• * a
Schedule Hearing To Consider Library Employee Under
Giving Beaches To Government
Fire By Gorton
The Town Board will hold a
public hearing in Town Hall at
8: 00 p. m. on Tuesday, January 9,
to consider a proposal to deed
over to the Federal Government
Town- owned north shore beach
lands, wetlands and Oyster Bay
Harbor. The beaches included in
the proposition areStehli Beach,
Oak Neck Beach, Beekman Beach,
The Center Island Beaches and
Roosevelt Memorial Park Beach.
Board member Ralph J. Marino
said the Board is calling a public
hearing on this matter because
of the magnitude and far- rench-ing
effects this project may have.
He pointed out that millions of
dollars' worth of Town lands are
involved, as well as some private
property. He said he felt the
entire Town should have an opportunity
to be heard on this proposal
originally made by Con-ressman
Lester Wolff. He noted
that Town Attorney Bernard F.
McCaffrey had met with Interior
Department officials on October
17 and submitted to them a proposed
draft agreement for their
consideration. Marino pointed out
that the Town is still negotiating
with the Interior Department on
this agreement
The Majority Leader cited
some of the major questions
which he felt absolutely should
be answered before any agreement
is reached. If the Federal
Government manages this property:
Woul-' the Town beaches be
open to residents outside of the
Town; Would the Federal Government
regulate, control and
authorize taking wildlife, fish,
shellfish and othe^ products from
lands' and waters; Would they fix
and retain all fees for the use
of the beaches, docks, marinas,'
launching docks and all facilities;
Would the conveyance be made
so as to exclude the applicability
of the rules and regulations
of Secretary of the Interior to
these lands and waters and Could
the entire demised premises revert
to the Town if any part is*
used in whole or in part for any
purpose not provided for in this
deed?
Deeding all of this Town property
to the Federal Government
is one of the most important steps
ever taken in the history of the
Town of Oyster Bay and we should
have all of the facts on the table-before
a decision is made," Marino
said.

Farmingdale Public Library
Trustee Carl E. Gorton asked
the Board to hold a hearing on
library employee, Mrs. Hor-tensia
Stoyan, in light of the
District Court's recent decision
in Gorton's favor of an
assault case which Mrs. Stoyan
instituted. The Board said that
they were willing to hold an executive
session some time in
mid- January.
After the board meeting, Gorton
told reporters that he believed
that Mrs. Stoyan was " unfit
to serve the people of this
district". He said, " the false
charges she brought against me
in order to defame me" were an
indication of her character and
that she should not be permitted
to work for the library.
Library Director OrrinB. Dow
said that she was a valuable
employe. " She has all the competence,
creativity, initiative and
ability that you look for in an
employe".
Gorton said that he was skeptical
of the Board taking any
action against Mrs. Stoyan in
light of the fact that they had
given her a $ 1000 raise after
she had brought court action
charging Gorton with twisting
her arm in the library last August.
Library Board President,
, Robert Callahan said, " We're
not considering a resignation, but
we said we would talk about it
because of the court decision."
Last month, District Court Judge
Francis J. Donovan dismissed the
assault charges ruling that there
. had been no hostile intent by
Gorton. The encounter began
when Gorton arrived at toe library
with a portable tape recorder
to seek information from
employees. Mrs. Stoyan had testified
that she had grabbed the
microphone, that Gorton had
grabbed her wrist and that she
had taken Gorton's cane and
tapped' him with it.
Mrs. Stoyan was in the audience
of the Library board meeting
held Tuesday night at the
South Farmingdale Library
branch community room. There
were about 20 others in attendance.
In other matters before toe
Board, a report by toe Nassau
County Library system of technical
book processing was reviewed.
Callahan commented that
this service saves about $ 30,-
000 in labor and supply costs for
the Farmingdale library.
Gorton proposed a motion that
statistical reports by toe library
director regarding the
number of purchase requests by
library patrons be tabulated. Dow

said that in most cases the r e quest
was for a book or periodical
to be read which could be
provided by loan. The motion
did not receive a second. Later
during the period of public participation,
Edward Weiner of
North Massapequa, asked about
his request for purchase of a periodical
entitled, " U. S. A. Magazine".
Dow said that he had
reviewed it and thought that $ 20
a year was too much. Werner
saul that he would like to donate
the periodical. Dow said
that the library would accept it in
this case.
The Board also reviewed a
uniform code of procedure for
direct access by borrowers of
Nassau County member libraries
and authorized the director to
vote in favor of its acceptance
at a meeting of library directors
set for January 7. The
Board also reviewed a report
on the borrowing and loaning
pattern and noted that Farming-dale
library users borrowed
more from other libraries than
other library borrowers took
from Farmingdale. It was noted
that this was probably due to the
geographical location of Farmingdale.
It was also noted mat
the Nassau library system provided
foreign language books for
borrowing.
L. iDrary Director Orrin B. Dow
also noted that talking books
for the blind, or partially blind,
were now being offered directly
by local libraries in New
York State.
During public participation
a Dom Aiello of Bruce Lane,
Farmingdale, asked the board to
consider spending, in some other
manner, the $ 38,000 in the fines
and fees account for a future
building site rather than spending
this amount on the mezzanine
for the South Farmingdale
branch. He said that he objected
to the expenditure because the
building was not owned by the
library. He also said that Farmingdale
deserved a better building
than this " rinky- dink" library.
Trustee Paul Tilford explained
that the library board
was considering spending $ 38,-
000 for the additional 3,000
square feet for a nine year period,
remaining on the lease. Callahan
pointed out that the library
did have the option to buy the
building.
Library nustee Gorton asked
for a progress report on the
flag pole being added to the
central building. Dow said that
he would give the job to the
architect as soon as he had finished
other work for the library.

" I live in the country, and
every fall I look around and
see my neighbor's chimneys
smoking. I have some neighbors
who have oil h e a t . It
would really feel good if my
neighbors had clean gas heat
like I've had for 9 years— then
their chimneys wouldn't be
belching and I wouldn't be
getting that odor which hangs
close to the ground during fall
weather.
' AI feel very strongly about air pollution. I want
to be able to go out and take a deep breath and not
cough. I wish everybody had gas
heat. Gas burns more completely.
You get much cleaner air."
