Continued from page 1 , this section peisons tnrow cans and paper on property and the propel t y owner should not ha\ e to clean up this refu.se. \Who should be responsible?\ Baul Councilman Howard Row- land , chairman of the board' s sani- tation committee, heatedly. \There are many areas in the town where junk is piled on vacant lots. The tow n can 't clean them because the lots are private propert y and often the junk creates a hazard to child. -en. \ \The duty must lie p laced on someoin to maintain and keep propel ty clean . \ Mr. Lechtrecker said, \lt is loeical to place it on the owner. This is a fine ordin- ance. But the problem is in its eniorctment. Nobody is going to bring a court action for a piece of paper on 50 acres. The pur- pose is to try to get the worse hazards out of the way. \ Ml' . Reidy said there were 700 p lots in the town that needed to be clean- ed up by private property owners. The ordinance also requires businessmen to sweep clean of lit- ter the sidewalks in front of their business premises before 10 a. m. each day except Sundays and le- (4al holidays. Handbill Requirement Commercial and non-commer- cial handbills may onl y be dis- tributed by handing the handbill \directly to the owner \ upon pri- vate premises. This is to prevent the handbill from being blown about the private premises or on public streets. The amended ordinance also es- tablishes a Department of Sani- tation under the supervision and control of the Superintendent of Sanitation , who shall be respons- ible for the maintenance of town dumps and \for the enforcement of the provisions of this article. \ Enforcement of the ordinance is also carried out b y the Suffolk County police department. In the section on \Vehicle Re- quirements \ the ordinance re- quires that the licensee ' s name be painted on each side of the veh- icle \in lette rs at least four inches high. \ After a discussion Mr. Chapman suggested the proposed ordinance be change d to read \ not less than four inches \ so that persons will not have to paint over their letters if they do not conform with the requirement. During the hearing Mr. Reidy rcommended that the board delete Section 8 because of his objection to the part reading, \Nor shall any person drive or move any vehicle or truck within the town, the wheels or tires of which carry onto or deposit in any street alley or other public place , mud dirt , stick y substances , litter or foreign matter of any kind. \ Barraud Objects Superintendent of H i ghway . < Charles W. Barraud objected tc the town board' s resolution auth- orizing overtime on recent Sat- urdays and Sundays for insert- ing tax bills , levy sheets and re- turn envelopes. The resolution authorized overtime of $1.50 pei hour to the following persons- Ethel Westbrook , 60 hours ; Agnes Griffin , 28 hours ; Mollie DeGioia. 32 hours; Louis Garafola . 1~ hours ; and Paul Chappell , 16 hours. Mr. Barraud contended strong l y that it was \ not fair \ to pay overtime to the persons , when, he said , the board did not permP him to pay overtime to highway department engineers for snow removal work and required tha * he give the men time off for the hours they worked. Authorize Settlement The board authorized Specia ' Town Attorney George E. Lech- trecker to negotiate a $930 settle- ment with Mrs. Marcellus Le- Page of 2 North William Street North Patchogue. She sued the town in 1959 for $50 ,000 damages- and her husband sued for $15 , 000 damages after Mrs. LePage suf- fered a chip fracture of the righ' heel and a severe sprain of the right ankle on the sidewalk on East Main Street and Bay Ave- nue , Patchogue. Her attorney is Ernest Maler of Patchogue. Mr , Lechtrecker exp lained that the town was responsible for th r crack in the sidewalk on which she caugh t her heel since the town is responsible for maintainine sidewalks along state highways. OK Garden Apartments- Following a public hearing the town board approved a change of zone from \C\ residential to \D\ residential to permit the appli- cant Emjay Properties , Inc., of Hicksville to build garden apart- ments with 272 units in Port Jef- ferson Station at Piedmont Road 1 , 500 feet west of Route 112 and southwest of the Lace Mill prop- erty. The petitioner was represented bv William Dranitzke of the Pat- chogue law firm of Dranitzke & Lechtrecker. He said one-quarter of the units would be studio apartments , added that there was a \ need\ for garden apartments because of the State Univei*sity at Stony Brook which is under con- struction , and said there would be a \ neg ligible \ number of children who would not create a burden on School District 3. At the hearing Mrs. Adol p h Sorli , a director of the Port Jef- ferson Station-Ter^vville Civic Association , Inc., disagreed that there would be a small number of children. She presented a letter signed by Joseph Busa , associa- tion president , stating the group ' s opposition to the \downzoning. \ School District 3 has the high- est tax rate in the Second Super- visory District. For 1961- '62 the tax rate went up from $8.49 pei $100 of assessed valuation in 1960- '61 to $10.70 , an increase of $2.21 At the request of Councilman Frank Coveney. Jacob Stein , Em- jay president , explained the firm had revised its previous applica- tion from 304 to 2^2 units . TV garden apartments will be con- structed in stages of 68 units each on a total of 14.3 acres of land for slightl y more than $2 , 000 , 000 , Mr. Dranitzke said. Each two- story building will be 40 by 85 feet with eig ht to 10 apartments , depending on their size , and con- structed of masonry block with brick facing. One on-site parking space will be provided for each apartment. The board set a public hearing for December 26 at 2 p. m. on an ordinance to regulate parking on Lakewood Street from Medford Avenue to a point 300 feet west and on the south side of Lake- wood. For the first 125 feet stand- ing would be permitted and for the rest of the distance parking would be prohibited. The board authorized George Lechtrecker to offer Attorney Doug las Brown , now residing in the Virg in Islands , $300 for his services given in l958- '59 when Ocean Bay Park and Seaview were investi gating the possibilit y of setting up a joint garbage dis- t\ict. The attorney submitted a bill of $1 , 000. The $300 would be \barged against the Ocean Bay Park Refuse and Garbage Dis- t rict. Through an agreement be- tween Brookhaven and Islip Towns an incinerator will be built to ~erve both Ocean Bay Park and Seaview. Town Adopts Plaque Honors Continued from page 1 , this section ^ oncemen wul direct traffic at j usy intersections and also sup- plement the village patrolmen during the pre-hohday shopping days. Fire Department Chief Thomas N ewham , in his report , noted that J ohn Paiente , a lireman of the department , was on leave while in the service. Patchogue Village Recreation Director Pete Poulos reported that two recreation commissioners , the director of young peop les work of the Refoimcd Church in America , and the recreation director oi Ardsley, had written him asking f or inf ormation on Patchogue Village ' s Teenage Emp loyment program directed through the rec- reation department. Mr. Poulos informed the board that this pro- ject had bf*en written up in a state leereadon journal. He also rt ported that all Christmas dec- orations were up and the village would be distributing toys to needy families in the near future. The Patchogue Choraleers , under the direction of Paul Hauser of Patchogue Junior High School , will be making their annual tri ps .o the various installations in the town to spread Christmas cheer to those less fortunate. The schedule will be released through the rec- reation department. Trustee Donald Schneider an- nounced that the first of the new series of lighting projects on streets in Patchogue has been com- p leted with Second Street fully Ruminated b y new lights supp lied by the Patchogue Electric Light Company. Public Works Superintendent John Belzak stated that with the arrival of the new snow-thro at- tachment for the village equi p- ment , Patchogue is now prepared for the Winter snows , when they come. Also , the arrival of a new Pay loader will speed up the work of his department , he said. Public Hearing Continued from page 1 , this section negotiating a lease with William iriorzer lor a store at 183 South vjteuii A\enue , .Patcnogue , to be used by the Brookhaven Town In- dustrial and Advisory Committee at a monthly rental not to exceed $100. Previously, the committee nau oinces in tne Patchogue Ho- tel. In further action the board ap- pointed George ixoiaaa oi .. Ma- ple Avenue , Patcnogue , as assis- tant recreation director at a sal- ary of $2 per hour , effective De- cemoer 9; appointed Constance Agnes Maher of Port Jefferson Station as a part-time seasonal clerk in the town tax office at a salary oi $10.75 per diem , ef- fective December 7 , and appointed Mrs. Ruth Hamm of Pennsy lvania Avenue , Medford , as a part-time stenographer in , the town clerk' s office , ettective December 8 , at an hourly rate of $1.75. At the meeting Miss Laura Ebell , town historian , introduced to the board two exchange teach- ers. Supervisor August Stout , Jr., extended a welcome to Miss Grace Auchterlonie of Dundee , Scotland , who is teaching at Bellport High School , and to John Sharp, a tea- cher at Bayport High School. He presented to them plates with an inscri ption showing the town ' s commemoration of the American Civil War. Referred to Councilman John Young and the Hagerman Fire Department was a letter from Hunter Metal Industries , Inc., of 19 Hewlett Avenue , East Patch- ogue , petitioning the town board to permit installation of a water h ydrant closer to the p lant. Har- ry Stoll , firm president , said the nearest water hydrant on Robin- son Boulevard and Hewlett Ave- nue \is too far away from our plant. \ Yearly rental for a hy- drant would be approximately $50. \After having gone through a disastrous fire in 1957 , when our entire plant was completely des- troyed , \ Mr. Stoll wrote , \ you probably can understand our ap- prehension about this matter. \ He said the firm is a \ sizeable tax payer \ with an annual payroll of $250,000. In a letter Robert Cedar , Selden attorney, officially reported that the board of education of School District 11 declined at a Novem- ber 11 meeting to assume liability for a school bus shelter which the Centereach Civic Association wished to build on Marktree Road in front of a town sump. Earlier , the town board said it would ap- prove use of town land if the school board would cover the town with liability insurance. Morris Seuler of Associated Pru- dential Theatres , Inc., of Merrick wrote the board that the firm wished to register a protest against any fees which may be charged them for license renewals to operate the Coram Drive-in , Rocky Point Drive-In and the Shirley Drive-In Theatres. They asked that the necessary renewal forms be sent to them. \II is our opinion , \ wrote M T . Seider , \that these licenses , as defined , in Brookhaven Town Or- dinance , Group I , Article IV , are of a permanent nature and need not be renewed. \ The Long Island Lighting Com- pany reported that seven street lig hts were installed November 16 in the Ronkonkoma Lighting Dis- trict on Johnson Avenue and the parking field off of the avenue , and parallel with Ronkonkoma Avenue. Vaiiey National Bank of Ll , BeiSport Nat l Plan Merger It was jointl y announced by George Auslander , chairman of the board ol The Valley National Bank of Long Island , and Dey C. Dema- rest , piesident of The Bell poi t National Bank , that the respective boards of diiectors of both institutions have approved a merger , sub- ject to the approval of the shareholders of both banks and the Comp- troller of the Currency in Wash- ington , D. C. The expansion campaign of Valley National began in July I960 , when its merger with The First National Bank of Greenport (and Shelter Island) was an- nounced. In October of 1961 , Val- ley National consolidated with The Osborne Trust Company of East Hamp ton (and Montauk). In earl y November 1901 , the board of directors of The Valley Nat- ional Bank and The National Bank oi King s Park passed resolutions approving a merger of the two institutions. This app lication is being processed for submission to the Comptroller of the Currency and the shareholders of both in- stitutions. With the addition of the Bell- port office , the Valley National Bank , with its home office located in Valley Stream , will have 12 branches in addition to the home office (assuming successful con- suma..ion of pending mergers); with branches stretching from the v esterly end of Nassau Count y to the easterly end of Suffolk Coun- tv. Resources are estimated to then total $85 , 000 , 000. Tho entire board of directors of The Bellport National Bank has been invited to serve as an advi- sory board of the bank in order to pi eserve the relationshi p and pro- vide a continuit y of interest with the people in the Bell port area. Dey C. Demarest will become senior vice pre . -adent , Herman E. Chamberlain , vice president, and Gloria Lyons , assistant vice pre- sident , and they will continue The Valley National Bank' s operations in the Bellport aiea.

Because of this , a small portion (about 10 per cent) was left out. When the system is car- ried further , a new district will be created to accommodate the other 10 per cent of the township. ••W ILUOUL auequate disposal la- cilities the population explosion in our live west-end townsnips , will pieaent serious pioblems in. the public health , general econo- my, and , unJe&iiabie growth , \ the county executive asserted. \The overall aisposai p lan is im- perative , regardless of town lines , in order that trunk lines conform to natural drainage areas , \ he con- tinued. He said the surveys , when com- pleted will also establish contin- uit y in pipe line gradients , deter- mine the most feasible locations for treatment plants and disposal outlets , set up a guide for district area s , md provide accurate infor- mation for future housing and zoning development. Mr. Dennison submitted a length y, comprehensive report on the need for sewage disposal in Western Suffolk , which was pre- pared by the county health depart- ment and department of planning. The report is a study ot present sewage disposal problems , and a basic outline of an overall sewage p lan. Copies of the report are available and may be obtained from the planning department in Hauppauge. The resolution adopted Monday, authorizes Mr. Dennison to apply for the loan from the Federal Housing and Home Agency, to furnish to that agency all requir- ed data , and to hire consultants to carry out the surveys. Inda-ectly, Mr. Dennison will be getting his county tax map, at Itasi, ior Western Suttolk , as the resolution states that the loan is also to be used for \ all necessary engineering and studies , including soil investigations, topographic and p hotogrammetric surveys, and preparation of plans and speci- fications , reports and other docu- ments , as applicable to public se- wage and waste disposal. \ Mr. Dennison advanced the plan last Spring, along with the pio- posal for a county tax map, but the programs were shelved. In ur- ging the tax map, Mr. Dennison at the time said it would be vital in the establishment of a sew er system. After the meeting, Mr. Denni- son confessed to reporters he was worried that the program might not get board approval. \I didn 't know w h e t h e r the resolution would be approved or not , but I had hoped lor it , \ he said. He termed the board ' s action \ an in- telligent decision. \ The county executive declared \This is a red-letter day for Suf- folk. \ He said the preliminary studies may take 18 months , and that the overall-long range pro- gram may be in the woiks for 25 years. \But it must get underway im- mediatel y, \ he declared. \About 90 per cent of Suffolk' s popula- tion is in Western Suffolk and the count is growing every day. \ Mr. Dennison said he hopes to establish a sewer authority, under the public water authority, with one agency taking care of both public water and sewage plans. The county executive asserted that the \threat of contamination of our ground water supp lies by sewage is the greatest problem Suffolk has ever faced. \ He said that sections of the townships of Islip and Babylon are in \ imme- diate need of sewage disposal sys- tems. \ \Another reason for immediate action , \ tl e county executive de- clared , \is for the protection of our shellfishing and fishing indus- tries and the recreational waters. \ He has proposed legislation pre- pared setting up the County Wa- ter Authorit y as the agency for the sewage disposal progra m , and will seek its passage in the com- ing legislative session.
