Finally shortly afternoon Friday,

any harm to visit his sister in

Mayor Cyril c: Ryan revealed at
a meeting of the Southwest' Civic

Hall Monday night that the Vil-lage
Board had been in communi-cation
with the Long Island Rail
Road concerning service rendered
to commuters. Letters, he said,
had been exchanged with Louis J.
Carruthers, general counsel for
the railroad.
"The comparison between what
is provided to Long Island com-
«muters and what might be pro-vided
is made apparent by the
proximity of the sleek air condi-tioned,

coaches and etectric locomotives oh

Freeport Should Hove Branch
During July. 30,128 bovs and girls and young people took
advantage of the facilities offered Ly the "Y" in four villages in
Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Frederick Thompson. executi\e secre-from

having a complete monopoly its
profits are assured, it also was as-serted.
The Mayor said that in a letter
dated July 10, Mr. Carruthers
promised the $16,000,000 in im-provements
promised would be car-ried
out even if the railroad failed
in its efforts to obtain the addi-tional
increases in fares it is seek-ing.
The main business of the meet-ing
was to receive suggestions for
material to be used in fighting the
application of the LJ.R.R-, for ad-dltion'al
increases in fares when
hearings are resumed before Pub-lic
Service Commissioner George
Arkwright on IMmttlay, Sept. 22.
Harry McCarthy asserted, the rail-road
should make immediate im-provements

a 30-year program. 3He urged longer
platforms and ;oaaerted: "They gob
the increase. We want improve-ments."
The association went on record
as favoring two-hour instead of
one-hour parkingf on Sunrise high-way.
President William J. Albert
presided.
On recommendation of Jacob

committee^ the Northwest Civic
