Past Pres, of P.S. 29 P.. A. Longtime proponent ofideas and suggestions. During their term they have converted P.S. 27 which was said to have had one of the lowest readina scor00 'n the city, to a More Effective School (MES) with less pupils per classroom, and added special programs. The reading scores have been upped, and the school is said to have achieved a generally higher status. P.S. 107, also considered a difficult school, has become %u201ca working place of business, under the board%u2019s direction,%u201d advocates say. Though the current board voted against the Gowanus High School site two years ago with one member (said to be George Harris) dissenting, at least one participant, President Phillip Kaplan went on record at the recent Board of Ed. hearing as now in support of the Gas Works location for the school.The district board as required, will sponsor four meetings, each at a different location, to introduce the candidates old and new.HospitalChallengedContinued from Page 3if it has a perfect right under the law to evict tenants and close a street and that only community opposition is slowing them down. This is untrue. The state (Public Health Law, Sect. 28) requires any physical alteration a hospital wants to make, whether it be privately or publicly funded, to be approved by the Commissioner of Health. The Expansion Plan which requires the evictions and closing of 6th St. has never been submitted to the state, much less approved. No one can assume that it will be approved. Any action such as this is based on these approvals.%u201d Furman also charged that any suit brought to evict would be thrown out as %u201cuntimely.%u201d The hospital, under the Rent Control and Vacancy Decontrol Laws, is entitled to an eviction in furtherance of %u201ccharitable purposes%u201d only. Staff housing, the crux of the use of the Seventh Ave. site, is defined as not charitable. The fact that the hospital has not even received preliminary site approval from the state for its plans would cause an immediate dismissal.%u201dAccording to the Task Force, Methodist received, in 1971, permission to replace obsolete facilities in 1971, but has not since then submitted any of its controversial plans to the state. Any number of alternate physical plans, besides the one suggested are possible, and it is by no means indicated that the proposed one will be approved.The hospital was further attacked for seeking to lay the base for an over 1,000 bed teaching hospital contrary to state mandate to replace 562 beds it has now.%u201cReports that the hospital has postponed its plans' to close Sixth St. are false,%u201d Furman said.Furman also indicated that the Task Force would seek %u201c legislative, legal and administrative%u201d remedies to these evasive tactics. %u201cSomeone%u2019s got to enforce the law and guarantee that proper procedures are followed. No agency, State, City or Private, has had the guts to properly supervise the hospital. We may have to do it ourselves.%u201dn C1 r > i t i o v t i i r . C1 4 . .
