   — In a proceeding pursuant to section 712 of the General Municipal Law to determine whether the proposed annexation by petitioner of certain land in the Town of Ramapo is in the over-all public interest, wherein this court, by order dated October 6, 1976, as amended by order dated November 4, 1977, designated Justices Ruskin, Sirignano and Rubenfeld as Referees to hear and report their findings of fact and conclusions of law, respondent moves to confirm the report of the Referees that the proposed annexation would not be in the over-all public interest. Motion granted, without costs or disbursements, and it is determined that the proposed annexation is not in the overall public interest.
