Many Bethpage residents wno
reside in the Plainedge District
as well as some Farmingdale res­idents
who pay taxes to District
# 18 are busily thinking ahead to
March 17 and the referendum for
school expansion proposed by the
Plainedge Board of Education.
After five successive defeats,
the majority of residents are hope­ful
this year of passage even though
it means getting 2/ 3 " yes" vote.
The costs will not be added to
the real estate tax since the con­struction
falls under State Educa­tion,
Law # 3603c and the District
will receive 100% State Aid.
The referendum calls for:
a. 14 rooms added to the Robert
E. Picken School Building
b. 14 rooms added to the Schwart-ing
School Building
c. 11 rooms added to the John H.
West School Building.
In addition, a second Junior High
School building appropriately lo­cated
and constructed on the Bald­win
Drive site to house students
in grades 7 to 9 to accommodate
1,000 or more students.
The cost for the new Junior
High School and the elementary
additions, if approved, will not be
prohibitive. There will be no in­crease
in tax rate to meet costs
of construction, since these costs

lower than the taxes paid

keep down Village taxes is of
paramount improtance partic­ularly
