Mestlce said. proposal! fails i 2nd bid By Jonathan Saltxman Journal staff The Dutchess County Legislature, voting almost entirely along party lines, refused Tuesday to reconsider a day care program defeated last month. By a vote of 19 16, the Republican controlledcontrolled Legislature opposed a motion by Democrat James Hammond to re examine the proposal, which would have established more day care centers and allowed mothers to continue their education. The vote came after Legislature Chairman Joseph Pollluccl angrily refused to let representatives of community agencies voice support for the proposal because the issue was not on the agenda. The Republican chairman had told Democratic Minority Leader Judith "Kip" Bleak vinck 'ev that he would let one community repre sentative speak rive minutes about the program.

Instead, Mrs. Bleakley asked Pollluccl to let five people speak one minute each. Among the groups represented were the YWCA, the Dutchess County Youth Board. and the Grace Smith House for battered women. See Day care, page 12 Ulster seeks Con Ed's help in garbage crisis By Harvey Auster Joaraal staff KINGSTON Ulster County officials said Tuesday night they continue to look to Consolidated Edison as the surest and least expensive solution to the county's garbage dumping crisis.

They said their hopes lie with the New York City utility, despite some negative comments by the utility as to whether Its proposed conversion of two major power plants from oil to coal generation will go forward. "If Just a marriage made In heaven," County Planning Director Herbert Hekler City planners set review of condo plan By Robert DeFlUlppo Jaaraal staff The City of Poughkeepsle planning board decided Tuesday to require an environmental assessment of a Ill unit condominium project off Academy Street that had previously been given preliminary approval. The decision effectively means a repeat of the planning process for Robert Ackerman and Springslde Associates, the project developers. David Aldeborgh, planning board chairman, said the board made a mistake when It voted late last sdmmer to approve a preliminary site plan for the 43 acre Springslde project Aldeborgh said an environmental assessment of the project is necessary first The planners voted Tuesday to be the lead agency In the environmental review and declared that the review was necessary because the development would be partially built on a national historic site. The Springslde property was the location of Matthew Yasser's summer cottage more than 100 years ago.

The land bad also once been landscaped by Andrew Jackson Downing, a leading landscape designer. See CITY, page 24 told the Ulster County Solld Waste Task Force Tuesday night. He said that coming op with an affordable solution to the solid waste disposal problem will be very difficult without Con Ed providing the land to dump In and the cover material, which is what would happen If the utility choses a northern Ulster County site to dispose of its ashes from a coal fired power generating facility. A month ago, state Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Henry Williams approved Con Ed's proposal to convert Its Arthurkill power plant on Staten Island and Its Ravenswood plant in Astoria, Queens, from oil to coal. However, as part of that approval, Williams said Con Ed would have to build electrostatic scrubbers that would remove 10 percent of the sulfur dioxide from the stack emissions.

Con Ed spokesmen have told county officials several times since then the latest being last week, Hekler said that it absolutely cannot consider putting such scrubbers in at the Ravenswood plant because there Is no room. Utility officials complained It would be too costly. Hekler told the task force that Con Ed officials told him they would have to purchase an entire city block adjacent to the Ravenswood plant to Install such a scrubber there. But while Con Ed has been talking negatively, Hekler said he is encouraged by the utility's statement It still plans to go forward with Its applications for state permits to operate an ash dumping site somewhere along the Hudson River. "They are acting as If they will attempt to get the permits, but they have not determined definitely what they will do," Hekler said.

"At this point, it's hard to tell Just what is a threat, what is bravado and what Is real. We Just don't know."
