New Local Law Would Give Employees
Right To Serve Sumonses
Park Development
Gets Go Ahead
Councilman Ralph J. Marino,
Board Majority Leader, will ask
the Town Board Tuesday, November
21st, to set a public
hearing date for a proposed local
law that would give certain Town
employees the right to issue
and serve summonses " so the
public at large can be better
protected."
Marino said the new law will
strengthen the Town's powers
in helping rid various communities
of certain unsightly conditions,
particularly thosethathave
been noticed around shopping
centerso
" With the new power under the
proposed law, the Town will be
better able to protect the majority
of residents who are annoyed
by the filthy, unsanitary conditions
at some shopping areas,
loose dogs running at large,
thoughtless persons littering our
beaches and broken down shacks
posing as bonafide houses," said
Marino. " By adding to our enforcement
powers, we hope to
eliminate these causes of discomfort
to many of our residents."
The proposed law authorizes
specific Town officials to issue
and serve summonses to control
and seize dogs, to have owners of
business enterprises clear their
properties, to prevent littering
and destruction of beaches and
waterfront property and to force
owners to shape up abandoned
buildings to keep them safe
from curious children.
Under the proposed law summonses
will be issued by various
dog wardens and kennelman; the
sanitary services superintendent
and general foremen; bay wardens;
and various directors and inspectors
of the Department of
Building and Zoning.
All summonses will be returnable
to the Fourth District Court
in Oyster Bay. Fines could range
from $ 5 to $ 100 and there could
also be imprisonment for offenders.
Speno Bill Would Spell Out
Non- Public Student Services
Senator Edward J. Speno announced
that he was re- filing
bills to precisely define the
health and welfare services provisions
of the State Education
Law and his safe driver education
bill designed to permit equal
safe driver training of high school
students who attend non- public
schools.
" I have watched in dismay,"
stated the Senator, " arguments
which have developed within the
past week over certain ads running
in newspapers concerning
whether non- public school students
already had access to these
services. Assemblyman Bertram
L. Baker ( D- Brooklyn), who
will co- sponsor the bill in the
Assembly, and I became convinced
that the only effective
means to assure that children in
non- public schools will receive
these necessary equal health and
welfare services is to spell out
precisely and in detail the health
services vital to child development
and which will be provided
to all children equally. They are
psychiatric, psychological, social
work, guidance, testing and remedial-
instructional services.
We are both distressed by these
dishonest charges which seem
to imply that these services are
presently available forchildren
in the non- public schools which
they are not, except in some cases
after regular school hours and
during the summer months.
" The safe driver training bill
was designed to fill an obvious
loophole in our state- wide campaign
to establish safe highway
standards by granting permission
to give our non- public high school
students the same safe driver
training given to youngsters attending
public high schools. This
bill is so obviously in the public
interest that it is backed by the
American Automobile Association,"
The Town Board approved a
revised plan for development of
the tidewater John J . Burns Park,
Massapequa, which will provide
expanded recreational facilities
for the south shore, it was announced
by Town Board Majority
Leader Ralph J. Marino.
New plans are being drawn to
include a Little- League- sized
baseball field; two softball fields;
a wetlands conservation area; a
tots' playground; handball court
and tennis courts.
Marino said he hoped that plans
can be approved by the Board
soon so that bids can be taken for
underground workduring the winter.
This would include, additional
access roads, two parking
fields for 300 cars, water supply
and irrigation and cables for
lighting, including night lighting
for one or two of the playing
fields.
Three buildings will be constructed,
including an administration
building; a maintenance
building for the parks and beaches
department equipment and a
marine service building for gas,
oil and snacks. Much bulkhead-ing,
pavements and boat launching
ramps were provided in the earlier
authorizations.
Councilman Marino said the
work will be paid for from the
proceeds of a bond issue heretofore
authorized by the Town
Board. The Town will be reimbursed
by substantial state aid.
Engineers estimate that the cost
of the revised plan will be nearly
$ 1,000,000.

Councilman Ralph J. Marino,
Board Majority Leader, announced
plans to establish various
citizens comini'tees
throughout the Town to assist
in the development of a anal
master plan.
Marino said that committees
throughout the varied communities
of the Town would permit
full community involvement in
determining the final form of a
master plan to meet future community
needs and continue
orderly growth.,
Marino said that these citizens
groups would be comprised of
leading citizens that represent
the interests of the school, library,
fire and water districts,
and civic and fraternal groups.
Marino envisions these groups
using the preliminary master
plan as a guide for study and comments
on the development of the
various communities.
" With the preliminary plan
available, local officials and citizens
groups will have something
from which they can mak?
recommendations," said Marino.
" Without any written report, the
development of a final master
plan based on suggestions by the
community would have been virtually
impossible."
Marino said he hopes these citizens
groups would be operative
in several weeks to help Dr.
Edward J. Cook and his Development
and Planning Action Commission
go through the preliminary
plan and create a final master
plan.

Town Plans 4,500 Acre
Wetlands Expansion
The Town of Oyster Bay is
planning to enter a cooperative
conservation agreement with New
York State Conservation Department
to maintain all the remaining
4500 acres of wetlands in
South Oyster Bay, Massapequa, in
permanent conservation partnership.
Councilman Ralph Marino said
the agreement will permanently
keep the south shore wetlands
of Oyster Bay in a state of conservation.
He added that this
latest step by the Town actually
started in the days of Theodore
Roosevelt.
Oyster Bay was the first Town
to recognize the value of the
Long Island Wetlands Act in 1959
by dedicating 500 acres in the
vicinity of Tobay Pond off South
Oyster Bay for a Tobay Wildlife
Sanctuary. The shallow,
brackish pond with its marshy
edges has been the focal point for

The Town also entered into a
cooperative agreement for the
joint development and management
of this area and later completed
the access road, parking

bird watching tower.
' ' The latest agreement is an ex-tension
of the plans to keep the entire
5,000 acres preserved and
maintained in perpetuity for fish
and wildlife," said Marino.
