.^ilai .\. Williaius is a strong candi¬ date, lie i.s il sound conservativt business i^'.-in who has lived and con ducted a feed business in Kreeiiorl fui- twenty years. He was iuo.mi success¬ ful in busines.s, an i-ertainly would be as a trustee. He has the time to de- voi-t^' to the duties, and is pr(>i)ared to t;ive tne villaJse the benetit .of an ex¬ perience founded on honesty, fair deaiiim and uprightness.
H. Dimon Sniilli an<l Krank Seaman will make a clean sweep.
.luslice Klinl is one of the most painstaking and impartial officials that ever admini,^red the duties. A vote for him assures etiuitat.le treat¬ ment.
Supervisor Hiram K. SmUh, when called upon to speak ot "County rioads" al tho Uockville Centre Bus! Bess Men',") Dinner last Tuesday even inK gave a most interesting compila¬ tion of figures which showed conclus¬ ively tha* the financial condition of the town and eounty was excellent. Whatever increase there is in the cost of administration is resulUint of Ihe additional costs of election under the new State law.s, iind the increasod cost of niaintiiining the Overseer of th(^ '-'oor departmenls. The fact that the t;',\ rale for the lust yi-iir is six¬ teen cents less Ihiiii ir.v i)i-evi(jus is mosl convincing.
"The assessfil Viiluation of the Town of Henipslr-ad, said Mr. Smith, ¦'is about ?(;<;,000,0i)0, and according to a decision of the .\ppellHte Division we are only assi'ssed for about fifty per ciuu. of real value. In the City ot New York assessments are boosted lo full value in order ti^' more mon¬ ey may be obtained by bunded in- UebtedneKs. The total bonded in- debliuliiess of the Town of Hemp- t;tead Is only vbout $.119,000, of which $29;!,000 is represented by old mac¬ adam road bonds due in 192;i, Since those bonds were sol the only bonded indebtedness incurred by the town Is $;'0,000 for t'le town lilmshouse. of which $1000 liiis l)een retired.
"The town h-'.s $r).''.0.000 invested, on which it Is rec.MVing interest of .S u-1 per cent. Our meadow lands have been variously estimated, and iwrhaps fairly so. fro'ii one to ten millions, so I do not think W(< are so liadlf off. The great trouble with taxation is that localities theiuselves pile up the burden. Twenty-oi.ght school \'slricts in the town have a bonded indebtedness of $1,500,000. Kive villages have adit ional bonded Indebtedness of $.-.')0.000. One district with an assesed valuation of $l>.000,- OOO has a bonded indebtedness ot $104,000.
'Tie bonded indebtedness of the County of Nassau Is about $2,6fi5.000 [Jased upon New York's ideas of as¬ sessed valuation the lounty could bor¬ row $30,000,000 on bonds. Of the bonded indebtedness $1,000,000 was handed to this county by Queens County when Nassau County was formed. The county is far from be ing bankrupt."
