County Now Using Buildings The Sperry laboratories at first w'll occupy one iactory building and the ground floor of another building of the Curtiss Wright plant at Stewart Ave. and Clinton Road, Garden City, taking over more space later as it becomes available.

Some of the welfare people will double up in restricted quarters and others are to be moved to space now rented by the county.
