Joseph Rizzo, veteran Ward 5 juror and senior citizen of Patterson, won a hard-fought battle Wednesday at the St. Mary Parish Police Jury meeting In Franklin when he finally obtained approval of a site for the proposed health unit In Patterson. Rizzo was so determined to secure the property on Park St.

which he thought best suited for the location of the health unit, that he offered to pay the difference out of his own pocket if necessary or to even donate the land himself. The matter of a sufficiently large site for the health unit has held up construction of the unit that Rizzo has worked so long for. Originally intended for construction next to the parish library in Patterson, the property there was deemed not large enough by the state Department of Hospitals which claimed that there was not sufficient parking area and refused to give full approval of the health unit until another site had been obtained. The property that Rizzo hopes to secure is owned by Carl and Seymour Bauer and near Town Hall whose site was donated by the Bauetl family. Carl Bauer, in a letter to Rizzo, said that while he was not particularly interested in selling any more land in Patterson he would do so for the same price as land sold the Patterson Knights of Columbus $6,966.

He said an air search of the Patterson area was conducted Sunday afternoon shortly after the 18-year-old girl was reported missing by her parents. Baudoin said additional air searches of the area was not planned at this time until the ground search has been completed by his officers.

The mayor pointed out that all of the other neighboring parishes in this section had already enacted their own sales tax and said That the municipalities in this par ish were in full agreement that some steps should be taken immediately.

It was the consensus of opinion by the jurors that all three bodies needed money and that a sales tax was the fairest way to obtain it. land is as expensive as the land In Morgan City," Russo quipped. Two other Ward 6 jurors, Michael Versen and Wilson Gautreaux, and Ward 8 Juror Louis Mahfouz also asked for a delay. Versen said that within less than a mile from the site proposed by Rizzo there was land available, 75 by 150-feet, costing $40 a front foot while the Bauer property, 82 by 134-feet was selling at $85 a front foot.

Both he and Gautreaux maintained that it was simply good business to seek cheaper property and In a more un-congested area. Rizzo, however, insisted on an immediate vote, saying that the property was the best location for the health unit since it was located near Town Hall, both schools and central ly located to other facilities. Ward 8 Juror Charles Bowman remarked that while he originally had wanted the health unit branch In Bayou Vista he had been informed by the "health people" that Patterson was the best location for the new building. He and E. G.

Landry, Ward 7 juror, pointed out that Rizzo had been given authority by the jury to seek a new location and the the jurors should accept his advice. However, Gautreaux moved that Rizzo's motion be tabled and that a delay be granted as recommended by the Health Committee. On a role call vote Gau-treaux's motion was defeated 9 to 6. Voting to table the motion were Gautreaux, Berlin Hebert, Ward Lawrence Michel, Ward Russo, Mahfouz and Versen. Before voting on Rizzo's motion to purchase the property, Michel made sure that the vote was applicable only if the state approved the site, which Rizzo claimed was in the process of being approved.

The St. Mary Parish Police Jury Waterways Committee has called a jo'nt meeting to-, night, 7:30, at City Court here with representatives of the five parish municipalities to formulate an official protest of the US Engineers' announcement of a proposed pumping plant on the Atcha-falaya River which would supply additonal water to areas west of here. Interested parties are invited to attend. Parish and municipal officials are strongly against such a plan, claiming that it would cause salt water intrusion here during low water stages. This would be especially serious at Morgan City where the municipality's water intake structure Is in Berwick Bay.

Salt water intrusion here for any sustained period of time would probably necessitate the construction of a new intake structure at Lake Palourde. This, of course, would also necessitate a large-diameter water line from the lake to the bayslde plant, which would be iuite an expensive undertaking Jury To Protest Water Grab Our World Today FROM THE WIRES OF ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON (AP) The administration's ant 1 poverty bill was approved by the House Education and Labor Committee today over Republican protests of rush tactics.
