Erie County Pays State Education Aid Splits Across Districts
The Erie County treasurer received a seven figure education aid payment from New York State totaling 2,255,048. Lancaster Public School District No. 8 gets 26,211, Depew 36,380 and Cheektowaga 27,982, boosting county total to 4,750,216, up 265,578 from 1933. Township projects in Lancaster approved include Plumbottom Creek cleaning and a new 18 inch storm sewer on Ellicott road at an estimated 9,404, creating emergency jobs. Water use rose sharply in March from 280,000 to 501,000 gallons due to two leaks on Aurora Street and near Prospect and Bond avenues, now repaired. Three orchestras are booked for the Legion-Moose Spring Carnival April 26–28: Ange Maggio’s Crystal Beach Orchestra, Pep Cole, and The Night Owls.
