It was learned that Ernest Gil-son
of 64 Powell Place, Farming-dale
who is recovering from an
illness, came out to vote in the
Primaries.
In the contest between insurgent
John McFadden ( not a Conserva­tive)
and organization candidate
Carl Gruenwald for the Town of
Oyster Bay Councilman candidad-cy
on the Republican ticket; Gruen­wald
won with a Town of Oy­ster
Bay total of 11,586 to 3,034.
In Farmingdale: Gruenwald re­ceived
868 to McFadden's 233;

in Bethpage: 1252 to 418. Mc­Fadden

Park with a beating of about
2 1/ 2 to 1; in Massapequa it was
3 1/ 4 to 1; in Bethpage 3 to 1
and in Farmingdale 3 1/ 2 to 1.
McFadden was the only ' in­surgent'
candidate to come to the
Four Seasons, in Westbury, where
the Republican final results were
being tallied by TOB Republican
Leader C. Bruce Pearsall. He
spoke before the crowd pledging
his support to the Regular Repu­blican
organization, but stated that
being from Scotland, he was a
' rebel' at heart if the issues were
at stake.
" Today's returns prove con­clusively
that there is no room in
the political dialogue of suburbia
for those who would foster fear
and suspicion." said Assemblyman
Edwin J. Fehrenbach.
'' I take these results as a man­date
to continue fighting for im­proved
educational opprotunity for
the young people of our burgeon­ing
suburbs without crushing tax
burdens imposed upon the
shoulders of the average homeown-
My record in this struggle is the
most important credential for re­election
which I intend to bring
before every voter in the Fourth
Assembly District.''
' To the Republican committee­men
of Oyster Bay; to our Pri­mary
Chairman Ed Bracken; to my
good friend, Town Chairman Bruce
Pearsall; and to County Chairman
Joe Carlino I want to express
my deepest appreciation for their
confidence and support^'

School District # 22 taxpayers will be paying a
slightly lower school-* library- tax rate than anti­cipated
next year due to the higher than antici­pated
assessed valuation. The tax rate was offi­cially
set last Wednesday night at $ 6,783 per $ 100
of assessed valuation for the Town of Oyster Bay
sector of the District and $ 10,412 for the Town
of Babylon sector of the District. The rate esti­mated
had been: $ 6.77 and $ 10.45 respectively.
However the 1962- 63 rate will
be slightly higher than the 1961-
62 rate which was in Oyster Bay:
$ 6.45 and slightly lower than
Babylon's last . year rate of,$ 10.49.
The amount of assessed valua­tion
in the Oyster Bay sector is
$ 63,542,915 and $ 11,264,276 in the
Babylon sector. Farmingdale
School District tax rate is al­ways
set later than other school
districts within Nassau County due
to the overlapping into Suffolk
County- where assessed valuations
are compiled at a later date.
Of the $ 6,748 figure of the Town
of Oyster Bay; $ 6,364 represents
school tax; .275 represents libra­ry
tax and .099 represents Youth
Council tax; in the Town of Baby­lon
figure of $ 10.412-$ 9.835 is
for schools; .423 for library;
.154 is for Youth CounciL In dol­lars
and cents Babylon residents
do* not pay any more than Town
of Oyster Bay residents- since the
assessments on real estate are
proportionately lower.
