handed the lad up to Capello who was dangling head down from the trestle while the others held his feet He passed the boy up to Vadala and Taft A man at edge called Croton police and the boy was taken home before the rescuers could learn the name Biro later called Croton police and asked who the youngster was and could learn only that his last name was Hughes and that he lived somewhere in Croton ville picked up my newspaper last Mrs Harvey said Wednesday afternoon I read the words ton and year old and thought no could that be I read the story I realized how serious it was and what had

be identified Because North Tarrytown has not adopted the Emergency Tenant Protection Act (ETPA) the re maining apartments are not protected by any rent guidelines As leases expire in those apartments rents have been increased by as much as 50 percent the tenant spokesman said Wednesday The increase for the rent controlled apartments was approved by the state housing office last month based on economic data for Westchester County ac cording to the local rent administrator Geraldine Waggoner That data showed that expenses of operating an apartment building in the county have risen sub stantially" over the past two years and that the 30 percent increase granted to Van Tassel Ms Waggoner said One recourse tenants have against the increased rents is to show that essential services are not being provided and moves toward that end have already begun Approximately 30 Var Tassel tenants appeared Continued from page because it decided that the controversial church was too with politi

with the understanding he could use the high school road Since buying the property he said he has been shuttled from board to board to find an access accepta ble to all concerned parties Dinan said the suit is being filed we have no alternative than to establish very firmly that we do have access up that school The school board contends traffic to and from the planned development of 60 housing units through the high school campus would be dangerous to students The board argues the proposed development could be reached via Riverview Road and Peter Bont Road Riverview in October 1981 agreed

optimistic too The Argentine statement did not list any conditions for a cease fire or for a permanent settlement Argen tina previously insisted that Britain recognize its sovereignty over the islands before evacuation of the troops while the British demanded that the wishes of the 1800 pro British alkland islanders be considered in determining sovereignty Perez de Cuellar refused to make public his peace plan but informed sources said it included a cease fire withdrawal of Argentine and British forces from the alklands area and appointment of a UN administra tor for the islands while
