In addition, he plans to pressure for doubling the Housing Authority police, or if this is not forthcoming, abolish that setup altogether so that the City Police would be assigned to the unprotected projects.In the Council itself Wittich promises to refuse to accept an inadequate budget, or a job freeze when he believes it inappropriate.

One of the guiding forces behind the group is Jack Pintchik, owNer of the Pintchik Paint Company, who has recently been named chairman of the Community Growth Committee. Mr. Pintchik, a community leader who has supported the Triangle Parks Committee from its inception, was largely responsible for the building of the Sixth Ave. Triangle Park, which was dedicated last week in his father%u2019s name. His committee%u2019s main responsibility will be to improve the business climate of the area and to stimulate enthusiasm among merchants already located there. One of his first priorities will be to organize a Flatbush Avenue M erchant%u2019s Association.The group is currently conducting a survey of merchant problems, initiating a membership drive, and planning a newsletter. They will meet on May 23rd to elect a new slate of officers.Coincidental to the committee%u2019s plans, the city has announced its intention to repave Flatbush Ave. along this very section this summer. In addition, the installation of a computerized traffic light system to facilitate the movement of traffic through the area is planned. %u201cThis is, of course, good news for us,%u201d commented Mr. Graham, %u201cBut we%u2019re going to keep a close eye on these developments.
