WE WOCLI) LIKE TO THANK PELCO for allowing Nick Fleischmann , safety man for PELCO to show film pertaining to respiration by the month-to-mouth method. It was a VATJ - in- teresting film to see and emphasized the simplicity of the method, whereby any person , child or adult , can administer artificial respiration without any fear of doing wrong. We would like to advise everyone who mi ght have the opportunity to see this film to do so. I believe any organization upon request from PELCO may be abl e to obtain a showing of same. WE ARE GETTING READY once more to have a series of refresher courses in first aid in the near future. A COMMITTEE CONSISTING of President Mike Ayelli , Vice President Fred Swczey, Secretary Harold Morpurjro , Treasurer Wally Rothe and James Leon met with the members of the Hagerman Fire department at their regular meeting August 11 to give in detail the method on how to begin the formation of an ambulance company. There were many interesting and very serious questions asked and answered even though it did not make the situation look so rosy. We can all appreciate the long hard row that must be hoed but with the growing population and the increasing demand for ambulance service we can readily see the need of each individual community obtaining its own ambulance. WE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE IT KNOWN that we shall always be available to hel p in any nay by answering any ques- tions pertaining to the groundwork on the formation of an am- bulance company. OUR COMPANY COMMITTEE on raising funds will prepare a contest soon for the benefit of the company which will be held in November at a regular meeting. We would appreciate your help. Thank you.

An ap- parent administrative mix-up in late Forties has resulted in controversy between Manorville Fire district and Town hall. Fire Dist. Tax Misdirected? M' ville Asks for Revenue: An alleged illegality which is depriving the Manorville Fire district of tax dollars is the ba sis of a dispute between the district , led b y Ernest Rol ph , president of the Manorville Taxpayers and Civic association , and Brookhaven Town. Mr. Rolph claims residents of a triangular tract within School District 21 (see map) are paying taxes to the Moriches Fire Pro- tection district when their homes are in the Manorville Fire district and the Manorville Fire depart- ment is putting out their fires. The stra n ge situation bega n in 1947 with the formation of the Moriches Fire district , which con- tained the disputed tract. It was dissolved when the State Depart- ment of Audit and Control ruled it could not function as a dis- trict since it had no fire house dr equipment. Then the Moriches Fire Protec- tion district was established , cov- ering the same area, and the con- tract for fire protection services went to the Center Moriches Fire department for .$1 , 200 per year. Brookhaven Supervisor Percy B. Raynor remembers that the Mor- iches Fire Protection district was formed at the same time the fire district was dissolved. Mr. Rolph disagrees , saying the protection district was formed one year later , in 1048 , and during that interim the residents of Manorville estab- lished a fire district which includ- ed the area within the boundaries of School Districts 21 (including the disputed tract) and 22 , por- tions of 31 and part of Calverton District 4 , all in Brookhaven town. The petition for the district was approved by the Brookhaven Town board and late r the state comp- troller gave consent. Both the resolution and the comptroller ' s consent made the Dongan line the southerly boundary line of the Manorville district , and that same line is also the southerl y boun- dary line of School District 21. The difficulty arises in deter- mining which district the disputed tract is within , and whether the districts \ overlap. \ Mr. Rol p h argues that when the Moriches Fire district was dis- solved in l' . <47 by the state , it no longer existed. For this reason a r.on-existing fire district could not claim any territory to pass along to a fire protection district that had not been established , he says , until about one year later. \The Manorville Fire district was form- ed before the fire protection dis- trict , \ he says , \therefore it could not have, overlapped any district that was already established. \If , by any chance , \ Mr. Rol ph continues , \the Town board of Brookhaven allotted the territory in question to two different fire districts , someone in Town hall must have ' goofed' and certainl y misrepresented the facts to the state comp troller. \ No matter what district the dis- puted tract is within , it appears residents are paying taxes to the Moriches Fire Protection district while the Manorville Fire depart- ment is putting out their fires. Though the Center Moriches Fire department has at times en- tered the disputed tract, Chief An- thony Michna said, last week the department has an understanding that the Manorville firemen are responsible for extinguishing fires in the triangular portion of land. Mr. Rolph says residents of the tract are paying 26 cents per $100 assessed valuation as the (ax late ir. the Moriches Fire Protection district , while residents of the Manorville district are paying ' AH cents per $1(10. Mr. Raynor has suggested to Russell Nodine , secretary of the Manorville Board of Fire Commis- sioners , that the district contact Douglas E. Brown , who was the attorney in the establishment of the Manorville district , and Sam- uel Rahson , attorney when the Moriches Fire Protection district was formed. Complaining that the \Navy- Crumman 'Lund Crab' \ has al- ready resulted in the loss of 7 , fi00 acres from the tax rolls , Mr. Rol p h said loss of tax monies, from thi' disrupted tract means the resi- dent taxpayer has had his taxes increased to make up for the rev- enue lost. Mr. Rol p h and Manorville civics make four demands of Brookhn- \en. First , that the Town Board of Assessors fix boundary lines to include the disputed tract within the Manorville Fire district; sec- ond , that the lines be corrected as soon as possible so 11)60 tax rev- enue will be paid to the Manorville district; third , that all taxes that have been collecte d and paid to the Moriches Fire Protection dis- trict be recovered and paid over ui the Manorville district; and fourth , that the state comptrol- ler should check and decide how this recovery of tax revenue by the Manorville district can be ac- comp lished. Mr. Rol p h concludes with the offer: \If the Town board would like to discuss this matter at a public hearing, we would be glad to appear in support of our claim and go over the town board' s rec- ord s and determine which district is entitled, to the so-called over- lapping area , but on one condition , that the state comptroller be in- vited to the hearing and give his views on the matter. \ Both sides are sitting quietly, waiting for the next move in this comp licated issue. And as a sage once put it: \The future lies ahead. \ Town Bd. Says CG Walk Onl y Path at FI Pines Acting on a petition signed by 88 residents , t h e Brookhaven Town board Tuesday ' designated Coast Guard walk as the oniy access across the. dunes to the beach in Fire Island Pines and authorized Highway Superintend- ent Charies Itarraud lo construct a load at that point. Vehicles are presentl y using Coast Guard walk as an access route , and Supervisor Percy IS . Raynor declared: \Left the way it is , it will become a hole and liie town will have to spend a lot of money filling it. We must take thi' bull by me horns and buiid at least one access road lo tile beach. Service and supply men need a truck route , also taxis , ponce and other emergency ve- hicles. \ The petition requesting the road followed another petition put be- fore tin- town hoard last week which opposed any road across the dunes , including the make- shift route now being used . Most objectors have houses along the right-of-way, and they complained about traffic noises , especiall y beach-buggies which roar by late at night. \The objections can ' t be helped , \ .said Mr. Raynor. \We need the road. In fact , we 'll probabl y have to provide one for each community on Fire Island. \ The board decid- ed to wait , however , until it is requested to do so b y the separate communities. \As for the beach-buggies , ' Mr. Raynor continued , \1 think there are twice as many this summer than last. Unfortunately, the town has no control over them. I hope the law can be changed. \ The town already owns a 20-foot ri ght-of-way along Coast Guard walk , according to Mr. Barraud. The road will be 12-foot wide with a four-foot walk. Mr. Barraud said the highway department could begin work on the road in September but allowed it mig ht be better to postpone construction until the spring, after the storms of the winter have subsided.

Mc RAE B ROS. 410 WEST MAIN STKEKT PATCHOGUE GRover 5-4200 Parkway Policemen Regain Duty Rating Lowered After Suit K I V K KIIEAD — Supreme Court .Justice L. Barron Hill last Thursday ruled that three Lone; Island State Parkway policemen , who sued the park commission and then had their performance rat- ings lowered fro m \ good\ to \fair , \ must have their ratings re-graded. In a brief decision , the judjre ordered the park commission to re-jirade the ratings of Sergeant Lawrence Czap l yski of St. .lames; Patrolmen John J. Smallwood of Sayviile and Francis Murray of Smith town. The trio brought their case to court , charg ing their ratings were lowered in retaliation for testi- mony they gave in a suit against the park commission. Also last Thursday, Official Ref- eree Charles S. Colden decided against the policemen in their suit. They had charged in the suit that patrolmen were doing sergeants ' work. Jud ge Colden said that while patrolmen occas- ionally performed sergeants ' du- ties, it was not often enough to warrant a finding in their favor.
