could get up Victor struggled gallantly At one point it appeared he would make it But the middle aged giraffe lost strength and sagged back to the ground belly first with a gentle bump After a lunch

Service NEW YORK In the midst of this city where fear is a fact of daily life and the public schools range from fair to appalling there exists an island of security where par ents rave about the quality of public education It is literally an island 2' mile sliver of granite in the middle of the East River that separates Manhattan from Queens It used to be called Welfare Island and held various asylums jails and hospitals mostly built of island gran ite quarried by convict labor Before that the Blackwell family farmed it selling it to the city in 1928 Still further back the Dutch bought it from the Indians in 1637 for a good deal more than they paid for Manhattan 13 years earlier BUT THESE days it is known as Roosevelt Island and its overriding assets safety in a crime ridden met ropolis and public schools where children really learn make it not only unique but also one of the biggest suc cess stories in the field of housing in years The state Urban Development Corp the high flyer among public authorities until a cash squeeze sent it into temporary default and subsequent eclipse in 1974 gets a lot of credit for creating an imaginative pleasant al most bucolic urban community only a minute tram ride away from the hubbub of midtown Manhattan About 5000 people live in 2100 high rise units of which 375 are cooperatives and the remainder rentals Some are subsidized heavily through tax abatement and other programs most only a little The community is racially mixed about 70 per cent white and the rest black or Hispanic and residents tend to be aggressively proud of the place even if they may grumble about its imperfections LOVE said Stephanie Pugh a 27 year old mother of four as she relaxed on a concrete bench at the rim of the eastern shore overlooking a huge Consolidated Edison power plant in Queens feel good about the schools or children really nice I worry about them I have to The se curity guards patrolling constantly and there are several parks for children to play The rent $421 a month for a four bedroom apartment in the subsidized moderate income Eastwood complex is about $100 a month higher than what she and her hus band a New York Telephone Co cable splicer paid in an all black neighborhood in the Jamaica section of Queens worth she said we lived in Queens unless I was able to sit on the stoop with the kids I let them leave the house because it was that type of an area Here you really do feel a lot more at JUDGING ROM the stray small fry wheeling tricy cles through the playgrounds and out into the street other mothers feel the same way safe as hell out commented Susan Casner a mother of three would gladly pay the dou ble a 50 cent subway token for the tram ride to Manhattan and then another to take the subway to her AP Photo in I WrciaiiiM ji ST 2 Roosevelt Island tilth Manhattan skyline to the right job be able not to worry about whether my pock A major reason is the force of private security guards about three dozen of them employed by the management Television cameras monitor entrances and hallways guards give parking tickets and survey the few streets and there is one car a red Pinto that circles the island constantly have very good security guards explained on of them Robert Leon What crime there is is mostly limited to bicycle thefts Leon himself lives in the Coney Island section of Brooklyn to that this is like he said there get robbed every David Tovin who had been held up at his dry cleaning shop in the Bronx decided to open up shop on the island a year ago Two months ago he moved his family here as well The difference: of he said' ANOTHER REASON for the low crime rate is that ac cess is limited There is the tram near the south end of the island and a bridge to Queens at the north end Some residents worry that when the 63rd Street sub way line is completed supposedly in 1983 the easier ac cess to the island will bring with it a deterioration and an increase in crime The subway connection was supposed to have been finished by the time the first buildings opened in 1975 but the Metropolitan Transportation Authority ran into money problems Actually the delay is what spawned the idea of the tramway UDC officials faced with a project that could not succeed without ready access to Manhattan came up with the notion at a brainstorming session Now the tram is not only the most visible trademark of the island but a major tourist attraction IT HAS CARRIED about two million passengers in the year and a half since it began operating The two huge red glass sided cars go back and forth every 7 minutes during rush hours every 15 minutes at other times UDC also brought modern technology to bear on an other urban problem: garbage collection rom chutes in the apartment buildings it is sucked along a pneu matic tube to a compressor station and trucked off the island from there I Some residents especially the like Casner and her husband Kenneth marketing director for Executonejnc who came to the island when it was only partly done because they like the concept admit to some disillusionment that certain promises by UDC been kept I.
