Fears Lose of Grant
Unless One Is Chosen
At Special Election
A tola! of 1,091 persons .regis-tered
on Tuesday (p vote In the
special school election on Frl*
day, June 25. This number In-cludes
those whose names were
carried over from the annual
meeting on May 4.
Without expressing a prefer-ence
for either, the members of
the North East Civic Association
at their June meeting in the
/ "sir Vs'^*F ' «'l , .' " *y '.,"
Columbus ave., Friday night,
voted to urge all qualified voters
to cast a ballot in favor of one
of the two proposed sites for a
new building for the Seaman ave-nue
school a* the special elec-tion
to be held in the foyer of
the Freeport High School on
Friday, June 25.
In as much as the school dis-trict
is outside the northeastern
area of the village, members ex*
pressed the opinion it would not
be fair for them to take sides on
the matter of sites. However,
they asserted that as the cost of
construction will be paid for by
the taxpayers of the exHare
district, they thought a
should be acquired in time to en-able
the Board of Education to
obtain a grant of approximately
50 per cent of the cost of the
building as a post-war project.
Should both s'trs be rejected,
they expressed fear such a grant
might be lost.
Frederick B^ Blumcr, for pres-ident,
headed the date submitted
by William E. Crevoiserat, chair-man
of the nominating commit-tee,
for consideration at the an-nual
meeting in July. The other
nominees are Frank Schmidt,
vice-president; Kenneth Priest,
Home Rule to Keep
Hands Off Primaries
The Home Rule Party, suc-cessful
in the last village cam-paign,
has, through the Execu-tive
Committee, definitely decid-ed
to take no part in the prim-ary
election for district commit-tecmen,
on Tuesday. Aug. 10.
This decision does not mean
that individuals, as such, defin-itely
aligned with the Home
Rule Party cannot enter the pri-maries,
but it docs mean they
cannot do so cla ming the back-ing
of the party as an organiza-tion.
It is understood there will be
contests in a number of districts
particularly in the @th, 10th, l/*th,
86th, @9th, 103d and lA6th.
This decision not to enter can-didates
follows the intentions of
one of the planks in ,the Party
ment in local village affairs, and
for the first time in years no lo-cal
village employes will be in
the running for committecships.
