The list of allegations attached to the New York Superior Court order contends that sales personnel do business with New York residents through the mail by sending brochures, sales contracts and other papers concerning the purchase of Century Village apartments. Attorney General spokesman Bob Mathias said New York sales prospects are then invited to a luncheon in Fort Lee, N.J., immediately across the Hudson River from New York City.

from selling in York is just another way of pushing people around, Cenvill President Irwin Levy said today.

"Their view is you can't have any communications in New York without registering with them because they want control," Levy said. Levy said the company does nothing that violates New York law and said Florida's disclosure law is tougher than New York's and "we comply to that."

Shaiv Asks Shine's Removal By RICK GARR Staff Writer Sunrise City Councilman Walter Shaw has gone to court asking that Council President Cecil E. Shine Jr. be reritoved from his seat and that no more council meetings be held until Shine is ousted; In his suit filed yesterday in Broward Circuit Court against the city and Shine, Shaw says the council acted illegally on Sept.

24 in appointing Shine to fill the unexpired term of resigning Councilman Conrad Osborne. Shaw says the Sunrise City Charter requires an election to be held within 30 days of a resignation to fill the vacancy, and he asks the court to order such a special election once Shine has been unseated. Shaw also says Shine violated Florida's resign-to-run law because he did not resign from the council seat he was" holding until after he was appointed to fill the remainder of Osborne's term. The council's appointment of Shine, Shaw contends, is illegal because Florida Atty. Gen.

Robert Shevin has ruled three votes are needed in such a situation to make the action valid. i Four council members were present on Sept. 24. Two voted for Shine, Shaw voted no, and Shine abstained. A hearing will be held at 9 a.m.
