the Bureau has been notified previously, GABRIBE MANHARINO' S

cottage on

old Leechburg Road,

In Allegheny Townshly, Westmoreland

County,

Fa., Is a one-story, frame bullding, which sits back

about

300 feet fron the road on a 10 here tract which slopes

fron front to rear. It has a amall lake in front of it, and

it le surrounded by mooded area.

It has 3 bedroons, a

kitche, a llving-dining room, and a screened porch.

To the

right rearland about 20 feet fron the house is a wire pen, which

holds three German Shepard dogs.

never has visitors at his home,

any connections with racket activitles, pollties, or law

SAMUEL MANNARINO occasionally has viaitors of

the above types, bus the visite are so intrequent ond unpredictable,

that 1s does not seem feasible to consider establsoning a nigaly

confidential source.

With regard to the MANNARINO offices at 1263 Thire Avenue,

New Kensington, Fa., It is noted that this 1e a one story,

red brick bullding.

It is located completely Inside a ten foot

metal fence which surrounde the serap metal yard, and 1t sets

building is brightly Illuminated by a group of spotlights.

Recently, it has been determined that this office 1s protected

by the Silent Service Systen, an electronle burglar alarm system

which is monitored directly by the New Kensington PD.

Ic would seem

that the most likely spot to attenpt to establish

a nigely confidential source would be at the NANNARINO cottage,

but efforts will have

to be made to resolve some of the

problems, such as monitoring (the cottage is about

35 miles

of all possible visitors, and possibility that there is a

burglar alarm installed)
