At laat Friday'H meeting the lioard Toted to raise the aalary of the Coun¬ ty Court Btenographer to $1500 per year, l)«ginnlng June 1.
The Board alno decided to Increase the salary of flve Jailers and tbe un¬ der warden at tbe County Jail from 11100 to 11200 per annum, to take effect on June 1.
A resolution waa passed that Gov¬ ernor Whitman be urged not to ap¬ prove the bill now before him which provides in substance that the lioard make available a County Houpital for tuberculosis patients on or before July 1, 1918. and that on failure or the Board to enter into a contract for the construction for buch a hospital, the State ('omniissloners of Health shall forthwith proceed to locate, con¬ struct and place such a hospital in operation.
It was the sense of the Board that it would be unwise und unjust to the people of the county to undertake the construction of a hospital at this time In view of the demands beiuK made upon the resources of the county for highway purposijs, additions to the jail, extension of the Farm Bureau work, and the auany activities grow¬ ing out of the war situation, not In mention the prohibitive cost of building material and labor. The Board feels that the local authoritieii are the best jiuIkcs as to thi; right time lo build ihe tuberculosis hos¬ pital.
Upon the a|i|)lication of Kufus Smith, of Rockville ("enire, and Ir¬ ving I). Tiinison. of Oceanside, the Board granted permission for the es- tablishiuent of a the district iu Oceanside, which will be contiguous ¦ ith the present firo districts. The application was signed by those who represent more than one half of the taxable real property of the district. The clerk of the Board was In- atructed to invite the County .Iiid.ee. District Attorney, Sheriff, County Controller and Mr. Babcock, ot the N. Y. Telephone Company, to appear before the Board on Friday, .May -I, to discuss the advisability of discon¬ tinuing the police telephone system in the county In accordance with the recommendation flied recently with the Board by County Controller Ben¬ nett. The cost of operating and nialn- Ing the police system at present is about X4000 per year.
The estiinate of Philip .N'. Krus to build a vault in the basement of the Court House for the use of the CJoiin- ty Treasurer's offlce for |370 was ac¬ cepted.
The Board approved the appoint¬ ment of Helen A. Park, of Hemp- atead, as stenographer and clerk at |60 per month to the Nassau County Extermination Commislon, and also the appointment of Jordan Abrams, as assistant inspector for the Conimis¬ sion, al a salary of f7B a month.
The Board on .Monday voted to set aside fI500 for home economic work In t'le couniy, which will be under the supervision of the Farm Bureau. Tbe above sum Is sufficient to carry
on the new work until January 1, 1"»18, tnd will cover the expenses of the expert, that of a stenographer and expenses. The State will contribute jl50 toward tbe work until January I. The expert will give instruction in canning work, home economics and Lygiinc.
Th • action of the County Treaaurer in appointing Stephen P. Pettit as auctioneer, to sell property for delin¬ quent taxes for 191.3 and 1914, and In paying him $400 for the work was ratified by the Board.
Tne lioard voted that the County Superintendent of Highways or the Supervisor be directed, in their judg¬ ment to place silent policemen at the Intersection of such highways within tht rounty as are the main arteries of travel and at the intersection of such other highways upon which the travel Is such as. in their opinion, to jrsfify the use of a silent police¬ man. .'Vll expenses incurred by the officials above named in this way are marii' a county charge, under the rcs- oliitio:) of the Board.
