Seek To Widen S. Main Street
Rates High In World Champions hips Bohrer's Celebrate
40th Anniversary
A steady stream of well wishers
visited Reverend and Mrs. Bern­hardt
Bohrer at an Open House at
their home on Conklln Street,
Farmingdale last Sunday, in hon­or
of their fortieth wedding an­niversary.
The Bohrer's have been in
Farmingdale for 25 years during
which time, the Rev. Bohrer has
served as pastor of St. Luke's
Lutheran Church.
Vamps To Explain
The Farmingdale School Board
unanimously voted to seek out the
municipal and governmental agen­cies
having Jurisdiction over South
Main Street, with special emphasis
on the portion running south of the
Railroad crossing. This segment
of Main Street has become in­creasingly
more and more of a
hazard with its many blind spots,
overhanging trees and heavy usage,
especially by large trucks, was in
recent weeks the scene of a school
bus accident.
Board President A. Terry
Weathers, stated that measures
should be taken to widen the street,
especially since a total of 114
school buses traverse the roadway
during the course of a schoolday.
This, it was added, includes morn-buses),
and the 57 buses returning
at the close of the school day. Of
this number, 17 buses use Main
Street to transport children to
East Memorial, 8 to Mill Lane,
12 to the high school and 12 to St.
Killian's, while a total of eight
buses use a smaller stretch from
Motor Avenue to Fulton Street.
Also on the Board agenda on
Monday evening was the status on
the reappeal of a traffic light for
South Main and Staples Streets.
