Lynbrook Board Meeting
The Board of Trustees of the
Incorporated Village of Lynbrook
held a meeting Monday evening,
March 6, 1972 at 8:00 p.m. at the
Village Hall, 1 Columbus Drive
that covered quite a wide range
of topics as subject matter on the
agenda including Refuse
Disposal Bags, Absentee Lan-d
l o r d s , E n v i r o n m e n t al
Protection, the Curbing of Dogs,
and Mailing Charges for Tax
Bills.
The minutes of Jan. 31st and
February 7th were approved by
the Board. A lively discussion
was next on the agenda about the
use of refuse disposal bags. The
village will promote use of the
bags in both two-ply paper bags
and plastic bags in the hope of
eventually phasing out the use of
garbage cans for waste removal
as an ecological and economical
method of garbage disposal. It
was reported that many residents
complain about Ihe noise of
garbage cans when the D.P.W, is
making pick-ups in early hours of
the morning, and that the new
type of plastic refuse disposal
bags not only save time and
money for the Dept. of Public
Works and the village taxpayer in
the long run but eventually
disintegrate and help with
ecological improvement of our
land. The number of man-hours
needed to pick up plastic and
paper refuse bags is considerably
less then in the use of garbage
cans. The Village Board passed a
resolution adding plastic and
special 2 ply paper bags to the
already listed use of garbage
cans as a method approved for
the disposal of refuse by Lyn-brook
residents.
In a discussion regarding
absentee landlords, especially in
multiple dwellings, it was pointed
out by Mayor Becker that many
tenants have no way of actually
reaching their landlord and must
instead contact the superin-tendent
or janitor of the building
or a building or rental agent with
any complaint. Also in case of a
serious violation it is often the
janitor or superintendent who is
served with a summons instead
of the actual owner. A Freeport
ordinance requiring the posting
of a notice with the ow;ier's name
and phone number will be studied
by the Village Clerk a^ well as an
ordinance on this matter now in
use in New York City and the best
features of both incorporated into
our present new ordinance
requiring landlords and owners
of multiple dwellings to register
various tenants who are oc-cupying
his property. Honorable
William G. Gaylor, Village
Justice of the Village Court of
Lynbrook, Trustee Lawrence
Florio, and Mr. Monroe Leeds
made excellent suggestions and
explanations about the different
aspects of this matter.
The Lynbrook Park Civic
Association represented by Mr.
Joseph Minsky made a donation
of $100 each to the Lynbrook Fire
Dept., the Lynbrook Recreation,
fi/ Annette Ling
and the Lynbrook Patrolmen's
Benevolent Assoc. Mayor Becker
and Mr. Minsky made the
presentation to representatives
of each organization and the
Civic Assoc. was warmly thanked
for their generous contribution to
these worthy organizations in the
village.
The Incorporated Village of
Lynbrook will send a letter ex-

Kim Thomas Purcell was born
in Van Nuyes, California to
Honorable and Mrs. Frances
Purcell of Malverne.
His father, now the Supervisor
of the Town of Hempstead was
stationed in Van Nuyes during a
part of World War II. Tom has
two sisters, Patricia, (Mrs.
Steven Hirsch) and Diane Pur-cell.
He graduated from Davison
Ave. School in Lynbrook,
Malverne High School, and then,
Hofstra University with a degree
in Business Administration and
Management.
He went directly to work for
Franklin National Bank after
graduation, as banking is of great
interest to him and his ifrst love
as a profession.
He is a typical Long Island boy
and has spent many summers
boating in the waters of the South
Shore.
Tom was married in June, ison'
to the former Jean Finocchioli of
Malverne. The young couple first
lived in Lynbrook for three years,
and later moved to North
Bellmore. They have three
handsome young sons, Shawn,
age 5, Brian, age 3, and little
brother, Kevin, age 1 year.
They spend week-ends in the
Poconos in Pa. and prefer the
beach in Long Island in the
summer months. Tom Purcell
loves his wife's lasagne and
chocolate cake and thoroughly
enjoys her cooking. They have
little time for long vacations
because of their busy activity
caring for their young family.
Three sons keep them quite busy
as any person can imagine who
has raised a child in the early
years.
Tom is an athletic 6 ft. 2" and
likes all sports, especially golf.
He is a neat dresser, preferring

green eyes, dark brown Hair and
attractive features. He is a quiet,
sincere, and sympathetic young
man who is keen on his job and
truly likes people and meeting
the public day to day. He is a
member of the Bellmore Chapter
of United Cerebral Palsy, (he
North Bellmore Republican Club,
and a Director of the Lynbrook
Chamber of Commerce, Inc.
One of the most memorable
events in his life to date was the
time his father won the primary
for a seat in the New York State
Legislature. It was the first time
iri forty years that a candidate
had upset the Republican choice.
Watching his Dad run and win
against such great odds was a
great thrill to young Tom and his
whole family. He has a great love
and respect for his father and is

Bulletin
Fraudulent Con Game
Nassau Police Detectives today
warned county residents of a
fraudulent "Confidence Game"
which has preyed mostly upon
elderly women who have bank
accounts in various banks
throughout Nassau County.
Recently, in eleven cases, a
smooth-talking thief has first
telephoned his victims and
falsely identified himself as a
police lieutenant or sergeant
conducting an investigation in-volving
bank tellers. In the
course of this conversation, the
"Con Man" obtains the necessary
information concerning the
victim's bank account and
then asks her to cooperate vyith
the police by withdrawing a large
sum of money from her account.
The thief, still impersonating a
police officer, arranges to meet
