Marino Hits Back at
Master Plan Charge
Councilman Ralph J. Marino
this week charged Democrat Supervisor
Michael Petito with carrying
out a politically - imspired
and calculated attempt to wreck
the preliminary Master Plan
drawn up by the Town's Bipartisan
Planning and Action
Commission in advance of the
program's being placed before
the people of the Town for their
involvement, discussion and recommendations.
Marino said Petito has full
knowledge of the Stillman contract,
which calls for 250 bound
volumes of a Master Plan, following
a series of public hearings
scheduled to be held in the north,
south and mid- island areas of the
Town, as well as special sessions
with other local jurisdictions
covered in the proposed Master
Plan.
Marino accused Petito of
political chicanery in trying to
blame the Republican Majority
of the Board for a Master Plan
which is the productof the Town's
Bi- Partisan Planning and Action
Commission and has yet to be
adopted by the Board. " We have
had considerable experience with-
Petito's political ploys and costly
lawsuits over the past three and a
half years, every one of which
he has lost," Marino said,
" I can only conclude that this
latest gambit of Supervisor Petito
has been carefully designed to
sabotage the Bi- Partisan Commission's
plan before it gets off
the ground. We will go ahead
with the program to conduct
public hearings so that the people
may learn what is involved in
planning, developing and finally
adopting a Master Plan."
Call Meet To Discuss
Town Athletic Fields
Town Supervisor Michael N.
Petito has issued a call to all
officials of leagues within the
Township to meet at 8 p. m. on
Thursday, September 7th at Town
Hall to discuss ways of improving
playing conditions on athletic
fields throughout the Town.
Petito said he had received a
number of complaints about the
ball fields and expressed hope
that the conference would provide
a cross- section of proposals from
all over the Town which would-improve
the fields for little-league
baseball and football activities.
Petito said that while complaints
on field conditions will
be brought up from time to time,
he feels that the Town must increase
its effort to keep these
athletic facilities in the best condition
possible.
Petito also pointed out that
while many of the fields in use in
the Town are under school district
jurisdiction, improvements at
Town fields will create better
conditions for little leagues at all
levels.
