Vote to Deed RoadsTo B haven Township
800 Attend NSBPOA Meeting:
NORTH SHORE BEACH -— The North Shore Beach PropertyOwners' Association met Sunday and voted in favor of dedicatingthe association's 40 miles of private roads to the Town of Brook-haven.
The meeting, attended by "over 800 members," followed a disputebetween the town board and the J* association as to whether the pri-vate roads in North Shore Beach ,which belong to the organization ,should be turned over to the town.In December of 195!) , the town toldthe association that they coulddedicate the roads then , but aftera meeting by the group, the offerwas refused.
In September, the town boardissued an ultimatum to the NSB-POA saying that either the roadsbe dedicated by September 30 orthe town would no longer con-tinue maintenance on them. Priorto this , the town had maintainedthe roads and was reimbursed bythe organization. This procedure ,said Supervisor August Stout, Jr.,in a September release, was de-clared illegal by the New YorkState Department of Audit andControl.
Road service bv the town wasdiscontinued on Seotember 30.Last week the NSBPOA asked thetown board to provide for main-tenance of the roads until thegroup could hold a meeting andclear up the deeds on the property.
Before the general meetingSunday , the Road Study Commit-tee of the NSBPOA met withSpecial Town Attorney George E.Lechtrecker, T o w n CouncilmenHarold L. Chapman , Frank Covo-ney, John J. Foley, Superintendentof Highways Charles W. Barraudand Attorney Arthur Berger, rep-resenting the committee.
The general meeting was heldat Rocky Point School , RockyPoint , and was attended bv "over800" persons. The major i ty re-port , favoring the turnover of theroads to the town, was deliveredby William R. Robbins. The minor-ity report was presented by At-torney Nicholas .J. Ferri. Thenafter a question and answer per-iod , the question was voted on.
Harry Ash , president of the NSB-POA , said in a release: "An al-most unanimous demonstration in-dicated that the roads should beturned over to the town."
Mr. Ash also reported: "Thedissenting expression was tabu-lated by Colonel Braun to beContinued on page 6, this section
Ct. Rule May Cost JobsOf 300 Civil Employes
RIVERHEAD — A court action pending before Supreme CourtJustice Fred J. Munder , if decided in favor of Suffolk County, couldimperil the jobs of about 300 county, town and village employes ,who although they never took competitive examinations, were
covered-in last January.After hearing arguments Mon-
day from both sides , Judge Mun-der reserved decision.
Former Islip Police Chief Bern-aid Gaiser , now a lieutenant inthe Suffolk County Police , throughhis attorney, James Fallon , arguedthe "covering-in " should apply tohim.
A resolution adopted by theCounty Civil Service Commissionlast December , and approved hythe State Civil Service Commis-sion January 7, of this year, gavecivil service status and protectionto all employes employed since July1, 1955, even if they had nevertaken competitive examinations.Police were excluded.
Lieut. Gaiser , who has been apoliceman since 1930, was appoint-ed captain in 1955, and becameIslip Police chief November I ,195(5. When the Islip force was in-corporated into the county depart-ment January 1, Gaiser was trans-ferred as a lieutenant , and thenprovisionally appointed a captainat an $8,500-a-year salary. Later ,he was named a division inspectorat a salary of $1.0,000.
Lieut. Gaiser took the exam for
captain in May, but failed thetest. Last month he was revertedback to his permanent rank oflieutenant.
Attorney Fallon asked JudgeMunder to order the Suffolk CivilService Commission and PoliceCommissioner Charles R. Thorn torate him permanent captain. Hecited the "covering-in " resolutionapproved by the state , and con-tended that up unt i l this year,Lieut. Gaiser never had an oppor-tuni ty to take the captain 's exam-ination.
Assistant County A t t o r n e yGeorge W. Percy, Jr., representingCommissioner Thorn and the CivilService Commission , asked Jud geMunder to dismiss the suit.
Mr. Percy argued that the "cov-er-in " resolution , although approv-ed by the state, "is unconstitution-al , because it violates Article 5,Section fi , of the State Constitu-tion." The section requires all ap-pointments and promotions in civilservice be made according tomerit and fitness to be ascertain-ed by competitive examination ,Mr. Percy said.
He also charged the resolutionwas inval id and illegal because itviolates the rules of the CountyCivil Service Commission.
Dist. 11 Voters DouseSwim Pool Proposal
CENTEREACH — Voters ofMiddle County School District11 (Centereaeh-Selden) turneddown a proposition for a $280 ,000 indoor swimming pool by atall y of 1,281 to 177 last Thurs-day. The proposition needed atwo-thirds majorit y to carry .
In Selden , the "propositionwas defeated by 559 to 58,•while in Centereach the countwas 725 to 119.
The pool would have beenan additional wing on the jun-ior high school bui lding whichis to be constructed here inCentereach near Fortv-ThirdStreet and Marktvee Road. Itwould have increased the taxra te by 19 cents per $100 ofassessed valuat ion , plus an ad-di t ional 10 cents per $100 formaintenance , a Board of Ed-ucation spokesman estimated.
The boaord spokesman addedthat it was very doubtful atthis time that a similar prop-osition would be put to a voteagain.
Opposition to the propositionfrom its inception was expres-sed by the Selden TaxpayersAssociation.
Former TownHwy. BuyingMethods Hit
RIVERHEAD — A for-mer Brookhaven T o w nHighway f o r e m a n , whopleaded guilty November1 to shorting Babylon Vil-lage on deliveries of high-way materials, was given asuspended sentence, fined$500 and ordered to paythe village . $2,598, Mondayin Supreme Court here inRiverhead.
Justice Arthur Markewich im-posed the sentence on RudolphHahn , 58, of Route 112, Coram.Hahn pleaded guilty to one mis-demeanor count of "being grosslynegligent in the delivery of mate-rial." His plea satisfied two indict-ments charging him with obtain-ing proceeds of fraudulent audits ,fraudulently presenting bills forpayment, plus 14 counts of for-gery. The charges against AndrewHulsberg, 31, of Rock Road , Mt.Sinai , who had been on trial withHahn , were dismissed. Mr. Huls-berg had been a truck driver em-ployed by Hahn.
Special Prosecutor Edwyn Sil-berling alleged that Hahn , a for-mer supplier of road building ma-terial , in 1956, sold Babylon Vil-lage $5,000 worth of sand andgravel and billed the village for$10,000.
Stating that Babylon Village hadbeen cheated out of $2,598 byHahn , Judge Markewich orderedhim to pay it back within sixmonths or go to jail. He alsofined Hahn $500 and gave him anine-month suspended jail term.
Presentment Handed UpAlso on Monday, Justice Marke-
wich received a seven-page pre-sentment handed up by "Scandals"Grand Jury Foreman II. D. Turn-bull of Riverhead. After studyingthe presentment, Judge Markewichordered it filed and made public.The document severely criticizedBrookhaven Highway Departmentpurchasing practices for the four-year period 1954 through 1958, andthe Town Highway SuperintendentCharles Barraud.
Judge Markewich said the pre-sentment was a "real contributionto Suffolk County government."The judge said that if Mr. Silber-ling had been granted $239,000to continue the investigations in-stead of having his budget for1900 slashed to $115,000, and thenordered to "speed up " his probe ,a more complete report might havebeen accomplished sooner.
He concluded by stating, "If Ipossibly can , I will find some wayto see the investigation does notstop. I will do everything wi th inthe realm of my responsibility tosee that the work is not wasted."Although he declined to comment

Expect CountyTo Elect OwnCongressman
Under Congressional dis-trict reapportionment , basedon the 1 960 census, SuffolkCounty is expected to electits own congressman in1 962 and share anotherw i t h E a s t e r n NassauCounty.
Although Suffolk may gain aseat , the state will lose two seats,reducing its representation from43 to 41.
Reapportionment is the decisionof the state legislature and thereare no restrictions as to how theboundar ies of new districts willbe fixed. Based on the 1000 census ,each congressional district in thestate should have about a 410,000population. Each state's number ofrepresentatives is determined byits percentage of the nation 's pop-ulation.
Suffolk County has an estimatedpopulation of 000,000 and is there-fore entitled to a congressman anda half. This vill mean that a reap-portionment will combine the moreheavily populated West End townsof the county with an Eastern seg-ment of Nassau County to formone district. This would leave nineof Suffolk's 10 towns in the FirstCongressional District.
In the recent elections , Con-gressman Stuyvesant Wainwrightwas defeated , primarily because ofthe Nassau part of his district.

In regard to accepting the land ,the board said: "The town wouldhave to complete a town hall with-in 10 years of the date of thedeed of gift; if such town hallwas not built within the 10-yearperiod of time the property wouldrevert back to Mr. Leeds."

Councilman Willard E. Keddy,who was appointed by the board toinvestigate the offer, said: "Thisis an offer which I feel should beaccepted at the present time forfuture consideration by the towng o v e r n m e n t . A centralizationpoint of town buildings in anytownship is a point to be consid-ered and the Village of Coram islocated approximately in the geo-graphical center of the Town ofBrookhaven.
"I do not feel that we can takeany immediate steps to constructa town hall , but in a period of 10years, conditions may be such thatwe will need this property . . . tokeep pace with the expectedgrowth of our area."
