Ambro Asks LI Court Dist
Congressman Jerome A.
Ambro ( 3rd- N. Y.) has drafted
and introduced a bill establishing
a separate federal judicial
district for the counties of Nassau
and Suffolk.
The legislation would separate
the counties from the present
Eastern Federal District and
create a " Northeastern District"
TO CONFIRM 4M: The Moat
Rev. James J. Daly, Auxiliary
Bishop of the Diocese of Rock-ville
Centre, will administer the
sacrament of confirmation to
approximately 400 youngsters in
St. Kilian's Church, Far­mingdale,
on Tuesday, May 17.
Rev. Donald R. Shane is pastor
of St. Kilian's parish.
for the bi- county region. A new
U. S. courthouse and federal
complex would have to be built on
Long Island, if the Ambro
recommendation is successful.
The Eastern District, the third
most populous in the nation with
more than 7.5- million people, is
now headquartered in Brooklyn.
It includes Staten Island,
Brooklyn, Queens, in addition to
Nassau and Suffolk.
According to Ambro, setting up
a new district represents a more
realistic effort than merely
calling for construction of
another U. S. federal court
building to serve as an annex to
the existing facilities in
Brooklyn.
Judiciary Committee Chair­man
Peter Rodino said Ambro's
bill will be referred to the
Federal Judicial Conference for
review and recommendation.
The conference is made up of
high level federal judges from
across the country and is chaired
by the Chief Justice of the U. S.
Supreme Court, Warren Burger.
If the idea for a new judicial
district is approved by the con­ference,
the House Judiciary
Committee will then rule on the
legislation. Once passed by
Congress and enacted into law,
planning for construction of the
complex would begin.
Ambro, a member of the
Subcommittee on Buildings and
Grounds o? the Public Works
Committee, has received
assurances from the panel's
chairman, Congressman Norman
Mineta of California, that the
prospectus for construction
would be considered soon after
creation of the district.
One problem that arose in
drafting the legislation was a
requirement that a specific site
be chosen and location of the
buildings spelled out in the bill.
Since competition for the site
selection among several Long
Island municipalities would be
great, making its location con­troversial,
the language in the
bill states that the " Court for the
Northeastern District shall be
held at a suitable site within such
district not more than five miles
from the boundary of Nassau and
Suffolk Counties."
When a specific site must be
chosen, the language will be
amended to incorporate a
location agreed upon by in­terested
officials at the federal
and local levels, the respective
county bar associations and
private citizens.
The proposed district will soon
contain 3- million people, Ambro

to attend the final general
meeting will obtain their booth
assignments and their iden­tification
buttons at the com­mand
post next to the police
booth on the Main Street side of
the Village Green on the morning
of the fair, Saturday, May 21.
Over 80 booths have been
registered thus far for the fair in
addition to the artists who will
display their works along Main
Street. The placement of booths
on the Village Green will be
complicated mis year due to the
construction in progress on the
Village Hall; Booth areas ad­jacent
to the Village Hall will not
be available this year because of
the construction of the federally
funded addition to the building.
Booths that cannot be ac­commodated
on the " green" will
be located on Main Street or in
the adjacent parking lot.
Two entertainment centers will
be set up at opposite ends on
Main Street. The Town of Oyster
Bay Snowmobile will be located
in front of the Main Street School.
The Nassau County Snowmobile
will be located at Front and Main
Streets. Continuous en­tertainment
will be provided
from 11 a. m. to 8: 30 pm. at the
two locations.
Joining the celebration, the
Farmingdale merchants will be
offering sidewalk sale bargains
in front of their stores. A special
supplement to the Farmingdale
Post will be published next week
listing the booth placements,
entertainment schedule, special
events and sales specials offered
by the village stores.
