The controversial study item is a request by the Housing and Redevelopment Board for permission to seek Federal funds for the implementation of an urban renewal study of a 45-block area bounded by Jorale-mon Court Atlantic Smith Wyckoff Court DeGraw St. and the Brook-lyn-Queens Expressway. The section was dubbed an urban renewal area last June 14 by the City Planning Commission, which recommended that the blocks west of Court St.

be earmarked for "rehabilitation, conservation and spot clearance." A seven block area east of Court St. would, most likely be receveloped, under the commission's recommendation. The total net capital grant that the housing body will seek from the Federal Government's Housing and Home Finance Agency is $10,850,000, according to the board's survey and planning application for the study. The application estimated that the total costs would be $12,980,000, with the City expecting to recover about $2,130,000 from the resale of land to redevelopers. Also, the Federal Government would pay almost $1,000,000 for relocation' expenses.

The application estimated that 1,640 families and 350 businesses would be displaced. A breakdown showed that 240 of these families would be from Brooklyn Heights, 600 from Cobble Hill. Eighty Heights merchants and 130 from Cobble Hill would have to be relocated.

The yor's committee that had said the Whitman building had only "tenuous" historical importance and recommended that the structure be spared only if it could be moved has been dissolved. The Mayor Committee for the Preservation of Structures of Historic and Esthetic Importance will be replaced by a body to be known as the Landmarks Preservation Commission. Full time personnel will succeed the volunteer persons who comprised the now defunct preservation committee, a spokesman for Mayor Wagner announced recently. The new body's membership has not yet been announced.

According to a spokesman for the Whitman group, C. McKim Norton, who was a member of the Mayor's committee, advised the local preservationists to contact the new Landmarks Preservation Commission, when formed, to pursue its aim of preserving the Whitman structure. v.

Schools are built and operated with tax dollars yours and ours. Last year, New York Telephone paid $125 million in taxes to the state and to its local communities.

If used for schools alone, that would build more than 100. In taxes, payrolls, new construction and purchases your telephone company expended over a billion dollars last year dollars that help to keep New York State's economy healthy and growing. jtlew York Telephone Part of the nationwide Bell Telephone System.
