Opinion

— Order, Supreme Court, New York County, entered June 10, 1975 which directed inter alia temporary alimony in the sum of $200 per week; temporary child support in the sum of $100 per week; payment of any and all arrears due under the order; payment of rent and utility charges for the marital apartment; payment of tuition and related fees for private school on behalf of the parties’ daughter; and payment of counsel fees in the amount of $3,000, unanimously modified, on the law, the facts and in the exercise of discretion, to the extent of reducing the award for temporary alimony to $125 per week; reducing the award for temporary child support to $75 per week; reducing counsel fees to $1,750, and eliminating the award for private school tuition and related expenses as well as the award for summer camp costs and as so modified, the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements. Upon this record we conclude that the awards for temporary alimony, temporary child support and counsel fees were excessive to the extent indicated. Furthermore, under all the circumstances herein, the awards for payment of private school tuition and summer camp costs were inappropriate. Concur — Markewich, J.
