Former Trustees Treasurer Asked To Turn in Funds Supervisor . August Stout , Jr., Tuesday called upon Andrew A. E. Huskisson , former treasurer of the town trustees , to turn over $<> , - (H9.60 , which the supervisor said had been collected in November and December , 1959. In a p hone conversation , Mr. Huskisson , of Main Street , Port Jefferson , admitted holding the money in a bank under the trus- tees ' account. He could not recall the exact figure , but said it was in the \ neighborhood of $G , 000. \ Mr. Huskisson said the act of the state legislature establishing Brookhaven as a first-class town was \ unconstitutional\ and that the town trustees were still in power. Under the act , which became effective January 1 , 19(50 , the duties of the trustees were taken over by the councilmen of the town in its new category. Asked if he intended to make a test case of the constitutionality of the first-class town , Mr. Huskis- son said , \If I had the money, 1 would. I will stand on my con- stitutional rights. \ Mr. Huskisson had been treasurer of the town trustees since January, 1938. He claims he is not legally out of off ice since his term would expire in 19(5 1 under the former town status. Charles H. Dominy, Brookhaven Republican leader , agreed with Mr. Stout that Mr. Huskisson should turn over the monies tn the town. In hJK statement , Mr. Stout said that $3 , 151.UC, had been collected in November , 1959 and $.1 , 497. (54 Continued on page 6 , this section CC , Merchants Div. Move to 8 W.

College Opening Given Boost by Supers \Ne w App ropriations Made: RIVERHEAI) The Suffolk ' Board of Supervisors boosted the chances of a Community College opening this coming September by acting favorably Monday on fi- nancing and organizational pro- posals advanced by the new two- year college ' s board of trustees.

At the same time , the board paved the way for the permanent location of the college on the 127-acre tuberculosis hospital property by authorizing County Executive H. Lee Dennison to proceed with plans for the disposition of the sanatorium.

Opposing the board's motion was Councilman Howard Rowland , who saiii auer nis vote , \1 feel he (Mr. Stiriz) is a victim of circum- stances. \ Action was taken by the board on the grounds that the Patchogue builder had not fulfilled the con- ditions under which he had re- ceived the business zoning classifi- cation on June 1 , 1959. On Decem- ber 1 , 1958 he applied for the zon- ing change to build a shopping: center. Opposition to the petition was expressed at a March 25 , 1969 public hearing, but the zoning change was authorized by the town board subject to covenants and restrictions. In Tuesday ' s resolution pre - pared by Patchogue Attorney George E. Lechtrecker the board contended that Mr . Stiriz had not begun construction within one year after the zoning change as required by the covenant. Samuel I. Sloane of Patchogue , Mr. Stiris ' attorney, has argued that the con- struction requirement has been ful- filled because grading has been begun on the 28-acre site which fronts on the south side of Sun- rise Highway starting west of Phyllis Drive , Patchogue , and run- ning east 1 , 500 feet. ___^ Advised of the board' s action, Mr. Sloane had \ no comment\ Wednesday until he could speak with Mr. Stiriz. \In the event that construction has not started , \ the covenant states , \ within the one year period , then tho land may be reverted to its original zoning classification , namely, 'C residence by motion of the town board. \ \There is nothing to indicate foot- ings or foundations on the proper- ty, \ Mr. Lechtrecker said in recom- mending that the hoard revert the Continued on page 4 , this section MB Group Hits Proposed County Bch .
