SHEEHAN REVEALS
SUPPLY DANGER
WATER
Leo Sheehan, a candidate for
Water Commissioner of the South
Farmingdale Water District, this
week said that the present construction
of sewers which will
discharge used water directly into
the sea, coupled with the increased
demands of an expanded
population, will require a comprehensive
plan to avoid a critical
water supply problem.
" Within the next generation, the
natural yield of ground water sup-plies
will fall short of the requirements
of Nassau County
residents. We've got to start
planning now,'' Sheehan said.
" One thing we can start doing
is injecting waste water as a
barrier against salt water
along the south shore."
Sheehan indicated that additional
water could be obtained
by desalinization or recharging
waste water. He suggested an
overall project, initiated at the
county level for additions to the
supply system, which would include
scattered wells, storage
tanks, transmission mains, and
waste water treatment and r e charge
works. He said that as
Water Commissioner he would
urge the immediate construction
of sewers, and a program to
prevent the incursion of sea water
as methods of protecting existing
water supplies.

The checking
account that irises
to any occasion
Checking Plus. w Checking Plus
Checking Plus
That's what First National City calls the checking account that
lets you wriie a check bigger than your balance.
So you can rise to any occasion or emergency— any time and
anywhere. So you can avoid the embarrassment of accidentally
overdraw ing your account.
When you open a Checking Plus account, we set up a cash reserve
for you. From $ 400 to $ 5,000. Now you can write a check in the
amount you need, even though your " balance' doesn t cover it.
When you do, we'll automatically take enough money out of your
reserve ( in multiples of $ 100) and credit it to your Checking Plus
account. You're charged only for the portion of the reserve
transferred to your account. And you can repay in 24 monthly
installments, or 12— or faster if you want.
You never pay a penny until you use the
reserve; and, then, interest is
charged only for the number
of days your advance
is outstanding.
Checking Plus. What it adds up to is peace of mind. The ability
to cope with unexpected bills, situations away from home, bargains
too good to pass up; and it's an ideal way to handle short- term loans.
Rise to the occasion.
Open a Checking Plus account at First National City today.
