According to the report, 43 of the state's '57 counties outside New York City have sales taxes of up to three per cent. Saratoga County is one of the counties yet to impose a sales tax. The sttidy warned that in judging the varying tax rates, one also should consider for each city such factors as the number and quality of services provided, the amount of taxable property per person in the population and other sources of revenue such as city or county sales tax. Park Report Given By DONNA LACQUE Correspondent FORT EDWARD A report on completed work at Mclntyre Park was given by Mayor Charles Mullen at Monday night's Village Board meeting. Work on the park has been terminated for the winter by the contractor, Fleetways Construction of Voorheesville.

In the architect's report, it was noted that clearing and grading has been 100 per cent completed. Sub-drainage, culvert drainage and swales show 80 per cent completion with cobblestones to be placed in the spring. The tennis and basketball courts are 19 per cent finished with the gravel placed and drainage lines underneath the courts. The walk, park area and softball field are 27 per cent complete with final grading to be done in the spring. Seeding, trees and shrub placement is 15 per cent complete with no trees or shrubs planted as yet.

Playground equipment has partially arrived but has not been installed. Sixty-one per cent of the lighting has been installed. There will be three parking areas for the new facility, according- to "Mullen, with one north of the park, one on Wing Street and one across from the park. The mayor wars granted permission by the board to execute an agreement with the New York State Parks and Recreation Commission to extend the completion date of Mclntyre Park from Dec. 31,1976 to Dec.

31,1977. Mayor Mullen pointed out the abnormal number of street lights that have continually been out of order in the village. Police Chief Lawrence Ives advised that the lights have been reported to Niagara Mohawk. The village clerk was directed to inform Niagara Mohawk of the dissatisfaction with the service in replacing the lights. An equipment maintenance contract and personnel matters were considered by the Glens Falls Public Safety Board Monday afternoon.

It was the first meeting conducted in the city under the rules bf the new "sunshine" Freedom of Information law, which restricts to some degree the use of closed executive sessions by municipal bodies. the board would meet beforehand in executive sessions lasting as long as an hour, then meet in public for several minutes to pass resolutions. Those executive sessions dealt primarily with subjects the commissioners held to be too delicate for public airing, such as certain personnel matters. After Monday's public agenda was completed, Mayor Robert J. Cronin asked if there were any matters still allowed for executive sessions that board members wanted to discuss, but got no reply.

The meeting was then adjourned without the board going into an anticipated closed session. Cronin read a letter of gratitude from Police Captain and Mrs. Ralph Emerson, who lost a son in a traffic accident, after which the board passed a resolution of sympathy. Mrs. Charles Maileff, widow of the former police chief, wrote in appreciation of a police sign donated by Hamilton Hoffman in honor of her late husband and placed in front of citv hall.
