Lakeland Expects A Deficit LAKELAND— From now until the end of the current school year, the mem bers of the Lakeland Board of Education will be watching the till closely and guarding against expenditures for projects which might not be of dire necessity. Business Manager Charles Run- die told the board last week that under the current financial trend, the board can expect to run into a $5,000 deficit at the close of the school year. No Alarm The board deals in the big money bracket in operating Cen tral School District No. 1 and the news of the probable $5,000 defi cit did not cause great alarm. But the members of the board were glad to be informed of the financial status ofihe district and they commented that it would be best to keep expenditures to the minimum. \Our. budget is not in good shape,\ said Mr. Rundle. \A number of unexpected items have caused several categories in the budget to run over.\ Mr. Rundle added, however, that 95 per cent of the additional expenditures were necessities ov er which the board had no choice. For Example* \There are a few functions that are mandated,\ he continu ed, \You have to educate the children.\ Mr. Rundle explained that the deficit does not mean that the school district is running that far in the red. \We have the money but not the authority to spend it. This deficit would not show on next year's budget. It would show up on our report to the state that we spent $5,000 more than we were authorized to spend.\ Church Sets '63 Meeting And Lunch MOUNT KISCO— Members of the Mount Kisco Methodist Church will have a fellowship pot-luck luncheon on Sunday in Halstead Hall at 12:15 p.m., following the 11 a.m. ser vice.

By ROGER LeCOURS .EWISBORO— The .director of the $848,251 ur ban renewal project slated for Goldens Bridge is anxious to know what the ramifications of the recent decision by the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads on the turbulent Route 87 hassle will do to the town's project which now awaits approval from Washing ton. Claude E. Monlux, renewal di rector, said last week that be fore he can determine to what extent the renewal plans will be affected, he will have to learn what the actual decision on Route 87 is. Mr. Monlux said he read a newspaper account on the U.S. Bureau of Public Road's decision approving construction of the long - debated Interstate Route along the Chestnut Ridge align ment between Armonk and Ka- tonah. Not Clear \I don't know exactly what the decision is,\ said Mr. Monlux \I haven't seen or heard any thing official. I read the news paper account, but didn't under stand it completely.\ The Goldens Bridge urban re newal project has been on the planning boards since April of 1961. A study conducted with $29,- 600 from a federal grant initiat ed the project. The original plan has been changed considerably and some of the alterations were due to the possible development of Route 87 along Route 22. The original plan' included the 12 acres located on both sides of Route 22 and embraced all of the built-up area and the Gold ens Bridge railroad station. A new alternate plan involves only the six-acre tract on the east side of the highway. Recreation Land The decision by the U. S. Bu reau of Public Roads is all- important to the renewal project. Several reliable developers re portedly have shown a great in terest in the area and if the Route 87 decision does not, in fact, eliminate the west portion of the plan, this area will be used for the construction of various rec reational facilities, according to Mr. Monlux. Mr. Monlux said that it was his assumption that Route 87 was to eventually be completed all the way to Brewster. \Assuming that it does go clear up to Brew ster,\ added the renewal direc tor, \it is my understanding that it would go between Route 22 and the railroad tracks at Gold ens Bridge. \I don't know if that's the plan,\ Mr. Monlux continued, \but if it is, that portion of our renewal project would be taken up by Route 87.\ End In Katonah? Repeating his confusion over the announcement of the deci sion on Route 87, Mr. Monlux stated, \By reading the article Propane Blaze Still Under Investigation MOUNT KISCO — Investigations into the cause of the Jan. 2 Suburban Propane Gas Co. fire that killed a night watchman and destroyed a truck are still underway and lo cal and state officials are un certain, as to when the reports will be available. William Bigglow, manager of the safety department of the Propane Gas Co., said wait Friday the company will wait until-the completion of the cor oner's report before releasing results of their investigations. Speaking from the office of the Interstate Commerce Com mission in New York City, Thomas Williams said yester day that the commission is for bidden by law to release any results from investigations con ducted by that office. ON SNOW SHOVELING Your Westchester Heart Assoc iation says: Snow - shoveling is strenuous exercise. If you're young and healthy, shoveling may be a good workout for you; If you're over 40, take it easy. If you have heart disease, don't shovel without your doctor's ap proval. Home Instruction Request Causes Lakeland Dispute GOES ON TOUR KATONAH— Kirsten Falke, the daughter of Mrs. Irene Martin Walmer of Cantitoe Road, will play with the Oberlin wind ensemble in its annual tour which started yes terday. Kirsten, in her second year with the tour, will play in the percussion section of the group from the Oberlin (Ohio) College Conservatory of Music. The ensemble will play at Carne gie Hall in this year's tour. LAKELAND— The Lakeland Board of Educa tion will ask the State Education Department if it is legal for a public school district to provide home instructions to a student who is enrolled in a non-public school. The board voted last week to ask for a ruling upon the insist ence of Trustee Andrew Hoist who demanded that the ruling be obtained \straight from Albany\ instead of \second-hand.\ Specific Case What instigated the question was a request submitted to the board by Alan J. Knipe of Water- bury Parkway, asking that home instructions be provided for his son, James, a second grader, who will not be able to attend school until March because he is recuperating from a broken right femur injury. The youth is en rolled in a parochial school. The board's business manager, Charles Rundle, and Dr. Dan iel Woolfe, vice-president of the board, cited a similar request that had been made in the York- town school district but was re jected because it was^ deemed ' 'unconstitutional.'' \This is all screwy,\ countered Mr. Hoist. \Why do we provide them (non-public schools) with health services then? It's all turn ed around.\ Other members of the board explained that the health services were based on a mandate but that there was no such legal provision for home in structions to students who are enrolled in parochial or private schools. Pushes For Ruling Mr. Hoist, who adheres to his opinions with great tenacity, urg ed an official ruling. \This boy is in our district. Let's have a look at this,\ he said. \We've had many similar cas es where we've had home instruc tions up until a year or so ago,\ asserted Mr. Hoist. He added that if it was legal, the board should provide home instructions for James Knipe. The trustee's unrelenting plea for an official ruling won the board over and it was voted that a letter on the case be sent to the SED. North Castle Seeks Sewer Planning Aid ARMONK— The first step toward a sani tary sewer system in Quarry Heights was taken Friday by the North Castle Town Board. The board unanimously au thorized the filing of an appli cation with the federal Housing and Home Finance Agency for an advance of funds for public works planning. The Quarry Heights section lies north of North White Plains. North Castle, said Councilman Frank J. Milvaney, will pay nothing until the work is actual ly started. The advance will help defray the planning cost. The Housing and Home Fi nance Agency is authorized to make interest - free, repayable advances of funds to states, municipalities and other local public agencies to help finance the cost of plan preparation for specific public works projects, the board noted. Through this assistance, the program encourages • the main tenance of a current and ade quate reserve of properly plan ned public works which can readily be placed under con struction, the board said. The section to the east in Har rison is not included in the reso lution. If the advance is approved, the board said, the preliminary preparation will be done by the consulting engineering firm of Seelye, Stevenson, Value and Knect, which two weeks ago submitted its evaluation of the North White Plains water sys tem. you could interpret that the only thing they had officially decided to do was to come up as far as the traffic light at Katonah. They didn't say anything about the original plans to go up to Brew ster with it.\ Nevertheless, Mr. Monlux stat ed that Goldens Bridge would .still be left with the renewal 'acreage on the east side of Route 22. \That is assuming we will get federal approval which we expect to receive momentar ily.\ The federal government will pay for 75 per cent of the $848,251 costs and the town will split the remaining 25 per cent of the costs evenly with the state.

Leash Law Takes Effect March 1 PLEASANTVILLE— March 1 has been set as the beginning of a roundup of un leashed dogs within Village con fines, the Village Board an nounced at this week's meeting. The new ordinance, to be en forced by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani mals, calls for the pick-up of those dogs not on the end of a six-foot leash, and has stirred much controversy since its pas sage in Village Board executive session last November. Stating that he has not 100 per cent certain that this ordinance would solve the dog-at-large problem, Trustee Hoch Reid moved it take effect March 1. A request for a referendum on the whole matter by Bela Silard of 300 Washington Ave., was re jected by Village Attorney Ed ward J. Wren. Such a vote would be illegal if village funds were spent to hold it, said Mr. Wren. He call ed the new law \perfectly legal\ and within the board's discre tion. Under the chairmanship of Trustee John Fitzgerald, the board unanimously approved the date. The code will be published in final form before the dead line.
