them. The 5 Hawks, soliciting in
the North Massapequa area,
south of southern state parkway,
had a substitute driver that

right. The Hawks sold out.

rest of the community for their

21,347 Voters
Now Eligible
Completion of % cross- check of
voter registration rolls show
21,347 Farmingdale School
District residents eligible to vote
in today's school budget
referendum. At total of 11,271
persons registered for school
district voting apd an additional
10,076 are registered for general
elections and are now eligible to
vote for the budget.
Since the new state law went
into effect September 1, school
district personnel have been
comparing the voter lists and
checking off names that appear
on both registration rolls so they
are only counted once. Both lists
will be used today at the polls at
Howitt Junior High School, but
the names of registered school
voters will be crossed off the
general election lists.
Being voted on for the second
time today ( Thursday) is the
same $ 28,863,057 school budget
defeated in June, but with a lower
tax rate than anticipated then.
The anticipated tax rate increase
has been reduced by 34 cents in
Oyster Bay and 50 cents in
Babylon.
Under the new 75 cent an­ticipated
increase, the Oyster
Bay taxpayer with a home valued
at $ 6,000 will pay an increase of
$ 45.24 for the year as opposed to a
$ 14.58 increase for an austerity
budget.
Although the transportation
contract has already been ap­proved
by the voters in the June
election and makes up 29 cents of
the anticipated tax increase,
there will be losses in tran­sportation
under austerity.
Dropping buses for athletic
events that are forbidden by
austerity, also prevents those

Music Teachers
Object To Fee
In an open letter to the Board of
Education written to The Post, 29
music teachers of the Far­mingdale
schools formally
protested the implementation of
a music fee on their students for
the use of school instruments.
The music teachers claim the
fee " Is discriminatory, since no
other program X~ z such a fee
imposed, and we feel it is
detrimental to the success of
music education."
The letter to The Post was
signed by all 29 music teachers.
