The expansion plans were necessitated by an increase in the firm's business.

They were supported by unions representing dairy workers who were fearful that the Silver Crest Farm firm misht be forced to move out of the city like other dairies if it could not widen its operations. The officials refused to give any details of the new proposal, which is expected to be filed with the Planning Commission shortly. But a spokesman for the dairy said the new plan "involves the entire parcel" occupied by the firm and "the closing of one street." The firm's complex of a milk bottling plant, a retail store, offices and parking lots is centered along Eliot and Caldwell between 80th and 82d Sts. The plan that had been presented to the Board of Standards and Appeals called for zoning variances to permit the establishment of parking lots on the north side of Caldwell Ave. between 81st and 82d Sts.

However, the plan ran into opposition from homeowners whose properties are adjacent to the proposed parking areas and complained that increased activity there would disturb them.

In the warm basement, another emergency' worker was having his coffee and the children at the day care center were playing. To perform this emergency service, city workers have received emergency training. "We've been trained for fire, earthquakes and flood," Mrs. Exum said. "But I never thought that we would be called out because of the cold." The Red Cross, which was helping out at the emergency shelters, reported that in some of the other city shelters the response was better.

In Brooklyn, Specially trained emergency personnel sat by the door ready to receive the expected hordes who decided to leave their heatless homes. Twenty-eight cots with blankets neatly folded at the foot of each had been carefully set up in the parish hall behind St. Pius Church at 106-12 Liverpool St Cardboard boxes full of more cots and more blankets were stacked on the side. Signs in English and Spanish pointed the way to the Disaster Service Center and advised citizens that the aid was free. But no shivering souls took advantage of the city's warm hospitality.

Yesterday, the Mayor's Action Center said that 356 complaints had been received.

The tenants, at 35-05 Parsons Blvd. in Flushing, say that "we're going out of our mind" because the six-floor apartment building has been without heat since Monday.

Under that rehabilitation program once the federal government spends money to repair a roadway it must remain toll-free.

Manes said. Currently, Con Ed Says Pay or Else "The city administration should move as quickly as possible to have the state take over the Queensboro Bridge as another means of preventing the disgraceful plan to Impose tolls on this vital intra-city link," Manes said. Manes made his remarks in reaction to a decision Tuesday by the VS. Court of Appeals ordering the enforcement of a 1973 clean-air plan that requires tolls on 13 bridges over the Harlem and East rivers. The plan, which was drawn up by the Lindsay administration, intended to reduce air pollution in the city by discouraging the use of cars while encouraging the use of mass transportation.

Officials Tow to Appeal Other elements of the plan include reducing parking in business districts and banning taxi cruising in some areas. The plan has drawn the opposition of Mayor Beame and other city officials, who have promised an appeal of the court decision. Proposals to have the Queensboro Bridge made part of the state highway system were announced by the city last week, even before the court decision. They were made in response to a ref usal by the federal gevernment to fund repairs on the aging bridge. The refusal was accompanied, however, with the suggestion that the repairs possibly could be funded by the Federal Aid to Urbaa Systems Program if de state took over the spaa.

The homeowners receiving electric service from the feeder located in the Harris" basement live at 114-28, 114, 114-38. 11440, 11446 and 114-50 207ti SL The house at 114 30 207th St. also receives the current but is presently vacant. According to a Con Edison spokesman, the "necessary repairs" for rerouting the current must be done by a licensed electrician and involves the installation of roof standpipes.

The installation cost has been estimated at from $300 to $600 per house. The Cambria Heights situation surfaced last November when the cable, which connects to the feeder in the Harris" basement, caught fire. The cable at that time ran underground, from a utility pole located on the curb in front of the Harris' property. Asked Removal of Cable After the fire the Harris family refused to let Con Edison rebury the cable and demanded instead that Con Ed remove the feeder from their home and make arrangements to provide electric service directly to each house. Harris, a laid-off public school custodian, also refused to bear the expenses of rerouting the current to his neighbors and insisted that Con Edison make the necessary Installations.

In the mean By JOYCE WHITE Con Edison has given six Cambria Heights homeowners who receive electric service from a feeder located in another house on the block 15 days to "make necessary repairs" for rerouting the current directly to each house or face discontinuance of service. The edict came after Bernice and jpercell Harris requested that the feeder and an exposed electrical cable be removed from their basement at 114-44 207th St. The feeder is part of a Con Edison "loop service" arrangement that was used commonly before World War II to provide electricity to a cluster of houses..
