What i.s go ing to happen in Orangetown. for instance, where there is a late prediction that the pop ulation of that town alone will be 100.000 by 19B0 and not the >ear 2.000 as previously pro dieted?

A New York Press Service Feature By ALEX RANKIN mg the requirement for pro po.sed laws to be given to the legislators at least three days before' passage. The .suit charges that no such emergency existed and that all 79 bills, including the entire .stale budget and the New York City lav budget, were passed in this ■illegal\ lashion. It is unlikely that the courts will overturn the acts ot the Legislature. But the suit may lx* a warning to the governor's legislative managers that such higli-h.mded tactics will back lire sooner oi later, prefer ably .soont'r. School Buses For .Seniors? All State Laws ‘ Illegal ’ A lime-honored device tor ramming bills through the .State Logtslaiure has been challenged in court The Civil Liberties Union has filed suit charging that 79 bills passed at .Albanv m 1971 violate both slate and nalionai Constitu lions. Gov Kockeleller sent the laws under emergency 'mes sages of necessity\ eliminal PUNCH LINE OF THE WEEK Lawyers Feast On Penn Central The public now has the all- loo-fumihar picture ol what happens in a bankruptcy. The lawyers and bankers move m and pick the carcass clean. The Penn Central Railroad, now In bankruptev. vvill .sell for $.59 million six parcels ol real estate at Grand Central Terminal in New York Cllv This IS consirieved some ol the most valualile real estate in America. The sum reali/ed will only be a drop in the bucket in the massive tinancial troubles ol I the railroad. Anri once the properly is sold, it will no longet return income and pro (it to the railroad. An asset of continuing value will be gone forever. In the meantime, the law yers and the bankers will all have got their \cut\ politely called eommi.ssions and fees. •And the courts will sanctimon iously approve every step ot the downward course into what may well liecome a deep er financial .swamp for the be leaguercd railroad. Mid-Town Mayor Congressman John G. Dow has prodded the Federal De parlmenl of Transportation to reverse il.sell anil considei' a study to use .school buses for the elderlv I ’ reviously the Department said the law' would not permit it. Mr. Dow commented. \It is tiagic to think that many ol our older eili/ens slay at home toi lack of transportation while school buses sit idle dui ing some hours of the day. mghls. weekends and suni mers. There are many legal and practical questions that must he answered before such a program could be started. Bui I think a Department ol Transportation study should clear many of these away.\ Budget Squeeze And Sidewalk 'I'lit- Dpuiiing ol McDonald's in tile \cry noai future will add to the hazards of pedes trians alnnft Routt- 9W from the A. & P, to Sumsondaic. Haver.straw' vill.agc controls a small portion of the area where .sidewalks should be built: We.st Haverstraw the larger part: the state controls the road. The road is essentially dan gerous. There have been countless accidents involving vehicles in the short stretch, and several fatalities in recent years. Up until now only a few in cidents involving pedestrians have occurred. With the vol ume of traffic along the high way, there is an ever present danger to pedestrians. From now until January is the worst time of the year for pedeslri an-auto accidents. Some united community ac tion might be .started that would have safety sidewalks installed before this danger sea.son gets here next year. CARD OF APPRECIATION We would like to express our deep appreciation to all who helped us iO any way at the lime of receitt fire. We are es pecially grateful to Supervisor Rotella, the S. W. Johnson Fire Co., all of the Haverstraw Town Policemen, the ladies of the WSCS of the Garnerville Meth odi.st church. Dr. Marquise and friends and relatives. God bless Mrs. Mabel Hurd and While the reapporlionment maps are still locked up in a secret room, it appear.s thal Republicans will iiicrca.se theii control over tlie State I.cgisla ture next year because ot pop ulation shifts in Manhattan and Suffolk County. Suffolk County, Republican has gained population, Manhat tan. Democratic territory, has lost population. Result: More GOP seats in tile state Senate and Assembly alter the special reapportion- menl session convenes in Al bany next month. Equal Population The Joint Legislative Com mittec on Reapportioiimenl. now working on the maps, will try to get as close as possible to an equal number of persons in each of the state's 150 As sembly and ,57 Senate districts. While the 1.50 Assembly seats are fixed by the slate constitu lion, the numlx;r of Senate seats could go up lo 60. What is Equaliiy? Exactly equality means 121. 608 persons in each Assembly district and 304,021 persons in each Senate district, based on 1970 census figures. Republicans now- control the Assembly 79 to 71 and the Sen ate 32 to 25. Some committee members say Congressional reapportion James A. iNiehtJson, Village Resident Jainuij A. Nicholson.
