Village Owosei
Foreman Project
On Newlgn Blvd.
Appeals Board Gives
Him Opportunity To
Hardship
Vlllage Counsel Samuel M. Levy,
on instructions from the Village
Board, opposed the granting of a
variance to C. Milton Foreman,
to enable him to/construct a one-story
block of /stores. on a gore
of property facing 131 feet on
Newton boulevard and ranging in
width Jrom 4 feet 7 Inches on
South Main to 14 Jeet 6 slnohes
In the rear, at a hearing by the
Zoning Board of Appeals last
Thursday night.
Mr. Levy's opposition was based
on the contention that zoning re-strictions
require a five-foot set-back
from the sidewalk line In the
area ,and that this would be Impos-
, .sjble.,qn_ Newton^ ..boulcyatoL.,.How-ever,
Mr. Levy's motion to dismiss
the application, was denied by
Charles P; McKenna, who presided
after Alfred TV Dnvlaon, the chair-man
had withdrawn as an inter-ested
party, to permit George V.
Fleckenstein, counsel for Mr. Fore-man,
to introduce further evidence
at the February meeting of Che
Board as to the hardship a de-
'nial of the application would In-flict
on the owner of tihe prop-erty.
Hempstead System Cited
Mr. JTleckenateln argued that
(he front of Bhe property was on
TSRuth |Mhi# street, and th? aide
on (Newton 'boulevard, and that
therefore the zoning regulations
did not apply. He pointed to the
Barason property on the south side
of Newtown boulevard, which is
built up to the building line from
Main to Henry streets, and said
that if this condition existed, the
restrictions would be Qie same for
- _?. sides of the street.
In reply, Mr. Levy \ald that
more than 50 percent of the space
on the south side of the street
had been built on before the zon-ing
regulations were adopted. He
added that Ohe Board was not in-terested
In Hempstead regulations
and therefore Mr.. Fleckensteln's
reference to conditions there was
irrelevent.

Avldan, .real estate agent for Mr.
Foreman, (placed on the stand as
a witness but Mr. Levy oQered so
many objections to his testimony,
all of w^ioh,.were sustained by .Mr.
McKenna, that he did not get
very far. Counsel for Mr. Fore-man
cited a decision in which it
was held that zoning was meant
mainly for safety, welfare and pub-lic
health, and Chat the granting
of die requested variance would
not Involve any of these factors.
Mr. Levy, replied, however, that
since the decision quoted was ren-dered
the laws had been changed.
Levy Asks Denial
He said he could not understand
why Mr. Foreman had left the
gore vacant when he erected the
buildings on the adjoining prop-erty;
and that he had failed to
make out a case of hardship, in
which mere financial consideration
would not be a factor. If the
property had been seperately
owned In 1924, when the first zqn-ing
restrictions were adopted, the
case would have been different, he
added. Therefore he moved that
the application be denied.
Mr. McKenna, however, said he
thought MrV'"Fb'r6mR"n""Showlu' 'be
given an opportunity to show a
refusal of the variance would work
undue hardship and adjourned the
hearing until Thursday, Feb. 19.
Applications for the variance
was made several months ago
w&en plans for the building were
filed with Die Building Depart-ment,
and a permit denied.

"ft long , ago became apparent
that the Axis by the use of force
was bent on conquest. Many Am-ericans
did not believe this and
favored a policy of appeasement
until the treacherous attack was
made on Pearl Harbor. We did
not want war. We did all we did
to escape war. But now that war
has been thrust upon us, there are
only two choices—sSubmit or re-sist.
Appeasement seems another
possibility but It is ruled out. Re-sort
to appeasement would lead
only two choices—Submit or re-i

resist. And the more decided and
effective our resistance is the soon-er

"Few people like to die but Am-ericans
are dying Tight now. They
are dying for the defense of the
