No Change Seen In Elderly Tax Exemption

There will be no change in the income level of eligibility for partial property tax exemption for the elderly in 1979 in the town of Andover. the current level of $3,600 was expected to be un changed, although the Andover Town Board will discuss the issue further at its April meeting.

Current tax law permits 50 percent reductions in taxes to senior citizens who have an an­nual income of less than the s tandard set by local municipalities and school districts.

Deadlines for filing for 1979 exemptions for elderly is May, 1978. To change the income level, the town board must call a public hearing for public input, which would need to be legally advertised 10 days prior to the hearing.

It would prbably be too late to file for Andover senior citizens who are affected by an increased local standard, should the town board, at its April 13 meeting, propose to increase the standard.

Supervisor Howard Burdick said increasing the level to $5,000 or $6,000 would "make a big dif­ference" to other taxpayers. He said thatshould an increase be made, he would favor a figure of $4,200. The Andover Central School District income level of eligibility was recently raised to $5,000.

In other business, the Andover Town Board, at its March 9 meeting.

approved town officials' participation in an Albany meeting for municipalities, sponsored by Assemblyman Jim Emery

...approved a six percent in­crease to the wages of town em­ployees. Hourly wage, currently $4.08, is being increased to $4.32.

...received and placed on file, a state audit for 1974-76.

...changed the titles of clerk to the supervisor, clerk to the justices and clerk to the superintendent of highways, to "assistant" to the supervisor, "assistant" to the justices and "ass i s tan t" to the highway superintendent.

Church to Break Ground Tht> Alfred Almond Bible

C h u r c h hopes to b r e a k ground in June for a church building, after the purchase of 8.6 acres of land from Robert and Colleen Jefferds was finalized last week.

The land is located on the west side of State Route 21, just south of Alfred-Almond Central School. The Rev. Daniel Kenyon, pastor of the church, said the location was selected so that transporta­tion of s t u d e n t s for the Protestant release time reli-ous instruction would be m inim ized.

Currently, the release t ime ins t ruc t ion is held e a c h T h u r s d a y a t the Alfred Seventh Day Baptist Church Par ish House and averages

78 elementary and junior-senior high school students each week. The program, co sponsored by the A-A Bible Church and the Alfred S.D.B. Church, hit an all-time attendance high last week of 90 students.

According to Kenyon, the church hopes to begin build­ing in June of this year . Tentative plans include a s a n c t u a r y to s e a t 300 persons, a nursery, Sunday School rooms, kitchen and dining facilities.

Organ ized in 1976, the Alfred-Almond Bible Church began meeting in the Almond Grange Hall Feb . 1 of that year, and will continue to use the Hall for its Sunday services.

The past months have tested the stoicism of Alfred residents. They were found equal to the test as they bailed basements, thawed pipes and talked about their chores — if they could get to town in ice-encrusted cars with doors frozen shut and oil congealed like molasses. Anyhow, stoicism prevailed. The severe weather seemed to bring people together — neighbors with jump cables, sharing adversity with good fellowship.
