commodations, according to
Brigadier H. Clifford Schofield,
manager of the residence.
The Nassau Salvation Army
announced today that ap­plications
are now being ac­cepted
for September occupancy
of an estimated 50 vacancies in
the Williams Memorial
Residence for Senior Citizens, 720
West End Avenue at 95th Street in
Manhattan.
Extensive renovations on the
upper floors of the 15 story non­profit
residence operated by The
Salvation Army has made
possible the offerings of ac-
Inquiries should be made to
Brigadier Schofield.
To qualify, individuals must be
over 60 and in the case of a
married couple, one of the two
must be at least 60. Residents
may still be employed.
The residence includes various
lounges, a dining room, snack
bar, and several crafts and
recreational areas. On the roof
are a garden and solarium.
Monday night's meeting of the
Island Trees Library Board was
billed as a special meeting . . . -
and, amid a tangle of trustee
disputes, it was that . . . and
more.
The controversy centered on
whether trustee (?) James Tucci
was legally a member of the
Board. According to the last
round of a long battle with the
State Education Commissioner,
Tucci - who was elected to both
the Library and School Boards,
removed from the latter, and
then re-elected - must vacate his
Library post.
More appeals are in the' works,
however, Tucci revealed aL.the
meeting; and he probably could
not be removed at all without a
taxpayer's petition or similiar
complaint being, filed against
him.
With members Mrs. Rae Glick
and Mrs. Justine Schacter
maintaining he was off, and Mrs.
Dolores Morehouse and Mrs.
Carolyn Stowe supporting him,
Tucci ignited the fireworks by
moving to accept the minutes.
Mrs. Glick was chairing the
meeting, but her attempts to
quiet Tucci were futile. This was
partly because neither he nor his
supporters recognize her as
Board president.
Here's the story on that one:
while Tucci, Mrs. Morehouse,
and Mrs. Stowe boycotted the
Board's reorganizational
meeting Aug. 4, Mrs. Glick and
Mrs. Schacter were elected
president and vice-president.
Providing .the third vote needed
for a quorum here was Benjamin
Erlich, ah outgoing trustee.
At that time, the Board's at­torney
advised that Erlich could
vote because his replacement,
Mrs. Stowe, had not yet been
sworn in: The other side feels this
was illegal.
With one non-member (?) and
two non-officers (?) then, it was
small wonder that Monday's
meeting was fcoon out of control.
While Tucci sparred verbally
(and almost physically) with
members of the audience, the
Board tried to go through its
business, but resolved nothing
because of the 2-2 deadlock.
Tucci next called for a new
reorganizational meeting, which
went on while the original
session was still in effect. If his
vote counted, the result here was
that Mrs. Morehouse was elected
president and he, vice-president.
At this point Mrs. Glick offered
to let Mrs. Morehouse chair the
meeting. She refused as long as
Tucci was not recognized as a
member.
Two separate adjournments
followed. With" the score 2-2 on
this issue, too, Mrs. Glick
declared the meeting over and
walked out with Mrs. Schacter.
The others stayed long enough to
pass (?), 3-0, items that had been
deadlocked before.
At the end of it all, Tucci
repeated his belief that serving
on both the Library and School
Boards was not an "in­compatible"
situation, and
contended that his political foes
were trying to frustrate his
election by trumped-up charges.
The next meeting (?) is
scheduled for Sept. 15 in the
Library auditorium.
