Hearing Held on Local JudgeA Prospect Heights resident and Civil Court Judge in Brooklyn, Judge Norman Shilling, is being investigated by The State Commission on Judicial Conduct after complaints that Shilling had %u201c violated various provisions of the Code of Judicial Conduct%u201d by attempting to use his position as a judge to influence proceedings concerning a Brooklyn animal shelter. Although all proceedings by the Commission, which is charged with investigating complaints about judges statewide, are required to be done in secrecy, on this occasion Shilling requested that the hearing before a referee be held publicly. The hearing, held on Oct. 31, 1979, will be followed by a decision to dismiss the charges or to sanction (he judge through censure, admonishment, or removal, according to the Commission Administrator, Gerald Stern.Shilling is charged with having made a comment in the courtroom to the judge hearing a case concerning the animal shelter run by the Associated Humane Societies of New Jersey located at 224 Atlantic Ave. in Brooklyn. He is charged also with having contacted officials regarding the need for a permit for the shelter, of having %u201clent prestige of his office to advance the private interests of the Associated Humane Societies,%u201d and with having behaved %u201c in a visibly angry manner, shouted, screamed, and threatened to use influence%u201d as he conversed outside the courtroom after the case was heard.Shilling%u2019s attorney, Stanley Steinhaus, says that Shilling, who is a Board member of the Associated Humane Societies, has acted as a private person on behalf of the group. %u201c All we are doing,%u201d Steinhaus adds, %u201c is saying that even if some of this is so, there is nothing wrong with it.%u201d%u2014L .H .Vinegar Hill Streets ClosedA problem seems to be brewing between some Vinegar Hill residents and the Consolidated Edison Company. Residents had contacted Borough President Howard Golden%u2019s office to register their opposition to the proposed closing by Con-Ed of John Street between Bridge and Gold Streets only to find that the company might have illegally closed off three other streets.Golden wrote a letter to Andrew Karn, the City%u2019s Director of Mapping, to investigate the matter who in turn asked Con-Ed to investigate. Golden%u2019s letter said in part that the City Map shows that the three streets have a %u201clengthy history of City jurisdiction, including paving operations and the installation of sewers and water mains.%u201d The three streets now closed off with high fencing are Gold Street and Hudson Avnue north of John Street and Marshall Street from Gold to Hudson.Con-Ed's Brooklyn Spokesman, Jack Winter, said that %u201c Gold Street has been closed for at least six years. We don%u2019t know why it was closed off but we are trying to check and find oht. The others will also have to be checked and he added that the company is preparing a replay for the Borough President.The Borough President for his part has said that his office will take no action on the proposed closing of John Street until %u201c a satisfactory explanation has been received regarding the seemingly unauthorized and illegal closing and occupancy%u201d of the three streets.%u2014R.A.MAIN 5-5660 . . .
