Panel Proposes Greece Bay Water From Authority A Greece Citizens Committee yesterday recommended that the Town of Greece buy its water from the Monroe County Water Authority instead of setting up its own water plant. The committee also recommended enlarging the Rochester city water plant instead of the Monroe County Water Authority plant but did not say who should foot the bill for the enlarging job. That left open the question of whether such a project would be in the hands of the Water Authority (which could purchase the city water plant) or the city. The committee, headed by Charles W. Marvin was named by Supervisor Gordon A.

Howe a year ago to study the town's water situation. The town had an engineering report prepared by Nussbaumer, Clarke Velzy of Buffalo at the time which proposed a 351,000 town-owned water plant on Lake Ontario. The town has taken no action on the report, however. The citizens committee went beyond the Town of Greece in its a recommendations: It urged that all existing major Water. facilities in Monroe County consolidated under one agency as soon as practiable instead of waiting until 1980 as recommended in the Metcalf Report (prepared for the Water Authority).

And, the commitee urged that the consolidated agency distribute water wholesale to a metropolitan water district. It recommended that Rochester sell its surplus water to alleviate water shortages in suburban towns, claiming that the existing city water supply, has a surplus now and expected to have a surplus in the year 2,000. It urged that the city continue to supply the towns south of Rochester from its upland supply instead of installing the necessary equipment to supply those towns from Lake Ontario. It recommended that the 60- inch west side water main proposed in the Metcalf and Eddy report not be installed now. Instead, the committee said, the existing 48-inch main from the new Rochester city plant should be used to its full capacity.

Other recommendations were that new distribution mains be installed to increase the efficiency of water distribution and to alleviate shortages, and that the metropolitan water district be enlarged gradually to cover the entire county.

West 1775 Clinton Ave. N. PEDERAL, DEPOSIT IMPURANCE CORPORATION ROCHESTER DEMOCRAT AND CHRONICLE Friday, Mar. 6, 1959 9 Scores as Conductor By HARVEY SOUTHGATE LEST ROCHESTER Philharmonic audiences think they have "seen everything" in the line of guest conductors in the last two or three seasons, last night's concert at the Eastman brought a distinctive new figure who gave a decided fillip to the waning season. Jean Martinon, eminent French born conductor, came as a stranger to Rochester but served notice almost at the first note of the concert that here is another of the arresting, distinctive leaders who will high in the city's score book of guest artists.

In a program drawn entirely from French composers, Mr. Martinon proved himself a tone painter of extraordinary sensitivity and power. Perhaps it takes the French to interpret the French. At any rate we heard last night performances that brought new illumination to music that for the most part is a thing of subtle colors, delicate poesy and elusive charm. The conductor knew what he was about every minute, and he seemed to impart to the orchestra his feeling for the unusual by adding its applause to that of the audience -a tribute that not every conductor wins.

A SELDOM HEARD curtain raiser by the eighteenth century composer Rameau got things off to an engrossing start. This was the overture to the opera "Dardanus," a work once popular, now largely forgotten. The music played was more in the nature of a suite than an overture, for it had various sections, separated by pauses, but all held together by the melodic flow and the graceful rhythms characteristic of the period in it was written. Rameau was one of the innovators in orchestration. It was interesting to hear this charming work.

The Symphony in Major by George Bizet has been so eclipsed by the composer's more popular works (particularly that one does not hear it often. Those who have a slight acquaintance with it usually as a second rate affair. Last night played with then right velocity, sharply of tempo cut phrases, the it sounded like a new captivating work. It has many delightful themes, reminding of the composer's later music, original effects in oboes and flutes that remind of Berlioz, with all a melodiousness and gaiety that make it, if not a Beethoven or a Brahms, at least something worth hearing again. THE LATTER part of the program was devoted to the two modern French impressionists, Ravel and Martinon Debussy, and here Mr.

seemed in his most congenial medium. Five parts of the inimitable Ravel "Mother Goose Suite" brought all of the gentleness and airy beauty of music that, although dealing with childish fancies, is for all ages. Mr. Martinon got lovely effects, including an exquisite soft tone, from the orchestra. The three symphonic sketches from Debussy's "La Mer," which closed the program, seemed to this writer the most compelling interpretation of this mystic, delicately tinted, majestic music which he has heard.

Debussy was dealing, of course, purely with impressions of the sea, of waves and winds and nature's, voices. Mr. Martinon brought these impressions close to the listener. At the end there was long applause for conductor and for individuals in the orchestra. Hanson Heads For Concert In South HOWARD Hanson is DR.

off today for New Orleans, where he will hear the premiere of his newest composition, "Seascape," played by the New Orleans Orchestra. The composer will conduct the performance, scheduled for Tuesday evening. Alexander, Hilsberg, the regular conductor, will conduct the remainder of the program. The new work, suggested by the sea view from Dr. Hanson's cottage in Maine, was written at the request of Edward Benjamin, New Orleans business man and music patron, who annually awards a prize for the best composition of a restful nature by an Eastman School student Benjamin came to Rochester for the first time last spring to hear the 1958 compositions.

This was the first meeting between Benjamin and Dr. Hanson. In New Orleans, Dr. and Mrs. Hanson will be entertained by the Benjamins.

They will also be greeted by Jack Dailey, former executive secretary of the Civic Music now business manager of the New Orleans orchestra.
