Feb. 3 The Islip Town Board held a special meeting yesterday afternoon and reappointed all of the town's dozen policemen for two weeks. The appointments expired yesterday and had the board not acted the town would have been without a police force.

Supervisor Carleton E. Brewster said that the board would go into the matter of permanent appointments at its regular meeting on Feb. 10. It was apparent yesterday that the board, which is evenly divided, three Democrats and three Republicans, is still In a deadlock over the police appointments. The Democrats, it was said, are still standing by the list which Justice of the Peace Frederick Walker submitted at last week's board meeting and which contained the names of six of the present Republican policemen as well as six proposed new Democrats.

The Republicans have not receded from their position announced last week, that while they have no objection to going 50-50 with the Demomrats on the appointments, they do object to having' the Democrats name all the men and reserve the right to choose their own six.

Henry Stammer, Practically the entire staff under Borough President Harvey will ba dismissed next month if Controller Berry and the Board of Estimate continue to defer authorization of local accessible Improvements, Har- vey said today.

In addition to 154 engineers and engineeringa sslstants, whom Har- vey will be forced to drop from the payroll on Friday, 300 more will have to go if authorizations are not granted within 30 days. Salaries of those who will be dropped amount to $30,000 a month. According to Harvey, other Borough Presidents will have to follow his example, with the result that hundreds of city engineers will ba thrown out of work in all boroughs. The salaries of the men to be dropped are charged directly to th taxpayers and are part of the engl-neerlng overhead in the cost for lo cal Improvements paid for by as-essment. Not Budget Charge "These men are paid from as -sessments and every penny they: earn is charged directly to the tax-payers," Harvey said.

"They are not paid out of budget funds, and to continue them at work without reason for charging them against assessments would be an Imposition on the taxpayers. Al- -though the layoff is a temporary one, lt is, nevertheless, a tragedy to the men affected. However, tht taxpayer must be protected. "The entire responsibility rests upon Controller Berry and those members the Board of Estimate who insist that the deferment of local assessable improvements is form of economy. The Queens Borough Chamber of Commerce, the Long island Cham- ber of Commerce and scores of clvlo associations have called upon me to demand an immediate continuation of local assessable improvements.

Fev. 3 Nassau school directors will meet again to night in an effort to assist In the financial crisis the county is said to be facing. Director of the various schools will meet In the High School and reveal proposed amendments to the McKnight bill, which was drafted to aid the county financial status.

Alarm over conditions of the county treasury was expressed last night by H. Stewart McKnight, County Auditor. Need Temporary Belief He told a meeting of school authorities at the Mlneola Courthouse that the proposed bill is needed to divert temporarily school taxes to general purposes. McKnight told the school directors who rallied to protest the bill that the county was in a Dad way financially. He said the bill was drafted to save the county from defaulting on Its tax anticipation notes.

Owed SLSOWM McKnight said the county owed $1,600,000 on such notes but that none of the Nassau Danjcs wouia lend the money. He said that New York bankers had lent the county tl.150.000 "after tedious negotia Hons." Of this amount, he said, the National City Bank had provided (50,000, the Chase National Bank teoo.ooo. McKnight said the county had to nse $175,000 from general funds to heln nav tax anticipation notes, a demand might be made any time on this money, he said. In addition, said Mr. McKnight, there was a payroll of $525,000 due and on March 1 $500,000 in tax anticipation notes would be due.

Banks had offered to lend $2,000,000 for administration expenses, he said, if he could guarantee that the $500,000 tax anticipation notes would not go to Judgment. "But I could give no such guaran tee," said Mr. McKnight Hospitals Affected He did not know where the county was going to get the money It needed, he said, and If it dldn'tget the money It would "go broke." Prisoners would have to he turned out of the Jails, he saia, ana me inmates of the county sanitarium discharged if funds ror their mainte- nanu vera not found. "This bill," he said, "is our only hope. We can't even sell bonds for the new Meadowbrook Hospital, construction of which has been authorized by Ihe voters." Under the existing law the first tax receipts are allotted immediately to the school districts and the Board of Supervisors is the last to get its share of the revenues.

The McKnight bill would apportion tax receipts among various departments as soon as they are received, making none wait till the last to receive anything. Nassau school directors have protested the bill charging that unless they receive the money due them some of the schools will be forced to close March 1. Manhatnet Pretest Manhasset; Feb. 3 Dugald Campbell, member of the Man-hasset-Lakevllle Board of Education, yesterday told the North Hempstead Town Board that unless formal protest Is made by the Nassau Board of Supervisors against Assemblyman Wallace's bill a chaotic condition will arise in the county's school systems. Campbell said that the bill, proposed to pay the school districts 50 percent of their money on collection and the balance as required, might cause the closing of the schools In April.

Williston Park To Bring Back Tax Suits Village Counsel Will Be Authorized to Start Actions During Week Williston Park, L. Feb. 3 Court action to collect more than $10,000 in delinquent taxes due this village will be commenced this week by Counsel Joseph Crooke, acting under the direction of members of the Village Board. Resolutions authorizing the ac tion will be adopted by the Village Board. The action was decided on by the officials as the result of the in ability of Mrs.

William S. Collins to make an immediate payment of al most $6,000, which is due against property owned by the estate of her late husband. Mrs. Collins appeared before the board and asked a further extension of the period allowed to make the payment, de claring that she would be able to pay about $1,500 within a few weeks and that the balance would be forthcoming when she could sell one of the parcels owned by the estate. While some members of the board proposed to call a tax sale so that the money due the village could be collected within a short time, the court action was deemed most advisable.

The taxes due the village, from various properties total $10,292 over a three-year period. Oceanside Junior High Commencement Oceanside. L.

East End Civics Protest Need of Private Patrol Hollis Crest and Other Groups to Ask Police for Better Protection The Hollis Crest Civic and Social Organization has started an lnves tigatlon prompted by recent offers of private home patrol companies to protect the neighborhood. In explaining the attitude of local home owners Alfred Hellert, presi dent of the organization, says the group is not opposed to the private patrol, but "as a civic body we feel we have a right to know why the district should be put to this extra expense."
