Acting on orders from the State
Department of Health, the Village
Boa*d has engaged tlie Baldwin &
Cornelius Co., Inc., Village En-
.gineers, to make a survey and
prepare engineering plans for sew-ers
in the southern part of the
village. The survey is to be made
at a cost not to exceed $7,600.
As no .funds for this work were
available, it will be necessary to
borrow money on certificates of
Indebtedness to meet, the expense
and include the amount in the
1942-43 budget.
Tills action is the aftermath of
a movement started by the Nas-sau
County Department of Health
last year. Early in the summer
charges of failing to maintain
proper sanitary disposal facilities
were made by the Nassau Health
authorities against restaurateurs
and private individuals owning
property on Woodcleft ave., and

When 6he matter reached the

sewers. Funds for the survey were
Included in the 1941-42- budget but
were eliminated at Uhe last min-ute.
Village Counsel Samuel M.
Levy advised the board and
health authorities Chat the only
way the work could be undertaken
this year under the circumstances
was for the Nassau Health Board
to take the matter "to-trie State
health officials, .and-for the latter
to rule that the necessity of mak-
.ing the Purvey was imperative.
The Nassau board adopted such
resolutions on....Nov,...31,_ last,. and
they we.re approved by the stjite
board on Nov. 29. Health Com-missioner

Village
To Raise Salaries
Boord Won't Compete
With Defense Pay
Mayor Worden E. Winne has ad-vised
the village employees, that
though it has been called to the
attention of the Village Board
that some of them are consider-ing
terminating their employment
to take positions in defense indus-tries,
where their remuneration
would be higher than they are re-ceiving,
the Board cannot raise
salaries to retain their services.
The notice sent to employees
reads as follows:

H. Ratner conducted the quiz.
The president, the Rev. David G.
Jaxheimer. was judge of the con-
Board's attention that some of the
Village employees are considering
terminating their employment In
order to obtain positions in defense
industries where the present re-muneration
may be considerably
greater "than they receive from the
Village.
"The Board fully appreciates
that in some instances it cannot,
compete with such industries in
the matter of salaries, but in line
with its past policy of giving the
taxpayers of the Village an eco-nomical
government, and in order
to prevent, if possible, any further
increases in Village taxes, it will
not attempt to raise salaries so as
to be on a parity with defense
industries.
'The Board realizes that from
time to time during the emergency
it may be necessary to make the
sacrifice of losing some employees
who have been employed by the
Village for some time. Unfortu-nately,
.under the circumstances, it
is_not in__a position at present to
do anything to prevent * this."
