During his..presentation to the board Thursday evening, Belke-vich stated that he felt that when he bought the land 20 years ago, he could have a spot to put a vacation home. He said that this year he was able to afford the purchase of a trailer and that he had placed the trailer.

It was pointed out by town clerk Freda Woods that the tax rolls did not reflect .that the Belkevichs owned the property. Town attorney Lawson pointed out that there had not been an official filing of the deed on the property until Aug. 6, 1974.

The board had stated at the August meeting that there was not enough land in the plot to allow for the placement of leach-beds and also a water source. Belkevich told the board last Thursday that he planned to carry

A report was heard from town supervisor Melvin Porter, that the work at the town airport site was coming along "very well". It is estimated that the contractor may be more than half done with the second work contract within 10 days. At that rate the second contract could be completed in about 30 days instead of the 66 dap originally contracted.

The board moved to advertise bids for contracts three and four of the airport projects at the Oct. 10 meeting of the board. The bids will be received at 8 p.m.

TJconderoga town police were continuing on Monday an investi-

'" gation into the possible cause of a fire in the Atchinson' Block on Montcalm street, Ttconderoga. The Sunday afternoon fire, which sent five firemen to the hospital, is believed to be of suspicious origin.

According to police, they found a pile of papers in one corner of the basement of the old studio surrounded by cans. In the area the cans appeared to contain inflamable insecticides and char­coal lighter. There was also an innerrube near the place of the cans and paper.

When firemen arrived shortly after 4 p.m., the building was full of smoke. There was smoke pouring from the structure at the west end. The smoke seemed to be coming from the basement area of the abandoned structure.

Firemen continued to work on the west and the south side of the structure as a large crowd gathered.

On the north side of the building firemen began the slow process of finding the exact location of the fire. This involved sending firemen with air packs into the rear of the building on the ends of ropes. The ropes were used so that the men could be found if they were fell in the heavy smoke.

The men, after several tries and nearly an hour later, found the source of the smoke and fire and they put hoses of water to douse the fire.

A total of five firemen were fell by the acrid smoke which was found throughout the structure. The men injured and taken to the hospital by the Ticonderoga Emergency squad were John Hurlburt, with a broken ankle and John Blowers with a puncture wound in the foot; and those suffering from smoke inhalation were Phillip Wissell, Thomas Dolbeck and James Woodard.

The finding of the -exact 'location of the fire in the three-story structure was hamp­ered by the heavy smoke. Firemen had to finally fake chain saws and cut through fire walls and other partitions to check out "hot spots" until they found the source of the smoke and fire. Firemen were on the scene of the blaze for more than two hours.

The Crown Point fire depart­ment was called by mutual aid to wait in the lower hose house while the Ticonderoga depart­ment was busy fighting the fire. The Port Henry department was also alerted. This was done to provide further air packs.

The Atchinson block fire is the second suspicious fire in the village of Ticonderoga in less than two weeks. Police are still continuing their investigation into

the fire which leveled the Catlin Feed store on Sept. 6. In that early morning fire, police have been checking various clues and say the fire is still of suspicious nature.

The fire on Sunday at the Atchinson block had been the site of a fire drill held by the Essex county mutual aid on the evening of Sept. S. hi that case, the Crown Point, Port Henry and Chilson fire departments were called in the drill.

APA sets zone models for park

Richard A. Persico, executive director of the Adirondack Park Agency, Thursday, transmitted to the Adirondack Park Local Gov­ernment Review Board a staff draft of Model zoning and project review ordinance provisions.

The agency, in releasing the proposals, did not state why the model presentations were de­layed by more than six months. Officials of the agency had told officials of both the town and village of Ticonderoga that the plan would be ready by the end of 1973 or early 1974.

Preparation of model provis­ions by the agency are called for by the Adirondack Park Agency Act. The purpose of the model provisions is to assist Adirondack towns and villages and thier planning consultants in preparing zoning ordinances, subdivision regulations, and other controls that will satisfy the act's criteria for agency approval of local land use programs. Model subdivision regulation provisions and a model sanitary code were hot in the transmittal, but are currently

The Sunday fire caused the members of the Ttconderoga Elks Club to remove various records and other paper Hems from their club rooms which are adjacent to the Atchinson block. There was some smoke in the Elks rooms before the fire was put out.

The Atchinson block has been a contention for the village for some time. There have not been taxes paid on the building since 1972. The present situation is one where the present owner is waiting for the village or the county to take over the property.

During the last three years the structure has remained open in various parts. According to town police, they have chased youths out of the structure. They have found half burned cigarettes in the past.

Chief James Burroughs stated on Monday, his "men had fought a hard bettle during the Sunday fire. The fire took the toll of the men, but they fought back".

On Monday afternoon firemen were called to the Ttconderoga Central high school. According to chief Burroughs, the alarm was apparently caused in the warning system which is connected with the school and the Moses Ludington hospital emergency center.

A possible cause of the Monday alarm may have been a slight fluctuation in the voltage flow. A similar situation developed with the school system during a thunder shower on Thursday of last week.

Moriah teachers reach agreement with district

The members of the Moriah Teachers' Association were scheduled to vote on a new contract at a session scheduled for Sept. 17. The voting will be done by the association member­ship at an evening meeting.

The association will be voting on a starting salary of S8.350. This is an increase above the $8,200 per year that the board of education had originally proposed and h was below the more than $8,400 proposed by the associ­ation. The starting salary had been $7,750.

The association has also nego­tiated a contract which will include many of the 14 points which were made by a state of New York fact finder. The 14 points covered such areas as curriculum study, marking per­iod, chaperoning, department heads, school day, school year, professional development, ma­ternity leave, retirement pay, extracurricular salary, guaran­teed income protection plan and the salary schedule.

The settlement came on Friday morning at 4 a.m., after the board of education and the association negotiating team started a ses­sion on Thursday at 7 p.m. The session was a part of the week of negotiation under the supervision of the Public Employees Relations Board. A session was held on Monday of last week from 4 p.m. to 3:45 p.m., on Tuesday.

During the period of time the association had set up pkketerS on the road leading to the Moriah Central school building. On Monday evening the association authorized the picketers to go on to school grounds in violation of state law. The school adminis­tration had to call state and town of Moriah police to remove the picketers. There were no charges involved in the incident.

The teachers continued to picket on the road in front of the school building until the Friday morning agreement. The teach­ers proposed settlement covered 14 points. OriginaUy'thfe associ­ation had'proposed a total of 21 points for negotiation.' .
