The village's Board of Trustees has voted to notify its employes and the federal government of its intention to quit the system as of July 1978. Similar actions or considerations by California, Alaska and New York City prompted the village to act, said Trustee Nicholas Penna, who offered the resolution The City of Rochester also is considering quitting the Social Security system If Holley withdraws, its employes could take the money they would have contributed to the Social Security system and invest it in private retirement or insurance programs instead, Penna said.

Edwards mail ok assured By MIKE MEYERS The first shops in a new $800,000 mall in the old Edwards Building will lx' open for Christmas shopping, New York State Urban Development Corp.

officials said yesterday. Richard Ravitch, chairman of the corporation's board, said the corporation officially would approve the plans of Syracuse developer Daniel C. Sutton at a meeting next Thursday. Sutton, who built a similar mall project in Syracuse, several months ago, proposed revamping the Edwards Building at East Main and St. Paul streets, and filling it with craft displays, small shops and restaurants.

The mall, as envisioned by Sutton, would try to reproduce in design the appearance of old Rochester, that era when a cluster of flour mills was the keystone of the city's economy. Ravitch who heads a corporation that has a billion dollars in debts, and which is legally restrained from building more housing named the Edwards project as an example of how the corporation still can spur economic development in Rochester. The corporation owns the Edwards building and, with the city, sought a developer to find a new use for the structure. At a press conference yesterday at the Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce, Gilbert Smith, the corporation's western region director, said the stores that open for the Christmas season will be part of a first stage. Other stores are expected to follow as merchants see that the businesses can make a profit at the Edwards building, Smith said.

The mall should be almost completed in about a year, he said. Ravitch said the corporation's board was heartened by a Sutton-developed mall in Syracuse that Ravitch said appeared to be a financial success. On another topic, Ravitch said corporation officials are studying complaints that apartments for the elderly built in Rochester were without emergency generators to provide power and light in case of a fire or power blackout Tw-n to Pago 77?

"It just seemed be a good place to start." The city charges $50 a year for pickup at businesses that throw their garbage into dumpsters large metal containers that have to be emptied by special trucks That rate hasn't changed in at least 10 years, said Frank A. Medera, the city's director of environmental ser vices. Meanwhile, businesses that after fire yesterday forced her and eight other persons to flee shouts The defense rested its case. The argument was over the testimony of defense witness Thomas Taylor, who said Tuesday that he had heard Angelo Monachino accuse Vincent "Jimmy the Hammer" Massaro of stealing a laser beam used in a coastruction project. The defense contends that Massaro was killed because he stole the laser beam.

The prosecution says his death was ordered at an organized crime meeting allegedly attended by Marino. Cornelius had asked Taylor whether he was with Marino and other men, who allegedly are organized crime figures, at Ben's Cafe Society bar in late May. Taylor testified he was alone. It was at that point that the disputed bench conference occurred. Turco said yesterday that Cornelius promised to show his questioning was relevant and added that he had photographs of the meeting at the bar.

Later, according to Turco, Cornelius said he didn't have the photos but wanted Taylor to think he did. "Now, your honor, that was an outright lie," Turco said. And because of that "prosecutorial misconduct," a mistrial should be declared and Cornelius should be admonished, Turco Dist. Atty.

"That's not always possible now." He said that, although many county warning awyers his testimony wouldn't be relevant to the case Cornelius said that he "must respond to the personal attack on myself and my office "I find it astounding to be attacked by a man who has been disbarred," he said.

"The prosecution in this case will go to any extent to persecute this man (Marino) and convict this man," Turco said He wanted to call Cornelius as a witness to ask about the photos. Cornelius, however, said that Turco's version of what was said wasn't accurate and, even if it was, Jobs there, but Welders By MARYANNE GALLAGHER Welders involved in the controversy over a state certification test taken at the Foreman Center are angry and suspicious about being left out of a lucrative job market.

Turco Jr. to declare a mistrial Mark said he'd review the transcripts after the trial to see if disciplinary action should be taken agaiast either Turco or prosecutor Raymond Cornelius.

"There's something fishy going on, that's all I can tell you "I don't think the district attorney did anything underhanded or tried to pull anything but I think that under the circumstances, the judge would grant us the opportunity to fight the motion," Leonardo said.
