Town Takes Aim At Litterbugs Town Supervisor John W. Burke announced that the Town Board has scheduled a public hearing for Tuesday, October 26, to consider adoption of sub- stantial increases in the maximum penalties imposed for violations of existing laws prohibiting littering and scavenging as well as violations of provisions currently regulating municipal and private refuse collection and disposal. \In large measure the residents and businessmen of Oyster Bay display a willingness to comply with regulations designed to assure the cleanliness and sightliness of local neighborhoods, as well as laws that control the proper disposal of refuse,\ stated Burke. \However a less thoughtful and less law-abiding minority can work against their best efforts. \By increasing the penalties in various areas with regard to littering, scavenging and waste disposal, we hope to make violations more prohibitive, generally, and also to provide the Town's attorneys with the necessary tools to secure sub- stantial fines in cases where violations are found and prosecuted,\ the Supervisor continued. Burke was joined in an- nouncement Of the hearing by Town Councilman Joseph J. Saladinb, chairman of the Town Board's Standing Committee on Sanitation.

Citing recent Board action aimed at cracking down on the scavenging of bundled newsprint placed at curbside for collection in Oyster Bay's mandatory newspaper recycling program, Saladino stated that the Town's current proposal \includes an increased maximum fine that will serve as a further deterrent against the illegal removel of newspapers.

The existing penalty for the intentional disposal of mixed newsprint and refuse at Town facilities by private contractors or other individuals would in- crease from $250 and/or 15 days imprisonment to $750 and/or 15 days, imprisonment. The Board is also calling for an increase in fines for owners, occupants or controllers of property who fail to place gar- bage or rubbish in proper receptacles and in accordance with existing provisions gover- ning the collection of these materials.
