§ 840. Memorial day in Nassau and Suffolk counties. The board of

supervisors of the counties of Nassau and Suffolk may each appropriate

annually an amount not to exceed two hundred dollars for the purpose of

defraying the expenses of the proper observance of Memorial or

Decoration day at the Long Island National Cemetery, Pinelawn, New York,

and such observance is hereby declared a county purpose. The boards may

committee of several veterans' (or other patriotic) organizations as may

be determined by the boards, which shall be known as "The Long Island

National Cemetery Memorial Committee" and such moneys shall be used and

expended by such committee for the proper observance of such day, and in

such event the head of such committee, and the disbursing officer

thereof, shall file a report thereof with each of the said boards not

later than thirty days after the observance of Memorial or Decoration

day, showing the money received from each county pursuant to this

provision of law and the vouchers for the disbursement thereof.
