Hon. Lester M. Albertson, Supervisor
Town of Southold
Greenport, Long Island
Dear Les:
Enclosed herewith is a copy of a letter received from
Joe Blydenburgh, Clerk of the Board indicating that it is
the desire of the members of the Board to press for the
passage of Senate Int. 1020, Prt. 1020 as against the
utilization of the authority contained in Section 10 of the
Municipal Home Rule Law.
Pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of
Section 2 of Article IX of the Constitution, Home Rule
Requests for the enactment of Senate Int. 1020, Prt. 1020
and Assembly Int. 1824, Prt. 1824 must be received from all
ten towns - nine will not do the trick. Accordingly, I am
enclosing herewith Home Rule Requests - four on the Senate
bill and four on the companion Assembly bill with the request
that these be promptly executed and returned to me for filing
at the desks of both Houses.
Please bear in mind that this requires action on the
part of all ten towns and it is important, therefore, if
this bill is to be acted upon at this session that these
forms be returned duly executed at the earliest possible
moment.

Dear ~nator Barrett,
Your communication of February 10, 1964 relative
to four year terms for Town Officers was presented
to the Board of Supervisors and studied by George
Percy, County Attorney.
The Board appreciates your pointing out the various
ways that this matter may be expedited but the
consensus is that the cleanest and most effective
means of accomplishing their purpose is through sup-
port of your bill (Senate Int. 1090, Prt.
They have asked that I write to you urging you to
exert all possible effort in securing passage of this
bill.
Sincerely yours,
Joseph L. Blydenburgh
Clerk
