Street, Water Equipment Angles Cited in Statement Binghomton Press Bureau
Oneonta—Donald M. Comfort, who has announced that he is "willing" to be Republican mayoralty candidate, yesterday released a statement of his stand on seven "civic matters."
Included is a suggestion that the city sponsor a bond issue to cover "specific needs." The estimated "10-year cost of a $1,000,000 bond issue," he said, "figures about $5 per $1,000 assessed valuation."
"The city, in order to rebuild the long-neglected streets, water filtration facilities and other municipal equipment, must mortgage itself to accomplish these aims," his statement read. 'BOND ISSUE, BUT . . .»
"This bond issue should be made to cover specific needs, but be made with the thought that at the time a new school is erected, the ciy must undergo further financing by bonds." .
Mr. Comfort said his two-page statement, delivered to the press, was made as "an individual, not as an official spokesman for the Republican Party."
He said yesterday that he had discussed his candidacy with James R. Mead, chairman of the Republican City Committee, but had received no official word of the committee's decision. AWAITS DECISION
Asked if the statement meant that he was definitely a candidate, Mr. Comfort replied: "I would not say I am a candidate until the committee gives its decision."
Other excerpts from Mr. Comfort's statement: * W S ^ A L p ? L I C Y ~ " I H s of no great Importance that our city be 'debt-free if we must continually have patched-up streets, patched-up equipment, an outdated, outmoded fire alarm system, and attempt to pay for these costly patch jobs out of current income."
SCHOOLS — "Wholehearted support and encouragement should be given to the school board in its plans to eliminate the potential death-trap that each of our ward school represents. *The costly upkeep on these buildings should cease at the earliest possible moment."
PLAYGROUNDS—"Every part of the city should have proper playground facilities available at all times. No one section of the city should have to organize itself in order to obtain or maintain a playground for its children."
ADMINISTRATION — "The safety commission should be encouraged to make specific recommendations to the City Council for a setup whereby the police and fire departments would have ratings and salaries commensurate with the responsibilities pertaining thereto."
"Department heads should be charged with the full responsibility of their respective departments, being answerable^to the city commission having jurisdiction over the department."
GENERAL — "Definite steps should be taken to undertake a program whereby the (fire) department could be relocated to a more strategic spot."
. . The • city needs a realignment of the ward boundaries so that a more equal representation can be offered the citizens of Oneonta."
"More centrally located voting facilities should be made available. . . . The people of a ward should have a centrally located polling place, not one located in the edge of the ward."
REMARKS—"The present administration has not been entirely wrong on every matter that it has handled, nor has it seemingly always had the best interest of the city in mind. There has never been a perfect administration, and chances are that there never will be."
New Jersey Trouble Watched
Syracuse—(fFy-Some dairy leaders predict a New Jersey milk price war will spread to New York and may vvtwk the "whotemtle price structure wide open."
Industry spokesmen said yesterday. they feared a general three-cents-a-quart retail price cut that went into effect in New Jersey today would Jump to New York City.
Any price, slashing in New York City, some leaders added flatly, would be followed by similar cuts throughout the state.
Farm cooperative leaders, who declined to be quoted by name, speculated that a "price war could crack the New York Milkshed wholesale price structure wide open."
The retail price dropped to 18 cents in most New Jersey stores and to 17 cents in some. Fred Kaminows, secretary of the New Jersey Food Merchants' Association said a milk surplus caused the price reduction.
2 CONCERNS COMMITTED Meanwhile, New York dairy
leaders watched the New Jersey situation.
They pointed out that Borden's and Sheffield—New York's "big two" were committed in the Jersey price fight.
These sources expressed fear that pressure from New York City consumers could extend the price competition into this state.
The "big two"—and the Dell-wood Dairy Co. of Yonkers, which also operates in New Jersey—were reported as ready to join in the threatened price cutting, by dairy leaders who completed yesterday a tour of Northern New York farms and milk stations. The tour was arranged by C. J. Blanford, metropolitan New York milk marketing administrator.
Sheffield cut prices by one cent last week in northern New Jersey. SPREAD IS FEARED
Borden and Sheffield representatives on the upstate tour declined comment on the possible price war. U. S. Agriculture Department representatives also were non-committal.
Other dairy leaders, however, predicted that any retail price-paring in New York City would spread upstate.
Spokesmen* said independent dealers probably could "weather the fight" in Jersey but "might suffer ruinous losses if the cutting spread to the New York market."
They said they would watch the effect of the New Jersey battle on the Dellwood firm. v
E. O. Mather, Dellwood president, commented: "when things get bitter, we'll be there."
