Step Taken to Establish Babylon Park , Marina B y County Supervisors: RIVERHEAD—The Suffolk Board of Supervisors took the ini- tial step to establish a county park and marina in the township of Babylon last week by directing the county attorney ' s office to obtain appraisals on a 217-acrc parcel of undeveloped property on Bergen Point. West Babylon. The resolution , adopted b y an 8 to 2 vote on motion of Baby lon Supervisor Arthur M. Cromarty, also directs acting County Attor- ney George W. Percy. Jr., to en- ter into preliminary negotiations with the owners and to report back to the board \ as expeditious- ly as possible. \ The Babylon Town Board re- commended county acquisition of this property with its considerable fr ontage on Great South Bay some time ago. Filed with the board February 27 was the Suf- folk Planning Commission ' s en- dorsement of the proposal. The commission however' , re- commended a ceiling of S3.000 per acre on the purchase price , and there is considerable doubt if this property, much of which is owned by the C. M. Davison interests . can be acquired at that figu re. Supervisor August Stout , Jr., of Brookhaven and William P. Bain of East Hamp ton, both Democrats, cast the opposing votes on the Cromarty resolution. The Brook- haven representative toM news- men the proposition is too inde- finite , and Mr. Bain said his was a \ protest vote \ but refused fur- ther exp lanation. In the opinion of the p lanning commission . the Berjran Point tract, while it would require some fill , would be an ideal location fo • a marina , children ' s p lay fields, p icnic grounds, golf course and beach surf casting. In other action, the board ac- comp lished the following i tyems of county business: Formall y created the position- of executive secretary and secre- tarial assistant in the recentl y es- tablished Department of . Com- merce and Industry. The top post will be filled by County Executive II. Lee Dennison who said he will be guided in his selection by the non-salaried Suffolk Industrial Commission. Directed Public Works Commis- sioner H. F. Bishop to invite con- tractors ' bids for the remodeling of buildings at the former Suffolk Tuberculosis Sanatorium in Farm- ingville for the use of the Suffolk Community College. Two frame buildin gs are involved , and the approximate cost of remodeling them foe Summer school use is £50, 000 . according to Mr. Denni- son. Increased from $100 000 to $1.S5 , 000 the allocation of funds for the renovation of the former Board of Elections building at 24( Grilling Avenue , Riverhead/ and authorized Commissioner Bishop to award contracts not to exceed the latter figure. The building is to be occupied by the Suffolk County Extension Service Asso- ciation. Authorized the issuance of $25 , - 000 in county bonds to convert the recentl y acquired parcel of pro- perty on the northeast corner of Grifting Avenue and Railroad Ave- nue . Riverhead , into a parking field. Fire Service Amendment Proponents Not Giving Up Although Suffolk Executive H. Lee Dennison has pronounced a fire service amendment to the County Charter \ a dead duck\ and the p lan and its authors were virtually ignored at Monday ' s meeting of the Board of Supervisors , its proponents are not giving up. John J. Sherwood of Greenport , former president of the power- -fn l QndF>> ] L- r' . -Mint-i- Vnlimtn^ TT,..^ ^_ _i. w * ^. 'miv/irv ^uuui^ v MiuniCvI .L .l^r- men ' s Association , said he and other members of the 32-man committee which drafted the amendment are prepared to fight for its adoption. He predicted it will be supported by the majority of the volunteer firemen of the county once it is full y understood. Mr. Sherwood and several of his associates , including the coun- ty association ' s current president, George Heckler of East Islip. filed \Draft B\ of the proposed charter addition with the board Monday and then sat through the meeting, ready to answer any questions. They were not called on , nor was the amendment broug ht up for dis- cussion among the supervisors. ''Draft B\ , the rewritte n version of the committee ' s first effort, is admittedly a highly controversial issue in firemanic circles. The su- pervisors have received many let- ters protesting the p lan and few , if any, endorsing it. However. Mr. Sherwood said that in answer to a questionnaire recently sent to Suffolk' s 109 de- partments . 12 departments repre- senting 1.643 firemen have approv- ed the amendment while 14 units representing 1 , 021 men are op- posed. Eleven departments wrote in asking more information but did not express an op inion , either pro or con. Mr. Sherwood , chairman of the drafting committee , emphatically denied to reporters that local fire department s will be deprived of existing home rule rig hts or be subjected to po 'itical control . He also dismissed as fantastic a newspaper report that administra- tion costs will run to $500, 000 a year. According to Mr. Dennison. the annual out-lav would be near $50,000. In brief, the amendment would set up a minimum of 10 battalion districts, boundaries to be deter- mined by the Board of Supervi- sors. District committees would be set up, to consist of three dele- gates elected from each depart- ment. The chairman of the dis- trict committees would constitute the county fire commission and would be compensated on a per diem basis for their services . rates to be fixed by the supervi- sors. The amendment also pro- vides for a salaried , full-time county fire marshal with at least one assistant. The duties of the commission would include the operation of the firemanic training center at Yap- hank , to prepare a fire prevention code and ordinances , to make stu- dies of fire prevention needs and extensions , to work out p lans for inter - departmental cooperation and for the standardization of equipment. The fire marshal would act as the commission ' s executive officer and would also have power to enforce fire ordinances and in- vestigate cases of suspected arson With the enactment of the ordi- nance , the existing Suffolk Fire Advisory Board and the office of county fire coordinator would be abolished. Represented on the committee which drew up the amendment are the count y firemen ' s association. the several sectional associations the P'ire Commissioners Associa- tion , the County Fire Chiefs Coun- cil , the Fire Advisory Board and the Suffolk Vocational and Edu- cation Board.
