NEW FIRE HOUSE
FOR VOTER APPROVAL
Voters of the Farmingdale Fire District will go to the polls
this Monday, May 16 from 7 to 10 p. m. to vote on a proposed
sub- station to be erected on Fire District owned property
of 15,000 square feet on the east side of Merritt Road and
the South side of Beverly Road, Farmingdale. The resolu­tion
calls for a bond issue of $ 50,000.
The total maximum cost of the proposed substation is
estimated at $ 90,000, but due to a balance of $ 40,000 in the
Capital Reserve Fund for Land Acquisition and Erection
previously estimated by the Board of Fire Commissioners,
the bond issue to be voted upon is reduced to $ 50,000. The
cost for an average home assessed at $ 5,000 is 50 cents a year.
At present, the only fire house of the Farmingdale Fire
District is the one located at 819 South Main Street, South
Farmingdale. The West End of the Fire District with about
3,500 private homes and several shopping centers is served
by the South Farmingdale Fire House. The Fire District
takes in the area south of the South Farmingdale railroad
tracks and West of the Suffolk County Line, as well as un­incorporated
land in the northwest and northeast Farming-dale
and a large part of West Farmingdale.
The Sub- Station will be of class one fireproof construction
in accordance with the standards and requirements of the state
and local building codes. In addition to the apparatus room
for fire engines, it will include a control room, a storage shop
and lavatories.
Voting will take place in the South Farmingdale Fire House
at 819 South Main Street, South Farmingdale.

Board Studies Ways To Enforce
Ordinance
A delegation of Sullivan Road
residents at Monday's Farming-dale
Village meeting learned that
steps to enforce Farmingdale
Village ordinances on the Morris
Karp fertilizer plant were being
studied and that a report would
be issued in the near future.
A James Sullivan of 5 Ivy
Street, Farmingdale asked that
a sump behind Ivy Street on
Oakdale Boulevard be improved
by landscaping and other means.
He said tliat he had written to
the Town of Oyster Bay. The
Board suggested that he write
to Nassau County Department of
Public Works since the sump
was out of the village. The Mayor
suggested that the village could
put in some Poplar trees on
Oakdale Boulevard and that a
letter could be sent to UieCounty
favoring Mr. Sullivan's suggest­ion.
One down and two to go. A check for $ 9,056.84 in full payment of a note
