Propositions No. I II III That a recent ISew York State Controllers Audit revealed the foUotving: FIXED ASSETS “Inventories of fixed assets were not taken annually. Equipment was not iden tified by means of numerical tags or decals”. USE OF TRUST MONIES “During 1972/73 and 1973/74 monies primarily consisting of em ployees payroll withholdings were transferred to and expended for general fund purposes. These monies were returned during subsequent fiscal years.” FEDERAL FUNDS “During the period examined the School District did not file final expen diture reports for various projects. Failure to file such reports could result in loss of such funds.” \ STATE AID CLAIM-TRANSPORTATION “The examination of the records and documents in support of the claims filed by the district for state aid for transportation indicated that amounts totaling $8,268.50 for the period 1971/72 were not eligible for reimbursement, the details of which have been presented to the Board of Education for review.” That the Board of Regents Chancellor, Theodore M. Black, a keynote speaker at the Nassau/ Suffolk School Board Association said, ''the taxpayer must he convinced that schools are pro ducing citizens 'well versed in the basic skills' and that 'we in education have been so enamor ed of innovation that we have neglected the fundamentals — reading, writing and arithmetic. THEREFORE, WE RECOMMEND: 1. That the revised budget, Propo.sition JNo. 1 be Voted down. 2. We urge all eligible voters, who are qualified, by being registered (or either General Elections OR School District No. 5 Elections to come out and vote on June 22, 1976 at Southold High School. 3. VOTE NO on the budget and the '‘Fidjlic Be Damned” attitude of the Board. PAID FOR AND SPONSORED BY SOUTHOLD . PECONIC CIVIC ASSOCIATION Southold M o n a M c C a rthy 765-3425 Board Considering Expanded Fire District Little opposition surfaced at a Riverhead public hearing June 15, to a plan the town is considering that would extend the Riverhead fire district to include three fire pro tection areas. The three areas, Roanoke, Aquebogue and Calverton, currently get protection from River head by contract, and at an average tax cost of 27 cents per SI00 of assessed valuation. If the areas are incorporated into the Riverhead district, that tax rate will rise, and the $1.01 per $100 assessed valua tion residents within the current Riverhead district pay could drop. Supervisor Allen Smith said the town was considering the fire district expansion on the recommendation of a Riverhead firefighters committee. That committee, after a study this year, said the protection districts should either pay more for their contract with the Riverhead Fire Department or be included in River- h e a d ’s fire district. Smith also' explained Riverhead fire fighters had veto power over whether they would continue to cover the three areas if they remained as protection districts. Such a veto, he said, could leave the areas without fire protec tion. About one third of fire calls the Riverhead department gets come from those areas. Those calls. Smith said, are harder for the Riverhead department to respond to, both because they are further away and sometimes off town water lines. The department maintains a tanker and brush truck used almost exclusively in the protection districts. Site Plans The board approved an application from Carin Enterprises to make a minor expansion of the Carving Board Restaurant on Route 25, but stipulated Carin must continue to lease an adjacent piece of property to remain within the bounds of the town’s parking schedule. The board also granted a request from Burger King Corporation to install a drive-in window at the Burger King Restau rant on Route 58, but, noting the restaurant’s intention to modify its signs, included a letter warning no new signs of the Burger King variety are permitted in the town. The letter added, however, that the board might consider a proposed new sign if it met the approval of Vision, Incorporated, an architectural group that is working with the town to improve its appearance, particularly along Main Street. Smith also told the Burger King operator, who was at the meeting, ‘‘lower your sign, Mr. Burger King, much lower.” The board denied a third site plan for a new shopping center in Wading River because of exit and entrance problem s along Route 25. That application is expected to come before the town again when the problem is ironed out.
