The action , for a declaratory judgment , would also enjoin vil- lage officials from doing any thing further on their master p lan which not only includes the pari- ' ing plan , but projects ideas f' -r recreational and park areas. The petitioners are J. J. Cat ty ll Inc., Joseph T. Losee and Ber.ha L. Ketcham. The defendants are Robert T. Waldbauer , William J. Newham , Charles N. Miller , Dom- inick G. Maletta , Robinson Roe , Roy R. Krieger and E. Donald Schneider , the present village board ; Michael A. Sardell , a vil- lage trustee when the condemna- tion proceedings were held; Vil- lage Attorney Robert G. Bauer : Village Clerk Ronald A. Blau , and the Incorporated Village of Patch- ogue. The p laintiffs , whose attorney is Mr. Losee , filed their action in Supreme Court yesterday and also procured an order from Supreme Court Justice Henry Zaleski to show cause why a temporary in- junction should not be issued to stop work on the parking p lan. The village must \ show cause \ on or bv June 13. The last of April of this year . J. J. Carroll , Inc., of 32 Church Street . Patchogue. charged that condemnation proceedings conduct ed by the village were not legal. Brookhaven Justice of t h e Peace Anthony Salvatore up held the village in a decision rendered May 4. Carroll rented storage space for his moving company on the condemned Church Street field. B y John McLain The Farmingville Resi- dents Association stepped up its campaign this week to have the postal address of the Suffolk County Com- munity College changed from Selden to Farming- ville. On Tuesday the association mailed a petition to the board of trustees of the college explaining wh y it feels an injustice has been done to Farmingville by the change of the postal address. On the same day a letter went to County Executive H. Lee Den- nison. It urged him and the Board of Supeiviso. s to do what they can to make Farmingville the pos- tal addiess for the college which is expected to open classes this Fall at the former site of the Suffolk Sanatorium. During the past academic year classes have been held at night in Sachem Hi g h School. The association said Farming- ville residents had worked hard to bring the college to Farmingville and contended it was unfair to identify the college now with Sel- den. Questioned whether the trustees would change the addi ess , LeRoy Van Nostrand , Jr., board chair- man said Wednesday : \No , it will not be changed. This is set. This is not a great problem. The board of trustees made a survey of postal facilities available for this location. The Selden post office was the onl y one that would give house delivery. We could not have delivery at the site from the Holtsville and Far- mingviUe post offices. Also , the telep hone exchange is Selden. We referred the matter to William Ca: roll , director of the mails in the Brooklyn office of the Post Office Department , and to Con- gressman Otis G. Pike. \ On February 9 , Mr. Van Nos- trand said , the board established b y a resolution that Selden would be the college ' s postal address. The board , he said , was informed March 16 , that the U. S. Post Office Department had approved the Selden address. In a releas\ , the association said it was \in possession of a reso- lution adopted by the Suffolk Board of Supervisors May 23 , 1960 , which authorized the county executive to dispose of the Suffolk Sanatorium situated at Farming- vi'le and to lease th\ Marshall Building at the sanatorium as tem- porary quarters for the college. \ Reached at his office , Mr. Den- nison said , \I would have to check the resolution to see if our resolu- tion specifically stat° d Farming- ville. The sanatorium was ofte n referred to as beinc: located in Holtsville. Th-^re is just as much agitation for the postal address to be kept at Selden as there is for Continued on page 6 , this section Petition Trustees To Have Postal Address Changed Part Use This Season Of Corey Bch., Marina Project Well Under Way: BLUE POINT — The work involved in the development by Brookhaven Town of the Corey Beach and Marina here in Blue Point is well under way. According to Councilman John J. Foley, th er e will be several p hases of work done , before the town will have comp leted this project , authorized b y the Brookhaven Town Board under the 10-point program of town improvements. Planned in the first phase of the development is a black-topped parking lot , Mr. Foley said. In addition to providing parking fa- cilities for tlie users of the beach and marina , the lot is being con- structed so as to permit flooding part of it next Winter , to pro- vide an ice skating rink. \The beach will be cleared as much as possible so that at lea. ~ >t I ^ . . partial use will be available to the town residents , this season , \ he stated. \Plans for the year , no1 to be confused with this Summei season , include the construction o1 a pavilion.

A -spokesman for County GOP Chairman Arthur M. Cromarty, said the 3 -<to-2 decision of the hi gh court, will be '' appealed as a mat- ter of course to the State Court of Appeals. He said that since Su- preme Court Justice L. Barron Hill had orig inall y ruled an ab- stention by a supervit>:_ could not be counted as a vote , the total number of judges ruling on the decision was six , three one way and three the other. Under the county charter. Coun- ty Executive H. Lee Dennison is given a vote only in the case of a tie (5 to 5) vote by the 10- member Board of Supeiwisors. The board is sp lit , five Republicans to five Democrats. Last January, the Democratic board members introduced resolu- tions calling for the appointment of George W. Percy, Jr., West- hampton Beach Democrat , as county attorney, and the appoint- ment of several other officials. The Democrats voted in favor of the resolutions and the Republicans against , with the exception of Mr. Cromarty. Mr. Cromarty, who is Baby lon supervisor , abstained from voting. But Board Chairman William J. Leonard ruled Mr . Cromart y ' s ab- stention was a vote , and gave Mr. Dennison the ri ght to cast his tie- breaking vote to carry the reso- lutions. Justice Hill , in February, ruled Mr. Leonard was ' wrong and an- nulled the resolutions. The Demo- crats appealed , represented by Riverhead attorney Reginald C. Smith , and were successful.

County A ppoints Young to Assist Duck Growers The Suffolk Board of Supervi- sors voted unanimously Monday to retain a Riverhead engineer to as- sist duck growers in three town- ships to comply with rig id waste disposal regulations established by the New York State Water Pollu- tion Control Board. Alden W. Young will advise the farmers on the installation and operation of equipment , and also make studies looking to the even- tual chlorination of effluent from the settling beds. The board appro- priated $6 , 000 to cover his fees and expenses.

Such districts are eligible for Federal funds under the Public Health Law. Duck raisers have been , wrest- ling with the problem of waste disposal for several years and many have invested thousands of dollars in lagoons , pumps , screens and other equipment. With costs reportedly running in some in- stances up to $50 , 000 , many grow- ers claimed they have been unable to stand the financial strain. According to County Executive PI. Lee Dennison , 22 farms have been repo te 1 in violat : on. The ex- ecutive said they are being given a reasonable time to bring their disposal facilities up to s^ate re- quirements.

Barraud finall y bubbled into the open at Tuesday s board meeting. As of this writing, the opposing factions are still at it with no holds barred . In partictrar , the question is whether or not the highway de- partment should spend more money than it has in the past to lepair boardwalks and make general re- pairs on the Great South Beach. In general , the question boils down to town board criticism of Mr. Barraud' s administrative me- thods , which includes a charge by the board that the highway sup- erintendent has hel d over $250 , 000 in surp lus funds from the 1960 budget. Mr. Barraud has vehemently denied the charge and has pro- duced figures which differ greatly from the surp lus figure of $273 , - 625.96 calculated b y Town Comp- troller Ral ph Mack°y. CompHcating the issue is the ever-present fact that Mr. Bar- raud is the lone Republican in the all-Democratic administration. The dispute started last month when residents of Fire Island Pin^s and Cherry Grove , two Great South Beach communities, comp lained to the town board that their boardwalks , which they use as highways , are in poor shape. They have contended that broken walks harass firemen and garbage collectors and constitute a hazard, to people living there. Even earhe- than last month. Councilman John A. Young made repeated requests of Mr. Barraud that more work be done on Fire Island. Mr. Barraud has maintained throughout that his department Continued on page 8 , this section BELLPORT — The revised and second public school budget of Central School District 4 will be voted upon Tuesday, June 13 , at the Bellport Junior High School gymnasium between the hours of 2 and 10 p. m.
