Northeost Civics
Refers Suggestion
To Governors' Board
A proposal to request the Vil-
^' lage Board to amend its building
code to permit the conversion of
one-family houses into two-family
;[ dwellings and to erect two-family
j houses in Resident B zones was
referred to the Board of Oovern-ors
at the monthly meeting of the
./(Northeast Civic Association Friday
night in the V.F.W., club house.
The suggestion was advanced as
%' move "to provide additional
homes and to benefit property
who have trouble in meet-taxes
and interest. At present
the code provides that no two-family
house shall be permitted
<m a plot less than 8,000 square
feet in area. It was proposed to
reduce this to 4,000 but to retain
all other requirements as to light
'and air for such a building.

Hed' "trfe ridhor roll, presented • it

Commander Davis" told of the de-cision
of the Post to erect a per-manent
tribute to its men and
women who enter the service. He
said 1L was truly representative of
the armed forces which must be
supported . by the people at home.
"These are the names of your
people, friends, sons, a daughter
who deserve your support," he
said. Mr. Davis called for the sac-rifice
of everything needed to fight
the war to a conclusion, and cau-tidned
against any. loose talk that
might be of assistance to the
enemy. He asked all hearing any-thing
of a subversive thing said
to report to the Legion imme-diately,
promising the Information
would receive .confidential atten-tion.
Mayor Accepts Honor Roll

gift said it was only httl& and
proper that the "American Legion,
our own post, a red blooded, Ameri-can
organization, should present
this honor roll to the Village of
Freeport/' He said he fervently
prayed for the early dawn of peace
and the return of the Freeporters
in the service to their homes.

Mr. Voss said that the William

those in ofher countries. He

those who in 1917-18 fought a war
to end all wars, in honor of "those
of 1942 who are doing the same.,
thing/' ' .

' what he was after.
When Mr. Kammeyer, wiho is an

vln, chairman of the budget com-mittee,
said no definite amount
could be fixed and consequently
