Commission May Let
Contracts Tonight for
Sewer System
Trunk Line Bids Well
Within Bond Issue;
Pumping Stations Close
Members of the Freeport Sewer
Commission expressed confidence
that it would be possible to award
contracts perhaps tonight for the
construction ol1 a SI-WPI- system for
the southern part of the village.
following the receipt of bids at a
meeting Monday ni^ht.
Bids for the' laying of trunk
sewers and materials were well
within the $491,281 estimated in
the bond issue for that purpose,
while the lowest offer for the con-struction
of pumping stations was
$50 in excess of the $125,000 bond,
allowance. However, the commis-sioners
were hopeful H would be
possible to award a contract
despite the*other items that enter
into the total cost of the project.
Of the $191,218.45 bond issue to
finance the laying of sewers, up-proved
at the village election last
March, $1U7,996 will be lr village
charge, while the remaining $323,-
221 will be levied against the abut-t
i ng property owners, the same as
for lateral sewers.
Four contractors submitted bids,
two for only part of the work, and
two others for the complete job,
making it equivalent to three com-plete
bids.
Prices Submitted in Bids
Bids were received on two alter-nate
plans for the trunk lines, one
providing for brick and the other
for block manholes. C.. Salvatpre
& Son of Orange, N.J., was low* in
both these bids with $443,252.50
and $440.917.50. This company did
not bid on the pumping station
contract. However, the T. & T.
Contracting Co., of Brooklyn, was
low on the pumping station-project
with $125,000, though it was higher
than the Salvalore concern on the
-tniwfc—sewwiK.
The trunk line bids of the Salva-
Co., were $48,328.50 and $50.-
3(13.50 respectively beiow the fig-ures
allowed In the bond issue, giv-ing
considerable range for en-
Kineering and othejt- cos_ts^ within
the limits allowed. ' ^.

'Plan 3' Results in Tie
Midtown Modifications
Explained by Spohsors,
Who Ask Speedy Action
After members of a committee
representing the Freeport Chamber
ol Comim-ive ami the local civic
associations had submitted pro-posed
plan "No. :i," I'or the elimina-tion
of grade crossings in this
community at u meeting of the
Northwest Civic Association, Mon-day
night, a motion to approve
the project resulted in a tie vote
of 11 to 11. Consequently it was
decided to table Ihe matter, until
a later meeting at which the of-ficers
hope there will be a larger
representation of the members
present.
The plans, which an- a modifica-t
i o n of the Midtown and Cohen
Plans were, explained by VanBaar
Brown, a member of the associa-tion,
Walter J. Miranda, Cord Vie-brock
and William J. Martin, presi-dent
of the Chamber. They also
explained that the Public Service
Commission, .will carry out the
Cohen plan as adopted back in
IJKIS unless some other plan on
which all interests can agree is
submitted within tbe next fin or
90 days.

Loses to Baldwin, 6 - 0 Count
There are two kinds of touchdown's, thost
those that don't. The Red Devils milizo t h i s
of their sad experience in their -">th annua
Stadium gridiron when they lost to
the Baldwin Golden Waves by a
count of 6 to 0, though they out-played
the visitors In'three of the
four quarters, and had numerous
opportunities to score, all of which
went glimmering,. penalties beinK
the principal cause.
Baldwin had. only one sustained
drive, but it resulted in a touch-down
and victory. Freeport' also

after the visitors scored but a pen-alty

again. On another occasion they

that probably cost them an-

lead in the.Inter-school competition
by a count, of 13 'games to>2 after

unbroken record.
Freeport won the toss and Capt.
Joe Labella elected to receive.

KriTmmel took the ball on^the 20-
yard line. The"plague of penalties
began to afflict the Red Devils at
the very outset, and they lost 5
recreational facilities for th*> boys
and girls of the community.
- Mr. Vought recently submitted to
the i-lub the summary ,0!' a survey
conducted by the committee, which
includes also A. F. Basset and
John F. Woods. They found these
facilities to include Randall Park,
the Raynor st Field, gymnasiums in
the high school, Columbus ave.,
Cleveland ave., and Archer st.,
schools, i he Holy Redeemer Pa-rochial
school and ,a large rec-reational
hall in Fire Headquarters
on N'orth'Main st., the last of which
is at present unavailable for use
other than.b.v members of the Fire
j Department.
.Mr. HasHott advised ilie club
members that Randall Park i,s in-s
u f f i c i e n t l y developed /'or use ol
older hoys pxrept during daylight
saving time in th.e summer, because
of the absence of lights elsewhere
than in the extreme southern end,
of the area. With proper lighting
f a c i l i t i e s , Jip added. Softball and
oilier sports might be engaged in
for a longer season, in fact through-out
the year.
The Raynor sf. Held, lie found,
is completely underdeveloped,
though (t is located, in a section for
which facilities arc needed. Hi-pointed
out that tennis courts .con-structed
some years ago have fall-en
into disrepair, and that the only
groups using the space are the
high school band and some girls'
teams. Me suggested that It be
made adaptable I'or use by the Jay
Vee football and other teams, as
well as the general public.
School gynasiums it was found
were being used by organized
groups, barring their occupancy by
young people most ol the lime.
.Mr. Vought referred to the time
wheir lie was'a boy and there were
large areas where Ihe .boys could
play baseball and football, and the
waterways had no'l become polluted
necessitating prohibiting of swim-ming
pust off shore.
-Young People Overlooked
"Growth of the community," lie
said, "has eliminated the natural
play I'acUiUt'K of th'ti-youth of today.
Practically all the open spaces
have been built on, and -pollution
has put an end to swimming in our
canals and- bays. So we should
take steps to provide in otherways
