Jim was born 1909 in New York
City, living in the " Hells " s Kit­chen"

A question raised during the public participation
portion of Monday night's Board of Education meeting
revealed the board has requested Superintendent of
School William A. Kinzler to study the possibility of
cutting an additional one million dollars out of the
present year's school budget.
Jack Kramer of North
Massapequa asked the question
of the board, based on a rumor he
had heard. Board President
Robert Weiss confirmed that the
board had directed the
superintendent to look into the
possibility of such a cut and
reporting back to the boards
finance committee.
Kramer said his concern was
whether such a cut from the
already approved budget would
be breaking faith with the
Committee for the Resubmission
of the Budget, who petitioned the
board to submit the complete
second defeated budget to the
third vote on which it was passed
by the public.
Weiss said that he personally
thought it would not be possible to
trim one million dollars out of the
present operating budget
because of various contract
commitments, such as class
sizes, but would wait for the
superintendent's report.

such a cut to an already
publically approved budget,
