NEWSDAY continues, "Two small weathered brown leather books containing the town's 1850 and 1851 tax rolls and list of men eligible for the military were displayed yesterday in Town Hall by John Hammond, the town historian, and Steve Labriola, the Oyster Bay town clerk, who were clearly giddy about the recovery of the documents. "If someone was doing a genealogical search or a history of the town, these are extremely valuable," Labriola said."
