4 Allotments;
Explained
When not a voice was
against the proposed village bud*
get for the fiscal year 1943-44 At
the hearing Friday night, the
Villas? Board immediately made
It the official budget. The budget
totals $619,200.12, which reduced
$124.979.99 by estimated receipts
•leaves $404,220.13 to be raised by
taxation. The tax rate will be
$1.33 on each $100 of aasesssd
valuation. "which is three cents
more than for the year just
closed.
Mayor Clinton M. Flint ex-plained
that the members of the
board had done all in their power
to reduce the budget as low as
possible. He said a citizen's com-mittee
had assisted in drafting
agreed the . estimate
was the lowest that could be of-fer
d with safety.
"I don't believe In cuUIng
down to the bone and then find
you haven't money enough to run
Ithe village on," he said. "I be-lieve
we have as reasonable ^
budget as can be arrived at. And
I want to thank those who as-
Eistr<l In preparing the same."
The Mnyor addgd Lhnt, but for
two items it would have been
popsibl ' to have reduced the tax
rate To $1.27. One of these was
$12,8?H.52 in payment of war
smcrgency loans made last year
and the other was to cover % 10
percent jqcrease bi saJarJes for
the majority of village employees.
Involving about $24,000.
There also was an increase In <
the allowance for the purchase
of chlorine and chemicala for 43ie
water department for which $10,-
875 was allowed compared with
$5,000 a year ago, an irureass of
$5,875. Items for the mainte-nance,
repairs and equipment of
trucks In the Police and Sanita-tion
Departments also were In-creased
considerably and^another
was $3,200 for autos and equip-ment
in the police department
for which nothing was allowed
last yea?. There was a similar
item of $2,500 in the Incinerator
budget.
Despite these increases the
board was able to pare down
grants in the various departments
enough to effect considerable sav-ings.
It added $14,500 to antici-pated
receipts from other sources
than taxation which helped to
reduce the net budget.
George E. VanNostrand and
George W. Bishop were among
those who expressed satisfaction
with tha budget. There were rep-resentations
from several groups
that had sat in during the prepa-ration
of the figures, but they did
not take any part in the discus-sion.
Mr. VanNostraTid asKe3""wTiy"lt
waif "HTAt'o'niy' $ 1 '.440 6 f" fhe'$3,000
salaries paid to the mayor and
trustees was included in the btid-
Horace F. Carpenter ex-olained
that the $1,440 represent-rd
40 percent, and that of the
balance 10 percent was charged
o the Water Department and
$50 to the Power Plant.
Dog Cotcher Colled
To Round Up Conines
Do? owners would do well to
keep Qielr canines at home for
the next few days at least If they
want to keep them.
Edmund C. O'Meally complain-ed
to the Village Board at its
meeting Friday nigbt that the
number of stray dogr?tn»"rge wns
larger than in the past. He said
they would be a menace to Vic-tory
gardens and to chickens, If
people were ..permitted to keep
them, and asked the board to do
something about It.
WHliam J. Schneider suggested
that the dog catcher be called in.
Mayor Clinton M. Flint there-upon
Instructed Village Clerk
William J. Marvin to write to the
Town Dog Catcher asking him to
come to Freeport to round up the
stray animals.

Starting out With an unofficial?
goal of $540,000, which would have
entitled the village to have a mo-tor
torpedo boat named in its
honor, the village exceeded that
amount By $700,000. "So instead
of a torpedo boat, a submarine
chaser costing $1,000,000 will be
called Freeport.
The $540,000 gcr.1 was selected
because the committee did not
want to go out on a limb. Dur-prr

Freeport gales totaled $700.451. so
the half-million quota seemed to
be a reasonable one. In the pre-vious
drive the original gonl was
but $250,000. Consequently, the
village exceeded tta self-imposed
quota at that time by slightly
more than 180 per cent. Two
heavy bombers have been named
as a tribute to the achievement
of the village at that time.
This time the $540,000 was cho-sen
because it would have entitled

to Dog Catcher Roepcr last Fri-day
as follows:
"In discussing Victory gardens
at a meeting of the Board of
Trustees of this Village held on
April *3. thp matter of dogs nm-ning
at large was considered by
several of those interested in
these gardens as a serious menace,
to the proper development of
gardn plots.
"The Mnyor instructed me to
communicate with you regarding
this situation, and T presume that
the only way that the nuisance
of dogs running at large can be
reduced would be that you visit
our Village on more frequent oc-casions
than in the past.
"We probably have to consider.
however, the dog owners, who
m almost every instance arc lov-ers
of animals and it is my
thought that the normal waiting

be extended so that any--owner
