A resolution, adopted by the
Board of Directors of the Freeport
Chamber 6f^6mTne?ce"calling at-tention
to the hazards of night
driving due to the dimout in the
southern section of the village was
referred to the Village Council.
Samuel M. Levy and Trustee Her-man
C. Dunkcr, as deputy head
of civil defense, by the Village
Board at its meeting Monday eve-ning
with a communication relat-ing
tn the matter received from
the Northeast Civic Association.
The resolution of the Chamber
reads as follows:"
"We the Freeport Chamber of
Commerce, desire to call to the
attention of the Board of Trus-tees
of the Village of Freeport,
the condition that exists of park-ed
cars south of Sunrise highway,
having no lights of any kind
thereon.
"Owing to the order of the Ci-vilian
Defense Council, no cars
traveling north or south of Sun-rise
highway can drive with other
than parking lights on. This
makes it almost impossible to see
a parked car until the--driver is
almost upon it; Our concern Is
with those who are serving In some
jzanaoiiy. during the "gu^tlon ^f
this war, and we are fearful that
on some occasion a severe acci-dent
will occur.
"We fully appreciate the posi-tion
of the Village Board in rela-tion
to matters of this kind and
know that they are endeavoring
to do something about this situa-tion.
We again urge that some
action be taken at once, clearing
up this existing danger."
The Northeast Civic Association,
in its communication signed by
Secretary Anthony Mirabella, urg-ed
that "something be done, either
the owners of these cars keep their,
parking .lights on so as to give
motorists a chance to see them, or
else they'be not permitted to park
on the streets all night."
