Johnson , associate hydraulic engineer in charge of the Long Island office of the New Your State Wate r Resources Commission , held his last official bearing last Wednesday before his retirement December 31 , 1964 , after 38 years of serv- ice.

The authority has 1, 800 miles of mains ln service . Jes fire pro- tection facilities Include 11, 200 fire hydrants. Expanding rapidly to keep step with the county s growth , its cur- rent construction program calls for expenditures In excess of $10 , 000 , 000 during Its present fiscal year.

Cwfflwty Ur§if ixot. f® St&p Fighting ¥§ts 9 T QK immpthm BLUE POINT — Suffolk County Republican Chairman Arthur M. Cromarty urged County Executive FL Lee Den- nison today to \ start the New Year by making his peace with county veterans and to stop fight- ing their legitimate rights to tax exemptions. \ Mr. Cromarty referred to the pending county appeal against a Suffolk County Court ruling that the Suffolk Police District is not a special district and that veterans are entitled to exemp- tions from police district taxes. The GOP leader said : \Re- publican members of the Board of Supervisors recognize that to use county funds ln a con- tinued fight against what appears to be a legitimate claim would be improper. The county execu- tive and his county attorney should also recognize this and drop the pending court action. \ Mr. Cromarty said that when he was Babylon Town super- visor the town had continued to recognize veterans * claims for exemptions from the Police District tax , \ until directed by the county attorney ' s office to drop these exemptions. \ Veterans may claim partial exemptions at present from general municipal taxes , but are not entitled to exemptions from special district taxes such as those for schools. A veteran , John E. O'Hara of Huntington , sued the county last year , claim- ing that Suffolk was Improperly refusing veterans exemptions on police district taxes In the five western towns. He claimed that police protection is part of general municipal services. The county claimed that the police district was a special service district. Last March , Suffolk County Judge Thomas Stark ruled In favor of Mr. O' - Hara . The county has filed a notice of appeal. Mr. Cromarty said : \In- stead of continuing to fight this claim , the county should be seek- ing means of reaching an agree- ment with Mr. O'Hara and the thousands of other veterans who have been unjustly denied their exemptions. Rather than wasting money on additional court fights , the county should admit Its error and halt this evasion. \ The GOP leader added; \I would respectfully suggest that the county seek some means of settling this action. Under terms of the legal ruling al- ready rendered , it would ap- pear that some $2 , 500 , 000 paid for police protection by veterans in the years since the County Police District was estab- lished should have been subject to consideration for exemptions. Perhaps the county could reach an agreement with Mr. O'Hara and change its exemption pro- cedures without being liable in connection with the funds al- ready collected. \ law Suit Challenges Pi law Regulating Truths in Village RIVERHEAD — Supreme Court Justice John P . Cohalan , J r., has refused to dismiss a law suit filed by four Port Jefferson companies against the Incorpor- ated Village of Port Jefferson. The law suit challenges the con- stitutionality of an ordinance a- dopted by the Village Board last July 8 , which imposes a $10 license requirement for all trucks carrying sand , grave] , and stone through the streets of die village. Plaintiffs In the case are the McLain Dock and Stone Co ,; New York Trap Rock Corp., Davis Industries , and Adco , Inc. In arguments before Judge Cohalan last November , fhe plaintiffs ask- ed that the ordinance be declared unconstitutional , claiming It was unreasonable , and was an inter- ference with commerce. In opposing briefs , the vil- lage moved to dismiss the action , claiming the suit was premature because the companies had not applied for the licenses. In a decision published late last Wednesday, Judge Cohalan denied the motion to dismiss , pointing out mat sections of Vil- l age Law , while providing for licensing of some vehicles , have no specific provisions for licens- ing of vehicles transporting sand and* stone. \There is a serious issue as to whether fee act ln question violates Section 1694 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law which provides that local ordin- ances for licensing or taxing of motor vehicles are prohibited. \ The Judge ' s decision . In effect , means a trial of the con- stitutionality of the ordinance must be held , unless the law Is repealed by the village.

Ordirs SLA Reconsider Liq - Store i@l@€fifio§i § RIVERHEAD - Supreme Court Justice Jack Stanislaw , In sep- arate decisions made public late Wednesday, ordered the State Liquor Authority to re-consider its approval of fhe change of loca- tion of liquor stores from New York City to Suffolk County. Plaintiffs In the three cases were liquor dealers who claimed their businesses would suffer should the moves be sustained. In one action , several Port Jef- ferson area package store owners sought to halt the SLA- approved move of a liquor store owned by the House of Spirits , Inc., from 54-03 Northern Boule- vard., Woodside , Queens , to the Nesconset Shopping Center , Nes- conset Highway, Port Jefferson Station. In another , five Amityville package stores sought to halt the SLA-approved move of a store from the Bronx to 721 Broadway, Amityville. And in the third case , stores in Bay Shore and Brightwaters sued the SLA , seeking a reversal of its approval of relocation of pack- age store from Brooklyn to 1717 Sunrise Highway, Bay Shore. In each case . Judge Stanis- low , ordered the SLA to take further action and come up with f i nd i n gs , as to the convenience and advantage of the public , and possible damage to the plain- tiffs.

At a joint meeting of the Nassau and Suffolk County Board of Super- visors held Monday, Oy ster Bay Town Supervisor Michael N. Petito acclaimed the session as a milestone in governmenta l co- operation and predicted that a successful Bi-County Regiona l Planning Board would be a boon to homeowners in both Nassau and Suffolk . However , Mr. Petito tempered his enthusiasm for the overall concept of Bi-County Planning with a warning: \No planning of this size can be effective without the total cooperation of the towns and villages wh ich exercise major controls over zoning, \ The supervisor called forclose liaisoh between the towns and village s with the newly-pro- posed Bi-County Planning Board so that the board' s suggestions , plans and recommendation s would be implemented into an orderly program of growth over the next 20 years. \Unless this is realized , \ said Mr. Petito , \Our exercise here today is merely academic. \ \While a bi-county planning board will have far-reaching ad- vantages for both Nassau and Suffolk Counties , Mr. Petito said Suffolk County particularly can benefit by examining and avoiding the mistakes made over the years ln Nassau County before the crest of full population growth reaches Suffolk. The Oyster Bay su- pervisor directed a statement to his Suffolk colleagues warn- ing of oppressive high tax a- reas which resulted directly from a lack of proper planning in Nassau. Mr. Petito continued: \Let school districts all over Long Island know exactly where they are headed , both short- range and long-range. This is all-important in keeping tax costs at a minimum. \ In reference to today ' s bi- county-meeting of supervisors , Mr. Petito pointed to five areas where a proposed bi-county plan- ning board could assist residents of both Nassau end Suffolk. They include: the board could develop a plan wh ich will give com- munities better balance of homes and Industry and hence a more advantageou s tax base for the needed increases in services and school needs of the future; Pla n public transportation so that In the near future , fam- ilies in both counties can stop purchasing second and third cars which are clogging our already over-crowded highways. Mr. Petito pointed to his home-town of Oyster Bay as a prime ex- ample of an area badly in need of publ ic bus transportation. Regarding conservation , Su- pervisor Petito said both coun- tie s must act immediately to preserve wilderness areas and head off water pollution as well » as preserve the natural beauty of areas still rural in design. He warned against \ profiteers \ who would rob communities of natural resources through dredging. Avoid the \Recreation Gap \ already apparent in Nassau Coun- ty but still avoidable In Suf- folk. He emphasized the need for recreation services for youth due to the heavy increases in age groups under 18 predicted ' for the future yea rs of Long Island. Stimulate the economy and avoid slum encroachment. The supervisor said the bi-county planning board will have the ability to develop programs which can erase community blights in the area of housing, Mr. Petito said theabove po ints were the main reasons he cur- rently has before the town board a proposed master plan for the Town of Oyster Bay aimed at giving the town a solid program for the future. In conclusion , Supervisor Petito urged local government , towns and villages , to look towards adoption of a master plan wh ich will be keyed to bi-county planning concepts.
