SUMMER'S LAST
Island's beaches as
Beach on Sunday.
FLING was enjoyed by a large crowd at Long
evidenced by this group of wave riders at Tobay
As if on cue, signaling the end of the summer
season, a cold front led by a belt of thunderstorms put the chill on
Labor Day activities and effectively cleared the beaches earlier than
expected. [ Post photo by Bob Starrett]
Primary
Election
Tuesday
A challenge of Congressman
Angelo Roncallo's Conservative
Party endorsement by Suffolk
conservatives and a battle for the
Democratic nomination in the
10th Assembly District between
Lewis J. Yevoli and Richard M.
Naness will be the major
decisions faced by Farmingdale
voters in next Tuesday's primary
elections.
Roncallo, unapposed on the
Republican ballot as are all
Republican candidates, was
officially endorsed by the Nassau
Cpuservative Party at their
convention for a second ballot
position. The Suffolk conservatives
in: the bi- county 3rd
District, however selected their
own candidate, Mrs. Joan Jansen
of Massapequa, former president
of the Massapequa Conservative
Club.
John J. O'Leary, Nassau
Conservative chairman, and
most of the Nassau executive
committee are supporting
Roncallo! The Suffolk Chairman
Edward F. Campbell and his
committee are behind Mrs.

Senior Exemptions
Automatic In Town
Each time the State
Legislature approves an increase
in the allowable income. limits for
senior citizens tax exemptions,
the change will automatically
become part of the Town Law, it
was announced by Oyster Bay
Receiver of Taxes Solomon
Newborn.
" In the past," Newborn explained,
" the Town Board
amended its law each time the
State Legislature permitted* a
local municipality to increase the
income limit of senior citizens
seeking property tax exemptions."
Most recently the State
body approved an increase in the
income ceiling from $ 6,000 to
$ 6,500, allowing municipalities to
adopt the higher limit so that
senior citizens earning up to
16,500 a year would still be entitled
to partial exemption from
property taxes.
" Now the Town Board has
adopted an amendment to its
local law that not only allows the
most recent increase in the income
ceiling but accepts
automatically all future increases
in the income ceiling as
they are adopted by the State,"
according to Newborn.
Oyster Bay Supervisor John W.
Burke said that the Board voted
to make all future increases
automatic " because we long ago
acted to ease the tax burden of
our older residents and increases
in the income ceiling as they were
permitted by the State always
have been adopted by the Board.
We felt that since it is our intention
to continue that policy,
we, therefore, would make such
increases automatic and
eliminate the need to hold these
public hearings amending that
section of our local laws."
Newborn also reminded senior
citizens that the State Legislature
reduced from five years to two
years the amount of time a senior
citizen must own and live in the
house in order to be eligible for
the tax reduction.
Thunder Storm Keeps
Firemen Hopping
The thunderstorm we haH in
our area kept the local firemen
pretty busy. All three departments
had plenty of calls with
wires down, a transformer fire on
Hallock Street, a house fire near
