FEDERAL TAX INCREASE
Recently the President asked
the American people to write
their cCongressman to say they
wanted a federal tax increase.
The President indicated that the
people should demand this.
I havw news for the President.
The people have been writing me
about his tax increase ever since
he proposed it. They are over-whelmingly
opposed to it,
I am receiving more l e t t e r s every
day opposing the tax increase.
The President appears to be
out of touch with the sentiments
of the people. There is a com-munications
gap between the
White House and the man on the
s t r e e t.
I have decided to send him
copies of all the letters I have
received to date on the question.
He will see for himself that the
people know about his tax in-c
r e a s e and do not want it.
Additionally, I am asking the
people of the Fabulous Fourth
Congressional District to write
the President and tell him they
oppose his tax increase and that
they wish him to cut federal
spending instead. I believe he
should be made aware of the
sentiments of the people on such
an important issue.
The President also appears to
have confused prosperity and in-flation.
He recently bragged about
our continuing national poros-perity.
He did not explain how a
prosperous country could be run-.
ning a national deficit of $30
billion a year. The "prosperity"
he talks of is built on inflation
and war-time spending.
If the prosperity is the result
of inflation and we r a i s e taxes to
fight inflation, we would appear
to be undermining the President's
prosperity. In the fiscal quick-sands
of the Great Society the
people appear to have been called
upon to engage in a new war - this
time a war on "prosperity."

The history of mall delivery in Lynbrook has been recorded
by many "historians," each with a different version. However,
it is generally agreed that around 1865-1866, the f i r s t Post Of-fice
was established at the comer of Hempste^ Avenue and Mer-rick
Road in a general store operated by Wright Pearsall and his
son Hamilton Wright Pearsall, About this time, Hamilton W. P e a r -
sall was appointed Postmaster, Postmasters in succession were
George A, Mott, Joseph Simonson, Sylvester Pearsall, Wilbur
C, Box, Gottlieb H, Morris, Mary A, CahiU, William A, Stolworthy,
and Albert J , Hart,
After many years. City Delivery was obtained, and on October
12, 1916, Edward Fitzgerald started out with the first bag of mail
in the new service.
On Thursday, July 2, 1926, the Lynbrook Post Office was passed
from a second class office to a first class office. This was tlie
result of having done in excess of $40,000 during the previous
year, which, at that time, was indicative of the growth of Lynbrook.
Today, the Lynbrook Post Office regularly does aiproximatelyone
million dollars worth of business each year. The Postal District
is served by 21 City Carrier Routes, and five motor vehicles.
Our new air-conditioned, modem facility is a proud addition to
the community, and will no doubt be a factor in the growth of the
business which will be atti-acted to Lynbrook,
