Safety Council
Finds 40 Corners
Hidden by Growth
Submits Findings
To Village Board;
Also Suggestions
Capt. J. M. Hagan, chairman of
the Freeport Safety Council, has
submitted to the Village Board a
list of 40 corners where it is con-tended,
tall hedges and other
shrubbery obscure the view of
motorists creating traffic hazards
Pour members of the commission
Capt. Hagan, Charles P. Shinn, jr.
Samuel Israel and Gustav J. Ber-
~ kcl. toured the entire village Sat-urday
listing the places where they
considered the tall growth renders
traffic unsafe. They met Monday
night in the office of Village Clerk
George P. Hasbrouck and prepared
their report for submission to the
Board.
Several other recommendations
were made. These were that a
white line be painted on the pave-ment
of Randall ave., east of North
Long Beach ave., to guide motorists
making the- difficult turn at that
point; that no parking signs be
placed on both sides of the lower
end of South Grove st., from Me-morial
to Labor Days; that lumin-ous
arrows be placed at the curves
at the extreme southern end of
JSouth Grove st., and that a full
stop sign be placed at the entrance
.of East ave,,:into-Sputh Grove st.,
arid al-whi£en»nre>fee^athteiJ on the
pavement^ta- safeguard traffic at
the tork In the road.
The council was advised that the
Greater New York Safety Council
after conducting a campaign since
the first of January, had placed
Freeport,in Class 2 of the surbur-ban
area. "In the group reporting
municipal miles," the report con-tinued,
"Freeport has been placed
first with three reportable accidents
and an average of 34,184 miles per
accident."
