in the North Grove Street Munici-pal
Parking Lot behind Village
Hall.
All residents, adults as well as
children, are invited to bring their

for possible dangerous defects.
At the same time, bikers may
register their equipment as re-'
quired by Village law. - A
numbered metal plate will be
affixed to the bike with the
number recorded with the Police
Department. Registration is a
deterrent to theft and also aids in "
the recovery of stolen property.
The one-time cost is 25*.
Officers will also distribute
bicycle safety material and will be
available for questioning as to the
State and Village laws governing
biking.

Residents are reminded the
garbage containers must' be
regulation 20 gallon size for hand-ling
by the Village Sanitation
Department.
Many property owners have
begun to use a 32 gallon con-tainer.
When full, these larger
cans are much too heavy for the
sanitation men to handle without
possible injury to themselves.
The Freeport Board of Trus-tees,
after a public hearing,
passed a Village ordinance which
deals with the drinking of alco-holic
beverages and is similar to
legislation adopted in many other
communities. Henceforth, it is
illegal to carry any open container
of an alcoholic beverage in public
areas of the Village including
streets, sidewalks, parking lots,
etc. The law is not limited to
municipally-owned land, but all
outside areas where people con-gregate
Tsuch as tKe parking lot of
a supermarket. The law also
applies to both the drivers and
passengers of a vehicle whether
or not it is in motion. Violators
will be subject to fines up to 15
days in jail or $250. •
The purpose of the law is to
control the unruly behavior of
youngsters. Groups wishing to
hold block parties, gatherings in
parks, etc. where alcoholic drinks
will be offered, may apply to the
Office of the Village Clerk for a
permit at least two weeks before
the.event.
a o o
Also, a second law passed by
the Board mandates that every
property owner shall maintain
ground covering in front of and
around houses and.other.build-ings.
The intention is not to
unreasonably'order everyone to
have a perfect lawn, but to elimi-nate
drainage and other environ-mental
problems. The new law is
also expected to improve appear-ances
of houses presently without
lawns.

Stabilization Task Force
46 N. Ocean Ave.
Freeport's Stabilization and
Affirmative Housing Task Force
urges all homeowners who have
not already done so, to submit a
cease .and desist order to Secre-tary
of State Mario Cuomo.
These orders prevent mass solici-tation
of homeowners and undue
pressure to sell.
The cease and desist drive
began some years ago when soli-citations
of homeowners in the
Village by a few unscrupulous
real estate brokers led to "block
busting." Discussions between
the Village and State govern-ments
led to the program where-by
residents signing and filing
such orders with the State would
be protected from unwanted solic-itation
by real estate brokers and
salesmen. Those realtors refusing
to obey the order are subject to
punitive action by the Secretary's
office which can lead to suspen-sion
or revokation of the license to
operate in the real estate field.
If you have never signed a
cease and desist order — of if you
have but have since moved with-in
the Village to another house —
clip out and sign the form below
and return it to the Village
Clerk's office (do not mail it
directly to the State).
The forms will then be recorded
by the Village and forwarded to
the Secretary of State. When you
have received an acknowledge-ment
from the State, you-will
know that you are covered by the
non-solicitation order. If yon are
subsequently solicited, save tne
postcard, business card or other
material'received, or if solicited
by phone, make a note of the
time, date and name and broker
affiliation, of the caller,- and- then
notify the Code Enforcement
office.
To save postage, the form
below may be returned with your
electric payment. The Task Force
urges all Freeporters to add their
names to the hundreds of their
neighbors who have already af-forded
themselves of this form of
protecting their property, their
Village and themselves.The sign-ing
of the order will not prevent
anyone from selling his home in
a legitimate manner by merely
contacting any reputable realtor.
The difference is that the contract
is initiated by the homeowner and
not by a real estate dealer.
