Anderson and Minority Leader Joseph Zaretski.O%u2019Shea said the current limitation of 10 cents per eligible voter is wholly inoperable and ineffective and cited a recent New York Magazine report (Dec. 11, 1972 p. 44) that one Mayoral Candidate expected to raise a campaign fund of $1.5 million. %u201cMy own advisors,%u201d O%u2019Shea continued, %u201ctell me that about $25,000 is required in a State Assembly race and that $50,000 is required to effectively campaign for the New York City Council.O%u2019Shea described three major loopholes in the current law and suggested a formula approach to establish an absolute expenditure ceiling for campaigns in New York City: (1.) Though the committees of a single candidate are bound by the present law joint committees for two or more candidates are apparently immune to any control. (2.) Independent committees (say the XYZ Law and Order Committee) are apparently unrestrained by the present law. (3.) Incumbents are entitled to defray many of the costs of campaigning from their own packets as an expense of office that need not be reported to the New York Secretary of State.%u201cThe only effective remedy is to set an absolute expenditure, not contributions, ceiling for the campaign for each office. Perhaps this ceiling should be expressed as some reasonable multiple of the salary of the office involved,%u201d he said.Canal G roup to Trip; Seeks Fed. Fund OKBY lY N N t GKli-OThe members of the newly formed Gowanus Canal Redevelopment Committee have decided to make a trip next week to Washington to meet with Brooklyn%u2019s congressional representatives and lobby for federal funds necessary to build the Red Hook Interceptor Plant. Approval for the funding must be obtained in advance of the March 1 cut off date for the federal sewer aid project.Raw sewage that now flows into the canal from the surrounding areas would be stopped by the interceptor. Once that is done, the $1.1 million dredging process once planned by the Army Corps of Engineers could be reopened, City Water Commissioner Martin Lang speculated.On February 13, the City and State Committee, a subgroup of the Ad Hoc Committee to Clean the Gowanus, met at the Carroll Gardens Branch of the Public Library and madeplans to contact puonc officials at the local and state levels and obtain from them, in writing, a firm commitment to support and participate in the movement to get the contaminated waters cleaned and the canal bed dredged. In all, the subcommittee will send 23 letters to such officials as Gov. Rockefeller, Lt. Gov. Malcolm Wilson, Henry Diamond, and all candidates for the offices of mayor and boro president.March 8 is the date set for the second meeting of the Gowanus Redevelopment Committee. At that time the members will engage in a discussion, along with officials from the City Department of Water Resources, of the planning and the action taken on the canal clean-up to date. Eileen Dugan, chairwoman of the Ad Hoc Gowanus Committee, has announced that her group will hold a public meeting on Mon., Feb. 26, 8:00 p.m., at St. Mary%u2019s Church auditorium, on Court St.Methodist ExpandsContinued from Page 3Southern New York, Inc., the Park Slope Health Care Task Force charged recently.While Methodist publicly states that its sole intention is to replace its 562 obsolete beds, closer examination of both the hospital%u2019s Urban Design Associates Report and its recent communications with Community Planning Board No. 6 reveals that the hospital is actually seeking the land that will permit expansion of up to 1500 beds, the group stated.The UDA Report indicates that the proposed Extended Care Wingon Seventh Ave. will contain between 400 - 500 beds. The UDA report further indicates that the Acute Care Wing (Patient Tower) will contain between 575 and 750 beck, while between 100 and 200 beds will be left in the up-tostandard Miner Pavilion. This gives a total of from 1,075 to 1,450 beds,%u201d the Task Force said.A study the Task Force has completed on this subject has been sent to both the Health and Hospitals Planning Council and the NYC Comprehensive Health Planning Agency.Pesce Votes For No-Fault InsuranceContinued from Page 7Pesce had joined a group of other Democratic Assemblymen in extracting a committment from the Republican leadership to consider the amendments this session and to pass at least three. The amendments are: (1)limitation and control of insurance company profits (2) including theterm %u201csubstantial impairment%u201d as well as %u201cpermanent loss of use of a body organ, member, function or system.%u201d (3) increase in the present allowance of $25 per day for an injured housewife.Assemblyman Pesce is heading a task force of Assemblymen in the drafting and submission erf these Amendments in which someCRANLYN MEATSp r im e m ea ts & p o u ltr yFish - S. & w .

According to Pesce, the Task Force will lead the movement to consider other Amendments.Pesce noted that the real solution in no-fault may lie in adopting uniform federal standards and rules that would apply across the country. In a letter to Congressmen John Rooney and Hugh Carey, he stated that %u201cduring the course of various debates and meetings, it became increasingly clear that a nationwide no-fault insurance plan should be devised and enacted.%u201d The Assemblyman urged the two Congressmen to consider taking action in such direction.Anyone who has opinions and suggestions on these Amendments and on the bill itself may contact Assemblyman Pesce at 286 Court St., or by calling 625-6862 or 875- 2311./We're not.
