S2.000 worth of damages to the
(heat market, complaints of
unduly high amounts.of vandal­ism
from the A & P's manajger.
and garbage thrown in the
streets.
Mayor William H. White dis­agreed
somewhat with Halvor­sen.
While agreeing that there
was youthfiil'vandalism in the
area, he stated."! take exception
With your statement that nothing
is being done and it's being
neglected." He noted that Ihe
police department responds to
calls-from the location and that
one of the "ringleaders" of the
young - people that congregate
thtre had recently beeti arrested.'
"We know there is a problem."
he'said."We are attempting to
correct it...but it is not the only
place we have this problem with
youth in the community. Both
White and Trustee Dorothy Storm
explained that the police can only
arrest those who violate laws and *"
that the laws must be constitu­tional.
While pointed out that the
village's recently passed "open

(Freeport Police Com- -
niissioner David Mcehan told.
THE LEADER that police activity
in the area would be increased.)
Another resident from anntiier
area. Johnson Place, told the
Board of Trustees that his street
had been a "hangout ftir two
years now...Can anyone think of
any soliifion?" he asked the
board, describing the group of 10-
30 youngsters who frequent his
area, blocking the street and
throwing bottles around.
White counted trff'six trouble
spots in the village (JohnsJJn.
Bayview. Smith Street. Guy
Lombardo Avenue. Whaley and
R(x)sevclt. Avenue, and Bedell
Street) and seemed to agree. "I
can't really understand.'.' he said,
