last December, when the local Freeman Miller, local branch

to have a bomber named in its
honor, it realized $638,960, suffi-cient
to pay for two bombers

them.
Then came the second War

to entitle the village to have a

question ag"to whether Frecport
owns its own wewer system is
convinced it does, but^he—failed
to convince ^George E. VahNos-trand
and Joseph Pierce-of that
fact in his report submitted to
the Village Board Friday night.
The veteran civic workers con-tend
that Frecport has been pla-ced
in a' "separate" district from
the adjoining area in the Nas-sau
County Sewer System, and
insist it should be designated as
an "independent" district. They
pointed out at the meeting that
several years ago a bill giving
the village this designation was
submitted to the Legislature and
permitted to die in committee.
Mr, Vielbig reported he had
discussed the matter with County
Executive J. Rwssel Spraguc and
consulted the County charter and
insisted there was no way in
which the county could assess
