7. 2. I Section A Wednesday, Nov. 8, 1978 Gannett Westchester Newspapers PC Obituaries GOP's Regan bucks tide Continued from page one ernor, they still awarded him a clear victory over Republican Perry B. Duryea.

It was a remarkable comeback for Carey, who three weeks ago trailed the Long Islander in all polls. Carey, the former Brooklyn congressman, rebounded to win by a margin of around 000 votes, bringing with him Mario M. Cuomo from Queens as a new lieutenant governor and Robert Abrams of the Bronx as attorney general. Cuomo will replace Mary Anne Krupsak in the second spot next year. Late this morning, Michael Roth of Rye conceded defeat to Abrams.

At the time, figures showed Abrams leading, 2,136,272 to 1,744,051. The election marked the end of a 25-year career for one of the most powerful men in Albany, Assembly Speaker Stanley Steingut, who lost in a bid to recapture his Brooklyn district on the Liberal line. His absence will touch off a struggle for his post, and perhaps change the legislative outlook for the next two years. Despite Regan's win and the fact that the state Senate remains in their hands, Republicans have been laid low by Tuesday's voting. After an expensive campaign which cost around $4 million, the GOP fell short of their goal of recapturing the governorship, in spite of early signs that Duryea could take Carey.

Duryea's loss followed the pattern of former Gov. Malcolm Wilson's defeat: He didn't do as well as he thought he could in his home Long Island counties, he lost Queens by a wide comptroller has wide powers to audit the acmargin, and couldn't rack up the margins he tivities of executive Levitt's departments, and one of needed in the upstate counties. the hallmarks of 24 years in office was Regan's win defied the polls, which had a constant stream of reports, many of which shown him trailing Goldin by as much as 10 embarassed the administrations. points last week.

Perone leading Ryan for Assembly Continued from page one Town and New Rochelle to overcome deficits in Rye Town and Rye City, a pattern he apparently failed to repeat this year. Ryan was the first Democrat in modern times elected to the 91st district seat. Liberal Party candidate Oscar Radin, who finished a distant third in the 1976 campaign, did no better this time, gathering 359 votes on the unofficial tally.

Announcing the victory at a Mamaroneck Village party, Perone reflected on the focus of his campaign, which centered on Ryan's twoyear record in the Assembly. Perone said Ryan's voting record was "not in the best interests of the people of the 91st district. I did everything to bring that to the attention of the The defeated incumbent recalled Perone's campaign, saying it "distorted" his record and adding that the campaign would le leave a on Perone's victory. Ryan told a group of applauding supporters in his Larchmont headquarters that he would consider running for public office again. Saying he had the "utmost respect" for Ryan, Perone added, "I've got a lot of work ahead of me." Undefeated in four election tries, including two Mamaroneck Town Council races and a primary, Perone said he would bring a message to Albany that the state must give some relief to taxpayers; Although Ryan did not concede defeat; pointing out that at his headquarters the totals for most Rye Town districts were not received, he told his supporters he thought he did his best in the Assembly and did not regret his efforts.

"This is not the first time I have lost," he said, recalling a losing effort in a Mamaroneck Town. Council race before he tried for the Assembly. Ryan said he would return to his private Rye bud get at a glance $6,261,466 $6,041,643 Tax levy $3,533,387 $3,525,352 $8,035 Assessed value $104,322,040 $104,084,815 $237,225 Tax rates- per $1,000 of assessed valuation $33.87 $33.87 1979 1978 Change Percent Total budget 4th tax boost-less year in offing for Rye City Continued from page one come available for public inspection Thursday at City Hall and at the Rye Free Reading Room. CULROSS SAID I he expects the council to begin discussion of his proposal at its meeting a week from today. Budget adoption, after a public hearing and several work sessions to be scheduled, must take place no later than Dec.

31. Asked how he managed to keep the tax rate steady, Culross said, "We've made a very diligent effort not to increase taxes because that is what the city council wanted." He said, "Overall, we feel we can continue to provide the same level of services" as in previous years if his budget plan is adopted. "It's not an expansionary budget, but it's not an austere budget eitber, Culross explained. "It's a reasonable, do-able budget." For example, he said the budget includes salary raises of about 5. percent for most non-unionized city administrators and should cover police pay hikes expected to result from settlements on a contract for 1977-1978 and for the next contract period.

ALSO INCORPORATED into the budget proposal is an economical alternative to filling the vacant city engineer's post. Culross'1979 Rye budget proposal calls for the spending of a total of $6,261,466, an increase of $219,823 or 3.6 per cent over this year's $6,041,643. Only slightly more than half of the money that Rye would spend, under Culross' proposal, be raised through real-property taxes. The total tax levy is listed at 33,533,387, or 0.2 percent higher than the current year's levy. The proposed increase in the tax levy coincides with a small rise in total property assessments in the city over the oneyear period.

The new assessment roll, filed Monday by Assessor Philip McGovern, lists assessables for the present year at a total of Death AULD, Mary C. on November 6, 1978. Wife of the Late Robert Auld. Mother of Mrs. Thomas V.

The incumbent promised to offer some help to his successor and said he would congratulate Perone as soon as a final vote tally was received.

Ryan campaign workers began predicting defeat after early returns showed the two candidates running close in Mamaroneck Town and New Rochelle. Many expressed surprise at the close vote in Rye, where Perone won by about 150 votes, but registered disappointment in the New Rochelle total. Perone gathered about a 100-vote plurality in New Rochelle, where Ryan had posted an 800-vote lead in 1976. The outgoing assemblyman was joined at his campaign headquarters by his wife, Paula; his mother and other members of his family. The candidate's relatives said the defeat would at least allow Ryan more time at home, something they said he did not have while serving in the Assembly.

Trends are few across nation C'ontinued from page one volt, not all taxpayers are equally revolutionary. Ballot initiatives to limit taxes or spending drew strong support in Illinois, Arizona, North Dakota and Nevada, for example, but failed or won by narrow margins in Michigan, Colorado and South Dakota. Voter apathy may 1 be rampant in the country, but it's not as bad as many political leaders had feared. One television network projected the voter turnout nationally at 36 percent, which is just less than the 1974 figure a and the lowest turnout in a non-presidential election since World War II. Some politicians had warned that only one-third of voters would go to the polls.

-If there is an anti-incumbent mood in the country, it was not readily apparent. Although five or six sitting senators and at least two incumbent governors were being turned out of office, their defeats were attributable either to their own failings or those of their party organizations. The Republican effort to build support among blacks suffered a setback. In Massachusetts, Republican Edward Brooke, the Senate's only black, was defeated, apparently because of his widely publicized marital and ethical problems. In Hartford, the only black Republican candidate for the House, Ben Andrews, was trounced by incumbent Democrat William Cotter.

All of the potential presidential candidates who had to go to the voters Tuesday did well. Republicans Sen. Howard Baker of Tennessee and Gov. James Thompson of Illinois won landslide re-elections, as did California Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown.

In addition, the election produced a number of attractive young winners who inevitably will get a lot of national attention. Among them: Democratic Sen. -elect Bill Bradley in New Jersey; Democratic Bill Clinton in Arkansas, who is only 31 years old; Republican Sen. -elect William Cohen in Maine; and Republican Sen. -elect Thad Cochran in Mississippi, who became the first Republican to be popularly elected to the Senate in Mississippi history.

There is no evidence that the electorate i is veering sharply to the left or the right. The more conservative Democratic candidates as perceived by the voters, ai least lost to the more liberal Republican candidates in the Illinois and Minnesota Senate races. In Pennsylvania, in one of the Republicans' greatest triumphs, losing Democratic gubernatorial nominee Peter Flaherty had campaigned as one who was more frugal than the Republican victor, Richard Thornburgh. On the other hand, a major conservative issue opposition to the Panama Canal treaties helped defeat Democratic Sen. William Hathaway in Maine, and was the major factor in the apparent defeat in New Hampshire of Democratic Sen.

To slightly increase spending without a tax-rate hike in 1979, Culross' budget call for taking in $2,228,079 a 2.8 percent increase from sources other than property taxes and using some $500,000 in surplus funds. CULROSS SAID the largest single factor contributing to the projected 3.6 percent spending increase jump in insurance costs.

He noted the skyrocketing of insurance 1 premiums from $279,000 in 1978 to $450,900 in 1979, predicted by the city's insurance agents, alone accounts for more than three-quarters of the expected opening rise for the entire budget. But, on the other hand, Culross's budget plan calls for saving money since Vincent Baum retired last April. According to the tentative spending plan, the city could save $11,363 if it created and filled the new position of it created and filled the new position of assistant to the building inspector and contracted with an engineering consultant for services requiring a licensed engineer. Since Baum retired, Building Inspector Donald Graefenecker not a licensed engineer, has been acting city engineer with no pay increases. The city payroll would be boosted somewhat by an amount not specifically listed in the budget if the council follows other Culross suggestions for personnel changes.

The budget proposes, creating the post of assistant Rye Golf Club manager for a present employee paid this year with federal training funds and hires on one additional laborer to divide his time between the golf club and the Recreation Department. The now federally-employed golf club employee, Preben be one city victim of recent cutbacks in federal Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) programs. He will reach the new 18-month job limit next year. THE LOSS of $92,000 in money to fund seven CETA positions included in this year's budget erodes the revenue side of the 1979 budget proposal.
