[Post photo by Bob Starrett] New Garbage Collection Schedule Begins April 5 Town Supervisor John W. Burke announced that the Town Board has adopted the necessary changes to permit the Town to save about a half a million dollars a year by changing the garbage collection schedule. \We will be able to initiate the new schedule during the week of April 5,\ Burke said, \and I have been assured that our sanitation men will assist in providing the information necessary to make the transition as smooth as possible for residents.\ Under the revised schedule, residents who now have Town collection on Monday, Wed- nesday and Friday will be scheduled -for Tuesday and Library Vote (Continued from page 1 ] cheapest possible alternative. According to library officials, if a new lease must be signed for the library to remain in their present branch building on a rental basis, the rent would be increased from $25,000 per year to 640,000 per year the first year and increase each year thereafter as the taxes increased. The library's landlord has stated that any new lease would include a pass-through clause on all future taxes on the building. For me past 15 years the landlord, the Sid Farber Corporation, has had to pay the taxes out of the rental fee. If approved by the voters, the library would be purchased and , financed by a 30 year bond issue. This would, according to the trustees, produce no increase in taxes. They estimate that signing another ten year lease would cost a minimum of 6400,000 over ten years as opposed to $250,000 over 30 years for purchase of the building. Voting on the proposal will be held in the Howitt gymnasium from 10 a.m. to 10 pjn. next Tuesday. Friday collections. Those currently on the Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday schedule will have collections on Monday and Thursday. \With the start of the new schedule, the • Town will im- mediately begin saving in its collection districts,\ Burke noted. \The collection personnel will be decreased by 35 to 40 men almost immediately.\ He noted that throughout the study and preparation of the proposal for the new collection schedule, \I was very satisfied to see that not only bad department and division heads recognized that economies in government had to be developed, but the leadership of the Civil Service Employees Association demonstrated a true responsible attitude and worked closely with the Town in helping to develop this tax-saving program.\ Burke noted that the achievement of agreement on this program demonstrated a realisation by both sides that productivity improvement is an absolute essential ingredient in cutting back on government \Both sides had to make concessions to bring about this schedule and the taxpayer will benefit from this cooperation.\ Village Vote (Continued from page 1 ] and blustery winds, made the normally light village turnout at the polls even lighter than usual for the unopposed slate of can- didates. Mayor Hallahan tod the ticket with 88 votes, followed by Trustees Rathgaber with 87 and Drugan with 77 votes. The candidates and members of the Liberty Party held their victory celebration after the votes were tallied at the heme of Deputy Mayor Willis B. Carman, Jr. on Bethpage Road. Burke said. \While there might be some confusion at the outset, once the homeowner adjusts to the change in his routine, it is doubtful that the new schedule will present any serious dif- ficulties. And, as a result of the new schedule, we can talk seriously about there being no increase in the Town Collection District tax rates for 1977.\ Pasquale D'Alessio, president of the Town CSEA, said that while his men will actually be doing 20 percent more work each week, \we realize that the Town must find ways of reducing its spending. We were willing to go along with the extra workload because it seemed this way of cutting costs would be least painful to all concerned. In ad- dition, I know how strongly our sanitation unit felt about establishing a system that could assure them of having weekends off.\ Under the current system the sanitation collection personnel work rotating shifts and frequently have their days off fall in the middle of the week. Other changes adopted by the Town Board include: increasing the fee to dump at the Town in- cinerator and/or landfill from $8 per ton to $9 per ton, effective June l, increasing the permit fee from $25 to $100 per truck per year, effective Jan. 1, 1977; changing truck identification from a metal plate to a wind- shield decal, effective Jan. 1, 1977, and eliminating Town collection for certain schools where it is currently permitted, effective Jan. 1,1977.
