This coming Tuesday,

Voters will go to their local
polling places between 6 a. m. and
9 p. m. and face no less than ten
questions on the ballot before
they can get around to selecting
candidates to represent them in
the Town of Oyster Bay or
Nassau County.
In addition to the two Nassau
County propositions for a con­tinuation
of the board of super­visors
or a 15 district County
Legislature, there will be a state
proposition on a housing bond
issue and seven proposed
amendments to the State Con­stitution,
including the con­troversial
Equal Rights
Amendment.
Most important to Nassau
voters is the selection of their
form of Nassau County govern­ment,
choosing between the
present supervisor system or
changing to a. 15 member
legislature. f
Whichever local law is ap­proved
by receiving a majority of
the votes cast will be the county's
future system of government. If
both local laws are approved, the
one receiving the most " yes"
votes will become law.
If County Proposition # 1 is
approved, there will be no county
legislature. If it is defeated, the
Supreme Court's plan for an
interim county legislature will go
into effect. Candidates for that
legislature elected on the ballot
will take office Jan. 1. If the new
legislature is approved in
Proposition J2 the interim
legislators elected on the ballot
will take office Jan. 1, but will
