District Attorney Berke has decided not to run again in order to devote full time to his law practice in Granville. He . has engaged in the gen eral practice of law for the past fifteen years and is a partner in the tyw firm of Berkowitz ahd Berte. r-^Bi^etrAttqmejt&rke indicates that-his decision not td“ % hard decision because he finds the districtattdrnfey -work . very interesting, challeng ing and rewarding.

He ncStes that he has found that the police officer’s of the various police ajgencies which serve Washington county are extremely competent, well qualified and fair. He thoroughly' enjoys trial work and the responsi bility of the district attorney position. However, District At torney Berke states, “The decision not to run again was ittitefit-difficult one.” He pqmtaout that in view of the^large volume of criaan#^!Ses^and the extreinely^great input that he hais; ia the criminal justice- system. in Wash ington comity, the'Wash- ingt^f^tlnty district at- torndy position has be- come%jpiTfcae job. law enforcement officers May 11 through 14.

Board wants bi-county sewer, water district^. A request that the state enact special legislation authorizing establishment of bi-county sewer and water districts in ^arren and Washington counties was made by the Wash ington county board of supervisors on May 12. The resolution, introduced by Supervisor’ Leon M. Layden of Kingsbury, was passed unanimously. Skybel m a n a g e r fined On Tuesday evening, \Robert Lam, file manager of the Skybel Tissue mill of Greenwich, pled guilty to a charge of littering before Greenwich Village Justice Loris Thompson. He has. been issued a summons for littering paper on Washington and Bleecker streets. Mr. Lam was fined $100 and charged to refrain from littering the village. He was fined $50 on the same charge April 20. The districts would be established in the towns of Queensbury in Warren county and Kingsbury in Washington county and would operate in a pro posed industrial park. The resolution is contingent upon the adoption of a similar request by the Warren county board. In other business the board earmarked S56.125 foT use by the county sewer agency to carry on projects set up last year. A $7,500 appropriation was made in 1975 to be used for study, design and construction of the sewer facility. The district in cludes the villages of Fort Edward and Hudson Falls and parts of the towns of Fort Edward and Kings bury. A portion of the money spent by the county in this project is reimbursable from the federal govern ment and the state de partment of environ mental conservation. Leon W. Collins of Fort Ana was Jnamed to the county Civil Service commission to replace Agnes Peterson in a split vote. -Supervisors Harold Gould of Fort Ann and Carl Lufkin of Argyle voted against Mr. Collins' appointment.
