Drive; Frederick Hoefner, 3371 Greenway Road; Thomas Bissot. 3332 Baseline Road and Calvin Mikas 2248 Long Rd. All cars had to be towed from the scene. Grand Island was hard hit yes- terday by blowing and drifting snow but all roads were kept opened and schools were not closed. NEW DOG WARDEN APPOINTED According to Deputies Payne and Conrad Scherer other cars involved were driven by Paul Aschenbrenner . 2948 Sunset Grand island has a new dog warden. He is John E. Thomp- son of 3489 Warner Drive and his phone number is 7'73 - 3663. That’s the new number to dial to report violations of the town dog ordinance.

Brochure Recalls Wishful Thinking “When bonds are paid off by tolls, bridges will be free as State highways”. developers stated in a brochure which help- ed sell homes in Grandyle Vil- lage more than 20 years ago. The pamphlet compiled to ex- plain advantages of first homes built on East Park Road includ- ed a plot plan of the area which showed as “business areas” parts of Stony Point Road at Red Jacket, Hennepin and Love Roads. ISLAIDERS AITEND HEART FUND Grand Island was well re- presented at the 1965 Heart Fund Kick-off Luncheon last Thurs- day in the Rendevous Room of Hotel Statler Hilton, Buffalo. Of the 100 persons present, thirteen were Grand Islanders, who with other town volunteers will take part in the Heart Fund drive February 14 to February 21st. “Heart of the Year” medals were presented to two adults and a 6 year old boy who have over- come personal heart problems. Presentations were made by Ro- bert B. Grote, general chairman of this year's Heart Drive. Dr. Floyd R. Skelton, president of the Heart Association of Erie County was the speaker. Interesting to read and ponder over now are such statements “The zoning excludes heavy industry among other nuisances and in planning this virgin ter- ritory provision was made for wide highways, parks and park- ways. Many of these have al- ready been and more will be built at the expense of the State of New York. “Annual taxes on a six-room house in Grandyle Village are from $90 to $150 less than in mainland cities. This average saving of about $10 a month more than offsets bridge tolls.

EZEZIZHIEII “Taxes are less than half what they are in other surrounding communities and will remain ‘lower because so many public services are maintained by State and County. Just how much the $500,000 ice boom built last summer is going to benefit Grand Island riverfront property owners re- mains to be seen. However, re- cent reports show the installa- tion is working satisfactorily un- der present weather conditions. The State Power Authority claims the boom acted as it was expected to under recent 70 mph winds. It submerged andthe hea-vy ice floes rode over it. Falls Mon Ad mits Hoax F.C. Buszydlowski COMMITTEE HEADS NAMED A Niagara Falls man was fined $50 by a Lewlston Peace Justice after he admitted making a false report of being robbed on Grand Island December 13th. “Grand Island has no factor- ies and is the only town in the world ever completely zoned and master-planned before it was populated.” The brochure was printed in 1942.
