municipal board resignation prompts call to abolish village boards
A local editorial argues the Irvington Municipal Board has effectively abolished itself through resignations. It notes repeated creation of separate water, sewer, and park boards over twenty years and urges consolidating authority under a single village board or a commissioner of public works to coordinate all departments. The street commissioner is praised as a ready candidate for central management.

Town Board Revises Budget to Bring Out in 1983 Tax
Greenburgh town officials revised the 1958 budget at a Tuesday Lyceum Building meeting in Tarrytown. The plan lowers the overall tax rate to 89 cents per thousand in the villages and raises only six cents in the unincorporated area, with several staff cuts and expense reductions balancing the surplus from foreclosed real estate sales. Supervisor Duell and Clerk Van Dorn led the session, eliminating new positions, delaying wage boosts, and trimming department needs including a stenographer and billing machine, while reallocating funds to reduce the town-wide tax levy to about 41 dollars per thousand of assessed value.
