Northeost Requests
t Villoge Boord To
Alter Restrictions
A movement to induce the Vil-lage
Board to relax the strict
parking restrictions on Ocean %ve-nue,
north of Merrick road out-side
the Fost Office was started hy
the Northeast Civic Association at
its monthly meeting in V. F. W.
Hall, North Columbus avenue, last
Friday night.
Following an accident at the
corner in whtch five high school
students were Injured, Police Chief
Elar ordered parking prohibited
entirely for 100 feet on each side
of Ocean avenue, and placed one-hour
parking signs the rest of the
way to Pine street.
William E. Crevolaerat said this
action had forced motorists to
park In front of the library or
to cross to the south side of the
Merrick road at .great inconven-ience.
He added that while park-ing
was limited to one hour on
Ocean avenue four-hour parking
was permitted on North Ocean
avenue, in front uf the Municipal
Building where there was a great-er
demand for parking space.
His motlQn that tne. Village
Board be requested to eliminate
crease the dd^-hour limit t/0 four
hours* and reduce- the four-hours
on North Ocean avenue, to one
hour was'adopted.
The • association , /oted to pur-chase
defense stamps of a par
value of $25 each month and to
convert them into bonds when
necessary funds are available. It
was also voted to request the
Hempstead Town Board to nx a
license fee on pin-ball games simi-lar
to"that proposed for Freeport*
with a view to eliminating the
possibility of school children going
out of town to play these devices
if the village adopted a licensing
ordinance.
A. L. Klrby was elected a mem-ber.
Refreshments were served,
Vice-President Fred Blumer pre-sided
in the absence of Thomas E.
OafTney, president.

Only One Dealh
Caused By Autos
During Las! Year
Elar Reports Few
Serious Accidents;
4 Recommendations
Only one person met death In
a motor accident in Freeport last
year, Police Chief Peter Elar re-vealed
in his annual report to thtj
Village Board. Except for U39
when the year passed without a
fatality^ this" was tha-^best Row-ing
in recent years, and was an
immense improvement over 1940
when four met deaths In street
accidents.
However, there were 861 motur
accidents in the village during the
year, in 696 of which only prop-erty
damage was done. In llu
accidents a total of 165 persona
were injured while 50 pedestrians
were Injured by autos.
Only six persons were killed in
accidents during the year, one In
%SK;'{3%WiaAXJ^^
twd ware asphyxiated, one by
strangulation and ,6ne by a train.
The number of arrests spoke
well for the village, as the totnl
was but 255 as compared to 2tiy
the previous year, while fines im-posed
in the local court totalcj
$2.153 payable to the village and
$377 to the state. This was less
than in 1940 when the compara-tive
figures were $2,469 and $435,
respectively.
Stolen property reported totaled
$11,296.67 of which $3,392.96 was
recovered while for 1940 the total
was $14,846.39 of which $3,960.71
was recovered.
Fire losses amounted to $20,140
against $17,163 the previous year.
There were 115 general alarms, 159
still alarms, 26 false alarms anu
six emergency calls. -
Ohief Elar made four recom-mendations
in this report, as fol~
lows: __
First, thaJLJhe traffic light sya-tern
a'lbng Derrick road be-chang-ed
from progressive to simultane-ous,
w^th a view tp^ln6feasln%"b%
tragic Sow. - . ..- -
Second, that a tra'ITlc light be
installed aL Ocean avenue and the
Sunrise highway because of the
heavy tragic at this point.
Third, that diagonal parking be
discontinued on the north side of
Sunrise highway between Main
and Henry streets, because of the
limited space' between the con-crete
roadway and the curb due
to curve in street.
Fourth, that TTewton boulevard
between Henry .,j)&reet and Sun-rise
highway be limited to eabt-bound
tragic, as the street is too
narrow for two-way tragic to move
freely.
