Iht JUUKNAI-NCW3, MUlMJAT, JUNE I VfcS I tJ Bond issue for repairs? Panel to inspect schools this fall CLARKSTOWN By LEN MANIACE Staff Writer Leaky roofs, cracks in walls, windows that don't work, and aging school buildings could piean higher taxes in the Clarkstown school district in coming years. How much higher won't be known until the Jail, when a special citizens' committee produces a list of needed building repairs. The re-port is likely to result in a bond resolution to Ihe placed before the voters in next spring's 'elections. Although school officials say the problems are not now serious, they say the district must take actions soon to prevent further deterioration. Accordingly, the district is seeking volunteers to inspect school facilities this summer, and prepare an inventory of needed repairs by the fall.

"After you get 15 to 20 years on the buildings, they start to require additional financial support," said Matthew McGovern, the district's chief of buildings and grounds. Among the most dramatic problems is an approximately eight-foot long crack one-, inch wide at one point in the wall of Clarks- town North High School. eventually. But we don't have critical needs." La'e last week, school officials could not estimate the size of the bond resolution likely to go before the voters, but School Board Vice President Ruth Bullwinkel said the costs "would not be astronomical." Drawing a comparison, Ms. Bullwinkel predicted a bond, if approved, would not be comparable to the $5.5 million building repair bond now being considered by the neighboring East Ramapo School District.

Last month, Nyack voters approved a bond resolution to spend $1.6 million for the renovation of district facilities. Ms. Bullwinkel said Clarkstown North High School, the district's oldest secondary school building, seemed to have the most significant problems. Leaking roofs plague the south wing of Felix V. Festa Junior High School, and three or four elementary schools, officials said.

In recent years, the district has attempted to repair the roof leaks, but the problem appears to have advanced to the point where patching is not enough, said McGovern. "We might need a new roof or parts of a new roof," said McGovern. Van Wagenen said he hoped the committee would complete its work by the fall. The crack, running along the outside wall near the school auditorium, has existed for some time, but school officials became more concerned when the size of the crack increased this winter. A recent inspection showed the crack did not present a safety hazard and was not a sign of foundation problems, said McGovern.

But along with the crack in the high school wall are old windows which increasingly do not open and close, and which, on occasion, fall out, said McGovern. "They're the original windows, almost 30 years old and they will have to be replaced," said McGovern. In addition to needed repairs at Clarkstown North, several buildings are plagued by leaking roofs, officials said. "For 20 years, we have been in the fortunate circumstance of having new buildings," said District Superintendent Donald Van Wa-genen.

"The hearing was devoid of inquiry as to why these things were needed and what other relief was available," Sengstacken said. Frank could not be reached Friday, but a family member referred questions to his attorney, Donald Tirschwell. The attorney had not been informed of the Sengstacken suit and could not comment. Sengstacken, however, acknowledged that he chose to fight on this particular case for reasons other than his disagreements with the zoning board.

"This case isn't somebody's house so it doesn't affect anybody's private life," Sengstacken said. "It is also," he said, "the most dramatic case of construction in violation of a stop order. It's not some- body that added a cabana to a swimming pool. It's a very substantial thing." A town building inspector has standing to contest a zoning board ruling in an Article 78 proceeding (a section of state law providing court reviews of government official's administrative decisions) under a court decision rendered in another Rockland case, brought in 1968 by former Clarkstown Building Inspector Robert Bowman. For Sengstacken, this legal confrontation with other town officials is a tame one.

After serving in Republican administrations, Sengstacken was suspended from his civil service post by Democratic Supervisor John McAlevey in 1966, and charged with 21 counts of incompetence and deliberate misconduct. He fired Sengstacken the next year after a 54-ses-sion public hearing. Sengstacken took the town to court, winning in the Appellate Division of state Supreme Court and prevailing in the Court of Appeals in 1974, when he returned to work as deputy to William Bowns and then succeeded Bowns in 1978.

The injured man, identified as Armi Akira in his late 20's, was apparently struck by the falling cables which are 2.25 inches in diameter, Gough said. Akira was listed in critical condition at St. Vincent's Hospital and was to undergo surgery for a fractured skull, according to hospital spokeswoman, Rita Conyers. Ironworkers were to begin replacing the cables today and carpenters were to rebuild damaged parts of the pedestrian boardwalk, acccording to Abel Silver, spokesman for the Transportation NEW YORK (AP) Two 600-foot cables on the Brooklyn Bridge snapped, falling onto a pedestrian walkway, seriously injuring one man and halting traffic on the bridge for nearly three hours.

The national landmark bridge, which connects Lower Manhattan to Brooklyn, was closed to Brooklyn-bound traffic at about 6:30 p.m. Sunday and shortly afterwards in both directions. It reopened at about 9:15 p.m. but the walkway remained closed pending repairs. Two stay diagonal cables, installed as wind stabilizers when the bridge was erected in 1883, had been corroded by the droppings of pigeons which roost in the twin towers of the bridge, according to Robert Gough, chief engineer of bridge operations.
