Section 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
  raise money therefor by tax in the same manner as other  county  charges
  are  levied  and  collected. The boards may appropriate such moneys to a
  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.
