In other action Monday night, the Pine Hill board ap- proved an agreement with the State Department of Trans- portation foi' the use of old route 28 and Main street through the village as a detour while the new highway is clo.sed during a major bridge repair next summer. The agreement provides that the state will resurface the de- tour route before it is used and maintain it for the duration of the detour. In the event the bridge repair contract is not completed before the winter of 1971-72, snow and ice will be removed. Maintenance of tim- ber flooring on two bridges and policing of the route during peak traffic periods were also asked of the state.

The plaintiff con- tends that the 1960 truck had been improperly inspected be- fore the crash. Mr. Calabrese and another son, Terry, were injured in the accident.

Town Board Adopts "Ethics Code" Binding On Shandaken Personnel Phoenicia, Sept. 17. — Large delegations of Shandaken resi- dents turned out for the town board meeting and hearing held last week Wednesday night at the towTi hall in Shandaken. The hearing on a proposed “code of ethics” for all elective or appointive town employes, drew many questions, but the town law was adopted unani- mously. In the board meeting, Fred Muelich of the town planning board reported that it would cost ,between $5,000 and $10,000 to have experts come to Shan- daken to make a study of zon- ing. Mr. Muelich also an- swered a question from a Woodland Valley resident to the effect that no part of the town could be zoned unless all the town was zoned. When the board demurred at the cost of the zoning study, a resident suggested that it be raised by popular subscription. The board felt that the money could be used to buy needed replacement equipmertt for the town highway department. Twenty residents of Mount Tremper were'at the meeting to request that they be per- mitted to string television cables over and under town highways in that community. Ed West spoke of trailer assessments in the town and on the building of town roads to recently drawn specifications. Highway Superintendent Archie Aley reiterated that all new roads being built in the town with intentions of having the town take them over must be built to these specifications. Phoenicia Fire Chief Neil Grant spoke about a no-tres - passing sign that was erected on a highway in that com- munity. He was advised to enter the property in case of an emergency. According to town records the road in ques- tion is a town highway, and an action is now pending in court to force a right-of-way for residents of the locality. Mr. Grant also asked about a report of the Phoenicia dis- trict fire commissioners rela- tive to establishing a 24-hour central system in the town hall for fire, constable and ambu- lance calls. The board an- swered that it had received no request for this yet. Mrs. George Bedell told board members that space taken for the central justice court in the town hall had cur- tailed space for blood bank drawings. If further space is taken, Mrs. Bedell said the Town of Shandaken nursing committee would have to seek other means of carrying on blood banks. She also stated that heavier electrical service and more outlets are needed in the town hall and questioned the building’s water supply. The board stated that this had been tested by the State De- partment of Health at Albany and was rated “very good.” Leonard Ford of the board of assessors was appointed chairman to fill the vacancy created by the death of Edward Lee. He will serve as chairman until Jan. 1, anfi an assessor will be elected in November to fill the vacancy. Mr. Ford is in his third year . as an assessor. Richard Merwin was re- appointed dog enumerator for 1971.

Project Monday Three persons appeared a^ the hearing held by the Mar- garetville village board last week W'ednesday night seeking further information about the realignment of Cemetery road and a proposed culvert over the binnekill to provide a new intersection with Main street. At the hearing, in addition to the board members were Dr. William Kavanaugh, Fred Baessler and Richard Lathan. Following the hearing, the board moved to call a referen- dum of village voters. This has been set for Monday, Sept. 21 , and will be held from noon until 9 a. m. at the village clerk’s office in the Masonic building on Main street. The referendum will deter- mine whether the village should acquire two properties neces- sary for the proposed align- ment. These are the house and land of Mrs. Henry Kurdt, bordering the binnekill and Main street between the prop- erties of Mr. Baessler and Les- ter Squires, and a parcel of land on the north side of the stream between the binnekill and the present Cemetery road. This is owned by Mrs. Susie Buckalew. The proposed construction would provide a twin-tube cul - vert across the binnekill. op- posite the Margaretville ceme- tery to provide a new inter- section with Main street.

Accident Toll Hearing Dates Are Set For New Expressway Albany, Sept. 17. — T. W. Parker, New York state com- missioner of transportation, announced Wednesday that the Department of Transportation will hold a series of public hearings on the proposed Dela- w are-St. Lawrence Expressway through the eastern part of the state. Hearings for this area are scheduled at Sidney and Oneonta. Time for both hearings is 7:30 p. m. The Sidney hearing will be Tuesdaj-, Oct. 27, at the Sidney recreation center. The Oneonta hearing is Wednesday, Oct. 28, at the cafeteria of the junior high school. At the hearings at different locations, the department will seek data, views, comments and opinions of local officials, civic organizations and area resi- dents concerning effects the proposed expressway would have on the counties of Dela- ware, Broome, Chenango, Herkimer, Jefferson, Lewis, Madison, Oneida, Otsego and St. Lawrence. The hearings are being sched- uled in response to a request earlier this year by Governor Rockefeller that the depart- ment expedite studies for the proposedr' expressway, including the social, economic and en- vironmental effects it would have on the localities involved. Information gathered at the hearings will be used by the department for a needs-feasi- bility study it is conducting to evaluate how effectively an expressway through this east- central corridor would promote economic gi’owth in the area. Department representatives will discuss its studies for the route and views will be sought on what effects the expressway would have on the development of the 10 -county area and the localities within it. The proposed expressway would extend from the St. Law- rence river near Ogdensburg south through the Utica-Rome area to the Route 17 Express- way east of Binghamton. The department has identified a number of general corridor lo- cation possibilities for the route, but no decisions as to the final route location or character will be made until completion of the planning studies and consideration of the results of the public hearings.

Leon Cyens was transferred to Kingston hospital from Mar- garetville Memorial hospital, where he was taken after being found. State police said that Cyens was traveling north on the Cold Spring road when he went off the right side and over the bank. The car struck a tree, which probably saved it from a violent plunge to the foot of the waterfall. Mr. Cyens re- ported that it was foggy at the time of the accident, which state police logged at 2:30 a. m. Mr. Cyens escaped from the wreckage by crawling through the broken 'windshield. He crawled to the bank, where he lay in a state of shock until Ray Higgins came along, fol- lowed by Scott Gordon, who was delivering milk. They called to Roxbury fire depart- ment ambulance to take him to the hospital. State police said that his in- juries included a broken leg and numerous cuts and abra- sions. An 82-year-old Long Island man was injured in a two-car collision on route 30 north of Margaretville early Monday afterno 9 n. The driver of the other car was given a summons for failure to keep right. State police said that Stan- ley M. Aldrich of Babylon was tiaveling south as a vehicle operated by William R. Cowan, 23, of Margaretville was ap- proaching northbound. They .said that Cowan - attempted a left turn in front of the Aldrich car and struck .that vehicle. Aldrich was taken by ambu- lance to Margaretville Memorial hospital, where he was treated for a laceration of the fore- head. He also complained of a stiff neck. Both drivers were given sum- monses in a similar accident Tuesday on route 28 at Church street in Arkville. Neither was injured. In this case James W. Scud- der, 48,. of Fleischmanns was attempting to turn left into Church street in front of the westbound car operated by Francis L. Mami Jr., 18, of Arkvilie. The car Scudder was driving was struck by the Mami car. Mami was given a summons for unsafe tires, Scudder for failure to keep right.
