Financial Problems Of County Increase, Supervisors Are Told LITTLE VALLEY--(Special)--, County supervisors will have to find added ways to secure funds to maintain the present level of public service to residents of the county, Bert J. Dorsey, chairman of the board, said here Wednesday. Mr. Dorsey, beginning his eleventh year as board chairman and twenty-sixth year as a supervisor, said; "I don't -eel qualified to tell you men what to do, but conditions are worse every year and bring more financial problems to cities, towns and the county. "I have been opposed, to a floun- ty sales tax, but several counties have found added revenue by that means and the city of Buffalp realized six million dollars the first vear under a sales tarf.

We might look into a limited tax, say a sales tax on heavy items. A one per cent tax on autos would bring this county a lot of money. "Cattaraugus County real estate is now heavily burdened by taxes, probably more than it should be, and the services which people demand will either have to be curtailed or more money will have to be raised. A sales tax gets money out of people that wt can't get otherwise." NEED STATE SUPPORT Tie said he would favor a one cent per-gallon increase in gasoline taxes if the state would make returns to and the county on a better basis than it does presently. That the county highway department could make a better and less expensive job of seeing to all roads in the county also suggested by Mr.

Dorsey. "Towns now have highway machinery as expensive and as large as the county requires," Mr. Dorsey said. "If we follow our practice of turning over town welfare to the county welfare, and turn over back roads in towns to the county for maintenance we might get a better job for half the He added that school ccntial- iiation had made it necessary to operate school busses over "back roads where a deer would have hesitated to travel Leonard H. Swrfh, clerk of the board, acted as temporary chairman when the board met to organize as a special order of business at two o'clock.

He asked if any member of the board objected to Robert M. Henry as the new supervisor from the town of Farmersville, succeeding the late "Alfred J. Williams. No member objected, and Mr. Henrv seated in compliance with 'a Supreme Court ruling by Justice Hamilton Ward in Buffalo December 26! A friendly court action tested Mr.

Henry's eligibility on the grounds that he Hot serve ai supervisor, having feecn a member of the Farmersville town board which named Kim. rNAXIMOUS CHOICE Mr. Swan, invited nominations tor board chairman, to which F. Karl Westover of Yorkshire replied by nominating Mr. Dorsey.

Seconded by Paul-A. Setter, town of New Albion, Mr. Dorsey's election was by acclamation. Mr. Swan named majority leader Weatover and minority leader H.

Glenn. Hogue to escort Mr. Doraey present year. to the chair. Other organizational appointments named Mr.

Swan to succeed himself as board clerk and he accepted with brief remarks in which he thanked members "for the twentieth- time" at the commencement of twenty-first year. H. W. Martin' of Olean began his twenty-third year as journal clcrh. also elected unanimously after nomination by W.

In December supervinyis authorized investigation into the purchase Of Insurance to afford Cattarau- county taxpayers protection in general liability fiom claims by pe''sons who tui.sluiii damage on county highways and bridges.

Within the past few years a number of claims have been presented against the county and a current action for 5200,000 is awaiting trial, presumably in February, in Erie county supreme court. Mrs. Lily Armstrong of Springville is suing for a death claim following fatal injuries to her husband at a county line bridge. County Attorney James S. Pierce informed the supervisors in November that other counties carry such insurance and last month Highway Superintendent C.

Howard Edmunds suggested that the board protect the taxpayers by insurance. Supervisor Joseph V. Henry of Olcan said, "There has been no committee meeting, but Mr. Setter of Cattaraugus and I have talked with an agency in Salamanca and I request the privilege of the floor for their representative." COSTS EXPLAINED Board members learned that general comprehensive liability insurance will cost approximately J5.347, for protection up to 000 in a single accident and $200,000 in total personal injury claims, together with $1,000 in one property action, and $10,000 in aggregate property claims within a single year. Mr.

Dorscy referred the insurance proposal to the committees on finance and Insurance. Year end reports for several county departments were read and filed. County Treasurer Richard L. Farnham reported that the county had received 516.890.10 in dog licenses during 1948, ant 1 had paid out $3,252.25 in claims covering- damage done by canines. A state department of correction report covering the inspection of Cattaraugus county jail here last October recommended only that visiting booths be installed, and a letter to the board asked what deposition is intended for the recommendation.

Sanitary conditions, at the jail and the handling of foodstuffs was approved.

He arrived in this country in 1941, and his work since then has rated increasing critical ac- clciim. His performance of the Bcla Bnrlok Violin Concerto with the New York Philharmonic directed by Artur Rodzinslti was called sensational. His performance of the same concerto a year ago with the Sun Francisco Symphony set that city on its musical ear. He left audiences cheering and critics searching for new superlatives.

A review quotes the orchestra's manager as saying. "This is the most exciting thing that's happened since the opera house was built."
