Will Tour Village
Saturday Seeking
Corner Obstructions
Members of the Preeport- Safety
Commission are to make a tour of
the village Saturday morning to
list street corners where hedges
shrubbery and other growth exceed
the limit of four feet in heighth
as prescribed by village ordinances
This was decided at the monthly
meeting of the commission Monday
night in the Municipal Building
with Capt. J. M. Hagan, the chair-man,
presiding. The commission
will meet again Monday night to
draft a report on the inspection to
be submitted to the Village Board
and the Police Department.
Capt. Hagan submitted a report
to the commission reading:
"Recent investigations have indi-cated
that many street intersec-tions
- within the Village of Free-port
have become exceedingly dan-gerous
in that motorists find it
impossible tp see the oncoming
traffic because of overgrown hedges,
foliage, etc.
"It. is therefore, necessary to re-quest'
all owners ot property located
on a cornerr.to.trtm-:alL hedges,, qtc.,

Freeport, wherein 'It states: 'No
now existing tence, hedge, tree,
shrub or other growth shall be
continued to be maintained on
such part or portion of any corner
lot, plot, parcel of land which lies
within a distance of twenty (20)
feet from the curb~line of each of
the streets, avenues, highways or
roads on which it fronts" or abuts;
at or to a height which shall ex-ceed
four (4) feet.'
"A great influx of tourist traffic
is expected in Preeport during the
forthcoming Summer months—full-est
cooperation Is imperative and
all- residents concerned will Jje ex-pected
to comply with this request
of your Safety Council so that ac-cidents
with the'resultant injuries
to life and property will be kept to
a minimum."
At the suggestion of Gustav J.
Berkel it was decided to write Ed-win
McKeeman, supe1rrntende"hT"of
sanitation, asking him to caution
the crews of the department's
trucks to be more careful regarding
refuse dropped from the trucks. It
was said traiJ^of ^garbage were
.frequently lef^ by trucks.
Also it was suggested the house-wives
be required to separate paper
from garbage instead of dumping
everything into one container. It
was said such regulations are im-posed-
in other- .villages, and collec-tors
are instructed to refuse to
empty containers unless the rule
is followed.
It also was decided to inquire
into the time consumed by traffic
officers in filling out forms at the
end of the day in reporting on
"tickets" issued to violators of the
traffic laws.

Recapture of Courage

Voiding of Labor Bill Veto Seen
By C. Oliver Moore as Evidence that
Spirit of 171 Years Ago Still Lives
Sketching the background out of which the Declaration ol

expressed the hope "that here ' AW~

Hancock and his fellow-signers, and
recapture for ourselves and this
era of time the radiant courage
that lighted a beacon -for
kind."
An audience tha t comfortably
filled the Council Chamber listened
with interest as Mr. Moore
others spoke, and the
man-and
consensus
was that Freeport had set an
example in Fourth of July ob-servances
that might well be fol-lowed
by other communities, and
that the meeting should be made
an annual event.
Following the singing of "The
Star Spangled Banner," the Rev.
R. G. Harris, pastor of the Second
Baptist Church and president of
the Freeport Inter-Faith Clergy
Council, offered the invocation, fol-lowing.

of Independence. Mr. Moore

historical document.
Dissatisfaction With Crown
He pointed out that in 1775, Long
Island was not a part of the United
States of America or of New York
State, but a section of one of the!
13 independent colonies that exist-ed
at that time.
"One deep, common, gnawing'
dissatisfaction, however, was mould-ing
them into a unified purpose,"
he continued. "They had come
here to be free men and the king
had been treating them like slaves.
The grievances had mounted over
a long period; they had become
more and more intolerable."
He told how fighting had broken
out in Massachusetts and else-where
but said that at that time
although hostillBes were under
way, they were simply in protest
against the oppression and in-dignities
of the Crown, with the
hope that a show of force would
persuade the disdainful king to
Stanley M. Black, head of Black
Oldsmoblle, Inc., Sunrise -highway
at Bergen pi., has permitted the
village to establish a parking field
on the vacant property west of
the agency.
Mr. Black has requested that
motorists using the field, park their
cars in the rear of the lot, so as
to leave the rest of the property
available for car owners doing
business with him. There is room
for about 20 cars.

Announcement was made at a

Association Monday night in Junior

Welsch, Nassau County "Sanitary

Practically the entire meeting
was devoted to a discussion of the
defeat of the sewer bond referen-dum
by the taxpayers of the vil-lage.
The cry of "taxation without

speakers. President Tred-well

to participate. The procession will
be featured by floats entered by
local and out of town organiza-tions.
Mr. White is seeking the co-op-eration
of the South Shore Council
of Chambers of Commerce with
an eye to making the pageant a
south Nassau event. With this in
mind, present plans call for a line
of march from Freeport west to
Valley Stream, north to Malverne,
then to Hempstead, east to V/an-tagh
and back to Freeport.
The reason for all this pomp and
ceremony is the Gold Cup race to
tie sponsored by the South Shore
'Yacht Club in Bockaway Inlet off
Lombardo, orchesta leader and
Freeport resident, captured. - the
Gold Cup race at Detroit last Aug-ust,
and being a member of the
South Shore Yacht Club he elected
to make that
sponsor of the
organization the
1947 competition.
Unfortunately, at present there is
no place off the Freeport coast in
whicfi the~ race can— be- run. so
arrangements were made to con-duct
it in Jamaica Bay.
Consequently Freeport is going
all out in recognition of the event,
the 43d annual race. Milton Dan-ziger,
treasurer of the committee,
reports a liberal response to the
appeal for funds

the bond" drives would not have
been a success had he not received
the co-operation of many loyal
workers. He said he still had faith
in the Chamber and predicted that
under the presidency' of Mr. Vie-brock
it would develop into a "real
Chamber of Commerce."
Mayor Cyril C. Jlyan spoke of
the need of a real live organiza-tion.
He said Freeport had every-thing
needed to develop into a
prosperous community and said the
Hiamber was spreading the gospel

recent growth of the Chamber

I see this village of ~~
future." "Freeport's
our.sTTTThi
geographical
location is" such that our possibil-ities
are unlimited." he declared.
He called for the completion f;f
parking fields for the convenience
of people who come' to Frcepbrt to

store in the community.
He referred to the need of carry-ing
through the grade crossing

widening of streets in the business
area. Mr. Viebrock . reooinrnenderf
the rezoning of East Merrick rd.,
and the southerly side of Sunrise

manufacturing, nnd the improve-ment
of the area south of Atlan-tic

opinion a munlcipally-owfied b'oat '
basin would be of benefit to
