Colby Blasts
Assembly On
Snow Bill
The inaction by the Assembly
Ways and Means Committee on a
bill to allow municipalities such
as the Town of Oyster Bay to use
bonds to cover the extraordinary
expense of the past winter's snow
control operations will result in a
greater burden being placed on
local taxpayers, according to
Oyster Bay Town Supervisor
Joseph Colby.
" Despite repeated pleas by my
office to the Legislature, while it
was in session, we have
discovered that the bill which
would have renewed the life of
the State policy of. allowing local
municipalities to issue bonds to
cover extraordinary expenses
due to unpredictable amounts of
snow, was allowed to die in
committee," Colby said.

chairman of that committee,

INSPECTION TOUR: Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Colby points to blueprints of the Black
Clawson Solid Waste Recycling Plant currently under construction for the Town of Hempstead. The
Supervisor and Town Councilmen toured the facility and received a detailed explanation of its
operations and capabilities as part of on- going negotiations between the two Towns. The possibility of 30
to 40 per cent of Oyster Bay's refuse being shipped to the Black Clawson plant for recycling, for at least
a five year period, is currently under serious consideration. Involved in the tour are [ from left] Oyster
Bay Town Councilmen Kenneth S. Diamond, Howard T. Hogan, Jr., Joseph J. Saladino, Supervisor
Colby and Councilmen Salvatore R. Mosca and Gregory W. Carman.

Joseph Colby will be the guest of
honor at the annual dinner/ dance
of the Farmingdale Republican
Committee, which will be held
Friday, Sept. 23, at the
Narragansett Inn, Lindenhurst.
" The dinner dance is the an­nual
occasion the Farmingdale
Republicans use to sptlight the
individual they feel deserves to
be honored for this year," ac­cording
to Farmingdale
Republican Executive Leader C.
Raymond Radigan. " This year
we are honoring a man who
stepped in as Town Supervisor
and has really shown how ef­fectively
local government can
work for the people."
" Beyond his most important
stand against the HUD/ Tri- State
attempt to force low income
housing projects into the
suburbs," Radigan noted, " Colby
has been there time and again to
offer solutions whenever
problems can affect local
residents. He's the first Town
Supervisor to start a serious
study on the housing problems of
our senior citizens and of
married couples. He has
line- by- line budget examination a
daily project at Town Hall so that
everyone cart be looking for ways
to reduce spending. He
already shown us the types of
economies he will bring about.
He's the one who ordered com­pacts
to replace full size Town
vehicles and thus save us money
without reducing services."
Radigan noted that since
taking office in January " Colby is
really making things happen for
the people." He said that in
selecting Colby to be the honored
guest the Farmingdale
Republican Committee was

Flea Market Postponed
has
The scheduled flea market sale
by the Kiwanis Club of Far­mingdale
was postponed last
Saturday because of rain and
threatening weather.
It will be held this Saturday,
Sept. 17th at the Village Green
from 9 a. m. till 6 p. m. unless all
items are sold prior thereto.
The sale is being held for the
benefit of the Farmingdale
Auxiliary Police Unit * 314 and all
proceeds will be donated to this
volunteer group who assist the
Nassau County Police Depart­ment
in patrolling the residential
and business areas of Far­mingdale
including the U. F. S. D.
# 22 area.
The theme of the Kiwanis Club
for the year 1977 is " Safeguard
against Crime," and according to
Kiwanis Club President Frank
Piccolo, financial assistance to
the local Auxiliary Police Unit
fits in perfectly with such theme,
having already made a con­tribution
for the purchase of the
patrol car, which will be
dedicated to the Village of
Farmingdale during the sale.
The funds received will be used
for the purchase of uniforms and

Targeted
By Police
Of high accident locations cited
by the Suffolk County Police
Department for special attention
of a special highway patrol unit,
two intersections in Farmingdale
are at the top of the list. The
intersections of Conklin Street
and Rt. 110 and Allen Boulevard
and Rt. 110 are listed as numbers
one arid four ' respectively'.
In the Nassau County survey
announced several months ago,
two other Farmingdale in­tersections
were singled out for
their infamy. Merrits Rd, and
Hempstead Turnpike was one of
the county leaders in accident
frequency, while Main St. at
Fulton was close behind.
Suffolk County Police Com­missioner
Donald J. Dilworth
announced that a fleet of
specially marked, Highway
Patrol and motorcycle units,
utilizing moving radar equip­ment,
will concentrate their
efforts towards reducing motor
vehicle accidents at these high
incident areas.
Under the terms of a $ 324,019
federal grant awarded to the
Suffolk Co. Highway Traffic
Safety Department, the Highway
Patrol Bureau has received
$ 70,904 towards the purchase of
five cars, radar equipment and
gas to be used in the police phase
of enforcement.
The program, called STEP
( Selective. Traffic Enforcement
Program), will feature vigorous
surveillance and enforcement at
four target locations in each
police precinct. The two Far­mingdale
intersections comprise
one half of the total concentration
in the first precinct.
