Town Ponders Polity
Of ' little Tom Halls*
The Town Board will inaugurate
a policy of " Little Town
Halls" next month to accommodate
Town residents and their
problems.
Councilman Edmund A. Ocker
acting majority leader, explained
that with the increase in me
Town population and contingent
problems, there is a need for
regular meetings of residents and
councilmen to discuss and attempt
to arrive at acceptable
community solutions.
" Our plans which will go into
effect the week of February 16,
will set aside one night a week
from 8: 30 p. m. to 10: 30 p. m.
where one or more councilmen
will meet the residents at four
locations throughout the Town"
Ocker said. A schedule will be
announced next week.
He added that the community
center at the Marjorie R. Post
Massapequa Community Park,
the Hicksville Annex, theSyosset
Park's Community Center and
Town Hall are under consideration
as possible locations where
the public can meet the council-men.
" By spreading the meeting locations
throughout the Town we
hope to save the residents time
and inconvenience traveling to a
location too distant from their
homes," Ocker said. " The locations
chosen represent a
cross- section of the Town's geography
and encourage interested
residents to voice their problems
to their Councilman."

week before the Nassau County
Board of Supervisors in the hearings
being held concerning proposed
legislation on air pollution
for Nassau County.

throughout the Town of Oyster
Bay in order to determine the effectiveness
of the County Law
with respect to the particular
problems of die residents of
Oyster Bay.

a large measure, die proposed
County Law was found to be effective
for the local problems,
but that it omitted to cover pollution
as a result of'solvents,
which is a serious problem in
the areas of Woodbury and Plain-view.
Gordon presented a copy of the
California Law which deals with
the problem. He urged die Board
