Suffolk County Executive Klein objected to a charge that the county wasted $100 million constructing court facilities in Hauppauge instead of on surplus state lands at Pilgrim State Hospital in Brentwood. He labeled the charge "as in ine ."

Klein asserted that the report by John R. Curti, senior law assistant for the Suffolk Supreme Court, which pointed up several inadequacies in staffing and facilities in the county court system; was ill-prepared and poorly researched.

The 55-page Curti report prepared for the Casey Foundation, a nonprofit public service organiza­tion, suggested that newly develop­ed facilities in the Dennison Building in Hauppauge for the District Courts were already overcrowded and inadequate. Curti contended that there was space available on the Pilgrim property which could have been renovated at less cost and would provide greater court facili­ties.

Klein at a press conference said that the existing building at Pilgrim was inadequate, had only two

elevators, both of which were inoperative, and that the building had no heat.

"W e can put 720 courtrooms in the Edgewood Hospital building," Klein commented, "bu t they would all be six-foot by eight-foot and it would be a tough walk above the third fioor.” Klein said the county has not spent $100 million in building construction for all its needs in the last decade.

Legislator Sid Askoff (R-Babylon), chairman of the Judic\fil Committee in the Legislature, supported Klein’s remarks that the Pilgrim Hospital grounds would be inappropriate for court facilities.

However, he substantiated other facts of Curti 's report, which suggested there were prohibitive overloading of court calendars, injustices in the grand jury system and insufficient court personnel.

Klein also announced that the County Energy Crisis Office, which handled thousands of calls for assistance since it was created last December, will continue.

Paul Stoutenburgh of Cutchogue, Long Island, was recently named chairman of the North Fork Environmental Subcommittee of the Citizen Advisory Committee of the Long Island Sound Regional Study. CAC Chairman Roger Shope made the appointment.

Mr. Stoutenburgh, long active in local environmental activities, will advise the citizen committee of the Sound Study of the goals, values and attitudes of the people in his area.

Mr. Stoutenburgh is presently chairman of the North Fork Chapter of the Long Island Nature Conserv­ancy and vice-president of the North Fork Environmental Council, Inc. He recently won the highest award of the Nature Conservancy, the Oak Leaf, for his involvement in conservation efforts. Mr. Stouten­burgh also holds the Nature Conservancy’s Hermit Thrush a- warded for land preservation.

Stoutenburgh has taught a SCOPE course for elementary teachers, and an Oysterponds Ecology Summer Course.

The Long Island Sound Regional Study is a comprehensive planning effort of the Federal government and the state governments of New York and Connecticut, coordinated by the New England River Basins Commis­sion. The object of the plan is to find imaginative ways of providing a clean and pleasant Ixing Island Sound environment as well as continuing economic opportunity for all the region’s inhabitants.

Later this summer the Sound Study will produce a draft plan, which will be the subject of a series of public hearings in the fall. The final action plan will be issued in January , 1975.

The movies on Friday evening. May 31, a t 8:30, at Custer Institute will be an evening at the arts. The first film will be an Emmy award winner, a trip through one of the world’s great m useum s-T he Louvre, in Paris. The narration will be by Charles Boyer.

Next will be a film on some of the famous works of Michelangelo, showing the Pieta and The Sistine Chapel as well as comments on the Renaissance times. Finally we will see a film on Leonardo Da Vinci his art and science as well as his ability as an anatomist, mathematician and architect. This should be a very rewarding evening and all are welcome.

June 1, at 8:30 P.M. Dr. Hugh Stern, long-time member and frequent lecturer on astronomical and related subjects, will speak at Custer Institute on: “ Velikovky’s Worlds in Collision revisited.”

Twenty-four years ago a work by the then unknown author titled, “ Worlds in Collision” appeared and caused a sensation. Velikovsky maintained that in historic times the earth was repeatedly visited by major cosmic catastrophes. He believed he could with these until then unknown upheavals explain in scientific term s a great number of biblical miracles. While the general public made the book immediately a run-away best-seller the scientific community disagreed with practical­ly all V’s theories.

Recently there has been an attempt to revive interest in Velikovsky’s work and especially young people have flocked to his lectures. So it seems appropriate to subject his hypothesis to renewed examination, and Mr. Stern's talk promises an interesting evening. All are invited.

(Continued from Page 1)He too, favored land purchase and the budget as presented.

Joseph Gleeson, who said he favored purchase of land as a good investment was Ambiguous in his stand on the budget leaving listeners confused on whether or not he was accepting it. “ I may change my m ind ,” he said after saying he thought he was for it. During the individual time he presented his resum e and remarks covering "economy in schools, common sense and good judgem ent.”

Frank Pospisil committed himself to the land purchase but couldn’t state his acceptance or rejection of the budget. Acknowledging that relations between school related groups were far from harmonious in the past he stated he was “ free of any pressure groups.”

Budget Hearing Report'The 1974-75 budget presented by

the Southold School Board of Education Thursday night indicated a tax increase of $1.42 and a rate of S9.88 per $100 of assessed valuation. Revenues other than taxes are $860,600, the total *^o be paid by taxes is $1,808,100.

Most of the budget discussion created no challenges to what one on-looker later said " is a skimpy

budget .” As anticipated, salaries of both professional and non-profes- sional employees accounts for 55.6 of the total with expected cost of living increases hitting between 9 and 10% for the non-professionals and a two-year contract with a 10.4 cost of living increase.

BOCES came in for the usual share of criticism with comments "why not list all of BOCES so we can see it costs about $250,000” and the explanation of using a coded budget, as directed by Albany didn’t satisfy. Another bit of discussion centered around the pro-rated $4,000 item dealiiig with certification with an adamant member of the audience refusing to recognize the outlined necessity for constant, on-going certification which is open to anyone in the school district who has need of the service. Constant re-evaluation of credits and courses makes ii difficult, according to the chief administrator, Walter Cain, to relay to the facilities in Albany.

Questions centered around the number of phys ed teachers as relating to girls instruction and the number of students projected for 74-75, 1,070, drew comment on the student-teacher ratio as compared with other years.

Would Increase PopulationThere are in this area, at least

20,000 vacant lots which can now be built upon, and building on them would increase South Fork popula­tion by 300%. The Sunrise Highway extension would make this area a "bedroom community,” Twomey said.

The goals of the committee are, first, to obtain disapproval of the environmental impact statement now under consideration by the federal government, and second, to secure passage of an amendment to the state highway act, rescinding the authority of the state department of transportation to use any of its general budget funds for the design

prior to the budget hearing, the resignation of Edward Wilks was accepted effective June 30, 1974. The announced retirement of Mrs. Prince, under terms of her contract, was also accepted.

The conditions of school buses was discussed both at the Board meeting and later during the budget hearing. Bill Grigonis said the school bus regulations are tighter than the carrier with whom the school does business. Sunrise Coach Line, and he suggested their regulations be brought on par with the school. Two buses due for inspection in October may be replaced if the hearings and sentiment of the taxpayer so directs.

Budget categories taking the largest bite are regular day instruction which accounts for 55.6%, employee benefits, 14.4%, down from last year’s 15%; debt service 6.5%.

The sum of $10,000 remains from last year’s budget to be applied against the ’74-’75 figures.
