For Bennington Park
More than 11,000 Freeport resi-dents
are qualified to vote at fcho
referendum concerning slum clear-ing
and the appointment of a hous-ing
authority on Tuesday. Names of
approximately 250 voters -were added
to bhe rolls on Saturday which was
registration day. These Included
about 150 in the Bennington Park
district.
All persons who registered for
the goneral election last, November,
the Spring village election in
March and on Saturday are eligible
to vote in as much as the proposi-tion
up for consideration does not
immedda'tely concern expenditures.
The proposition reads as follows:
'^Shall the village of Freeport
take advan'tage -of the available
Federal, and /or State funds Jo elim-inate
slums and for that purpose
establish an authority to erect hous-ing
for eligible familes in the Vil-lage
of Freeport?"
The polls will be open from noon
until 9 o'clock at night.
Mayor Robert L. Doxsee and all
the members of the Village Board
have announced that they are in
(favor of slum clea-nance .and the
•appointment of a Housing Author-ity
and. will .yoj?e affirmatively tor
the referendum. ^ *^ ... _;.;;.-

THE TRUTH ABOUT PUBLIC HOUSING
By PAUL KELLY
Council to the Freeport Housing, Committee and former Deputy

1. Q. Why is a housing project necessary if local ordinances now in
force can compel owners to eliminate substandard dwellings?

the full cooperation of the poMce and the Village Board is that the
owners will-demolish the buildings Cither'than renovate them, since it

of the ordinance has been( the'removah-of-familles-by^demolltion
p.nd aggravating the already crowded conditions.
