As of Nov. 1, 1973, the main operating facility will be located in the old Lincoln school *n Massena Alter months of hassling, the Board of Supervisors, meeting in special session last Thursday night. authorized the laboratory's Board of Managers to execute a contract with the town and date, and that adequate parking is available Gouverneur Supervisor Don Compo, who had been expected to take a strong stand in favor of utilization of the State Supreme Court building in his town, for the lab facilities, said he had reservations regarding the'cost of updating the Lincoln school facilities to install lab equipment, and would prefer the Gouvemeur village of Massena for a five-year site, but in the end he supported least for three rooms on the second floor and one room on the grownd floor of the Massena school Massena Supervisor Bennet Abrams led the discussion, fielded questions and explained the terms of the lease, which lists a total of 3,311 square feet of space at an annual rental of $3.50 per foot or ju^st under $12,000 a year r There had been talk of pur- chasing the structure at a —reportedly agreed - upon price of $10,000 Apparently the town and village of Massena reneged on this proposal after the school district, which transferred the school to the two governmental units for $1.00, criticized the proposed sale to the county lab. \We are not trying to take advantage of the county of St. Lawrence\ Mr. Abrams told the supervisors and the score or so of visitors at the session. He added i he suggested rental fee would just about take care of main- tenance costs. The decision was reached by unanimous action, after about two hours of discussion* and debate, much of it centering around the physical condition of the Lincoln school, which some speakers described as very poor, with water problems on the lower level, roof deterioration and other problems The lease which was authorized provides that the town and village of Massena will provide all normal maintenance ac- tivities; that the Board of Managers may terminate the lease with a one year notice, <at any time after the anniversary United Fund 27 per cent toward goal *ln the first report to be received. a total of M.H05 has been collected, according to an announcement by Joh» ( trapser, area chairman of the Joint solicitation for the IH7I annual support program of the K. J. Noble Hospital of Gouverneur and the United Way of St. Lawrence County. This figure represents a 27 per cent step toward the goal of $17,825 for the Gouverneur area. the resolution recommended by Dr. Weston, speaking for the labs Board of Managers \After all\ stated Mr. Compo, \we appointed the Board of Managers and I support their recommendation.\ Mr. Compo pointed out that any discussion of rental fees should include the fact that the building in Gouvemeur will have an an- nual maintenance cost of $9,000, even though it may be empty. This should be added to the $12,000 rental fee when con- sidering total cost, he believes. Other speakers indicated that the Gouverneur building, which will be vacated when Supreme Court Justice Edmund Shea moves his quarters to Ogden- sburg, could be made ready for the lab on two weeks' notice. The Lab had to be relocated by Oct. 31. according to their agreement with the Central St. Lawrence Health Services, who want the space for their private lab. Speaking for the Lincoln school site, Dr. Weston declared it an \ideal location, since many of the personnel are drawn from the Potsdam - Massena - Winthrop - He e add F ed a that two highly plans underway skilled technicians would not go with the lab if it were to move to Gouverneur, and insisted it is extremely difficult to attract such skilled workers to this area. Both he and other speakers indicated the bulk of the lab testing comes from Massena hospital, which they advanced as another strong reason for con- unuing in the Massena section.
