Captain Michael Miglino, commanding officer of the Bureau said that while the county ordinance covering snow emergencies does not call for the use of snow tires or chains, it does prohibit the abandonment or parking of vehicles on designated snow emergency routes, when a (ON MERCHANDISE IN STOCK) • Diamond Engagement Kings • Gold Chains • All Men's and Ladies Stone Rings • Pierced Earrings • Name Brand Watches • And Much, Much More!! mm oe/en rytm 237 MAIN ST., FARMINGDALE 694-4455 snow emergency has been declared. \We are authorized under the county ordinance to legally remove and ticket any vehicles which are abandoned or parked during a declared snow emergency,\ Miglino said. According to Miglino, the advisory on the use of snow tires and abandonment of vehicles is being made at this time because of the imminent arrival of winter. \We want the motoring public to be aware of what the law requires and to be properly prepared for winter,\ he stated. There are 92 roads in the county which have been designated snow emergency routes and they pass through more than 60 communities. The county ordinance does not affect regulations on state parkways. Senior Center Final plans for improvements at the North Massapequa Community Center were approved by the Oyster Bay Town Board. Town Councilman Joseph J. Saladino explained that the improvements, which were requested by the senior citizen club using the facility, will entail finishing the basement and making it into a game room. Work on the project, which has received federal funding, is scheduled for completion by early spring. \There are about 300 registered members of the senior citizen club who use the Albany Avenue center five days a week,\ the Massapequa Councilman commented. \Presently both active and quiet activities must be held in the same room. By making the basement into a game room, those wishing to engage in quiet games or conversation will.be able to do so without competing against the distractions of ping pong and other active games.\ Garbage Charges An increase in fees charged to private carters, villages and school districts for solid waste disposal will be the subject of a public hearing before the Oyster Bay Town Board on Tuesday, December 20, at 10 a.m. The increase would be from $9 per ton to $11 per ton and bring the rates in line with new rates that the Towns of Hempstead and North Hempstead will adopt as of January 1, 1978. \For the past several years, the three Nassau Towns have maintained uniform waste disposal rates to discourage 'out • of-town' refuse being attracted to any one Town's disposal facility because of a lower disposal fee,\ Town Supervisor Joseph Colby .explained. \Hempstead and North Hempstead have notified us of their planned increases in fees to cover increased operating and maintenance costs, so we really don't have any alternative.\ If adopted by the Town Board, it can be expected that the new rates would go into effect early in 1978. Cancels Meeting Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Colby announced that there will be no meeting of the Town Board on Tuesday, December 13. The next meeting will be conducted on Tuesday, December 20. Meetings of the Tcwn Board are.held in the Hearing Room of Town Hall East in Oyster Bay hamlet at 10 a.m. each Tuesday of the fall, winter and spring months unless otherwise announced.

The adjusted sales price of the house must be $35,000 or [ess. If you sold for more than 135,000, you can still avoid tax on the gain at- tributable to the first $35,000 of the sales proceeds.
