Town Board Plans A Major U pzoning As Brake To Mass - Building P rojects Acre-Plot Zones In 82 Areas Seen As Boon To School Dist In probabl y the most si gnificant zoning action since the adoption of 'Isli p ' s first ordinances in 1928 , the Town Board will consider , next month , the upzoning of some ei g hty-two parcels of land , involving thousands of acres in all parts of the townshi p. Tuesday the Town Board adopted a new zon- ing classification \Tri p le A\ which is designed to restrict residential building in the ei g hty-two zones to acre-size p lots with a minimum frontage of 150 feet. Total p lot size , in the \AAA\ zones must be at least 40 , 000 square feet in area. The new zoning classification will double the p lot requirement of the former top zoned \AA\ classification. The ordinance adopted Tuesday follows a public hearing last week at which no opposition was voiced b y citizens. Another public hear- ing will be held on Oct. 10 to de- termine actual sites to be af- fected by the AAA zoning. It was emphasized that the up- zoning will not affect homes al- read y built within the new AAA zones, nor will it affect persons who now own single lots smaller than the 40.000-square-foot re- quirement. Persons in the latter category may still build homes on the smaller sites. In some cases , areas which are already built up will also be up- zoned , so that if a home is de- molished for any reason , the lot can not be reduced in size for subsequent building. Several reasons were listed- for the upzoning. The Regional Plan- ning Institute recently released a stud y which shows Islip as due for a sharp increase in home building. In order to prevent an unreasonable density of popula- tion , which would affect water polution. police and fire protec- tion , sewage disposal , school taxes , and many other factors which creep into over-crowded Continued on Page 2 Barry To Take Over As Top Cop Named Commissioner To Succeed Thorn: Rivcrhead — A soft-spoken but iron-willed veteran in Suffolk!s government , 53-year old John L.

Thorn in the $18 ,000 a year post as head of the 800-member police force serving the five wes- tern towns of the county . On Jul y 12 this newspaper pre- dicted that Mr .

Monday by a 7-0 vote of the Board of Supervisors Mr. Barry was named to comp lete the term of Judge Thom who resigned last month to take a p lace on the bench. He will serve until March 17 , 1965 when the six-year term expires. The three Democratic members of the County Board abstained from voting. Board Chairman Arthur M. Cro- marty answered criticism of Hun- tington Supervisor Robert Fl ynn , Democrat who is running for Congress in the 2nd District , that FBI director J. Edgar Hoover should have been consulted be- fore a new commissioner was named. Mr. Cromarty produced a telegram from Director Hoover Monday in which it was pointed out that the FBI could not assist local officials in selecting top po- lice officials.

BARRY Pike Urges Mohawk Airlines Provide Service At MacArthur Suffolk Congressman Otis Pike has joined Islip town officials in urging that Mohawk Air Lines , one of the largest commercial lines serving the northeastern states , establish regularl y sched- uled service from town-owned MacArthur airport. Councilman Donald Kuss , chair- man of the Town Board' s airport committee has been working for over a year to induce the air line to include MacArthur on its schedule. Although Mohawk has been considering the move there has been no formal announce- ment of any contemplated p lans. Over a year ago this newspaper exclusively reported that the company was considering service here. Mohawk would provide direct and rapid access to key airports in Albany , Rochester , S yracuse , Mr. Kuss .Mr. Pike Buffalo and other cities in the New England States. At present the company uses facilities at Idlewild Airport. Friday, Congressman Pike , in a letter to Robert Peach . Presi- dent of Mohawk said that he felt that the airline \ would profit b y the inclusion of MacArthur Field in Mohawk' s schedule \ . He said that he knew that \there are many business and professional peop le on ' Long Is- land who would be delighted to use an efficient airline service from Suffolk County \ . At present a small air line operates from MacArthur on a limited schedule to a few cities. \I would like very much to see Mohawk app ly to the Civil Aeronautics Board for permission to include MacArthur Field in its schedules and I assure you of my complete cooperation in bringing this proposal into be- ing \ Mr. Pike said in his letter.
