VOTING FACILITES AROUSE PROTEST Board Of Election Urged To Avoid Long 'Waiting' To Insure Large Vote Stressing the large, vote cast in the West Hempstead fire district, R. W. Frederick of South Spruce street, West Hempstead, today. had addressed a letter to the Nassau county board of elections urging some action to avoid the \dis- couraging. waiting\ by increasing the voting facilities, in the area or extending the voting hours. One Of Largest Votes Frederick's letter read: \The West Hempstead fire dis- trict election held Tuesday, De= cember 4, at the West Hempstead firehouse brought out some 630 residents and was recorded .as one of the largest votes ever t by the community.. This is, in TA proof that the efforts of organiza- tions such as the West Hempstead Oaks Civic association to stimulate greater: interest in civic affairs is Rearing fruit. Similarly, it is evi- dent that the successful candidate becomes the choice of a well rep- resented community. . There is no question but that this can result in but one thing-healthier, more democratic conditions for citizens. \However unfortunately, many voters were discouraged from par- ticipating in this election because it required from one to one and a half hours of waiting before the ballot could be cast. Others, par- ticularly older people, who suf- fered through this long period of standing, expressed. utter disgust and threatened to be absent from any subsequent elections. While it must be conceded that the num- ber of voters exceeded your ex- pectations, nevertheless some ar» rangements should be made to cover such contingencles. In- creased facilities and/or \the ex- tension of voting hours are two possible: solutions. \Your co-operation is solicited and -some public: acknowledge- ment of your plans would be ap- preciated.\ « POSTAL STATIONS TO OPEN IN 3 SCHOOLS Three temporary Christmas pos- tal stations. will 'be opened in schools in the Hempstead area to eliminate long waiting lines at the main postofflce, Postmaster Thom- as J.

(18 DEBT FREE; MOST NOW On BG Postwar Projects Hit $140,000,000 Capes Tells Institute A definite improvement in city and village finances during the past year was reported yesterday at the day-long regional meeting of the New York State Training institute, at Min- eola village hall, by Wil- liam P. Capes, director of the institute and executive secretary of the state con- ference of mayors. Capes said @: mumber of com- munities have balanced budgets, and that all along the line there has been a steady accumulation of reserves to finance repair and postwar public improvements. Constitutional and statutory re- strictions and regulations, coupled with knowledge gairled through past experience, will.prevent any \runaway borrowing\. ..and in- crease of municipal debts, Capes predicted. Eleven cities and more than one-half of the villages, Capes added, are now operating on a pay-as-you-go policy; three cities will be debt free within the next two years if they don't create any new indebtedness; and five first class, six second class and seven third class villages were debt free this year. Respecting - postwar . projects, Capes said that plans filed -by cit- ies with the municipal revenue commission, totaled $121,500,000 in estimat=d project costs and $19,« 000,000 by villages. He reported that 132 villages and 43 cities have had projects approved Under the proposed tax stabill« zation plan recommended by the commission, if enacted into law at the next regular session of the legislature, every city and village Capes said, will receive as much state-shared tax assistance in the future las in the past five years. New Jaws, he revealed, give mu- nicipalities all the necessary power for the maintenance and operation of airports and for airport zoning. The problem of taxation of air- ports outside of municipal limits has not been solved, he added. Morgan Strong, assistant direc» tor of the institute reviewed re- cent court decisions affecting cities and villages in respect to the uni- form claims act, rent receivership, federal . regulations, taxation of municipal bonds, street lighting contracts and municipal liability The returning veteran was the subject of Strong's talk in the afternoon while Capes reviewed municipal problems.
