In June approximately 95 seniors will graduate from high school. This represents those eligible! In Septem­ber they will have to be replaced by at least 163 youngsters who are now in the sixth grade. With a little squeezing maybe it can be done; if not the only other solution-is double sessions. "

Elec t r ica l^JEnt t^ua^ Board Reappoints Most

iaIF mt

At a "meeting of the Kirkland Taxpayers Association last week attention was given to the matter of broad­ening the base of local taxation to give much needed relief to property taxes. This • was -a continuation .of an effort" started sonie time ago both locally and in other sections of the Country. This was carried a step, further when the School Board went on record Mon­day as favoring a sales tax with the .receipts, to be

•- used only for school assistance. Still further inpetus is expected if the Taxpayers Association goes-ahead with its intention of.presenting petitions to the town board.

The Fat is again in the fire. All af the resolutions and petitions will be presented to Harry Converse

-who'will be asked to relay them to the County Board of Supervisors for immediate action. From what you can read below, "immediate action" on the county -level may well be a pipe dream, but as the town has

been told by many people,'there is-nothing to lose in trying: " ^ - * ,

Perhaps when the village fathers meet1 this evening, they can add their weight' tQ this movement by also , asking the township to carry the ball arid perhaps"" start-a county-wide effort that will result in positive action. .

Kirkland, Clinton and the Clinton School Board will not be able to carry the day by. themselves. Other communities must join in the fight and Lord knows nearly everyone in Oneida County is having financial trials that coujd be aided rhaterially by adoption of a sales tax as the first step to overall tax reform.

In 195.8 The Courier went- on- record as favoring sales tax enactment. This was reiterated on March 3 of last year. It's good to have~company.

r- The Treadmill Ride

Last week, alt in one Board of Supervisors meeting, charges were made that a letter to die, county directly affecting a board, decision" was never tnade known to committee or-supervisors; a technicality caused an already late meeting to recess, and the unsuccessful fight over getting a resolution out of committee resulted "in a frustrated afternoon;, a. roll-call vote was asked-for-a-resolution~»JOJ under consideration-by a__ Supervisor who attention was not on the business at hand; the County Attorney took considerable time to clarify a couple "of rules; approval was given to a rcsolution-which was not understood by several super­visors; and the meeting Whs adjourned by the chair­man in spite of the fact several supervisors were anxious to dispose of important matters. <

The practice of calling the County meetings at 2:30 gets more ridulo'us all the time. It NEVER gets underway bcfore~flbrj'u"t'"4 o'clock and last week crtough . wrangling anxTconfuscd. oratory went on to render a stack of business 'leftover" for the next session (yes­terday) when Chairman Harold V. Kirch suddonly called "adjourned," at about 5:50 p.m.

Harry G. Converse, Ways & Means Committee Chairman, had two important motions that got ho * where. Incumbent, Democrat G. Carl Morse was scheduled to be renamed to the Election Board, the WKTV. cameras were itchy at the prolonged delay. They bacf him reading the resolution putting him in the job so they could use the film on the news later in the day — that appointment resolution never got attention cither. #' ,"~ .

The County Attorney was called on fot opinions on two rules, the effort being that of Russell Williams to get a vote on a $5,000 job appointment that day.

^iTiis was the cause of the long delay, and the Attorney gave little indication of being able to give a decision without some hedging and "it would seem so" com­ments. It is most disappointing that the reliable cut- . and-dricd' legal opinions seem to have been ffcfcctcd by association with the Sapcrvisors' confusion.

On one resolution Democrat Sam Vatalaro Called for roll-lc lavotc, only to find out he was not paving

V

attention, and, when he rose to" discuss die "no vote" he originally had intended to register, he was hooted down_for discussing the wrong -motion! "v"''7

Another interesting thing happened at the session. A resolution on highway maintenance was introduced.

' Several Supervisors asked what the resolution meant, what the."Statement".for $790,000 referred tcrin die

^-resolution encompassed and generally said they didn't quite understand the motion. T)id it matter? Not much, as there was no explanation, so they shrugged theif-shoulders and unanimous approval was given.

Some time ago one supervisor, suggested diat it is about time some "serious thought" go into" the problem of taxes in Oneida County. An admission indicating he was interested in some government reform and cut­back of- needless expenditures but was unable to find the proper place to begin institudng efficiency and economy in Oneida County. His remarks were loaded with a mass indictment of the Board of Supervisors-

for the disgraceTul waste of time at board meetings which seems to parallel a similar waste of county money.

The good ^ intcntioncd s/ipcryisors cannot blame everything on the "antiquated form of government" without doing more to reorganize the County offices; they cannot continue to squirm over political appoint­ments for jobs piying less than $5,000 while ignoring the $18,000,000 budget which the taxpayers cry about; they cannot continue to call meetings each week, spend the entire time arguing and caucusing and expect to improve" the sad situation in Oneida County government.

The weight of several civic organizations, the re­commendations at local and State levels for reorgani­zation and' change in Oneida County's ponderous procedures have received mostly lip service, and wc believe the controversial Committee on Reorganiza­tion appointed bv Mr. Kirch will function effectively only when it can find a little harmony and can con­solidate its aims. But for now the headless monster which is County Government Continues the treadmill ride.

. VE-C- : — = -.. .Overloading at the electrical

entrance to the high school, a test on emergency lighting, tying the Marvin Street School •fire-alarm into the answering, service and mention of a pro-, pbsed electronics school in the Firsts Supervisory District were all discussed at the January meeting of the school board on Monday. Maintenance "Engineer Walter Williams^ also repo'rted a break-in at the old Clark Mills School and "an increase in plow-

' mg costs in the Mills. r. . AtThe November board meet ing"^Ir. Williams was authorized -

-to"contact the Niagara Mohawk' Power Company:seeking a sur­veyj)f the electrical entrance at the high school. Board member Austin Bell and Electrician Ian .MacLeod had both agreed with Mr. Wiliams." that the leads seemed overly hot and might be overloaded. An examination by the^power company proved" that this suspician was correct arid they recommended larger lines, which could be brought., in. through existing cables.

Suggests Survey • Before any work is actually

authorized, Niagara' Mohawk ..suggested a survey of all wiring - iri'.the building. Over the' past

several years facilities have -been added and ,lighting im­

proved to the point where the . 30-year-old entrance is ho long­

e r adequate and Mr. Williams has sought, through Architect-Myron Jordan, costs of a survey to determine what'other action " rnight. be needed, ""To date he has received no such estimate, but wanted the

- board to know that changeTwill" haVe to be made to insure suffi­cient and safe electrical power in the buildirig. He will report < further on this as soon as fig­ures are available.

Costs of tying in the fire alarm system at Marvin Street with the Ulysses Answering Sendee in order that fire alarms can be

turned in without "delay would amount to $4.25 per month plus S50 for the initial connections, Mr. Williams reported. -The board feels that the present outside bell is inadequate, and, working on a recommendation from Clinton.Fire Chief Wil­fred Goering, authorized Mr. Williams to proceed with the installation through the New York Telephone Company.

Emergency Light

Mrs. Rockwell reported on in­stallation of an emergency light in* t h e halway at t h e high school. This will be activated In case of power failure and has been recommended by the State.

Jn use during the evening. • A suggestion was approved for the installation of lights on the west side pf the high school building at a cost of SJ50. Mr. Williams, Mr. Bell and Princi­pal John Karin all agreed that this area, now without lights of any kind, seems to be a con­gregating point for potential trouble makers.
