It was definitely decided that we are to have supervised recreation for our guests next summer and that a man for this job is to be hired.

The Town Board met Monday at Firemen ’ s Hall. We see that the town has bought three voting machines, one for each district. The cost was $960 each. Justice Dewey made a motion that these machines be insured. This motion was seconded and carried. The in surance will be carried through Westen Clark of Tillson. The Highway Superintendent asked that more money be issued for the P. W. A. -to carry on its work. This was done. Justice Brodsky brought up the question of the repair of the old state road which runs from Ros endale Heights down past Maple Hill to LeFever, a stretch of about two miles. Highway Superintendent Trandle introduced a Mr. Martin of the Amestate Co. who gave a rough figure of the cost of this work at $13,000. This price was for ma terial and use of machinery, the town to supply the roller. The Supervisor said they would have to discuss this matter before they could go on with the work as they had not spoken of the mat ter previously. Mr. Martin said that if -the work was done by hand it would per haps be cheaper but it would not be as good. This figuring was. on '*\• IS-foot 1 ‘ foad ’ with ” a two'inch top dressing of Amesale. Edward Deshion of Creek Locks was appointed constable and Grov er Mertain was made dog warden. Mr. Davis was made custodian of the voting machines and as Mr. Davis was present at the meeting he suggested that the old voting booths be sold as the town had no more us efor them. He thought they should ask for bids. He also suggested that the public be shown how these machines work, and if set up he will only be too glad to show them how they operate. The town clerk was empowered by the board to have the safes, etc., moved to the new office where all future business will be trans acted.

The meeting, which : was spon sored by the Parent-Teacher As sociation of Rosendale, was pre sided over by Mrs. E. F. Galyin, who -introduced the speaker. ' : ’ ’ Prof.- Mosher, who represented the New York State Education Department, outlined the steps necessary for centralization and explained that state aid would be double the amount of money rais ed by a proposed central school district. Proposed District A proposed central district, consisting of a school building housing the seventh and eighth grades, junior and senior high school students, probably would include Rosendale, High Falls, Stone Ridge and surrounding areas. The location of a central school is determined not toy a community but by a Board of Survey sent by the State. Education Department. This group studies the number of pupil miles and picks a central lo cation. Early Steps Early steps toward .centraliza tion are: The signing by 15 legal voters within a district ’ of a peti tion asking that such a step be taken. Copies of the petition-must be filed with the town clerk in each township of the proposed new district, also a copy with the State Education Department. It is then that the Board of Survey steps into the picture. (Continued ‘ on Page Four) ‘ Death by drowning ” is the ver dict handed down by Coroner Les- ' ton D. DuBois, of .
