BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1932 L. I. 25 Lively Reports of News Events in Nassau, Suffolk and Queens Schools Refuse To Accept Cut As Nassau Aid Reject Terms of Bill Drafted to Assist County During Crisis Hempstead, L. Feb. 9-Expressing the sentiment of their respective boards of education, 42 schoolmen last night voted 25 to 17 denying motion of indorsement of the Wallace bill, at a meeting held for that purpose at the high school here.

The motion which would have set the stamp of approval of Nassau County school boards to the bill and its proposed amendment was favorably received only by Hempstead districts with a majority of two. The bill, with the amendment which was suggested last week, seeks distribution of the payment by the county of school taxes. It would permit the county, which is declared to be in financial straits, to pay 75 percent of the school taxes in April, instead of the usual 100 percent. and to use a sum equal to the remaining 25 percent until July, when it would be repaid to the schools from taxes received. Another motion adopted by the meeting provides that a committee which conferred with the supervisors last week present the rules of the vote to the proper authorities, with the request that the legislation be withdrawn.

It was also pointed out that under the current proposal the necessary borrowing on the part of both county and schools would be reduced only about $200,000, believed negligible, compared to the 000 involved. On a motion by John H. Scott of Rockville Centre, a committee of five will be appointed Friday by J. T. P.

Calkins, chairman, which will attempt to reach a practical opinion on the matter. Favored by McKnight The Wallace bill for changing the time of tax moneys was introduced last week at the request of County Treasurer H.
