Page 12 Massena, N.Y. Observer. Thursday, August 22,1974 Four Issues Pass In Third Norwood Vote Programs Should Help Road Safety Fight '°n-sp<*' Service A' record 926 voters trooped to the polls in the Norwood-Norfolk School District to approve four of the 10 issues on the ballot including one surprise win. The library books issue, which traditionally does not fare well, won by a slim margin when 451 voters turned out in favor of the proposition. The issue was a $3,200 orje with matching federal funds on approval. Thete were 434 votes cast against it. A door to door campaign organized by gym teachers in the system and executed by students is seen to be the (/Pi l\\ WttENYOV THINK OF FORMAL WEAR THINK OF U.R.MILLER© \ Northern New York's largest & most- j.complete, stock in formal rental & {{•sales.

'- ' „ Also passed were a student supplies issue for $15,000 C460-430) and a trans- portation proposition for $19,700. The transportation vote read 607-292. The six issues which failed included three school bus purchase requests, a proposition asking for money to buy non-teaching equipment, a $25,000 planned balance proposition and $10,000 requested for the cafeteria transfer fund. The school bus issues included a' request for a regular size school bus costing $12,750. That request was turned down when 526 residents failed to cast affirmative votes. The other buses included an $8,100 request to purchase a specially equipped bus and a $6,570 vehicle.. ^The specially equipped bus fell by a •501-377 margin while the tally in the final bus request registered defeat by a 474-408 mark. . „ The system has been operating on an austerity budget since August 13. - The next school \board meeting is scheduled for August 27. The board will rrteeHr^executive-session aLJLUKLplni.. _ with B-public meeting held following that. There is no time set for the public hearing. This was the third time that voters have faced these propositions. State Transportation Commissioner Raymond T. Schuler announced today he is enlisting the cooperation of county officials to implement two new high- way safety programs aimed primarily at local roads. \These programs,\ Commissioner Schuler said, \will provide us with new weapons to fight the, never-ending battle against highway accidents. With the close cooperation we in the State Department of Transportation fully , anticipate from local officials,.we can all • look forward to significant im- provements in driving safety.\ The Commissioner emphasized that the accident rate on local roads is three times the rate on the State highway system. \Last year the rate was 3.18 accidents per 100 million vehicle miles driven on the State system, while it was 9.44 accidents for the same amount of travel on local roads.\ The Safer Roads Demonstration Program and the Pavement Markings Demonstration, Program were both authorized by the Federal Highway? Safety Act of 1973 and are now ready ' for implementation. „ \One of their most unusual features,\ the Commissioner noted, \is that, for the first time, Federal high- way tax dollars may be spent off the major highways that come under Hie Federal JHighway Aid System, thereby allowing improvements on local roads with Federal funds.\ New York has been allocated $17.8 Ttfillion forSafer Roads and $6.9 million for Pavement Markings to be spent by June 30, 1978. Safer Roads is a 90 per cent Federal program with the State providing the remaining 10 per cent cost of each project. The Pavement Marking Program is 100 per cent Federally-funded. Corhmissioner Schuler said \These Federal tax dollars were collected from New Yorkers in the first place and we never get back as much as issent to Washington. We are not receiving a gift but are grateful for an increased return on our taxes.\ DOT is sending information on the .programs to New York City, Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse and to county highway superintendents throughout the State who are asked to notify smaller cities and other municipalities within their counties. The superintendents will be responsible for proposing and designing projects in cooperation with towns and villages. A basis for establishing project priority will be a municipality's ability to provide accident data before and after the improvement is made. Under Safer Roads, all projects must be off the Federal Aid Highway System, while under Pavement Markings, roads both oh and off the system will be improved, with the emphasis on rural secondary roads. Safer Roads projects will focus on removal or shielding of roadside ob- stacles, improving high-accident railroad grade crossings with better signs and other protective devices, upgrading traffic sign systems generally and applying new pavement markings at sites, with an apparent need for them. The separate program for Pavement Markings will be devoted to roads which are now unmarked or marked , improperly. In each project, the markings must be maintained for two years. ,-• \ '..
