These differ from the mayor' proposal in their placement of the Mas-peth and Beechhurst communities, which Manes and community leaders want to remain grouped with the same communities as under the present district setup. Another problem involves the boundaries for the several southeast Queens districts.

Manhattan Borough President Percy Sutton is in agreement with the proposed two special districts but is still fighting to give them the same powers enjoyed by the other boards. There is also a difference of opinion over whether the Marble Hill district of Manhattan should be placed in a Manhattan or Bronx district. Another thorny issue is Roosevelt Island, which is part of Manhattan. The Beame plan includes.it in a Manhattan district but a Queens board will be responsible for assuring delivery of police and sanitation services and there's some discontent with this. 10:30 a.m.

Under the agenda adopted by the board at last Thursday's meeting, residents of Slaten Island will be beir first, followed by those from the Bronx, Queens, Manhattan and Brooklyn. The hearing will deal with the district alignment proposed last October by Mayor Beame, calling for 55 districts in the five boroughs, plus two special districts covering lower and midtown Manhattan. Under this alignment, there would be 14 districts in Queens, 17 in Brooklyn, 11 in the Bronx, 10 in Manhattan and three in Staten Island.

Hearings were held in each borough during September on a draft proposal, giving communities throughout the city a chance for some input before the mayor released his plan in October. Since then, negotiations have continued between the administration and the borough presidents in an effort to work out some remaining differences in the proposal. Citv Planning Commission chairman Victor Marrero, who has been representing the mayor in these negotiations, said last week, "Most of the work has been done on resolving the maj problems but a handful of sensitive issues still remain." As a result, sources on the Board of Estimate said last week that the board might vote following the hearing but there was no guarantee of it. Some of the borough presidents expressed displeasure over this because it will not leave them much time to appoint members of the new boards and a paid district director. One of the most outspoken among them has been Queens Borough President Donald R.

On March 31, New York State Supreme Court Justice Hyman Korn named the nonprofit Jewish Home and Hospital for Aged, with ranches in Manhattan and the Bronx, as receiver for the nursing home.

Work on the dangerously dilapidated, six-lane structure began in September 1975. The project cost $10.67 mil. lion. 75 federal funding and the rest coming from state highway funds. New steel sections were provided under the roadway.

The retained steel was cleaned and painted and the roadway was rebuilt with reinforced concrete. Some ramp and miscellaneous work remains to be done. Starting tomorrow, the highway exit and entrance at 72d St. will be closed for reconstruction. Local traffic, which normally uses these rumps should use th ramps at 79th St.

Riverside Drive and other local West Side streets. The increased traffic congestion annoyed local residents who said it endangered children, cut down access to Riverside Park and caused noise and air pollution in the neighborhood. There were a number of demonstrations by irate residents at the highway during the time it was closed. Mrs. Sally Goldgood, vice-chairman of Community Planning Board 7 expressed the feelings of the community now that cars won't have to detour onto local streets.

"Thank God the job is completed," she said. "This is the community has been waiting for. I'm glad it's over, the community has been very patient. It means that now the community will have some peace and quiet." Raps Lengthy Project John McNally, secretary of the West-side Action for Repair Now, a group that demonstrated a number of times against the diversion of highway traffic onto neighborhood streets, was also happy to see the highway reopening. "We're glad it's finished but it should have been finished two years ago.

It could have been finished sooner if the Mayor had taken prompt and decisive action when it was closed down in January, 1974.
