In evaluating my retirement income, I have found that this position would cause me-a. substantial loss'. My Social Security and compagy retirement have placed me in a bracket where after com- puting, a few dollars more would represent a loss in my veteran,xs pension of much more than this position would pay. I have just recently been able to determine these figures.

Lean Nassivera briefed on the Certiorari Proceedings and discussed pertinent assess- ment matters relating thereto. Thereafter the supervisor expressed his appreciation to Mr. Nassivera on behalf of himself and the B'owr,� for coming to the meeting and making a report. Mr• Nassivera also discussed with the Board a possibility of making all maps and pictures. in a unitorm. s.ise and putting them is a book. Mr. stiller, Chaim Of, the Election Commi.tto'e, -submitted the fallowing report and reccssmendations REPORT .AND RECGMMEN OS ELECTION '0DWITTEE To the Town Board. This committee recommended at the final meeting of the Board for the year 1964 that the Election Districts of the Town be re-divided. This recommendation was based upon tae-fact that the 1,06©, registration and annual election_ developed what had been known for several years, that several of our present districts were too large both as to area and voters-. Accordingly your committee has given serious study to the problem and wishes to make this report. Such:suggestiona as are made with�.ttmise thoughts in mind; - t 1. To conform- to_ the Election Law in limiting the voter Registra- tion to no_m,Wm_tb a 600 voters in each district. 2. In making the divisions we have. given ,consiAeration to the fact that any distriet,_ ean; be enlarged to 900 voters provided that 2 voting aachiaes are used„ 3, in s. esting the polling places we-have, tried to meet the re. qurements of the. Eleetion Law which, states "that there shall be designated _aa_ polling places UX ex met._property such as schools, churches- and town property. 4. Each new district has been _drawn on the basis of accesibility and_.convenienceo of the voters to.. the. polling, place, keeping in mind. the registration limits .both as to. area and number of voters. 5. Some districts, particular 4 and 7 are 1 r in area and less in registration,-, Consideration here w.a�t` given to the fact that these two districts seem. to have. the. greatest _possibility of growth. 6. Some districts, notably '6, 8 and. 9 seem -to -'show up on the map as limited to growth. These areas are well developed and there is little room for building.. exparls-ion w l&, as sow set up their voting -strength is nearly=to the.600 limit. 7. One basis- of establishing voter population was by actual count of the number of houses in the district and then multiplying by 190 two on the theory that there were two voters in each resid- ence. Another method. emplayed_ was taking the number of water bills sent. oat by each Water Superintendent and mint iplying .that by two. We +believe that the districts as laid out and shown on the attached map iM V drove fair and equitable to all voters and that such division is. in .tshe bast interests W' the Town. me We therefore recommend that the Town Board adopt the,dixa. .;.&A mat, forth in,.rtbj - and the descrip- ive matter reflecting and identif-yiag.`eaach district.
