Caso Wins Fight
On Duo Controls
Albany, Feb. 26, (Hehn Special) Hempstead Town Super-visor
Ralph G. Caso claimed a victory today after a hour and a
half meeting with state traffic officials to exclude Nassau County
from a State Traffic Commission Regulation requiring new and
expensive dual traffic light installations.
Caso along with Mineola Mayor
Stanley Krausc, President of the Vil-lage
OlFicials Association met in
State Senator Edward Speno's ofl'ice
witli Commissioner of Motor \'e)ii-cles
Williani Hiilts, Cliief Traffic
Engineer Lloyd Macdcr and Traffic
Engineer Edmund J. Burke.
Arguing th:it he was not fully con-vinced
of the n('cessity of installing
dual traffic lights on tlie county aud
village roads, Caso stated that "wliile
he M'US in full agreement with the
c<)nc(M-n of Federal and State Au-tliorities
towards reducing highway
accidents tinough use oF various
safety and visi1)ility devices, he also
felt tliat iudiscrimiuate and evpeusive
installation of dual traffic lights at
every intersection in the county is
completely inflexihlc aud in many
cases, unnecessary." It was estiuuited
that it would cost one aud a ([uartcr
nullion dollars to carry out the
state's program.
After the lengthy discussion, the
state officials agreed that th(>y would
only enforce the regulation to install
dual traffic lights on four lane high-ways,
wliere there are two lanes of
traffic going in opposite directions,
with an additional lane used for
street parldng. Two lane highways

Judge Zelby
Jails Youth
For Speeding In a special session of Lynbrook
Traffic Court last Sunday at 10 a.m.,
Judge Nathan E. Zelby sentenced a
traffic violator to 15 days in jail and
$125 in fines for speeding and pass-ing
red lights in an attempt to out-distance
a pursuing police car.
Shortly after 3 a.m. that morning,
Ptl. James Coan, on motor patrol,
spotted a car driven by Alfonzo
Hilton, 23, of 242 Lawrence Ave.,
Lawrence, apparently speeding west
along Sunrise Ifgw^y.
According to police, Coan radioed
for assistance as he took np th6
chase, wliich turned south at Pen-insula
Blvd. and proceeded througli
Hewlett and Woodmere at speeds of
nearly 100 mph.
At Peninsula Blvd. and Church
St., Woodmere, Coan forccd the
<ar to the curb as two other I^yn-brook
cars and foin* from tla^ 4lh
Nassau County Pet., Hcwlclt, con-verged
on the scene.
Hilton was returned to L^nl^rook
hcaclqnavtcrs where he was held for
court in tlie morning. I'olice Chief
WaUcr Waring said that he had a
record of traffic violations.
With this limitation, it was point-ed
out, teachers who would he in line
for a raise, in many instances would
rcceive about half of tlicir earned
salary increase.
I'^or instance, a teacher with 10
years service in Schedule 1 is cur-rently
receiving $7,600 a year plus
$250 increment. In the proposed
j)ay increase, he would receive $<S,-
000 a year plus a $300 increment,
or a pay increase of $450. Generally,
with 10 years seivice, he woidd have
achieved enough merits to be ad-vanced
to Schedide II which wonld
be an additional $400 pay raise and
if he has a master's degree, he would
also be entitled to an additional
$200. Total pay uicrease should be
$1,050.(K>. However, with the $600
limitation set by tJie board, his pay
increase would only be that amount
($600). To get the actual increase,
the teacher would have to resign,
reapply for a position in Sc-hedule
II and hope he would be accepted.
Although members of the Teach-ers
Association have asked to m(>et
with tlie hoard to discuss tl\e limita-tion,
to date, the board has not
granted a meeting.
'i'lie projiosed jiay increase, with
tlie $600 hmitation, will he diseussed
aud voted upon at the Board's Mareli
meeting. 11 is expected that a iiuiiu
her of parents and taxjiayers w ill bo
l)resent.
