Farracut League Sees Zone Fight BlockingProgress Improvements Held Up as Property Owners Await Possible Change Obstacles encouhtered by the Far ragut Civic League in effecting a change from unrestricted to business zone in the area bounded by Albany Uttca Olenwood and Farragut Roads is credited wltn the blocking of a number of physi cal Improvements by members of the organization. One owner, according to Chairman George Lens of the municipal committee of the league, would not sign a petition for flagging and curbing E.

43d St. because he feared that his investment would be lost should an adjacent owner decide to erect a factory on his parcel. He was willing to Join the right for re sonlng, however, and announced his intentions of ereotlng a 35-family apartment house as soon as the business zone building re strictions were rased. Lack Signatures This particular curbing and flagging Job, between Glenwood and Farragut Roads on E. 43d had been held up due to the lack of sufficient signatures to the petitions, according to a letter from Borough President Hesterberg, read at last night's meeting of the group at Pub lie School 198.

Only 23 percent of the affected owners have signed, the minimum requirement being 51 percent. The sewer has been completed In Farragut Road between E. 43d and E. 45th Lens reported, so no further obstacle is offered to plans for paving this stretch.

It can be viewed In the back yard of Charles Napolitan, 90 E. 37th St. The Hofstadter Committee's yew-old grist mill has produced nothing to date with the $750,000 appropriated tor Instituting municipal economies except a stepping stone to a presidential nomination for its chief inquisitor, Samuel Seabury, Assembly Minority Leader Steingut declared last night. And this creation of a potential presidential candidate, at the expense of the people of New York, will be capped on next month when Seabury examines Mayor Walker, Steingut told the Farragut Civic League meeting at Public School 198, Farragut Road and E.

42a St. "The counsel will try to build a picture that will demand the Mayor's removal. But it is not a sincere desire to remove him but a wish to embarrass the Governor on the eve of the nominating Hon that is motivating Mr. Seabury. Awkward Position "With the counsel's charges In his lap, the Governor will be placed in an awkward position.

It he acts honestly and rightly he will be declared a friend of Tammany. If he removes the Mayor, he will be labeled an independent Democrat "I hope Governor Roosevelt will do the honest thing and ignore the committee's charges, not take the step that will feather Mr. Seabury's own nest," the Democratic leader of the Assembly concluded. Stelngut's blast at the tactics of the Republican-controlled legislative committee, of which he is a member, began with a defense of ShertH Farley's famous bank deposits. Protested Inquiries The legislator from John H.

Mc-Cooey's own 18th A. D. "told Seabury he had no right to dig into bank accounts. "You can take my bank account over a period of six years and I'm willing to bet that it will show five times the amount of deposits as my true income amounted to in that time, without checking up. "Many of these deposits I couldn't explain tonight, but that doesn't mean they were dishonest.

We all borrow money to pay other debts. We take from Tom to pay Peter. But I defy Seabury to And a penny that was taken out of the coffers of the city." Seabury's position that lack of an explanation for the source of a deposit Is an admission of guilt was ridiculed by the speaker, especially, he added, when the examined personal balances were nil. It's a fundamental principle of American law that the burden of proof is on the accuser, not the accused, he maintained, and Sheriff Farley has not been proven guilty of wrongdoing. Only Headlines Seabury's grist mill ground out nothing but sensational headlines, Steingut averred, the investigators neglecting completely their avowed job of consolidating bureaus toward greater municipal economy.

He referred to the efforts of the Democratic members of the committee to get the Investigators into action in Columbia County, "where public officials actually looted the city," and up-State cities. The five Democratic members of the 12-man committee were voted down, however, the sole purpose of the investigators being "to put New York City's administration in a false light." "Up-State men come to the city with unclean hands to criticize our local government. That's hypocrisy in its worst form." American-Italian Club in 2d Lauded Members of the American-Italian Democratic Club of the 2d A. D. were the recipient of congratulations last night from Nicholas De Prospo, acting chairman, for their aid in the record-breaking primary victory of the Thomas G.

Ryan-Lillian M.

Prompt Light Installations! New Lamps Illuminate! Gloomy TwoBlock Stretch on Avenue East Flatbush congratulated it self, and, incidentally, Harry T. Woods, Deputy Commissioner of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity, last night on what was considered a singularly fortunate civic experience with the borough authorities. Additional street lights were asked for a tree-shaded, gloomy two-block stretch of Avenue near Public School 208, some time ago by the East Flatbush Improvement Association. A letter from Commissioner Woods, apprising the civic group that the contract had been approved for installing a number of new lights in the suggested area, was read at last night's meeting of the civics, but Woods was slower than his workmen. Lights In Use The poles have been erected and the lights were all ready for the switch several days ago, according to President Edward Heffernan.

'And we want to thank Mr. Woods for his prompt action," Heffernan declared," especially in these times of retrenchment. 'Those two blocks were a favor ite parking place and congregating spot for undesirables. Dark as It was, women and children of the neighborhood feared to walk home from the Utlca Ave. trolley at night.

The light are a timely improvement indeed." The Improvement Association will be represented by Mrs. Charlotte Holt in the Brooklyn Civic Council's tours of bus routes for which revisions are contemplated, it was announced last night. Ask Direct Service The group reiterated its conten tion of last Summer that East Flatbush should be given direct bus service to the Newklrk Ave. express station of the B. M.

T. Their solu tlon for this problem is the link ing of Route B-10, the Avenue line which turns south at Bedford Ave. under the present routing, with B-8, which spans central Flatbush via Newklrk Ave. The civics urge, furthermore, that the Avenue buses be run an additional third of a mile north of the present terminus at Kings Highway to Tiioen High school.

That passengers, after leaving the express at Flanklln are Jammed on the platforms in numbers constituting a menace to life and limb before the Flatbush-bound trains arrive, was the contention of members.

The association met at Flatlands Memorial Hall, Nostrand kt Avenue I. Similar unsatisfactory service was remedied about a year ago following civic agitation, according to President Fred A. J. Zlckert. A current economy policy was blamed for the curtailment of the Flatbush car service by Frank W.

White, former president of the property owners, and Abbott L. Hayden, who raised the issue of the slack service. Score Trolleya A similar defection in the schedules of the Flatbush Ave. trolleys In the morning rush hours was the subject of considerable criticism. Cars leave the Avenue barns in the morning, pick up passengers along the route as far as the Intersection of Nostrand and Flatbush drop their loads and turn on a switch at that point back to the southern extremity Of the line, Zickert averred.

"The service is maintained solely as a feeder for the I. R. T. subway, which terminates at Flatbush and Nostrand," he said. "Riders wishing to go to North Flatbush or downtdwn by trolley are given no consideration.

They must get off and must wait patiently for the occasional cars which make the through trip in the morning."
