Mr Grier believes that to broad en the tax base, New Castle must attract desirable industry and build values and taxes into its business area. He says that he has re peatedly but to no avail, sought the designation of a special citi zen's committee to attract suitable industry. In the business districts, Mr. Grier feels that the Master Plan should be followed, with the pro vision of off-street parking as the essential first step. He said that the question of providing adequate off-street parking was a prime issue in the election two years ago, and the town is no further along now than then. \If any thing,\ he states, \we have retro gressed.\ Seeks a Capital Budget Pointing out that improvement of town facilities, with certain ex ceptions has been allowed to lag far behind population growth, Mr. Grier feels that what is promptly needed is a capital budget, an in ventory of what must be done and what it will cost, together with a schedule of priorities so that the work may progress efficiently and economically and in relation to the taxpayers' ability and willing ness to pay. He said, \this has been talked of for years. It must be gotten on with at once.\ Councilman Grier advocates the town's former policy of \pay-as- you-go\ which was broken in the 1959 Town Budget when it was decided to finance the purchase of highway equipment over a three year period. He states, \interest for three years on $20,000 on a declining balance basis is not much lo perhaps that is why I alone on tht Town Board opposed this break With past policy. The fact remains that \peeiaute\ have a way of ac cumulating so that, with the excep tion of major items to be included in a capital budget. I shall con tinue to stand for 'pay-as-you-go \ Among many other things which Mr. Grier seeks, is the appoint ment of a \Little Hoover Com mission\ to review the operations of the town government He said. \I neither suspect nor know of wa9te or inefficiency, but having in mind that for 25-jears we have had supervisors two lawyers and a caterer. I think a hard look at our operations bv three or four experienced businessmen cannot fail to be of value \Although the tax rate will suf fer.\ Mr Grier says, \ompldyeo efficiency and morale and simple justice require upward revision of wage rates f >r town employees The policy for years has been to pay the going late as evidenced by neighboring communities. More over we have felt that we should take the initiative and that we should not compel our town em ployees to come to us hat in hand. Recently however we have no ad justment even though living costs have increased almost 10 per cent within two years and/even though to take the Police as xmc example we are now paying some $900 a man less than the Parkway Po lice.\ Bank President Elected To United Fund Board Wacondu Indians Seen on Television Program in New York Four of Ihe famed Waconda In dians of Fox Lane School, Ewe Bagnato, Jerry Wile.

Police said* the truck was westbound on Stamford Rd. and the other vehicle was north- b6und on Pound Ridge Rd. at the time of the collision. Leaflets Cause Many To Express Disapproval Of Parking Law A Chappaqua commuter's\ at tempt to put a burr under some one's tail\ by distributing leaflets in the station area urging com muters to attend Tuesday night's public hearing on a proposed park ing ordinance certainly proved successful as more than 100 resi dents turned out to voice stern disapproval of the ordinance which was designed to charge a parking fee at the railroad station for both local and non-local com muters. Opening the meeting by lashing out against the persons responsi ble for the leaflets, Supervisor Arthur L. Green said the main pur pose of his^atement was because or \the effort made by an anony mous person to confuse and de ceive the public regarding a prob lem which every member of the board is trying to solve with ut most sincerity. He said the leaflet falsified the possible parking charge discussed at the last public meeting and thought that it might have been politically inspired. Writer Confesses Toward the end of the hearing a resident rose and said 1 , \I want to make it emphatically clear that I am a registered Republican and a commuter.\ However, he said that he wanted to confess writing and distributing the leaflets in the sta tion plaza. Robert Collins of Pond Hill Rd. said he wrote the leaflet because \we were told that unless there were plenty of people here tonight, you guys (the Town Board) would pass the ordinance and we do not want that ordi nance.\ In the leaflet. Mr. Collins had said that the board would \ram the ordinance down our throats.\ The parking ordinance was pro posed to pay for the railroad sta tion, which was purchased from the New York Central Railroad for $25,000. and for paving and ex panding the parking area. This School TV Possibility After A BOCES Study Educational TV in the Chappa qua schools became a possibility when the Board' of Education of District. 4. at its regular meeting Tuesday night at the Robert E. Bell School, voted to request BOC ES (Board of Cooperative Educa tional Services) to propose a plan for studying such TV use by schools in the supervisory district. Included would be detailed infor mation as to who would make the study, what methods would be used. etc. The vote was taken aft er discussion of a suggestion by the Town Club that BOCES make a study of educational TV for the Board. The suggestion was made in a letter to the Board signed by Town Club President Alfred C. Haemer Jr. Also discussed at the meeting was a proposal by Dr. Donald W. Miles, principal of Horace Greel ey High School, that classroom periods at the 'high school be in creased., by one next year \for-st total - ql eight periods of 43 min utes each from Monday through Thursday, and 40 minutes each onj Friday. The school day would con sist of seven teaching periods and one activity period at the end, and would be from 8:05 a.m. to .2:55 p m. from Monday through Thurs day and to 1:56 p.m. on Friday. A typical schedule. Dr. Miles said, would include five academic per iods, gym, study hall and activity period, plus a 30-minute lunch per iod Early dismissal on Fridays has been customary for several years because bus transportation to the three schools has lengthened the school day. In answer to a question as to what would constitute an \ideal\ school day, Dr. Miles described one of seven instructional periods of 45 minutes, ending at 2:15 p.m., followed by an activity period and athletics However, he commented, bussing pupils at three different times in the afternoon would be a problem and an expense. The Board approved a summer reading program for selected stu dents in grades four through 11 who could be expected to improve vocabulary and comprehension thereby. Only 50 students can be accommodated, and parents would pay a $10 fee for the program which will run from June 24 through July 29. Parents will be notified if the program is to be offered to their children, and are asked not to accept if a child will n^.t bo in attendance for the full period. Probationary appointment was approved for Charles Hatfield, to teach junior high school French starting at the fifth step on the B schedule ($6,300).

He is a gradu ate of Springfield College, and has taught in the high schools at Wor cester. Vt , Holden, Mass. Hast- ings-on-Hudson and at Worcester Academy. A shift in appointment status from substitute to regular was approved for Warren Lazelle Jr., appointed April 28. He will teach scence at the high, school. Thomas Morris was appointed to teach junior high school science, beginning at step 7 on the B sched ule ($6,'9\00)-. He has a bachelor's degree from New .York University, a.master's degree from Teacher's College of Columbia University, and- also 1 - studied, at Corhell and the University of Chicago.* He has taught at the Buckley School and at McBurney School, and is cur rently teaching in the junior high school at Great Neck, L, I.

J. Leave of absence for the school year 1959-60 was granted to Mrs. Penny Weller. of the Roaring Brook School staff Miss Helen Robertson, presently on leave to teach in Japan, has resigned in order to stay there for another year. Announcement\ was made that three Chappaqua teachers have been awarded National Science Foundation Fellowships for this summer- Chester Bosworth of the Bell School will study Advanced Chemistry at the University of Maeyland; David Johnson of the Bell School will work in the field of Advanced Mathematics at Car le on College; and James- Ander son of Horace Greeley will study mathematics and chemistry at Sa rah Lawrence College. The Board accepted with regret the resignation of Decio Zingoni, who has served for 25 years and is presently head custodian at Robert E. Bell School. President of the Board Ellio t Bliss was author ized to write a letter of apprecia tion for long and faithful service. would also cost about $25,000, ac cording to Supervisor Green. The parking fees would also pay for operating the station and for polic ing the parking lot. The original parking ordinance proposed by the board proposed that residents and non-residents pay the same parking fee. Park ing stickers would have been $9.75 a quarter, or $39 a year. Parking meters for occasional commuters would have been 25 cents for 10 hours. Supervisor Green said that the board was considering some changes. He said he didn't think anyone would object to a charge of $5 a quarter or $20 a year. He added that he thought a $10 per quarter charge for non-residents was reasonable. He emphasized that he was not suggesting meters in any other place in New Castle. The board went into executive ses sion immediately after the hear ing to give the ordinance further consideration. Two Separate Itms Several residents expressed the opinion that two separate items were involved and that it would be discriminat'ng to charge the commuter for both. One item was the purchase of the station while the other constituted paving and expanding of the parking lot. No one at the meeting spoke in favor of paving or improving the lot. Alfred Haemer. president of the New Castle Town Club said that his organization believes there is \no legal, moral or practical basis for charging the relatively few peo ple for a project of interest to most of the town.\ Mr. Haemer said that if the board did decide to charge for parking, the club's parking' com mittee had these suggestions: A maximum charge of $10 per year per family for New Castle resi dents, a $9.75 per quarter charge for non-residents, and a charge of 25 or £0 cents for one-day park ing. Several West End residents said that it was difficult to see how they could benefit from an im provement at the station and that it should be paid for by those who use the facilities of the station. William Grier, the lone Demo crat on* the board, is the only member opposed to the parking Charge. He has given several rea sons for his opposition in the past. Tuesday night, he explained that after the station and the parking area were paid for, the funds col lected from parking would go for general town improvements. He said he didn't think it was right to charge a few for general town improvements and termed it \hid den taxation.\ Mr. Green said that the or dinance is subject to a \permis sive referendum\ if a petition is signed by five per cent of the res idents who voted in New Castle's last election.
