimming pool had been built at the senior high school, since provision had been made in the original plans for one. At the time the building was constructed, he said, steel shortages and other restrictions had prevented the inclusion of the pool. Because of the local interest, Mr. Heimburg continued, the Chamber of Commerce had conducted a survey through various town organizations to determine public sentiment on the matter.

He said that re sponse in favor of such a pool N. WlttS UVLTWUtUIIUlUj. "'sented a number of people purportedly representing local ffrnnns. Among the reasons cited by these people for favoring the pool were: Its potential benefit to the community recreation program, thought by many to be inadequate; its probable deterrance of juvenile delinquency and an answer to youngsters' complaints of "no place to go;" the uncalculated savings of lives' through swimming training; and the added facility in an emergency for water storage for use of the Civil Defense hospital at school. John Bartus of the Evans Taxpayers Protective Association, however, declared that his group had not been contacted on the Question and was on- posed to It, not as being un- desirable, he said, but because the taxpayer cannot afford it.

He cited increased costs for new buildings and other fa cilities. He commended the school board for its, efforts in keeping costs down on the Anthony J. Schmidt Elementary School and suggested a "hard and fast look at the harm a swimming pool can do." He said the people In his group would be willing to pay heir rf air share of absolute necessities, but could not afford a swimming pool at this time and urged rejection of the question. Mr. Bartus urged adequate education "without frills" and "at rock-bottom prices." He said that residents with stable incomes and pensioners are finding it difficult to carry the tax burden.

Thomas Ferraro, president of the school board, recommended Chamber of Commerce to ob tain evidence of the favorable sentiment for the swimming pool. Some other board members expressed agreement.
