Tax hikes eyed to fund local needs says Mills
Duryea reported Republican support for the idea in a closed session. Mills endorsed higher state taxes if needed to meet localities needs for state aid, warning that failures could force deep cuts in major local programs. He declined to instruct state lawmakers but urged local government and education leaders to back tax increases ahead of next year’s election.

Insurance firm buys 200 Orange acres near Harriman
Republic National Life Insurance Co of Dallas paid just over 4 million dollars for 200 acres in the Monroe Woodbury Harriman area. The top use for the land is unclear with the spokesman saying no building plans and noting the deal settled other obligations. The purchase borders Melody Lane in Harriman and may include the old T L Bailey Estate. Avon Products recently bought 438 acres nearby for a new plant, but construction isn’t expected to start for a year. Local officials were surprised by the sale and had not heard of it.

Jurist seeks added funds for prompt trial rules
New York Chief Judge Stanley H. Fuld asked state and local officials for 14 million dollars to implement the states prompt trial rules set to begin May 1. The measure requires bail or recognizance for non homicide arrests if not brought to trial within 90 days, and dismissal if more than six months pass. Fuld said civil judges may be reassigned and vacations cut to provide manpower if funds are not approved.
