^ The ■ti&fl CARPET fxchamge • — *-J *-* By IX )N WILSON PREPARING THE UNDERFLOOR There's nothing difficult about installing tile flooring because it goes down quickly and easily tile by tile. Kven an amature can do it. All you need are tiles, adhesive seam sealer and the following tools: notched trowVll. chalkline. awl and utility knife. Other useful tools are a tape measua*. carpenter's square, yard stick and scissors. After purchasing your materials, it is a good idea to store the tile in a warm room for at least 24 hours before you begin your installation. You should also be sure the room in which the new floor is to be installed is at least 70 degrees in temperature for 24 hours before installation, as well as during installation and for 24 hours afterwards. ' It's very important that the surface to be covered with tile be properly prepared. This surface is called the underfloor. It must be made clean and smooth because a new floor will only look as good as the underfloor. If the underfloor is rough or warped, the tile will not wear well or look good. To prepare concrete underfloors. felt paper should be laid across and cemented down with linoleum paste. Lengths of felt should be rolled with ordinary rolling pins immediately after cementing down. Particle board or chipboard are not suitable materials for use as underfl< Hiring. For preparing a single wood floor, you should use '/» inch masonite underlayment board. This should be nailed every .'I" along the edges and every fi" throughout with underlayment nails available from your dealer. At time of installation, any existing molding should be pryed up at the wall base so that tile can be run underneath for a neat, professional appearance. avalol CARPET.

I Hand Says Strohmetz Will Replace Royer

By SKIP GLADUE STONE HARBOR - Mayor Arden Hand, in his State of the Borough message to the Realty Owners' Association Saturday , announced that former veteran Councilman Harry Strohmetz has been named to fill the unexpired term of Robert Boyer who resigns from Council June 30. Strohmetz, a trustee of the ROA, will resign that post before joining council where he had served for 11 years, declining to run for reelection last fall. He was surprised at the announcement, as were more than 100 members, saying that he had been interviewed for the position but wasn't officially notified of the appointment. Among projects announced by the mayor: • Revision of electrical system in the business district of 96th Street and Third Avenue. • Work on First Avenue sewer drains from 83 to 111th Street to begin this fall. • Need to dredge municipal basin. • Replace street signs removed for souvenirs. • Bulkhead renovation and replacement. • Plans to replace windows at Borough Hall. • Meeting room to be renovated and redecorated.

IN OTHER LONG range plans the mayor announced that the mains will be upgraded to six inches for 5400,000. "Three miles of new lines will he installed," he said. F. William Van Ness, president of ROA, announced that there are 95 new members for a total of 1,352. Since many of the members represent a husband and wife household the organization represents over 2,000 people. In his opening remarks he acknowledged the return of the Marine Police to the back bay. "Anyone responsible for a project in industry that dragged on for 29 months would have been fired by now," said Van Ness, alluding to the progress or lack of progress on the 96th Street bridge. He cited the most recent inconvenience of the bridge being closed mornings on Wednesday and Thursday, and not opening until 3:30 p.m. on Friday. He called for volunteers for the rescue squad and fire companies and asked for the names of candidates to become trustees, able to meet once a month throughout the year. Further, he urged that the street numbers on homes be conspicuous to aid rescue, fire and postal operations. "So we can enjoy Stone Harbor as it has been so many years," he called for limitations on sizes of structures in "C" zone. ^ "We don't want to look out ^ our windows and see wooden walls, have no light Vr and no cross ventilation," I S He added. ' I "STONE HARBOR IS a ) flagship community in how 1 it manages its trash," said main speaker Theodore O'Neill, MUA solid waste manager. He said on a peak summer Monday more than 14 million pounds of trash are transported to the solid waste facility. Some of the items disposed of include a 17-foot whale shark, a roller coster and 40 tons of asbestos j removed from schools, plus ' I 20,000 tons of construction ■ material. O'Neill said one of the | most serious problems to- : day is the proper closure ■ and capping of existing i landfills at a cost of 58-510 \ million in the next three to five years. The cost to do i this statewide would run 1 5300 million. I During the public hearM ing, a member of the auN dience suggested that I visitors be alerted to il "pooper scooper, skate ' boarding and nuisance or1 dinances and, after a wamj ing, violators have the book thrown at them." I Another concern was issued by a person who saw "animal eyes reflecting | back" while walking the f dog near the bird sanctuary. The person suggested the town get rid of cats and save the birds. Councilman Kenneth Hawk remarked that SPCA

humane traps were used to catch the cats. On display in the meeting room was the winning project on beach ecology prepared by third and fourth graders at the elementary school. On Monday, the last day of school for all but the kindergarten, the ROA hosted a Mexican lunch (by popular student request), as it gave out awards for ecology on both the class and individual level. The individual winner's name was not available at press time.
