Joseph Vitelli New Vilhge Ckrk Blood Drive
The Incorporated Village of
Lynbrook Board Meeting was
held at The Community Bank,
15 Atlantic Ave., Lynbrook on
Monday, June 15, 1968 at 8:00
p.m. After an invocation given
by Father Moore of Christ
Episcopal Church in Lynbrook,
the Mayor of Lynbrook, Francis
X. Becker explained that he would
have to leave a bit early to at-tend
a Testimonial Dinner given
his brother, Robert, who is
retiring as President of Cere-bral
Palsey after a two year
term in office. The important
matter of the task of filling the
post of Village Clerk of Lyn-brook
due to the resignation of
Ernest Hansen was brought up
next by Mayor Becker. He ex-plained
that after much time
spent in trying to fill the post
with a capable well qualified
man he was pleased to submit
the name of Mr. Joseph Vitelli,
a resident of Lynbrook since 1912
to fill the position with a salary
of $15,000 per year. A back-log
of necessary work must be
tackled as soon as possible at
the village office with Mr. Vi-telli
starting in his post on
July 15th. There was a great
deal of discussion on the filling
of the post of Village Clerk, with
Trustee Benjamin Rashkinques-tioning
Mr. Vitelli's qualifica-tions
for the job and asking for
at least a one week delay in
filling the post. Trustee George
Xydias also called for a delay
in order to interview the can-didates
for the position. Mayor
Becker stated that he and
Trustees Buzzeo and Arndt had
already spent a great deal of
time on the matter and that he
Joseph Vitelli
was forced to the conclusion
that no purpose would be served
by any further delay and that a
decision was necessary im-mediately,
in order to have an
efficient and workable vUlage
office as soon as possible. Mr.
Vitelli was elected to the post
of Village Clerk in a 3 to 2
resolution with Mayor Becker
casting the deciding vote. A res-olution
to hire two trained ex-perienced
consultants to aid in
reviewing the village office pro-cedures
and to aid the ViUage
Clerk in his new post at a fee
of $1,000 for a period of 4
months was passed and two
former Valley Stream officials,
now retired were hired more
or less as skilled volunteers.
Former Village Clerk Carl Kap-
By Annette Ling
pauf Of Valley Stream and Mr.
Anthony Becher, former Treas-urer
of Valley Stream were of-ficially
retained to aid inworkinj
out the best procedures for an
efficiently run Village office etc.
A Public Hearing was then
held on an Amendment to change
the Zoning Ordinance on con-struction
of any new two family
houses and the reconstruction of
one - family dwellings to two-family
dwellings in Residential
Zones A" and "B".
Mayor Becker stated that these
changes were in order to up-grade
Lynbrook as the ratio of
two family homes had steadily
been increasing and they were
not called for to such an ex-tent
in Residential Zones "A"
and "B." With no persons
against this change in the Zoning
Ordinances and most in attend-ance
very much in favor of the
change, the new Zoning Or-dinance
was passed restricting
and prohibiting any more two-family
homes in the Village of
Lynbrook or reconstruction of
one-family dwellings to two-family
dwellings. This ordinance
effective in about two wee':s
time brought out the fact tiat
we now have 67% one-family
houses and 33% two - family
houses in Lynbrook. Mr. Joseph
Vitelli's resignation from the
Zoning Board was accepted. The
Mayor's Beautification Advisory
Committee had recommended the
public commendation of two Lyn-brook
business firms for their
maintenance of beautifully kept
kept business or industrial build-ings.

The Hempstead Town Park De-partment
today ground out details
of a free service, starting July
2, to bus residents to Town pools
and beach.
On Tuesdays, Wednesdays and
Thursdays, through July and Aug-ust,
with the exception of July 4,
busses will zigzag through the
Town's various communities,
following 11 routes, to deliver
passengers to swimming facili-ties
by 10 a,m. and leave on r e -
turn trips at 3:30 p,m.
Presiding Supervisor Ralph G,
Caso estimates that 40,000 r e s i -
dents chiefly the young and the
aged — will use the service.
The route covering Lynbrook,
Malverne, and Lakevlew to Point
Lookout Park and Beach is as
follows:
Franklin Avenue -Corona Ave-nue
9:31 AM, Franklin Avenue -
Wheeler Avenue 9:33AM, Frank-lin

Caso said detailed route maps,
listing pick-up points and time
schedules would be distributed,
in the near future, through the
mails on request, and in the
Town's park and recreatiorf
areas.
The program, he contended,
would insure maximum use of
all Town parks which offer swim-ming
and would relieve mothers
of daily shuttling of children to
beach and swimming pools.
He noted a substantial upswing
in seasonal pool memberships
since the program was announced
last month.
Routes were worked out by the
Town's six councilmen whose
intimate knowledge of neighbor-hood
areas helped in deciding
most convenient pick-up points.
