Middle of Junei
Officials of the Columbian
Bronze Corp., are awaiting the
delivery of a small test unit by
the Wcstinghouse Co., as the
first step of the efforts of the
company to control the smoke
from the plant which has caused
residents of the community to
^complain to various ofncial agen-cies.
George A. Seavcr, the execu-tive
vice-president, advised the
Village Board in a letter dated
June 15, (bar definite delivery had
been promised two days later.
He added that it would take a
week to so to install the unit
after it arrived.
However, inquiry revealed that
the Westinghousc Co. had failed
to make good, and Mr. Seaver
said he could not say when the
apparatus would.be, received.
In his letter to the board, he
added:
Would Use Crosses
On Traffic Lights
Village Clerk William J. Mar-vin
was instructed by the Village
Board at its meeting 'Friday night
-to request permission from the
Nassau County Office of Civilian
Protection to substitute crosses
for arcs in the dimmed out tramc
lights.
Members of the .Board re-ported
that the light at Grand
and Columbus avcs., where a
change was made as an experi-ment
had evoked favorable com-ment.
It was said also that Floral
Park had adopted the plan of
having a cross in the center of
the traffic lenses in that village.
FHn# Defend* Pay
For Sewer Board
A letter from Capt. Clifton M.
Shirley inquiring why the salar-ies
of the members of the Sewer
Commission were not discon-tinued
with those of other groups
was read at the meeting of the
Village Board Friday night.
'Mayor Clinton M. Flint in re-ply
said that the Sewer Commis-sioners
performed a very im-will
have no appreciable effect
on the smoke at the plant be-cause
it is going to be put on
one small furnace stack only. We
doubt very much whether this
high voltage equipment will be
available for a complete installa-tion
for the duration, judging by
the length of time it has taken
to get allotments for these crit-ical
materials for the first unit.
This piece of equipment will be
about I/100th of the complete
equipment, but if the unit works
as satisfactorily as Westinghouse
engineers believe it will, we will
make every effort to ascertain
the possible deliveries of the
complete equipment.
"We regret the inconvenience
which this smoke is causing the
neighborhood, and wish to assure
the residents of the Village as
well as_ypur. own Office jhqt ihip
matter is not at rest, but that we
are making every possible effort
to dispose of this condition at
once."

added their responsibilities were
heavy, while the work of the
Zoning and Planning Commis-sions
was more or less "orna-mental"
and entailed no great
responsibilities.

Commander William W. Davis
following a meeting of the com*
mittee in charge in the dugout
Monday night issued an appeal
for Frecport residents to donate
all records they no longer desire
to the cause. He sa'd that for
the present they might be left
at the dugout, but that later re-cepticlea
would be placed at ad-vantage
points throughout the
village in which the^may be de-posited.
An active committee is

Freeport has been alloted 100,.
000 gallons of fuel oil for the
Municipal Power Plant during
July. It will receive this quanti-ty
monthly until a final order is
issued concerning the continued

This information was revealed
at a special meeting of the Vil-lage

Salvage Sale; Net
$500 for O,CP. Hor*
Willis M. Summers, chairman
of the Freqport Salvage Com-mittee,
turned over a check in
the amount of"$300 to the Ad-visory
CommUlcc of..the .OfSce
"of Civilian Protection at a meet-ing
in the Municipal

For Power PlAnts
County Executive;, J. Russel
Sprague has sent letters to three
Federal agencies expressing -the
hope that the impending curtail-ment
of th"e Municipal Power
Plants in Frceport and Rockville
Centre may be averted.
He advised officials of the
Petroleum Administration, 'Omce
of Price Administration and Of-
Kce of War Utilities that discon-tinuance
of the municipal plants
of the two Nassau villages would
create an additional tax burden
with decreased vital functions of
government.- " "
"It would eliminate^ much
hardship if other means could be
found of conserving the use .of
oil other than so seriously in*
cellaneous scrap from the
house; $29.40 from the sale of
paper collected by the Depart-ment
of Sanitation and the bal-ance
on account of the sale of
metals collected in the drive of
Sunday, May 23.
Mr. Summers announced that
the Government was appealing
for all communit cs 73 collect
papers to supply the demand for
pulp. He said that during the
week of June 14, 2,150 pounds
was collected here, which amount
was increased to 3,730 the fol-lowing
week.
He pointed out that if residents
of the village would donate their
waste paper to the "O.C.P., it
would be a source of continued
revenue for the group. He ex-plained
that all that was neces-sary
was to tie the paper in
bundles so it could be handled
easily by Sanitation Department
employees on their regular
