If the Town Board accepts the recommendation of the officials it will mean that present plans for solving the parking problem will have to be tabled until the Legislature convenes on Jan.

Under present proposals the cost of acquiring property and maintaining the parking space would be obtained by taxing residents of the park district. Some sections of the peninsula, notably the village of Great Neck Estates, are not within the district. Residents Should Pay In making the recommendation to include all areas that would be directly benefited by the parking program the Village Officials Association declared residents of the areas should pay their proportionate share of the parking space costs.

Plans of the park commissioners were made public in August and for a while it appeared they would be approved by the Town Board without delay. The outlay called for $130,000 in Great Neck Plaza and $46,000 in Great Neck village. At the first of two public hearings on the project the officials asked more time to study the plans. There has been some talk among the merchants of seeking a trial of parking meters. It could be arranged without much delay or legislation In Albany, it was pointed out.

Civic Associations and business groups have been boosting the plan for parking areas, but town officials took no action, because the original plan was too costly and because the sentiment of the people was not fully known.

Isaacs explained that the refer endum would not be binding upon any one and that it would not be en issue of the campaign for the election of a commissioner. The plan to be considered em braces the establishment of four parking areas at a total cost of $140,000, of which $102,000 would be assessed directly against business, industrial and apartment house properties, while the balance would be assessed against the entire district which has an assessed valua tion of about $39,000,000.

The previous proposal turned down by the town board as too co6Uy, called for an expenditure of $211,000. The Manhasset Inter-Laison Com- bnittee, central body of local civic units, and Theodore M.

to Develop 2-County Council A conference of several C. I. O. local unions was held in the headquarters of the Amalgamated Joint Board, 283 Fulton Hempstead, for the purpose of considering the advisability of establishing a C. I.

O. council for Nassau and Suffolk counties. Several local unions. Including the Laundry Workers, Aircraft Workers, Shoe Salesmen, Food Salesmen and Retail Clerks, attended thrton-ference. The delegates pointed out the necessity of organizing a central council to co-ordinate activities of the various C.

I. O. unions in Nassau and Suffolk counties and to develop a drive to organize the unorganized in both counties. It was decided to organize a provisional committee to call a larger conference for Nov. 28 at 8 p.m., at which time a council will be established.

The provisional committee Includes James MacGilvray, representing the Aircraft Workers, and Samuel Lowenthal, representing the Retail and wholesale Clerks Union. chairman of the Suffolk County USDA Defense Board. Mr. Talmage announced that Secretary of Agriculture Wickard has called upon farmers to cooperate in the campaign. Information received by the defense board emphasizes that America needs scrap iron and steel to meet shortages in the production of defense materials.

Scrap is essential in the making of steel. Steel is needed for the manufacture of farm machinery. Farmers who dispose of their scrap iron now will help make it possible for more farm machinery in 1942. i In a letter to the New York State USDA Defense Board, Secretary Wickard wrote: "The OPM has been putting on a drive to increase the flow of scrap metal in increasing the flow of scrap from the farms. I am therefore requesting that every defense board put on a drive to get farmers to market their scrap and steel.

The financial returns cannot be expected to be large but the results will be important to farmers and to our whole defense effort." Fanners are being asked to market scrap iron at current prices which have been set by the Offlc of Price Administration. However, the prices are moderate and farmers are asked to sell their scrap to help the nationaj defense program. Scrap iron in Suffolk County should bring about 40 cents a hundredweight, according to information available to the local defense board. The scrap iron collection campaign is to be carried on through the usual market channels. Mr.

Talmage emphasized that the Government does not want farmers to scrap useful farm machinery. When machinery is being kept for spare parts, it is suggested that the parts be taken off the machines and stored and the remainder of the metal sold.

St. Germain, Island Park village counsel, to dismiss the petition, the court was asked to find that the petition does not constitute a cause of action. Mr. St. Germain, in part, argued that it was the duty of the zoning appeals board to grant the variance to permit defense work to go ahead.
