' The money that they have earned thru Bingo has• bought equipment , which they . have been able to provide mutual aid throughout the township . Neptune Hose feels that the • proposal of $ 3 , 000. 00 is a good gesture , but they would like the Board to consider another $ 3 or $ 4 , 000 . 00 so that they are not penalized so much . They are $ 7 , 500 . 00 in debt right now-. There was considerable discussion . Supv Cotterill = if the fire contracts are not changed the firetax . rate will be about $1 . 67 per thousand .

The Village taxpayers are assessed as part of their tax rate for this service , and yet there is no snow removal done with town equipment in the Village . They feel that this is a basic inequality that they should have to pay for that when state law provided by statue that they be exempted from that . They maintain the streets : . at their own expense within the Village . The Village feels that they do not get any service for the dollars that they spend on snow removal . /0 / Supv Cotterill - felt that the Town is contributing in other ways to the Village that has not been charged for .

They have sent the plans in , and they have the States permission back , They have a security bond ' and the - approval for the entrance . He gave the Board members a copy of the bond . The State has bad their engineers survey the area and have given . them the permit . There was some discussion and Mr Shippy wondered what else the Board wanted . All the Board was requiring was a report from a licensed engineer to state whether or not Rt 13 can handle that amount of traffic in this specific area . Mr Shippy — they are willing to give the Town Board the same kind of report . that Mr Morse has given the Board . . There was some discussion to put money in the budget for services of a Professional to help with zoning changes that might have to be done .
