CARMAN Gregory Sosa Agency IMPROVEMENT CAN BE COSTLY You can make a million mistakes trying to sell your own home. And one of them is making the wrong im- provements. Many times, an expensive addition or repair can be the kind of thing that'll cost you far more than you get back. True, the house should present a favorable ap- pearance - mowed lawn, trimmed shrubs, and no obvious indications of neglect, but it's rare when a large financial undertaking will bring more than its cost in the final selling price. There is always the financial risk of miscalculation too. Home repair costs frequently end up a lot higher than originally anticipated. You may end up with a faster sale and less inconvenience if you lower the selling price an equivalent amount Instead of guessing as to how much, if any, repair work to undertake, see a Realtor. He can tell you what to do to make your home more salable. And what not to do so you won't lose money. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please call on the dependable people at the GREGORY SOSA AGENCY. 291 Conklin St., Phone 249- 0321.

Saladino announced that Town refuse collection schedules have been temporarily revised for those areas affected by sewer construction. Homeowners in East Massapequa, South Far- mingdale, Farmingdale and North Massapequa, who have Town sanitation collection, are requested to place their refuse at curbside the night before the scheduled pickup day. The Town's Sanitation Collection Services Division has altered the starting time of its vehicles in order to have the trucks service their routes before the private contractors close off the streets for the sewer work. \This new time schedule,\ said Saladino, who is chairman of the Town Board Committee on Sanitation, \will be in effect for several months and will have to be revised on a day-to-day basis according to the progress of the construction firms. Rather than have our residents count on an approximate 6 a.m. pickup, they should make the effort to leave their refuse at the curb the night before the collection.\ First Aid \First Aid,\ with guest speakers from the Nassau County Police Department, will be the subject of a discussion program at the Farmingdale Public Library on Tuesday morning, April 26, at 9:30 a.m. All are DINNER PLANS: Nancy Gillies [left] and Adele Amend are shown looking over the plans for the covered-dish dinner of the Farmingdale • Bethpage Historical Society which will be held at Northside School, Farmingdale, at 6 p.m. Sunday, April 24.
