The fact that we took five of the places (Ferraioli, Dugan, Drago, Brooks and Conner) shows that Democrats in our area do want to see the party reformed in its way.%u201dIND President Joe Bruno remarked that %u201c the regulars really pushed their slates in the CarrollCandidate's NiteGerry O%u2019Brien, Director of TeenAge Republicans for the Second Judicial District (Brooklyn and Staten Island), announced that the TARS of the 2nd J.D. would be sponsoring, a Republican candidates night on Monday, June 25 at 8:00 PM at the Park Republican Club.

The tie, which then required a vote from the Chairman, Donald Elliott, was broken the former head of the City Planning Commission voted for the Mangano amendment.Though the yea voters emphasize the fact that the entireMan LeapsOff BridgeFor reasons still unknown, Robert KirSch, 25, of East 20th St., leaped 135 ft. from a Brooklyn Bridge catwalk into the East River last Saturday at 5:50 p.m.Kirsch, in critical condition in the intensive care unit at Beekman-Downtown Hospital, used a painter%u2019s tarpaulin as a makeshift parachute when he jumped off the Manhattan side of the bridge.

Five of the original 11 acres of the gas works are now occupied by the Peter Galasso-owned Antarenni Iron Works, and a recent sale of another portion of the site was made by Galasso to Rose Ferrara, who is said to be planning an additional light manufacturing set up.Heavy manufacturing or M-3was never the question says Levine, but rather the decision foror against using the site and ultimately the entire area surrounding the canal, for essentially residential purposes. The question transcends the High School issue and revolves around the choice between housing, parks, and cultural facilities for the Gowanus area or trucks, manufacturing and pollution, he believes. The people who voted for the amendment are essentially opposed to the residential R-6 zoning, Levine feels.So far the Mayor%u2019s Committee Chairman, Don Elliott has not responded to PHOENIX requests for a statement relating to his decisive vote.New Gallery OpensThe new Con Ed Building, 30 Flatbush Avenue, is the new home for a major exhibition center of the arts %u2014 The Kings Gallery.
