Raises Opens Against Rabies Spread County Dog Warden Ernest Parker today announced an all-out campaign to enforce the rabies quarantine in Johnson City. Two dogs have been destroyed and their heads submitted for laboratory tests to determine possible infection, he said.

With an assistant, the dog warden will patrol the Johnson City area intensively during the next few days. He said that scores of dog owners were warned yesterday that they must obey the quarantine or face seizure of their pets, "If we can keep the dogs in, we can get rid of the disease," Mr. Parker said. "That's the whole problem, and we're going to see to it that this thing is brought under control." Village police echoed the warning, emphasizing again that changes in the quarantine law now require dogs to be kept confined or on a leash. Putting a muzzle on the dog isn't enough under the revised legislation.

It must be confined, or be subject to seizure.

Centralization Plan Advanced Responsibility Would Be Placed in Single County Unit Reorganization of the welfare administrative structure in Broome County and its 16 towns would be mandatory under reco it- mendations of two committees of the State Association of Public Welfare Officials. The reorganization proposed on a statewide basis is advocated by a majority of the association's executive and legislative commit tees. Their report has gone to two committees of the State Legisla ture Special Committee on So cial Welfare and Relief and the Joint Committee on Interstate Cooperation. The report proposed: ONE Each county would be a social welfare district and the countv Board of Child Welfare would abolished "in order to place complete responsibility for administration in one county unit.

TWO The county department would include any social welfare district excepting cities of less than 100,000 population such as Binghamton which might elect to operate thir own welfare departments upon written approval of the State Board cf Social Welfare. THREE Towns of more than 50.000 population such as Lnion also would continue to operate their own welfare departments with, state p- proval. FOUR The countr commissioner would appoint as deputies, the wel- liire omccrs Dt tuwna tir ciucra nt'v operating their own welfare departments. FIVE These deputies would be the of ficers or commissioners in ortice lor a full year prior to the establishment of the reorganised county unit. SIX Upon the "death, resignation or removal from ortice or sucn a aeput-.

the continuation of the deputysnip wmtlH notional SEVEN Administrative functions ht the county Board of Child Welfare should be transferred to the countr welfare department so that "full advantage" may be taken of federal aid. The proposal would, In effect. create a new county welfare department built around the present county office and clear the wav for a greater centralization or wel fare administration, officials point ed out. la Broome County, the city de partment and the Town of Union could elect to operate tpcir own. departments with state approval.

The 15 other towns oi tne county would be required to adopt the program because their popu lation is insufficient to meei exemption requirements, officials added. The report also pointed to the desirability of increased state aid for all categories of welfare. "If state aid is increased." the report said, "and made applicable to all forms of assistance, the present state charge program should be discontinued except for hospital care for persons in the state less than six months. "Many people from neighboring states come into New York communities to utilize the hospital facilities and become unable to meet the cost. The report urged that "additional state aid be made available for home relief and hospital care when the number of cases and costs increase because of unemployment." County Welfare Commissioner Arlington B.

Thatcher said copies of the proposal were ready for sub- mission to each of the 29 members of the Board of Supervisors. Benefit Planned By Episcopalians Episcopalians of the Endicott area will make a special contribution Sunday for the benefit of U. S. Army and Navy chaplains. The Rev.

In Endicott up Since '40 Tax Rate Increase Kept to 1212; Wage Boosts General Heavy wartime costs and higher municipal wages have driven Endicott operating costs up 46 per cent since 1940. But other factors related to wartime expansion have kept the accompanying tax rate increase to only 12J per cent. The steady gam in the cost of operation of the municipal cor poration, the sharpest as well as the most sustained in the village's history, was attracting general at tention today as the Treasurer's Department prepared for a start of 1945-46 tax collections in June. Endicott's budget in 1940 stood at $582,075.

The municipal budget adopted this week fop the year ending Feb. 28, 1946, amounts to $850,402. The tax rate in 1940 was $12 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. The rate to be levied in June is $13.50. General Pay Increases One of the largest factors in the material gain in operating costs has been general wage increases granted village employes.

Endicott workers have got some form of wage benefit in each of the last five municipal budgets adopted by the Board of Trustees. The resulting pay schedules are thus proportionately higher than those paid in other similarly sized communities, just as private enterprise pay schedules in Endicott are higher than in other localities less alTected by the war boom. Village officials have stressed that the high industrial pay forced the high municipal pay. The principal factor holding taxes down in the face of oper ating cost increases is the large in crease in the community assessed valuation, brought about almost wholly by industrial construction directly attributable to war pro duction, village officials point out $4,000,000 Assessment Gain The valuation gain has amounted to more than $4,000,000 in the last five years, 19 per cent over the former valuation of about Another Important factor has been a sharp increase in state reve nue, particularly from the state- collected corporation franchise tax, which is based on the annual volume of business by corporate en terprises. With industrial produc tion at a speak, income from the franchise tax also has reached a new high.

The table showing Endicott's budget increases since 1940 fol lows: 1940- 41 1941- 42 1942- 43 1943- 44 1944- 45 1945- 46 $582,075 618,203 735,474 781.575 824,638 850.402 The village tax rate rose from $12 to $13 per $1,000 in 1941, remaining at that level until the additional 50-cent increase ordered by the board for the new year.

Lillie, Francis W. Tozer, Raymond C. Barnutn, Lynden E. Yougmans, Anthony Salmon Will Confer With Brees on Drive for Help From State Vestal Central School system. largest in the state, prepared today to play a major role in a statewide demand by central schools for state aid increases to lighten the tax burden on real estate.

Revealing that the State Cen tral School Boards Association, stung into action by a revision of the formula for state aid apportionment which left central schools without any benefit, already has started to mobilize for a legislative attack next year. Vestal Supervising Principal Stephen Salmon said: "New York State's central school organization is considered the most modern and efficient in the whole country. "It was built in rural areas where the tax burden rests on single homes and farms, where there are no big industries to assume a share of the cost. Premise and Promise "It was built on the premise and the promise that central schools would get the special tax consider ation due them as agencies which exist in communities of relatively low assessed valuation. "The recent revision of the Friedsam formula for state aid ap portionment is unjust and unfair in that it has left central schools without consideration in a time of mounting costs and higher sal aries.

Mr. Salmon said he will confer shortly with Assemblyman Orlo M. Brees on a drive for a new apportionment system recognizing central schools when the State Legislature convenes next year. 'Royal Binghamton, Endicott and John son City Schools 'stand to benefit materially by the recent revision of the Friedsam formula, it was pointed out. Central school sys tems in the Triple Cities vicinity are the only systems which do not benefit.

Mr. Salmon today was studying a communication trom btewart Smith, president of the Central School Boards Association, in which Mr. Smith departed from normal pedagogical English1 long enough to remark: "Can you deny that the central schools took a royal rooking on the recent state aid apportionment measure?" The Vestal system Is ready to support any action by the state association to gain consideration next year, Mr. Salmon said. Reply to Critics "Some people," he remarked, "have criticized central school districts for their elaborate school plants.

"It is apt to be forgotten that these elaborate buildings and fa cilities were forced on us by the State Education Department in its drive to make New York State rural schools the finest in the na tion. "But now that we have these elaborate facilities, it is doubly im portant to have the funds with which to support them. We are faced now with the necessity of cutting expenses everywhere we can while other city systems are boosting pay and increasing their expenditures. As nn example of the type of expense common to central dis tricts but not felt by city school systems, Mr. Salmon pointed to Vestal's transportation system.

It is made up of 15 buses which represent an overall investment of nearly $150,000, and the cost of its operation amounts to many thousands of dollars annually.

1 after a lapse of nine months. In the meantime, Airplane Stamps 1, 2 and, 3 will continue valid indefinitely. OP said its announcement now of the validation date for another stamp was made to enable consumers to budget their remaining stamps and to permit the shoe trade to make merchandising plans. This is the first time since rationing- began that a shoe stamp has not been validated each six months. The two-pair-a-year basis was abandoned because of heavy military demands and sharp inroads on retail stocks.

The number of the new stamp was not announced. OPA Makes It Harder To Get Oil Cookers Washington, April 27 The OPA today made it harder to obtain an oil cooking stove. The agency directed local rationing boards to issue purchase certificates only to persons who need to replace oil cooking stoves that had been in use at least six 'months. Previously any person eligible for a cooking stove could obtain a certificate for an oil-burner. The six-month test is designed to prevent persons from acquiring old unusable oil stoves and thereby establishing eligibility for a new one.

Coal and wood stoves are not rationed. The action' applies to the emergency oil shortage area, which includes all' states except Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and parts of California and Florida. Nurses' Class Is Scheduled A refresher course for practical nurses of Broome County-will be given during the last week of May probably at the Binghamton Stale Hospital.

It will be the first time since the adoption of the zoning ordinance in 1940 that an appeal has been taken in the courts, according to Corporation Counsel Richard F. Rath. Mayor Fred Winters and members of the Zoning Board of Appeals today had been served with notices of motion returnable next Friday. Mr. Rath said he was preparing an answer to the allegations made by the petitioner, Mrs.

Harold Kellogg. Rejected by Board Mrs. Kellogg was denied a build ing permit to remodel a structure at 12 Margaret Street, and carried the request to the Zoning Board of Appeals earlier this month. The board rejected her appeal, sustaining Building Inspector James C. Adams in his refusal of the permit.

Similar cases in the past have been appealed to the Board of Trustees, but the current case is the first attempt to overrule the Zoning Board by court action. The case involves a two-story building with a garage on the first floor and a workshop on the sec ond. The building is in the rear of a lot. which also holds a three-family apartment house. Mrs.

Kellogg, the owner, lives at 115 Massa chusetts Avenue. Ground for Refusal Her original request asked per mission to remodel the rear struc ture with two apartments on the second floor. The permit was turned down, Mr. Adams explained, on the grounds that two such dwellings on the single lot would not provide sufficient yard space and would otherwise violate provisions of the zoning ordinance. Mr.

Rath said that the case wfluld not affect the general zoning classification of the area in any way. The petition is aimed only at gaining permission to remodel the specific property involved, he said Mrs. C. M. Iliglcy Named to Office Mrs.
