The board's ?>c*inn came after it received a report by Village En gineer Marcus Prytherch on the approximate co<=t of ha\ ing the street extended. The board had in structed Prytherch to make the study after 13 residents of High St. petitioned to have the road way extended. In his report. Pry-then h stated that the proposed Wood St. which would make High St. a through street, would ha\e a \minimum proposed grade of 14 per cent*' and cost about $7,000. He said 53 500 would be for excavation and $3,500 for new road construe tion. \With a new alignment for the street.\ Prytherch said, \the grade would be approximately 10 per cent and the total cost about $8,000.\ The village is planning to con struct Wood St. sometime in the future However, the residents of the area asked that the street be completed now even though it be maintained as a dirt road at pre sent The residents had asked the board in their petition to \correct conditions that could prove seri ous and quite disastrous.\ They were referring to the fire hazard that they say exists on the High St. 500-foot extension, which is a steep hill that runs north and south off Thorn Ave. The petition ers live on the extension. Since the High St. extension is a dead end street with only the steep hill as an access, the residents consider it a fire hazard. The street that they want built wou'd run from High St. to Wallace St. Freeze on Building Permits In Windmill Farm Thawed ARMONK- The North Castle Town Board will rescind its freeze on building permits and certificates of occu pancy in Windmill Farm, officials said Tuesdav At the request of the County Health Department, the board had adopted a resolution at a special meeting on Thursday banning the permits until the health authorities were satisfied that the water sup ply is adequate The Health De partment has since filed a letter with the board withdrawing its ob jections, based on submission of a statement filed by an engineer for the Windmill Farm Water Works Co. The engineer's statement showed that the water supply is adequate for present needs and for two pro posed new subdivisions. In addition, a map of the water distribution system was filed with the health authorities. The developers plan to erect a storage tank sufficient for one day's needs in the develop ment by June 1. I960. Reuben Chase, attorney for the water company, said last night that the company is considering going ahead on plans to finance the pro ]ect on a term of less than one year which will not require the consent of the Public Service Com mission.

Albert Marchigiani defeated Re publican Edward Salvato for Jus tice of the Peace by 122 votes. Marchigiani, a Bedford Hills at torney and chairman of the Bed ford Democratic Committee, was making his third try for the of fice. Political observers attributed the spectacular victory to Marchigi ani's personal popularity and a split in the Republican ranks that caused party leaders to drop vet eran Judge J. Franklin Ryan and replace him with Salvato. Ryan, who had been police justice since 1922, ran against Salvato m the Republican primary but was de feated. Hart Runs Strong Another Democratic candidate. Patrick J. Hart, made a strong showing, although he did not win Hart polled 2408 ballots in his spirited bid for a seat on the Town Council, only 236 fewer than Town Republican Chairman A. Ross Jones, who was electee) to the Council along with W. Harold Crane. All other Republican candidates won handily, Supervisor Douglas L. Barrett leading the ticket with 3,351, closely followed by Town Clerk William J. Millmore, with 3,348.

Hall, a Mount Kisco contractor, was appointed build ing inspector on Monday by the Village Board by a 4-1 vote. He will assume his duties Monday. Mayor Betty Potter seconded a motion for the first time m her three years on the board. Sue said she did it to \bring the issue to a vote\ and because \I think he is qualified.\ Trustee Joseph Bondi had made the motion for Hall's appointment. Trustees Roland House and Ed win Lancaster also voted for Hall. But Lancaster noted he voted Veterans Day To be Marked MOUNT KISCO- On Wednesday, Nov.

Lancas ter added the man had the \exper ience and qualifications of a man I would like to see break into the job \ Mack was the lone dissenter on the board as he announced he would \have to subordinate my desire to get a man in the vil lage whose qualifications are unique.,' Mack said the candidate \edu cated and trained\ as a building inspector and was making the field his career. Cites Important Duties \I think it is more important to be qualified than to be locaJ,' Mack declared, \and since the zoning laws in the proposed Master Plan will require con siderable work, I feel we need a man specially trained to handle the job.\ Mack disclosed that the man he wanted named to the post was now working as a building inspec tor in the department of a city of about 80,000 population. Hall will take over a post that has been vacant since last spring when Arthur Hayman retired. The job also requires Hail to be the plumbing inspector, fire inspector and assessor.

Mack report ed Monday night to the Mount Kis co Village Board that his commit tee studying the zoning laws pro posed in the village's Master Plan could be expected to complete its job within 10 days. Mack said that one phase of the study, which is being made in two! parts, has been completed. He ex plained that the committee was ready with its report on the zon ing map of the Master Plan but that it was still working on the new zoning laws. After the committee completes its study and makes its recommen dations to the Village Board, a public hearing will be set on the rezoning proposed in the Master Plan. When the \Blue Print For the Future\ is officially approved by the Village Board, all development in the community will be along the liness called for in the plan.

Barrett Silent on Vote Upset KATONAH— It was the morning after an unprecedented election that saw the Democratic Party make its first break-through in a half - century of Town of Bedford polit ical campaigns by electing Al bert V. Marchigiani as one of the town's two justices of the peace. Eighty-eight year old E P. Barrett who for more than three decades led the GOP to victory at the polls, carefully studied elect/on results but had little to say about the outcome. His son and successor as supervisor, Douglas L. Barrett, had been re turned to office by a 600 vote majority and the long ruling Re publican Party had retained control of the town council by reelecting one councilman and electing another for an unchal lenged 3-0 majority on the board. However, the fact that the opposition had been success ful in electing but one of its can didates was seen throughout the town as a major triumph for a hard struggling band of politi cal die-hards who refused to give up despite continued setbacks at Bedford polls at elections on town, state and national levels. The former GOP political chief declined to comment when ask ed to what he attributed his par ty's surprising defeat in the race for justice of the peace. His only observation was that he hadn't followed the campaign closely enough to comment on the outcome. He did say, how ever, that he did not believe the GOP Primary fight for the J. P. nomination had brought about defeat of Edward Salvato, town committee designee to succeed incumbent J. Franklin Ryan who had entered town politics about the same time E. P. Barrett launched his long career as a public official. Nierenberg Wins as J.P. Over Adams CHAPPAQUA- Democratic supervisor candidate . Edward Fox on Tuesday won back by more than 500 votes the post he lost to Republican Arthur Green by 50 votes in 1957 in the New Castle Town election. The vote was: Fox, 3,091; Green, 565. One other Democratic candidate won in New Castle. He was David Nierenberg, an attorney, who de feated Henry A. Adams for justice of the peace by 24 votes. Adams had held the post for 20 years. Fox, former mayor of Mount Kisco, polled 507 more votes than Green in the three Mount Kisco districts lying wihtin New Castle his own in the other seven dis tricts to gain the victory.
