Colby Blasts Assembly On Snow Bill The inaction by the Assembly Ways and Means Committee on a bill to allow municipalities such as the Town of Oyster Bay to use bonds to cover the extraordinary expense of the past winter's snow control operations will result in a greater burden being placed on local taxpayers, according to Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Colby. \Despite repeated pleas by my office to the Legislature, while it was in session, we have discovered that the bill which would have renewed the life of the State policy of. allowing local municipalities to issue bonds to cover extraordinary expenses due to unpredictable amounts of snow, was allowed to die in committee,\ Colby said. \Assemblyman Arthur Kremer, chairman of that committee, I Continued on page 8} INSPECTION TOUR: Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Colby points to blueprints of the Black Clawson Solid Waste Recycling Plant currently under construction for the Town of Hempstead.

Flea Market Postponed has The scheduled flea market sale by the Kiwanis Club of Far- mingdale was postponed last Saturday because of rain and threatening weather. It will be held this Saturday, Sept. 17th at the Village Green from 9 a.m. till 6 p.m. unless all items are sold prior thereto. The sale is being held for the benefit of the Farmingdale Auxiliary Police Unit *314 and all proceeds will be donated to this volunteer group who assist the Nassau County Police Depart- ment in patrolling the residential and business areas of Far- mingdale including the U.F.S.D. #22 area. The theme of the Kiwanis Club for the year 1977 is \Safeguard against Crime,\ and according to Kiwanis Club President Frank Piccolo, financial assistance to the local Auxiliary Police Unit fits in perfectly with such theme, having already made a con- tribution for the purchase of the patrol car, which will be dedicated to the Village of Farmingdale during the sale. The funds received will be used for the purchase of uniforms and Two Camera Targeted By Police Of high accident locations cited by the Suffolk County Police Department for special attention of a special highway patrol unit, two intersections in Farmingdale are at the top of the list. The intersections of Conklin Street and Rt. 110 and Allen Boulevard and Rt. 110 are listed as numbers one arid four 'respectively'. In the Nassau County survey announced several months ago, two other Farmingdale in- tersections were singled out for their infamy. Merrits Rd, and Hempstead Turnpike was one of the county leaders in accident frequency, while Main St. at Fulton was close behind. Suffolk County Police Com- missioner Donald J. Dilworth announced that a fleet of specially marked, Highway Patrol and motorcycle units, utilizing moving radar equip- ment, will concentrate their efforts towards reducing motor vehicle accidents at these high incident areas. Under the terms of a $324,019 federal grant awarded to the Suffolk Co. Highway Traffic Safety Department, the Highway Patrol Bureau has received $70,904 towards the purchase of five cars, radar equipment and gas to be used in the police phase of enforcement. The program, called STEP (Selective. Traffic Enforcement Program), will feature vigorous surveillance and enforcement at four target locations in each police precinct. The two Far- mingdale intersections comprise one half of the total concentration in the first precinct.
