The county and legislative slate were elected by greater mai«»rities than ever before.

Cohalan, Jr., Mr. Munder’s op ponent had American Labor P a rty endorsement, w hile Levy benefited in a negligible way from his inde pendent nomination. He lost his home town of Babylon by slightly more ttian 1,000 votes, despite the tremendous effort th a t was made there. In ^m ilar fa^dilon the candidacy of Cohalan w ith Democratic and Labes Party support fell far short of making noticeable inroads on District Attorney M under’s strength.

Town’s Only Bonded Indebtedness $15,000; No Short Term Bonds FoUowing fhe Annual Hearing on the Budget which was held at the last meeting of the Southold Town Board, the Budget for the year, 1940-41 was adopted substantially the same, so far as Town expenditures go, as the Bud get for the past year. Last year’s Highway tax was $.31, and this year the figure is exactly the same. The general State, County and Town tax last year, owing to unusual County demands for the repayment of bonds, was at the high figure of $1,595. ’This year the general tax has dropped to $1,355, a substantial reductton. In dis tricts where this reduction has not been overcome by untisually high dis trict expense, property owners will see a considerable reduction in their tax bills. The Town’s Budget shows the Town to be In exceUent financial condition. There are no short-term borrowings to be repaid. The only bm d ed indebt edness against the Town is $15,000 re maining of fhe large bond issue which the Town had to assume years ago when Route 25 was inquroved by the State through Souttudd Town. The Issue, whkSh was for $60,000, has been retired a t the rate of one $5,000 bond per year. Wew Tiowna have ceme the paat lears^ wHh unusual tn «Mi Rate, $1J55, Town emense.
