Public Meeting Results in Poll Backing Re-Vote BELLPORT — After hearing the restrictions an austerity bud get would im- pose , about 250 residents of Central School District 4 (East Patchogue , Bell port , Brookhaven) asked for an- other bud get vote at a pub- lic meeting held last Thurs- day at Bellport Hi g h School. Central School Disti ict 4 went on a temporary five to seven-we k austerity program July 1 after voters had twice rej°cted annual budget proposals. The meeting last Thursday was . sponsored by the Citizens Council and the joint Parent-Teacher As- sociation Counci 1 to give all tax- payers of the area a chance to hear the latest developments in the school situation and also to express their own op inions . Supervising Principal Dr . Er- win Dingman reported in detail on the rigors of austerity, fol' owing a trip to Albany the day before to get the latest information from the State Education Department . Fn addition to eliminating the hot lunch program , interscholastic sports , and the use of school buildings for outside groups , such as Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, it was pointed out that textbooks and workbooks must by state law be rented and that the bus service; limits will be p laced at the state minimums of two miles for ele- mentary schools and three miles for junior-senior high schools. Dr. Dingman pointed out that because of these state regula- tions the district will be in the strange situation of paying for eig ht school buses (under a con- tract approved b y the voters, against the advice of the school board ) while requiring only five or six buses. Thus , two to three buses would be paid for b y the district while they sit in the ga rage and the children walk , he said. The fundamental policy behind these state regulations was pointed out by Dr. Dingman to be as fol- lows : \The state recognizes the power of local school boards to run their schools independent of an affirma- tive vote by the district voters.

Wetlands Project Dennison Has Hearing: By Tedd Determan Property owners invok ed in a 4 , 600-acre count y land acquisition for conservation purpose's objected to parts of the p lan in a public information meeting held last Thursday at the Yaphank Fire- house. Called by County Executive II. j Lee Dennison and attended by ap- proximatel y 250 peop le, including Brookhaven Town Supervisor Au- gust Stout , Jr., the meeting was to give information on the count y ' ? [ acquisition of Carman ' s River low- lands (Brookhaven , Mastic and Yaphank area). The County Board of Super- visors bad voted May 22 to buy through condemnation the lands around Carman ' s \River on the South Shore and Peconic River on the North Shore. The state will pav about $3 , 000 , 000 on the proj- ect , the county, about 81 , 000.000. The purpose of the project is to conserve woodlands , marsh- lands and wildlife , to protect county water tables and to pro- tect against undesirable develop- ment and pollution of the rivers. Everyone who spoke at the hearing voiced disapproval of the project. Whereas most of the speakers said that conservation and control of the pollution was desirable , they objected to the p lan for the following three rea- sons: 1) If the land were developed into a park and recreation area , the \hoards of New York Cit y \ would descend on the area; 2) the county tax rate would be increas- ed; ari d 3) the method of acquisi- tion of the land was considered unfair. County Executive Dennison an- swered the criticisms as follows: 1) \We have no intention nor enough money to open and deve- lop the area. '' He exp lained that the one most important item was the conservation of land to pre- vent water pollution. 2) Tax rate : \It' s going to be negligible . . . you won 't even know you ' re pay ing for it. \ This statement was followed b y jeers I rom the responsive crowd. Mr . Dennison further explained that since the 81 . 000. 000 from the county would be put on a 20-year bond , the impact of the amount on the tax rate would not be great. I 3) Riverhead Attorney Irving ! Kahn . representing the Long Is- land Farm Bureau and the Long Island Coordinating Committee , stated that in condemnation pro- ceedings b y the government , \in- variably the peop le come out sec- ond best. \ Mr. Kahn suggested that Mr. Dennison investigate the possibil- [ ity of condemning the needed land for permanent easement and not I for acquisition. He explained that such a meth- od would insure count y control of the land , would cost a fraction of the cost of acquisition (estimated at $1 , 000 per acre for the 4 , 588 acres b y Mr. Dennison), and would allow the property owners the same rights to the propert y that they presently have. Mr. Dennison said that he didn ' t know the legalities of the different methods of condemnation , so he didn 't give an answer as to whether he approved or disap- proved of Mr. Kahn ' s suggestion. Mr. Dennison did say that the only thing definite about the pro- gram is that it can 't be stopped. He said that method of condem- nation , the exact taking lines and the means of bonding Continued on ])age 6 , this section U.S. Posta l Official Exp lains Choice of College Address Farm ' ville 'Protest ' Meeting: By John McLain Location of Suffolk Count y Community College on a postal delivery boundary permits the school' s board of trustees to choose the postal address of the institution. This exp lanation was given June 30 by Charles E. Gorman , reg ional services analyst of the U.S. Post Office Department , to more than 300 persons gathered at the Farmingville firchouse to protest that Selden , rather than Farmingville , is the postal address of the new college. Under city-delivery, which is pro- vided by the Selden Post Office to the college , the delivery does not necessarily conform to a cor- porate area , Mr. Gorman said. In this case the delivery boundary between Selden and Farmingville is College Road , formerly Sana- torium Road , he said. The colle- ge ' s board of trustees requested delivery from the Selden post of- fice. Miss Bruno Presides Miss Frances Bruno presided over the meeting which was held under the auspices of the Farm- ingville Residents Association and the Farmingville-Holtsviile Civic Tax Payers Association , Inc. In her opening statement she said the civic units are fighting for the \ prestige \ of Farmingville. \We have been denied the one facility within our bounds , \ she said , \ capable of granting us p lanned growth. The college was taken away from us by the sign- ing of a piece of paper by per- sons far removed from our com- munity. \ Miss Bruno is president of the taxpayers ' unit.
