Farmland (Continued from Page 1) At the urging of Legislator Paul Baisley of Huntington, the county legislature Tuesday revised its long dormant local law to govern beverage containers. First proposed in 1972, the local law died when the state legislature made plans to govern the use of bottles and cans for beverages. However, the proposed state legis- lation died in Albany early this year. The local law would require bever- ages be sold in reusable containers, and would halt the use of “flip-top" cans, and the selling of beverages held together by plastic loop retain- ers. Following a public hearing, the legislators at the urging of Legis- lator Louis Fuoco of Patchoguc. adopted a local law creating the Suffolk County Handicap Advisory Board. The advisory board when named, will promote interest for the health, safety and welfare of handi- capped residents, in the fields of education, legislation, housing, hu- man rights, rehabilitation, vocational training and transportation. The legislators took on the Metro- politan Transportation Authority and the Long Island Railroad, authorizing County Exeutive Klein to withhold funds given annually for non-existant station maintenance of the stations in Suffolk. The reason for the action was the death of a Huntington man on Dec. 1, 1974, who was trapped in a door of one of the LlRR's new cars and dragged to his death at Hunting- ton Station; A similar incident oc- curred only two months ago at the same Station, but this time the commuter escaped with his life. The resolutions, pushed by County Legislators from Huntington and Michael Grant, presiding officer, authorized Klein to withhold up to $2.35 million in the station mainten- ance payment, and further author- ized County Attorney Howard Pach- man to bring legal action against the MTA and LIRR. This legal action would require the railroad “ to provide safe and adequate service", and would stay any fare increases until safety precautions are imple- mented. One hazard referred to is that the Huntington station is built so that the engineer cannot see the rear cars of his train, because of the curved track.
