Statute l equires county o fficers to be legal residents of the county, he pointed out. After County Executive H. Lee Dennison had commented : \But we must set up the department and get it operating, '' Supervisor Cro- marty asserted the wisdom of es- tablishing a firm legal basis for the coming campai gn to attract desirable industr y to Suffolk. Pending determination of the legal questions involved , he said , an ex- ecutive can be named to head the department and other steps taken to make it operative. Of the 12 members of the com- mission , four are listed as non- residents , although several of these have Summer homes in Su ffolk. They are Thomas M.

State Asks Bids On Fire Island Bridge Erection ALBANY — Construction of a bridge which will link Captree State Park with the western end of Fire Island is a step closer to reality. The New York State Public Works Department this week announced that bids will be opened next month for construc- tion of the * 4 , 232-foot-Iong span. The inlet bridge will be similar to the Captree State Parkway Causeway Bridge and will be lo- cated south of it and south of the traffic circle at the intersec- tion of Captree State Parkway and Ocean Parkway. The bridge will have a two-lane , 26-foot wide roadway with walkways on one side. The Public Works Department said it will open bids February 23 on construction of the $2 , 760 , * - 000 substructure of the span. The $10 , 000 , 000 project has been in the planning stages for more than three years. Completion of the bridge is expected in 1964. The bridge would mean that motorists would be able to use the span to drive directly to Fire Island State Park from Jones Beach along Ocean Parkway or f rom along Captree State Park- way. At the present time , drivers must park at Captree State Park and ferry across to Fire Island. The only Suffolk County road link to the Great South Beach is the Smith ' s Point Brid ge at Shir- ley, which is situated about 30 miles east of Fire Island Inlet.

Archbishop lakovos Leads Hellenic Center Services GROUND-BREAKING XT^m Hellenic Cultural Center took place Sunday at St. John ' s Greek Orthodox Church , Blue Point. His Eminence Archbishop lakovos , primate of the Greek Orthodox Church of North and South America , officiated. He was assisted by Arch- deacon Philotheos and the Rev. Constantine Theodore. Archbishop lakovos , primate of the Greek Orthodox Church of North and South America , arriving from Washington , D. C , where he offered a prayer at the Presidential Inaugural ceremony, celebrated the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom Sunday at St. John ' s Greek Orthodox Church , Blue Point. He was assisted by Father Constantine i heodore and Archdeacon Philotheos. Des- pite the snow , parishioners and friends filled the church to capa- city coining from as far as Mon- tauk Point. Immediatel y following the Di- vine Liturgy, the archbishop led a procession from the church to the site where a Hellenic cultura l center is to be built , and conducted the ground-breaking service and blessed the crowd with Holy water. In spite of the sub-zero weather, enthusiasm ran high and continued to the grand banquet which was held at the Republican Clubhouse in Blue Point the same evening. Suffolk County Executive H. Lee Dennison said that other groups should follow the example set forth by the Suffolk Hellenic com- munity which has made in one year unprecedented progress in its Suffolk expansion program. His Eminence the archbishop state d that St. Joh n ' s Church was the fi rst Orthodox Chu rch in North and South America to initiate \Th( Week of Greek Letters , Press and Radio \ by not merel y extolling verball y the virtues of education and Hellenic culture , but b y p h y- sicall y breaking ground for a cul- tural center. The goal for the cen- ter was partially realized when enthusiastic parishioners and friends contributed in cash and p ledges over $60 , 000. One of the highlights and yet sad moments of the evening was the fulfillment of a promise made by the late Mrs. Amalia Spiliotes , president of the Greek Ladies ' So- ciety of St. John , who died re- cently. Her son , M. James Spiliotes of Blue Point trave in her name a check for $1 , 000. Mrs. Anna Lagumis , well-known Patchogu e business woman , con- tributed her personal check for $1 ,100 in memory of her late hus- band and walked from table to table encouraging- all to contribute. Toastmaster duties were handled by Geoi-ge Kalivas. Chairman of arrangements of the day was Za- harias Zaharakis. Among the many dignitaries and gu es ts present in addition to Mr. Dennison were Consul of Greec e C. Migliaressis , Perry B. Duryea , Jr., state assembl yman , Supervi- sor Arthur M. Cromarty, Town of Babylon ; Tax Receiver Wilfred Paquette , Jr., Pete Poulos , recrea- tion director of the Village of Pat- chogue , the Rev. Richard C. Cha- pin of St. Paul' s Episcopal Church ; the Rev. Ral p h Monteleone of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel R. C. Church and Rabbi M. Kanter of Bay Shore. Telegrams were received from Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller , Arthur Levitt , controller, and Sni - ros Prodis , chairman of the build- ing fund , who is presently a pa- tient at the Grand Central Hospi - tal , New York City. CS 'Covering In ' Resolution Ruled Unconstitutional RIVERHEAD — Supreme Court Justice Fred J. Munder , in a lengthy decision last Thursday declare d unconstitutional a \Cov- ering-in \ resolution of the Suf- folk Civil Service Commission , made in December , 1959 , which protected the job s of about 300 town , county, and village employ- es who had never taken promo- tional examinations. Judge Munder ruled on the case of Lieutenant Bernard Gaiser , for- mer Islip Police chief , who con- tended the resolution should have protected him , as well as civil service employes. Lt. Gaiser , a policeman since 1930 , was appointed captain in 1955 , and then police chief in 1956. When the Islip force was incorporated into the county de- partment last year, Lt. Gaiser was transferred as a lieutenant , then provisionally appointed captain , and later named a division inspec- tor. He took the captain ' s examina- tion in May and failed , and in October was reverted to his per- manent rank of lieutenant. Through his attorney , Lt. Gai- ser asked Judge Munder to order the Civi l Service Commission and Police ' Commissioner Charles R. Thorn to rate him permanent cap- tain. He cited the \ covering-in \ resolution of the commission , which gave civil service statu s and protection to all employes work- ing since July 1 , 1955 , who had never taken civil service tests. The resolution was approved by the State Civil Service Commis- sion. County Attorney George W. Percy, Jr., claimed the resolution is unconstitutional because it vio- lates Article 5 , Section 6 , of the State Constitution , which states appointments and promotions in civil service are to be made by examination. Judge Munder agreed. He tos- sed out Lt. Gaiser ' s suit and ruled the \ covering-in \ resolution was unconstitutional. \A provisional appointment which is a stopgap or temporary appointment without competitive examination. . . can never ripen into a permanent ap- pointment , \ Judge Munder said. About 200 town and village em- ployes and another 100 county employes , all of them appointed by the Republicans , may lose their jobs because of the rulings. Many, especially in Brookhaven and Huntington Townships , are now under Democratic control. Once in a lifetime ! The finest workmanship at popular prices in Wedding invitations.

The board voted unanimously Monday to have Count y Executive H. Lee Dennison present the re- quest to Mayor Robert Wagner and Commissioner of Markets Anthony Masciarelli. The proposal is back- ed by the Long Island Farm Bu- reau, the Suffolk County Extension Service and the county ' s Advisory Agricultural Committee. The resolution offered b y South- old Supervisor Lester M. Albert- son also invites the assistance of the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets. It states that the board \has been advised that the old Wash- ington Street l ' ruit and vegetable market has been condemned, that the Bronx terminal market is to be converted into the New York City Fish Market and that the Farmers ' Square in the Bronx market is to be closed. \ The resolution further states: \This board has been advised that New York City has decided to use Hunts Point as the new fresh fruit and vegetable market, and that the city has no p lans to in- clude a farmers ' square in the new market. \ Suffolk Agricultural Agent Ho- race D. Wells and Kenneth Wells, Jr.. executive secretary of the L. I. Farm Bureau , agreed Monday that a farmers ' section at Hunts Point is of vital concern to Nassau and Suffolk vegetable and potato growers , and to farmers of the lower Hudson Valley and other areas. The Farm Bureau leader said that more than .100 Long Island growers , in response to a ques- tionnaire distributed recently, in- dicated willingness to rent space at Hunts Point for truck-side sales of fresh vegetables.
