Mr.

Beck said the commission has learned there are ex perts who would look over the park and give their advice for nothing or a small fee if their travel expenses are paid. Mr. Beck asked the board to hold a meeting with the commission and come to some definite plan as to what is to be done. Mr. Beck suggested that if there should be any of the $5,900 appro priation left it be placed in a sink ing fund for park improvement and that the program be continued un til the park meets everyone's ap proval.

In answer to a question on the pmount of tax-relief the park Mant to Fairlawn residents, Mr, ice, said that on 22m housLe in Fairlawn, the total taxes are about $450, and in neighboring residential Glen Rock, the tax on a house with the same valuation is $750. Mr. Rice replied to a question that. yes, Fairlawn did have a railroad. but he said only two of the 18 indus tries at Fairlawn Industrial Park ute the railroad to any extent.

Truck Transport He said the trend today is for industry to use truck transportation. Most of their industries came out from New York City, he said, fad conditions there, for the most part, dictate truck transportation. Mr. Rice said there is "no traffic problem" at Fairlawn. He said the mam road into the park is Route 208, a' two-lane highway.

It connects with Routes 4 and 17. He said there was an existing sew er system not too far away, and tha ran an eight-inch line to con nect into it. He said that at a couple of other sites the Fairlawn parks corporation has under construction or under consideration, it would build a sewage disposal plant.

Silvestro, Democratic candidate for mayor in the village of West Haverstraw, issued a statement today outlining some of the points on which his campaign will be based. "You have heard, and will hear, much talk on the matter of taxes on all levels of government this year," he said. Our concern as regards taxes is primarily on the village level. This much I can say to you now. There will be no in crease in village taxes this year.

"We will be keeping a careful eye trained on expenditures. At this point I should like to state that my fellow-trustees and I held the line on your taxes last year, and my op ponent for the position of mayor can make no claim in that direction. In fact, the trustees had no co-operation from the mayor in the operations and functions of the village government during the past fiscal year.

Coinword has been so scheduled by The Journal-News that it will continue to run until either one of two eventualities comes to pass.

First, someone can "hit" it for whatever the award money may be in that particular week. Or else, Coinword can keep right on climbing until it reaches a peak of $1,000. If it should happen that the total award reaches the sum of 11,000 without a winner, the contest will be declared closed at that time. And, The Journal-News will then immediately contribute the $1,000 in equal shares of $500 each to the building funds of the Good Samaritan Hospital at Suffern and the Nyack Hospital. is of as be or no is on is in matters are handled diligently and there is no doubt that the village amply provided for in the matter police protection.

Yesterday's hot Main Street rumor was that the ticket would be Mirabile for police justice with incumbent Trustee Jack Tancos the only ether candidate. Questioned on this, Mirabile said the "ticket will be chosen by the committeemen. All I can say is that there will be a ticket." Asked the same question, Tancos said: "I just came back from a vacation a week ago. I haven't had time to talk to anyone and no one has sought me out to talk to me. I don't know exactly what is going on right now."

The alarm was for a brush fire in the Willow Grove area of the township. As the truck, driven by George Clineman, was proceeding to the blaze, Brown's car came out of a side road, forced the apparatus into a ditch, and kept going.
