Aren't we supposed to live?" WILSON MUNIZ head of Puerto Ricans for Social Action and Uconomic Development spoke next urging that the board consider "some form of rent control" Black and minority tenants are paying apartment rents" without the luxury he said William James a member of the board of directors of the Port Chester Citizens Anti-Poverty Association questioned Trustee Daniel La-Dore's proposal for the village to condemn five south end acres and Invite private nonhousing developers to the area "What about the people living there now?" he asked LaDore said the high-density population of the area is a "very very difficult problem" recognized by all He noted that Itort Chester has a greater proportionate share of subsidized low-income housing 600 units than surrounding communities The village needs private development to broaden its tax base LaDore argued "so we can pay for some of the things that you and I want" The trustees said tenants displaced by such a redevelopment project could have first priority to move into the subsidized apartments which have a high turnover rate Next to speak was Mrs Linda Jordan a tenant at 38 Pearl St Tenants can't get repairs made she said "We didn't come up here for a fight" just to get apartments fixed she said "They are not fit for dogs to live in We want to leave because this is our Jxune We just want someplace decent to live If the job is done we won't have nothing to At this point Sammarco was on his feet again asking for the floor Bambace ordered him Oyster Bay versus a bridge Vbemg an obstructionist not a political opportunist because 1 don't think you have the intelligence" Sammarco agreed to Bam-bace's angry order to sit down only after the mayor promised to adjourn the meeting within 30 seconds if he did not a THE HOUSING discussion began when Moe Menifield chairman of the neighborhood resource council took the cronhone which had been set up in anticipation of extraordinary audience participation Housing code is enforced elsewhere in the village but not in sections where the poor live Menifield said Why wait until a building has run down to the point where it has to be condemned he asked Tenants of condemned buildings have nowhere to go he said Bambace answered that the board has begun a code enforcement program under which the village's four inspectors are out every day MRS WILLIAM LAGONIGRO Holy Rosary

Hiere was alot of discussion about it The decision was finally made by the secretary himself then Stewart THE SPOKESMAN went or: Oyster Bay officials knew damn well what they were doing when they made the gift They put a tight reverter clause on the deed which said no bride abutments stanchions access roads or anything else could be built throuH IT The clause said the property be used for anything but a wildlife refuge or it would revert to its original a Most of the 3117 acres are under water Most of the inlets creeks and coves were owned by the town although some individuals also held tidewater property Gradually these private citizens came forward to give up their property in the gamble to block the bridge which seems to have paid off on the hook ot honor the agreement not just a matter of good public relations for Interior a question of precedent and the department spokesman said man saio set a horrendous precedent" he said Don Kehoe public information officer for the Town of Oyster Bay was not so sure a compromise might not be reach ed however At his Town Hall office he said not complacent You never know what's going to happen when Rockefeller and Nixon put their heads
