Zimmerman indicated that he agreed with the budget proposal as a whole but was not in accord with the application of balances from the previous year being treated as revenue for the ensuing year. He also disagreed with the large amount provided for snow removal, on the grounds that it builds up too great a cash surplus. He said he did not think his objections war- ranted opposing the budget, how- ever, and voted for it. County Executive J. Russel Sprague remarked with a smile, \I hope your guess is better than my own-that your hope is well found- ed,'\ concerning m snow removal surplus. The budget was adopted following reading of an:'emergency message by Sprague which noted that' im- . mediate action was required in order to dispose of the vast amount of work necessary to complete pro- cessing and mail tax bills by the legal deadline.

BWlgeEF ° County . Executive. Sprague re- minded ,that the document was ready November 8 and that as far as he could learn not a single indi- vidual discussed the needs and re- quirements of departments with department heads. He assumed that beads of county departnients and the- board were willing to discuss their estimates with taxpayers. Supervisor A. Holly Patterson of Hempstead, who presided over the budget hearing last week, said in answer to 'a question from the floor, that the board held a lengthy discussion on questions presented and that it was decided to make no changes. Just before adjournment Super- visor Mercandte requested the county executive to clarify informa- tion relating to the proposed state express highway through Nassau county. Sprague reminded the su- pervisor that he was out of order. He said.he will make a statement at the proper time, Patterson's Statement A prepared statement released by Presiding Supervisor A. Holly Pat- terson of Hempstead afters the budget-adopting session of the Nas- sau board of supervisors yesterday served to answer critisims voiced at the budget hearing Wednesday. . The statement of Patterson, who presided at the hearing as vice- chairman of the county board, held that all members fully discussed all points raised and had given \hours of consideration\ to the criticisms. , It stated, ''The majority of the board of supervisors believes that many of the statements made at the hearing are in conflict with fact; that others of a personal or political mature showed little appreciation of the true aspects of the budgetary provisions they questioned, \\Some revealed a complete lack of comprehension of expanding gov- ernmental departments trying to keep pace with the fastest gr county population in the nation. _ INSIDE INFORMATION Our Features Comies .. .. .. 13 Movie Time .. . 11° Crossword Puzzle 16 More For Money 15 Emily Post .. . 9 Radio .. .. .. 11 Farmer's Corner 3 Teen-Age Page . 14 fllwtr 202 15 True Ei gh .. 4 Jimmy Fidier 11 Today's Thought 19 Jimmy Hatlo .. 16 Waterfront .. ik Needlecraft .. 16 Westbrook Pegler 10 Modest Maidens 4} 25 Years Ago .. 10 Yule Party Planned By Garden Club * on page 9 L.
