Mr. Henry G. Shearouse, Jr., Associate Librarian
requesting the Committee not to loan any more
of the State's books, and to recall those presently
out on loan.

asking that tax monies not be spent in support
of Joseph Molino's petition to force the disconti­nuance

the Village Board of Trustees of Farmingdale.
The petition read'' We, the under­signed
taxpayers of the Village of
Farmingdale, Inc., and residing at
die address set opposite our name
below, hereby respectfuhypetition
the Board of Trustees oi the Vil­lage
of Farmingdale, Inc., to re­frain
from spending our tax monies
in an effort to support the desire
and intention of Joseph Molino,
et. al., to force the discontinuance
of the business of Morris Karp
& Son at 81 Secatogue Avenue,
Farmingdale, where this concern
has operated continuously since
1930."
" Our reason for signing this peti­tion
is that we believe diat Morris
Kary & Son have a legal, exist­ing,
conconforming use and to
disturb or prevent its continuance
will run into endless legal battles
at great co& t to our Yii^ qe with­out
any prospect of success."'
• We believe Uiat Morris Karp
& Son has faithfully and diligently
attempted to remedy and correct
any conditions in the past which
were the source of any complaints
made by its neighbors. We believe
that this exhibition of good faith
made by Morris Karp & Son, to-gedier
with the protection afforded
this community by the health laws
enforced by various government
agencies is adequate in this case."
* We sincerely trust this petition
will be given as much consider-,
ation as the one presented recently •
to the Village Board of Trustees
by Joseph Molino, et. al."
