against a type of low pric^jbous'es
being erected in the area. Capt.
Carl G. Forsberg catted the build-ings
inferior, cheTap homes. He
added that although he had been
advised the structures met with all
.the .requirements of the building

understood that while they were set
back only 25 feet from the property
line the distance should be 50 feet.
Mayor Robert L. Doxsee promised
to view the development and take
immediate action if it were possible
to do so.
Fred Cook, brought up tin1 nutt-jer
of the erection of pre-fabi-irated
metal business slniclures on Wood-c

Even though his name has become legendary in music circles, to
the effect that a critic once remarked that Lombardo could fill theatres,
night clubs, and dance halls, and sell millions of records each year even
if he were to use an orchestra
consisting of two kazoos and two
pianos, modest Guy gives full
credit to his orchestra, pointing
out that a band Is only as popular
as its last record and its last
arrangement. It is because of this
spirit that it is among musicdom's
most notable achievements that
pf the • nine men who comprised
the Lombardo orchestra during Its
first important American engage-ment,
eight are still p'ayfng in
today's Royal Canadians.

Although born in London. On-tario,
Canada, Guy Lonvbardo has
made Freeport his 'home. His
South Grove Street, waterfront
residence has become a slunvplace
which is pointed to with pride to
visitors by not only Freeporters,
but. also by all residents of Long
Island. Guy Lombardo is Free
purl's leading' national celebrity.
In addition to hls.bandleading and
championship speedboat activi
.ties; hit* position as a major stock-hold
M; in an airline, and owner of
com panics, he now adds another star to his
LO.MHARDO'S KA'ST "POINT JIW'SK.
. * r*e gula*r "gu*y."
Lombardo's band was organized in his home town in Ontario
Canada, while he was still inr grammar school. The band consisted of
' Guy as violinist, Carmen Lombaro as flutist, Lebert Lombardo as drum 1 mer, and Fred Kreitzer as pianist, all of who/n are stiff in the orchestra
Lebert eventually abandoned the drums turning to trumpet, while Guy,
himself, stopped playing the violin several years ago and now conducts
the orchestra with a baton. His philosophy of giving the public what
it wants is responsible for his position in the field of popular music.
Year after year, Guy Lombrdo and his Royal Canadians, have been
declared the Number One band in the country. It was during his first
big American engagement at the swanky Music Box in Clevejand, that
he met and fell in love with Lllllebell Glenn, who became Mrs. Guy
Lombardo. His association with the Hotel Roosevelt since his 1929..
New York debut has become a show business legend.

"The item of still alarms, which
number 117 for the year, arises

lots. The Department would
like .to have the co-operation of the
citizens of Freeport in refraining
from this practice."
Tliwe were 116 grass fires, -13 in
