In a separate interview* , how- ever , Village Republican Leader Bernard Burton said the all-Demo- cratic board ' s decision to raise salaries would become a campai gn issue in the coming village elec- tions to be held Marc h 21. Mr. Burton said the village GOPers were conducting a suivey in the village and with over 1 ,200 households already visited , he said , the maj ority favored a small in- crease (**15 to 20 per cent\ ) but not doubling the salaries. Mayor Robert T. Waldhauer pointed out that Patchogue has been a first-c ' ass village for many years , yet the boa rd members have received a salary equivalent to that of board members in a third-class village. He added that in many cases it was found that the trus- tee would spend more vf his own money in the elective post than he made. In another matter lief ore the board , the mayor conducted a heated debate with a taxi driver and his lawyer over whether the village should give the man a li- cense to pick up passengers in the village.

Flynn of Huntington , was immediately in- terpreted in some quarters as a knockout blow to the entire $68 , - 420 , 000 program drawn up by Mal- colm S. Spelman Associates , con- sulting engineers. This interpreta tion was strength - ened by East Hampton Supervisor William P. Bain ' s statement at the board session that his town has definite plans for the development of its municipal airport and \ wiD not countenance interference by any outside agency. \ The Spelman report calls for county acquisition of the East Hampton airport and its expansion at a tota l cost of $4 , 000 , 000.
