WAY IS CLEARED FOR TOWN TO GET FUSARO BEACH Justice Conrby Amends 1952 Decision And All Parties Are Happy; Old - - .prescent Club Beach TtrjBtf Sold. Huntington may sill! Jiave Fus- nro 's Beach In Lloyd Karbor in time " tor townspeople to enjoy bathing In its waters , for Supreme Court Justice Joseph Conroy in an amendment to his 1952 Fusaro Eeach decision gave th-e- Jones es- tate six months to redeem 127 ucres of property seized by the county for non-payment ot taxes, on the condition the Jones heirs agree to let the Town of Hunting- Ion have twenty acres for a town beach. The agreement was made on Monday. There are still some slops to be taken before the agreement is ful- filled. The Jones heirs must re- deem 107 acres of the 127-acre properly within six months. The Town Board must call a special referendum to obtain tie approval of the townspeop le for payment to Ihe county of $10,318.58 in back taxes ' owed to the county for the twenty-acre, beach property . The Jones heirs will have to pay $29 ,321.78 to the county for back taxes on the 107-acrts tract. In addition the JoA. es heirs must pay Eugene H. Hurley, Nassau attorney, $20,000 in counsel fees — fixed by the Court . If the agreement is consum- mated , it is believed that every- body will be*happy. The Town will get the beach. The county will get its back taxes . The Jones heirs will be allowed to redeem their valuable acres , and Mr. Hurley will he rewarded for bin labors to the tune of 520, 000. ' tt ma.y be consid- ered strictly beside the point that the peopl e of Huntington, as in- nocent by-slanders, have been de- nied the use of the bea,cb. for six years. When townspeople vote on the Fusion Deat h proposition they will also bo asked to approve the sale of . the old Crescent Club beach property on Huntington Day. This this tlifrty-tUreotacro tract , with. Its •!<i(i feet of beach " front lias also been (fed-up tar-the past six year * in the same litigation. Originally, It was bought by the Town Hoard with V.M.C.A. money <$20,000) with the Men that ' Its beach' would be used by the boys and girl s of the towwihip. Vim proposal stirred . up so much opposition among the neighbors that It was abandoned. The back taxes . on the Crescent Club beach property amounts to $3(> ,oor> of which $20,000 Is duo the count)' sind $10,000 duo the Village of Huntington Day, Besides this , (he V.M.C.A, must bo paid bac k the $20, 000 it advanced. So, the vot- ers will bo iisltou to permit the Town Board to advertise for bids for the sale of the thirty-thrcc-nero tract for as much more than $50 ,00(1 as It ran got , On tho motion of Jus- tice William E, TlUm , tho Hoard art oil favorably on tho resolution «t Tucmlny 'B Town . tian.nl mootlnR, The Hoard members fool the prop- erty will bring coimldorably moro Hum JfiO.OOO , Whatever It brings above tills amount will bo applied lo inducing tlio cottt of the Fusaro •Ilcncli property .

The ' Long island Lighting Com- pany was urged to keep a heavy duty emergency truck constantly on duty in Huntington Township in order to prevent loss of life fro m live wire and Ignited gas mains , by a unanimous vote of the Town Hoa rd on Tuesday. /fho Board was alerted to the danger by .lames ,j. Vaughn , repre- senting the Huntington Manor Flic Department, who said prompt ac- tion was needed to overcome the possibility of disaster. Mr . Vaughn pointed to the dang- erous possibilities of a recent break in a gus main on New York Avenue and Depot itoad severa l weeks ago. The Manor Fire Depart- ment , he said, didn 't have the equipment hi deal w ilh such an emergenty, and it was only after a second track lu.d been dispatch- ed by the Lighting Company that tfie danger «'«s overcome. He said tlie Lighting Company had notice of the condition us proved by the fac t that Its inick was there five minutes afu-r the fire siren was sounded, and stayed until the fire was put out. On another occasion. Mr. Va ughn suid two firemen narrowly escap- ed electrocution from a live wire. He urged die Hoard to get the names of Lighting Company em- ployees In Ihe immediate vicinity who are authorized to deal with such emergencies . If there me none , be said the company should be forced to designate them , and if it refused , tho matter should be re- ported to the Public Service Com- mission. Justice Giorge A. Hahn recalled that gas fro m the escaping main llad caught on fire, creating a flame under pressure that was four feet ' vide and fifteen feet high, and was, lie said , like a. giant blow torch.

By G. R. Williams , Jr, As he nears the midpoint of his tenth year In office, Town Super- visor Walter Fasbender carries himself, and talks, with an air o( self-confidence you might not ex- pect of a man who currently is be- ing sued for $100 ,000. Not one to lose sleep over such problems — "I wake up, say 'this' just can 't happen ', audi go back to sleep " — Fasbender neverthless maintains that " while I don 't mind taking the blame for some of the troubles of my administration , I want credit for Us accomplish- ments , too. " Almost 48 , Fasbender was born in Brooklyn August 2, li)05, of Ger- man parents who had come to this country when they were Quite young. They moved to Huntington Station when Walter was seven and Mr. Fasbender , who worked for 'Bcnzlger Brothers , church goods manufacturers , became a com- muter. WALTER FASBENDER Walter, who had a brother' and two sisters, all older , recalls that Huntington Station was rural In those days. The roads wore dirt, there were a red bant where the bank now is and an open air thea- tre on Broadway. He used to rim the projector at the theatre during the summer months. At that time there was a wait between each reel.

Huntington voters will have a chance to vote on the first class town proposition on November 3, as the result of a resolution adopt- ed unanimously by the Town Board on Tuesday. Although all members ot the Hoard voted " yes" Supervisor Walter Fasbender said he would have preferred to have the posi- tion voted on earlier , so that the firs t class town could have been In effect by January 1, 1954. However to assure a vote on the proposition this year , he said he would support the resolu- tion. Justice William B. Titus echoed the Supervisor ' s words , and also voted for the resolution. A letter from John A. Squalr , president of the Huntington Town- ship Chamber of Commerce, urged The Board to take the action ' necessary to make Hunflngton a town of the first class by Janu- ary 1, 195-1. • ' "We also believe , " Mr. Squalr wrote, "that the Town Board should take the lead in initiating action towaid this end. In so doing: we believe you would receive very general and wide support." The Board split Its vote, three to two on two resolutions Tuesday. Supervisor Fasbender and Judge Titus voted " no" on a resolution to appoint Carmine Petrone and Don- ald Bull to posts as aids to the building inspector. The Supervisor said ho was voting " no " because he said he didn 't know what work there was for these men to do. Both men had been endorsed at a meeting of the Republican County Committee of Huntington a a meet- ing on ' February 24. The position curries a salary of $2, 700. The second split vote, occurred when Justice George A.

Jiave Fus-nro 's Beach In Lloyd Karbor intime "tor townspeople to enjoybathing In its waters , for SupremeCourt Justice Joseph Conroy inan amendment to his 1952 FusaroEeach decision gave th-e- Jones es-tate six months to redeem 127ucres of property seized by thecounty for non-payment ot taxes,on the condition the Jones heirsagree to let the Town of Hunting-Ion have twenty acres for a townbeach. The agreement was madeon Monday.
There are still some slops to betaken before the agreement is ful-filled. The Jones heirs must re-deem 107 acres of the 127-acreproperly within six months. TheTown Board must call a specialreferendum to obtain tie approvalof the townspeople for paymentto Ihe county of $10,318.58 in backtaxes' owed to the county for thetwenty-acre, beach property . TheJones heirs will have to pay$29 ,321.78 to the county for backtaxes on the 107-acrts tract.
In addition the JoA.es heirs mustpay Eugene H. Hurley, Nassauattorney, $20,000 in counsel fees— fixed by the Court.

After F i r e Departmentv Warning Of Danger From
Gas And Electricity.
The ' Long island Lighting Com-pany was urged to keep a heavyduty emergency truck constantlyon duty in Huntington Township inorder to prev ent loss of life fro mlive wire and Ignited gas mains ,by a unanimous vote of the TownHoard on Tuesday.
/fho Board w a s alerted to thedanger by .lames ,j. Vaughn , repre-senting the Hunt ing ton Manor FlicDepartment, who said prompt ac-tion was needed to overcome thepossibility of disaster.
Mr. Vaughn pointed to the dang-erous possibilities of a recentbreak in a gus main on New YorkAvenue and Depot itoad severa lweeks ago. The Manor Fire Depart-ment, he said, didn 't have theequipment hi deal w ilh such anemergenty, and it was only aftera second track lu.d been dispatch-ed by the Lighting Company thattfie danger «'«s overcome. He saidtlie Lighting Company had noticeof the condition us proved by thefac t that Its inick was there f iveminutes afu-r the fire siren wassounded, and stayed unti l the firewas put out.
On another occasion. Mr. Va ughnsuid two firemen narrowly escap-ed electrocution from a live wire.He urged die Hoard to get thenames of Lighting Company em-ployees In Ihe immediate v ic in i tywho are authorized to deal withsuch emergencies . If there me none,be said the company should beforced to designate them, and if itrefused , tho matter should be re-ported to the Public Service Com-mission.
Justice Giorge A. Hahn recalledthat gas fro m the escaping mainllad caught on fire, creating a flameunder pressure that was four feet 'vide and fifteen feet high, and was,lie said , like a. giant blow torch. Itwas Judge Hahn who offered thoresolution asking tho Lighting Com-pany, to J>eep a heavy duty cmer-genoy . truck on -dutjt In the- town-ulup at'u|l limes,¦ Supervisor Fasbender wan Au-thorized to sign it contract , subjectto a mandatory referendum to pur-chase two parcels of property onthe South Plaza at Huntington Sta-tion from the Long island Itnllroad at a cost of $30,000.

Huntington voters will have achance to vote on the first classtown proposition on November 3,as the result of a resolution adopt-ed unanimously by the Town Boardon Tuesday.
Although all members ot theHoard voted "yes" SupervisorWalter Fasbender said he wouldhave preferred to have the posi-tion voted on earlier , so that thefirs t class town could have beenIn effect by January 1, 1954.However to assure a voteon the proposition this year, hesaid he would support the resolu-tion. Justice William B. Titusechoed the Supervisor's words, andalso voted for the resolution.
A letter from John A. Squalr ,president of the Huntington Town-ship Chamber of Commerce, urgedThe Board to take the action'necessary to make Hunflngton atown of the first class by Janu-ary 1, 195-1. • '

The Board split Its vote, threeto two on two resolutions Tuesday.
Supervisor Fasbender and JudgeTitus voted "no" on a resolution toappoint Carmine Petrone and Don-ald Bull to posts as aids to thebuilding inspector.
