Courts Back Bottle Ban,
But Burke Asks For More
Oyster Bay Town Supervisor
'John W. Burke, this week
presented to the Nassau County
Board of Supervisors copies of
the Prince Georges (Maryland)
County Circuit Court decision
upholding a ban on no-return
bottles along with copies of Judge
Loveless's order vacating his
own original decision.
"In considering Supervisor
D'Amato's proposed ban on non-returnable
bottles, " Burke
stated, "I want my fellow board
members to be fully cognizant of
the recent actions in the City of
Bowie (Maryland) case/'
"Although the proposed
Nassau County Ban has merit,"
he added, "it would still only be
dealing with less than 3 percent of
the more than 1.4 million tons of
solid waste we generate in the
county each year," he added.
The Oyster Bay Town Super­visor
again called for support on
both Federal and State levels of
legislation providing for across-the-
board tax of a penny a pound
at the manufacturer's level on
the weight of all articles that
would be disposed of as solid
waste, with the exception of food.
Such a bill, proposed by Senator
William Proxmire of Wisconsin,
is now before Congress.
"I have asked Senator Frank
E. Moss, Vice-Chairman of the
Sub-committee on the Environ­ment,
to notify me of the next
round of hearings on Senator
Proxmire's bill so that I may
testify before the Sub­committee,"
Burke revealed.
Explaining that to the best of
his knowledge, New York City
has been the only municipal cor­poration
thus far invited to
testify, Burke argued that "in my
view the input of the Town of
Oyster Bay—the second largest
township in the United States—is
as relevant as the views of the
New York City administration."
Water Commissioners Hear Plan
For Turning Sound Into A Lake
A provocative proposal for con­verting
Long Island Sound into a
potential fresh water reservoir
was presented to the Long Island
Water Conference at its meeting
Monday, Mar. 6 in Bethpage. The
meeting was held at the Holiday
Manor.
The proposal was presented by
Anthony Pansini, who was the
principal speaker at the Water
Conference meeting. Pansini,
engineering and management
consultant of Waco, Texas, told
how it is feasible to dam up Long
Island Sound at both its eastern
and western extremities which,
in effect, would convert it into a

Delegates' Selection Process
fresh water reservoir.
Pansini's plan envisions a deep
sea port at the extreme eastern
end of the Sound; construction of
a 17-mile dock facility and a
transportation network con­necting
Long Island with New
England. He estimates the entire
project to cost a half billion
dollars.
Seven trillion gallons of fresh
water a year would be available
to Long Island from the New
England watershed because of
rainfall, he claimed, illustrating
his remarks with maps and other
visual aids.

Marino Bill Would
Limit Lten Abuse
State Senator Ralph J. Marino
(R-E. Norwich) has introduced
three bills in the Legislature that
would permit tighter control of
mortgage and tax practices
conducted by banks and mor­tgage
service organizations. .
Marino, Chairman of the
Temporary State Commission to
Investigate Mortgage Frauds
and Tax Lien Sales, formulated
the program following an in­cident
in which 200 Nassau homes
were scheduled for tax lien sales
because their mortgage agent,
John D. Roake and Son, Inc. of
West Hempstead, Long Island,
failed to forward payments to
local tax authorities.
The first bill will halt such
abuses by requiring the State
Superintendent of Banks to audit
the records of mortgage service
firms at least once a year. The
provision is now required only for
banks.
A second bill requires
registration with the Secretary of
State of any person or mortgage
service organization handling
escrow deposits on behalf of

ethnic groups and sexes among
convention delegations.
"At this point we do not know
how many delegates and alter­nates
from Nassau will be
chosen," DiPaola and Cristenfeld
said, "since we don't know if they
will be chosen on the basis of
congressional or state senatorial
districts." ^H
