Brooklynites now recognize as never before, that a community of this size and potential cannot be subservient to Manhattan. %u201cNow for the first time in history, Brooklyn received more budget dollar per capita this year than the other boroughs. It was justly apportioned a greater allocation than ever before,%u201d he said.%u201cWithin the last few days, a united Brooklyn community - public officials - community leaders - convinced the State Board of Regents that the new Baruch College must be built in Brooklyn. We convinced the highest educational authorities in New York that a campus in the hub area in Brooklyn for this great school is much more important than a Manhattan address in an office building.\intend to pursue the %u2019Fair Share for Brooklyn%u2019 concept in the coming four years. I am delightedto say that at last we have the H oyt-Scherm erhorn Housing development under way in the Downtown area that will provide 1,250 apartments near Borough Hall. The Downtown Brooklyn Urban Development project to rehabilitate Brooklyn's central business district is acknowledted to be the fastest moving urban development in the City of New York. Plans are under way to devel i a mall in the Fulton Street shopping area to make our Downtown business community competitive with outlying and suburban shopping facilities.%u201cThe City and State must now listen to Brooklyn%u2019s demands for a coliseum to provide accommodation for the intercollegiate sports and cultural programs of Brooklyn%u2019s higher educational institutions.%u201cTo get a fair share for Brooklyn, I voted against the Convention Center on the west side of Manhattan that is going to cost over $200 million and which will be an environmental monstrosity attracting thousands of automobiles to further pollute Manhattan. 1 can%u2019t see spending $200 million in a borough that already has a Coliseum at Columbus Circle before we spend $20 million for a facility that would serve the two and a half million people of Brooklyn, America%u2019s fourth largest city.%u201cAt the same time, 1 am not going to sit idly by and watch precious subsidy money in government grants poured intoBROOKLYN PHILHARMONIAat the B roo klyn Academy of Music Sunday, January 20, 1974 3:00 PMMUSIC to SHAKESPEARELUKAS FOSS, Conductor & Musical Advisor\\\Soloists:ROHAN MC CULLOUGH, N arrator COLIN DUFFY, Boy SopranoV IR G IN IA BITAR, Soprano HARRIS POOR, BassBROOKLYN PHIL HARMON1 CHORAL SOCIETYDavid Aurelius Director| $ 6 .5 0 ,5 . 5 0 ,4 50, j . 50, Y o u t h Rush r ic kets.

The construction of the new college is expected tohave a major impact on cleaning up the Atlantic-Flatbush intersection. Borough President%u201cSam%u201d Leone credits an aroused community and effective public officials with cinching thedecision, which had been originally made six years earlier, then rescinded. Members of thedelegation who traveled to Albany in December to appear before the Board of Regents included: (bottom row) Assemblyman Vito Battista, Borough ^President Sebastiane Leone,Councilman Kenneth Haber and Councilwoman Ruth Lemer; (second row) Rev. Anthony Failla,chairman of Community Planning Board 2, Council Majority Leader Thomas Cuite, CouncilmanHoward Golden, Mrs. Frances Mitchell of Planning Board 2, Council Minority Leader AngeloArculeo and Councilman-elect Samuel Horwitz; and (top row) Blaise Parascandola, counsel toMr. Cuite; Councilman Luis Olmedo, Council staff members John Dereszewski and AnthonyPanza, and Councilman-at-large Robert Steingu.Battery Park City and Manhattan Landing. I have opposed and voted against those projects and I will continue to do so because they drain away the city funds that should be more equitably invested in the Borough of Brooklyn. It may sound provincial but the fact remains that there has been a Manhattan orientation in city administration.%u201cI am especially pleased that during the last four years we have been able to bring long awaited historic designation to communities like Park Slope, Stuyvesant Heights, CarrollGardens. The Boerum Hill designation will come before the Board of Estimate within a few weeks and I see no reason why it should not be adopted.%u201cIam working with the people of Fort Greene to gain early consideration for this most historic and architecturally attractive section of the borough and I hope to see additional areas brought before the Landmarks Preservation Commission and the Board of Estimate for approval.Leone also wants more transportation aid for Brooklyn. %u201cTheSeasonedF IR E W O O DMixed Northern Hardwood25 or 40 pound bagsCall: S. Azadian at ST 3-4047Delivery To Your Homehalf-price fare on Sundays has been a great success,%u201d he noted. %u201cWhy can%u2019t it be tried on Saturdays and olidays as well? This would discourage use of auto transport, greatly reduce the air pollution problem and be most practical during the current fuel crisis. Last April, the city of Atlanta cut its bus fare from forty-five to fifteen cents and wound up the year with a $45 million dollar surplus. We might very well follow their example.%u201dLeone said Brooklyn%u2019s waterfront, which he dubbed %u201cthe backbone of the borough%u2019s economy%u201d should be considerably revitalized once two new containerports, recently approved, become operational. These new facilities will help halt the emigration of cargo and manpower to New Jersey and other Eastern seaboard ports. They will also provide about 500 new jobs; about 2,000 in allied field and preserve about 4,000 others.The B.P. added he would press implementation of a plan he submitted to the State Charter Study Commission in which electedContinued on Page 14
