It is not a pleasant thing to watch the seniors grow old Mrs Reuss ' understands and cares more than I I can tell This administration has put a heavy burden on a lot of Senior Citizens that have to pinch every penny to make ends meet and they go hungry doing that During the administration of Herbert Hoover the Republicans had a saying that prosperty was just around the corner, two cars in every garage and a chicken in every pot I voted for Hoover in 1928 I was a proud Republican voting the first time at the age of 25 Before I voted, my boss that I worked for on the New York Central said 'Bill you are making a big mistake voting for Hoover'. I would not listen, I voted for Hoover anyhow The Republicans informed the public that if they voted for the Democrats and put Al Smith in the White House that the Pope would be over to rule the United States I fell for it hook, line and sinker That was one of my first political mistakes. I said that I would not make that mistake f Again I did m*'have to The Republicans matte it for me. They put two of the worst things into office we ever had. Why does he have to have extra two homes to live in. one in Florida and the other in California Is there not enough room for him and his family in the White House or does it take all that room for his bugging tlpes It could be that he needs more room to entertain Bebe Reboush and feed him on beef steak, that the Senior Citizens should have, at the tax payers expense Every time that Nixon takes the plane trip to and from the Capitol to California it costs the government $6,000 Nixon is not alone using the airplane that belongs to the United States Government.

I would also think the Mayor could apply some form of consistency to his thinking, by saying \If you don't wish to enforce the village and state laws then why have these laws on the books\ The Mayor also reminds me of ihe kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar so far as the dog .. ordinance is concerned. Mayor , Pastizzo has stated many times in executive session that he felt the village should have a village law controlling dogs. He in- formed the village trustees about his many letters, phone calls and complaints received by him He requested the Board vf Trustees to authorize a public hearing after submitting copies \of dog ordinances from other villages and towns A hearing was held — and attended by somewhere between 35 and 45 persons. Strong opinions were heard from both sides Most board members did not voice an opinion — pro or con — a? this hearing since our job was to hear the opinions of those a?tending The hearing did not reflect individual Board mem bers opinions on the subject At no nme have I. lor instance, expressed my final opinion on Jhis subject either pro or con The Mayor has made his affirmative known Jo ihe trustees, at least At one point during the hearing, I telt obligated ro try to correct an impression held by some, equating 'he Boards authorizing a hearing with the Boards ac-. cep'ance of the ordinance In response to a question as to who i»n 'he Board owns a dog° I replied I didn't and tor the very good reason that one of mv children. unfort unatle> is allergic to man> animals, one of which is dogs I also ask for suggestions outside of an or dinance. io be made to Board •members - »hen or later - thai might solve an\ problems discussed a' 'his meeting I had -hen, and have had since, mixed leelings <»n this mtttter. Although the Board could have voted — at ihe next official meeting — after the public hearing for an ordinance, the Board felt ihe Public should vote on ihis issue 1 concurred vurh .this decision In the discussion surrounding »his issue, I also stated that a vote should be held as soon as possible following fhe public hearing as set by voting tegulaiions I also said then and do so now. that all candidates for Village office should not be burdened, whether they be pro. con or neutral by the emotional thinking involved with this issue I believe there are many im- portant issues pertaining to problems this Village has that could not properly be put on an elect ion ballot At the same time 1 could not understand the Mayor leaping on Glen Miller's estimate of $300 - $500 to prepare for and conduct this vote, as a plausible reason to postpone ^action the better part of a year from the public hearing — particularly since he pushed so hard for the trustees to authorize the public hearing I guess Mayor Pastiz- zo's antenna had been giving him fhe wrong signals when he : nought everyone wanted the ordinance and now he wants to push it as far away as possible. I suppose if rhe trustees had decided to vote on this law rather than allowing the people the opportunity to vote for or against it, Mayor Pastizzo would have been all set No doubt if the Board had voted and he saw the decision was popular he would have whipped J out his bowing suit all cleaned and pressed. l( rhe decision arrived at. were unpopular, he could bring out his trusty tape recorder loaded with boo's and hisses. In any event, I fail to see how he has arrived at the conclusion Jha? the vote in March would affect me. Since he doesn't know what my position is on the sub- ject . and he doesn't know who the candidates will be any more than I do. I always thought the can- didates were chosen just before • he elections af the party caucus — not by the Mayor All of this is a long way from 'he alleged zoning violation perpetrated m the village, but the Mavor. as is his style, is trying to \Dazzle ihem with Footwork\ Keep it up Tony, the Trustees will do the hard work and make the »ough decisions .

It was pointed out that the system pays $300 a year to the North Country School Study Gjuncil and. should it be con- solidated with the Central New- York Study Council, cost would be raised to $675 00 a year However, it was further ex- plained, the consolidation would qualify the school for 79 percent BOCE?S aid. thus lowering the acfual cost to $142 75 a year This co-serve program. Netto said, would not eliminate or diminish the staff of either council but. rather, increase services The board expressed the opinion that this should be pur- sued and. in the event of con- solidation the school should take advantage ot it Reports on the progress and payments due on construction jprojects were received According fo reports from Donald Comp'o. professional engineer $1,257.29 is due no* on his contract for $18.630 95. of which $17 373 66 has been paid The $1,257 29 due will have subtracted from it a 20 percnet n-fainer cost Percentages of receipt of materials and completion of labor by Algonquin Construction Company general contractor, were ouilined as follows Ear ifhw.rk and seeding 95 percent complete paving and curbs 30 percent complete storm sewers and headwalls 100 percent cumple't* removal and demolition 10f ( percent com pU*e concre'e ana rr.asonrv 100 pere»Tr corr.plete carpentry u>. 1 p'-rcrr,? corr.pje't hardware and miscellaneous metal.* 9r> percent complete pass and dazing 10\ percent com pie* e hollow mfaJ u ,rk- 9 n percent corr*r/!ete replacement v* nd-w^ 8 r ^rcent compute >uspe:-ded JO\ percen* compie f e '9r> ptTcerr corr.plm lath plaster and ^ypvurr, }(• percent com- jplfr and :C* percent completion • »n lock'rv and ber,che< Ttif \otai contract auarded *o A;c nqjir. *«yaiied $:T~ S32 «ind S.•.\•» K?J i< due 'hem r>>u minus a '»t» pert er.! re*air.er i M>rr.p^e*ynr. <>i w rk or <\e< ' r . ai * v v-c-rr.s t \ Harr-r, > ¥. eVT.i ^ ^,x re;» .red as :*oik\>>* - H r^ li* 1 ptrcc,' >'*z* li^r.pi ~aer * if ;+~;eT.' ar.G r*. ,a% * 1^,* •. »a k •' r-.a'er.a! t.re a a-rr.* 9^ ^-'cer* • *r F'a'f-* a!* ard .a Payment was approved for both Harron and (lompu, wi»b payment fo Algonquin subject to a future inspection and signature by Compo, Clerk of the Works, before (he issuance of a check. In other business, Superin- tendent Netto was asked by the Hoard to pursue the possibility of obtaining a film designed to acquaint new board members with their responsibilities and also obtaining workbooks, both of which were used at recent workshops Netto reported he would pursue the matter with the North Country School Study Council and also consider the possibility of hosting a workshop here with invitations to tth«r area board members to attend. Approval was given to the <fouverneur firemen to use the high school auditorium for their annual Halloween movie on Tuesday. Oct 30 During the course of his report to the board, Superintendent Netto reported on the Bethesda Bible Center, located on the Hurley Road in Macomb Counteracting rumors that the center constitutes a commune, Netto described it as a school whose purpose, as quoted from a document issued by the center, is \to teach children the truths of God and to pattern their lives after the Redemptive Work of Christ.\ In addition to biblical study, Netto said, the school has curricula closely resembling those used in the Gouverneur School System, and also has courses with topics ranging from quilting, crocheting, dyeing, identification of nuts, soap- making and other practical and nature crafts which, he said, add to ihe subjects of home economics, vocational training, and industrial arts The construction of the school and its materials are all in good order.\ he said, \and the school is applying for a charter through Attorney Jack Scordo of Watertown.\ Netto explained further that teachers at the school are currently certified in other states and have applied for New York Stafe certification.
