Voters to Decide Continued from page 1 , Oils section Pearson of Maple Street , Medford , buyer and personnel, and Samuel Siegel of 221 North Prospect Ave- nue , Patchogue , druggist , both for Mr. Hughes ' seat; and Raymond Zaharatos of 24 Woodside Avenue , Patchogue , a supervisor at Repu- blic Aviation Corporation , for Mr. Silhan ' s position. Mr. Scutari is unopposed. Dr. Joseph Lifschitz of Bay Avenue , Patchogue , a dentist , is unopposed for reelection to his five-year Library Board seat. The North Patchogue Civic As- sociation has endorsed two of its members , Mr. Scutari and Mr. Hughes , and Mr. Geignetter was given a vote of confidence by the group. The latter has also won the endorsement of the Medford Tax- payers Association. Mr. Ruse has won the endorsement of the Eagl e Estates Civic Association of Med- ford , its executive board announc- ed. Final sections of the fiscal 1960 - 61 school budget were adopted recently, and the proposed budget , which totals $3 , 167,862 , show s a tax reduction of nine cents per $100 of assessed valuation—$8.12 this year as compared to $8.21 last year. The ' budget includes a teacher- salary adjustment , raising the bachelor ' s degree schedule from $4 ,600 to $4 ,700, increasing to $7 , 400 in 12 years. This schedule is a modification of the existing salary scale with higher adjustments in the yearly- steps for the experienced teachers. The schedule is designed to reward the dedicated and experienced teacher and to provide a scale comparable to surrounding dis- tricts and to insure continued growth in the teacher ' s academic standing, a board spokesman said. The salary adjustment was made possible by planned econo- mies and the increase in state aid. Propositions Listed The propositions are listed along with the brief explanations by the board as follows : Proposition 1: Fiscal budget der scribed above. Proposition 2: The library bud* get of $88, 290 is increased by $8 , - 070 over last year ' s figure of $80 , 220. The library rate is in- creased $.03 per one hundred mak- ing the combined estimated 1960- 61 tax rate $8.56 to $8.62 for last year ' s , a total of $1 , 712 , 907 to be raised by local taxes. Proposition 3: Transportation. This proposal is necessary to transfe r funds in the amount of $7 , 500 from present unexpended funds to the transportation bud- get. The present funds will be de- pleted by the beginning of June and a curtailed program would go into effect if this fund trans- fer is not approved. Proposition 4: To replace the present antiquated hot air fur- naces at Bav Avenue with a new steam boiler. The furnaces date back to 1909 and the metal covers that trap the coal gas have been repaired many times during the years. It is the recommendation of fire and safety engineers , the building superintendent and mem- bers of the Board of Education that these hot air furnaces be re- placed this year to eliminate the possibility of a disaster. Proposition 5: Provides for kin- dergarten space at the River Ave- nue -School. At present one class of kindergarten students attends classes in a rented hall. The board proposes purchasing the property bordering the north line of the River Avenue .property known as the Perry property. It is approxi- mately 74 x ' 2 A 0 and inc ' ui ' . es a two-story house that will be reno- vated to accommoda ' e the kinder- garten class. The building will also be used for district offices. Also , the acquisition of additional prop- erty is required by the state to make any future expansion at the River Avenue School. Proposition 6: The board pro- poses to purchase a narcel of land located on Oregon , Greenoort and Pennsylvania Avenues in Medford. Large parcels of land situated in an area of possible expansion are getting scarce and the cost of property is going up each year. This piece of property is centrally located and would effect future savings in transportation costs. Proposition 7: Proposed ele- mentary school , is a two story, three unit school with 18 class- rooms , two kindergartens, library, gymnasium , cafeteria , and princi- pal' s office. Proposition 8: The state has ordered all school districts to hold a hearing on the proposed state telephone tax. The tax esnnot be levied bv the state unlpss it is approved by a vote representing a majority ' of the students in the county. All action on this proposition will be null and void if the Fed- eral tax is reinstated on July 1, I960 . Proposition 9: Library trustee election , described earlier in story. Proposition 10: School board elections, described earlier. Tn urging that the Barton Ave- nue Elementary School proposit- ion be given a favorable vote , the board pointed out that there are f!77 students in the third and fifth grades on double sessions. The approval of this school will eliminate this problem immediat- ely and make a reduction in bus costs , it was added. The board continued: \The question of time is cru - cial in this proposition. Failure to approve this project May 4 will force the next voting on this pro- ject to a time after July 1 when this district is affected by revi- sions in the Emergency Building Law. The new revisions will ne- cessitate a larger bond issue be- fore the district can qualify for assistance . Getting approval prior to July 1 as can be done if the project is voted on May 4 will give the district the advantage of the old requirements for getting in the benefits of the law and will place the district within these same benefits for the future . \Total cost of the building has been estimated at $!»50 , 000. The cost of bond and interest pay- ments for this project will not ex- ceed present debt expenditures that are already in force in the district. This aid for building ' is made possible through the Emer- gency Building Law (Sec. 3603c). \Structural design was the re- sults of a committee of laymen all of whom are authorities on con- struction. These men working with the Board of -Education made sug- gestions for maximum economy of construction , but employing m aterials of durability and attrac- tiveness. A two story building was decided upon after considerable discussion of several architectura l designs. \The building will contain two kindergarte n rooms and eighteen elementary grade classrooms. In addition there will be a teacherB * room and a principal' s office. An art room and library will be in- cluded. A single station gymnas- ium and a cafeteria-general pur- pose room will be separated by a double access stage similar to the arrangement now in use in the Tremont Avenue School. Kit- chen and lunch serving facilities will adjoin the cafeteria. Addition- al rooms will be available for the use of special instructional staff members. \The school will be situated on the property to allow for future expansion and all the utilities have been p laced in a convenient location with this in mind , \ the board concluded. Bayport-Blue Point School dist- rict taxpayers will vote at the annual meeting Tuesday to fill four seats on the Board of Educa- tion. There is a contest for one of the vacancies. Incumbent Frederick W. Merdes of 197 Seaman Avenue , Rayport , will run to succeed himself for n three-year term. He had been opposed b y Mrs. Marylyn J. Schra- der of 22 Roylan Lane, Blue Point but she withdrew from the race Tuesday. Robert W. Mantha of 191 Paul- ana Avenue , Bayport and Robert M. Brown of 26 Division Avenue , Blue Point , are contesting for the neat of William Knapp of Rlue I' oint Avenue. Mr. Knapp said he will not run for reelection because he will be unable to devote \ ad- equate time \ to the board. Paige A. Moore of 138 Gillette Avenue , Bayport , will run unop- posed for reelection to a three- year term. Howard J. Kallmann of 223 Snedecor Avenue , Bayport , appointed by the board upon the resignation of Edward S. Srm 't will run unopposed for a two-year term, the remainder of Mr. Smith' s term of office. Voters at the annual meeting, which will be held at the new Bayport-Blue Point High School , will also consider a proposed bud- get for 1960-61 of $1 , 449 , 563. an increase of approximately $35 , 000 over 1959-60. Because of increased estimated receipts , h owever , in- cluding available funds not spent this year , the amount to be raised by taxation would be less than in the current year. The balance to be raised by local taxes is $588,697 compared to $59r , 853 raised this year. Also to be passed on is a pro- position to spend up to $18 , 000 for the construction of a corridor joining the new high school and the old high school buildings , lo- cated on the west side of Snede- cor Avenue , Bayport . The corri- dor , which would be about 40 feet long, will enable children to travel between the two buildings without being exposed to cold or inclement weather. It is also ex- pected that the corridor will re- tain heat in both buildings during the winter. Central School District 5 Sachem Sachem Central School District 5 will hold its annual . general meeting at 8 p. m. Tuesday at Sachem Junior- S e n i o r High School , Lake Ronkonkoma , for the purpose of acting upon the esti- m ated expenses for the 19C0-61 school year. The following day, May 4 , the election for the an- nual budget will be held at the same place. At this time voters will be called- upon to also elect three members to the board of education as well as to vote upon three propositions. The May 4 election will be from 12 noon until 9 p. m. in the school gymnasium. The tentative budget for the school vear is $2 ,735, 977. The sum of $1 , 642 , 466 may be expected from state aid , leaving a total of $1 ,093 , 511 to be raised by taxation. The tax rate •will be lower this year even though there is an in- crease of 511 pupils enrolled, making it necessary to hire ' 16% new teachers, also more custodial cafeteria and office help with the opening of the new Nokomis Ele- mentary School in September. According to the Sachem Cen- tral School s Budget Bulletin , Sa- ch em residents in Brookhaven Township mav expect a tax rate drop from $8.53 to $8.15; Islip Township residents may expect a rate drop from $7.24 to $5.98 and Smithtown residents may expect a rate drop from $5.56 to 5.27. Running for reelection as mem - bers of the hoard of education are Francis Hugelmeyer and Ar- thur Bahnmuller for five-year term s , and Alfred Steiger for a one-vear term. Fred Meagher has filed a petition of nomination to run against Mr. Bahnmuller. This is Mr. Meagher ' s second attempt to gain a seat , on the board of education. Last year he ran against John Pediaich and was de- cisively defeated. The following three propositions will also he voted upon : 1 Pur- chase of the Vetter property on Portion Road for the sum of $72 , 000 from unexpended balance in 1959-60. The property has 40 acre s , and buildings. 2. Vote on construction equi pment and site development of a 1 , 000 pupil ju- nior high school for a sum not to exceed $2 , 358,000 to be built on site referred to in Proposition 1 if said site acquisition is ap- proved. 3. Purchase of two school buses at a sum not to exceed $15 , 000 from unexpended balance for 1959-60. A copy of the proposed budget may be obtained by any taxpayer in the district during the seven days immediately preceding the annual meeting except Saturday. Sunday or holiday at each of the following schoolhouses; Gatelot Avenue School , Lake Ronkonkoma 8 a. m. to 4 p. m.; Grundy Ave- nue School , Holbrook , 8 a. m. to 4 p. m.; Lynwood Avenue School Farmingville , 8 p. m. to 4 p. in. Persons who registered at the an- nual meeting in May, 1959 or at subsequent registration dates are not required to register again to vote on May 4. Persons wishing to check on whether or not they are registered may call JUnipeY 5-8363 or may phone the regis- tration board , ROnkonkoma 9- 2010 , while it is in session. Actual registration , however , must be done in person . A preliminary hearing on the budget proposals was held Mon- day night with some 25-30 resi- dents attending. At it , Eric Dall- nier of Holtsville objected to the proposed spending of $20 , 000 ear- marked for the Ronkonkoma Li- brary under fixed charges. He maintained that this should have been submitted to _ the voters as a separate proposition. In view of his protest it was agreed to refer the matter to the regular meeting of the Board of Education, scheduled for the following- night , Tuesday. There , the question was taken up extensively with the board indica- ting that it had consulted with District Superintendent of Schools Walter M. Ormsby of Patchogue. Mr. Ormsby said he felt that the library item under objection was indeed loosely worded , probably due to faulty drafting of the original several years ago. Never- theless , it was his opinion , and also that of the members of the Board of Education , that the resi- dents of Sachem should be the final judges at the May 4 elec- tion. They were in complete agre - ement that the voice of the people should be the deciding factor. If they want the library item made into a separate propositi on then they would make that voice known , it was stated . Ccntercach-Sclden District Middle Country Central School District 11 (Centereach-Selden ) will take a budget proposal of $3 , 308 , 340 before the voters May 4. If adopted by the electorate , it is estimated that the new budget mav well have the effect of re- ducing the present tax rate by 10 cents. This would cause the ex- isting tax of $8.9 5 per $100 of assessed valuation to drop to one of $8.85. Four main propositions are to be decided by referendum ballot. They concern the purchase of an additional 10 acres of land for the Bievcle Path School at a cost of $30 , 000; the buying of three new school buses not to exceed $24 , 000; the authorization to spend an additional $9 , 935 for recreation purposes , and also permission to disburse $20 , 000 for May and June transportati on . It is proposed to finance these items by raising a tax levy upon existing school dis- trict property. School Board candidates tin for election are : Arthur Rindfleish , running unopposed; Peter Curcio , also unopposed , and lastly. Dr. George Hillman , who is faced by two opponents , Mrs. Anne Marie Hampton of West Court Drive and Charles Bailey of Norman Drive , both Centereach residents. All residents of School District 11 intending to vote on May 4 are again reminded that they must be registered to do so. the final registration day is today from 2 until 8 p. m. at the following locations: Residents of Election District No. 1 do so at the Unitv Drive School , Centereach , while those living within Election Dist- rict No. 2 should register at the Bicycle Path School , Selden. Ronkonkoma Voting on the annual budget expenditure for the 1960-61 Union Free School District 11 , Ronkon- koma , will take place at 8 p. m. Tuesday. It will be held at the Johnson Avenue-Sycamore Street schoolhouse. The proposed bud- get totals $421 , 393 .24 , and copies of it arc now available at the schoolhouse between 9 a. m. and 3 p. m. The following two propositions will also be voted upon : 1. Shall the allotment for the capital out- lav account in the 1959-60 approv- ed budget be increased $13 , 923.50 by authorizing the board of edu- cation to transfe r such sum from the existing surplus account to such capita l outlay account and al- locating such sum as follows: Im- provement of ground $5 , 000; fur- niture, instructional and other equipment $4 , 500; other expenses of capital outlay $2 , 423.50; library hooks $2 , 000 ? 2. Shall the sum of $4 , 500 be deducted from the instructional services account of the 1959-60 approved budget and transferred to the l!) \ i9-60 cap ital account and allocating such sum as follows: Furniture instructional and other equipment $3 , 000; other expenditures of capital outlay $1 , 500 ?
