Town of Wappinger
Wappingers Falls, New York
Gentlemen:
The atUched figures are my annual representation
to you of the activities over which I have presided
during the past year, 1972.
You will no doubt note that there has been a signi-
f"icant increase in both cases and income during the past
year. I am not in any position to indicate whether this
increase will hold in 1973, but if increased popUlation
is any criteria, certainly a significant portion of" it
most probably will continue.
The increased number of cases has brought at times,
a severe strain on our physical facilities. There have
been ocassions when a line of people awaiting entrance to
the courtroom extended from the courtroom down the stairs
to street level. Obviously, we are in need of more and
better space f"or the Town Court. There are no facilities
for attorneys to discuss matters with their clients or
with attorneys for the opposition in private, thereby
either compromising their case or delaying its settlement.
It is also difficult to conduct those matters which might
not be carried on in open court on a busy evening because
of the number of attorneys and law enforcement officers who
wish to see the Judge in private.
I hope that you will bear these factors in mind in
your planning for better facilities for Town government.
I

It has come to my attention that there has been
discussion within the official family of the Town, con-
cerning the non-payment of a fine by a defendant in this
court. These discussiomwhich took place with town per-
sonnel, who had no need to be involved, were conducted
in a public place by a town officer who has never discussed
the matter with me, and were completely in error. A re-
view of the attached records and your annual audit, either
by your personal review of the court book; and records, or
by an accountant engaged on behalf of the Town, will show
that all fines and fees due and owing this court, have been
paid.
As always, I stand ready to discuss any of these or
other matters with you gentlemen at your convenience and
have my books ready and available for audit as required
by statute by you or your designated representative.
Respectfully,
/ft/~~cf!~

Gentlemed~
Attac~d are the statements I have been providing
to you over'a number of years as to activities, actions
and cases that I have handled and monies I have collec~
ted during the prior years. You will note a decrease in
the number of vehicle and traffic cases. This decrease
I attribute to a policy of the New York State POlice,
which they refer to as "selective enforcement.! By this,
they mean that they use radar and other devices primarily
in those areas where lower speed zones have been established
and where accidents occur. In prior years, there was a
general type of enforcement of the speeding laws wherein
the enforcement was carried out where greater numbers of
drivers operated, but where the hazards may not have been
as great; such as Route -9 between the Village of'Wappingers
Falls and 'the wappinger-Fiahk1ll Town 11M. whetner tnere
wlll be a cnange in tnds policy 18 open to speCul&~1on,
since I am 1niormed that ~neL~ 1S ~ne pOSS10111~Y ot some
cnange 111 commaDci in tine 8ti&tie Po11ce 10 tine .l. orseeaDle
J.tl.ture. 1. am not ~uppo:.("t1ng, 1n tn:l.S letter, either pOliey,
merely attempting to explain them and their affeots for
your information.
MY attempts to establish a driver improvement clinic in
this area have not as yet been fruitful. The County Traffic
Safety Board has proposed the establishment of a clinic at
what they consider to be a more geographically convenient
location; the Millbrook area. I hope to be able to, with the
aid of the Driver Education Department of the Wappingers
Central School system, have a clinic located in the Western
corridor of the county where the greater popUlation would
find this clinic, I am sure, more convenient.
