New Salvation Army Building
To Provide Boys'-Gid;'Clubs
Former I.O.O.F. Temple #o Be Bought;
Cos* $28,500; Plan $5,000 Appeal
Boys' club facilities which have been denied the youth of
the village, since the closing of the structure on North
Grove st,, will be provided when the Salvation Army com-pletes
the remodeling of the former LO.O.F. Temple on
Church St., which is to be purchased shortly. Girls, too, will
be taken care of under plans under consideration.
The cost of the project as out-lined
by Brigadier William G.
Harris at a luncheon meeting of
the Advisory Committee, headed
by Robert 5. Patterson, Friday
in the Elks club-house will be
$28,500, to which residents of
Roosevelt, all served by the local
corps, will be asked to contribute
only $5,000.
Brig Harris, principal of the
Salvation Army Training School
in New York said the present
Salvation Army citadel on South
Grove street was badly in need
of repairs, which it was estimat-ed
would cost $3,000. He added
it had been impossible to reach
an agreement with the owner
concerning the possibility of the
continued use "of the buidmg long
enough to warrant such an ex-
Freeport Savings Bank which
owns thc.^ Church st. property
was willAg to sell it to the Sal-vation
Army for $12,500, that re-modelling
would cost $15,000,
and furnishings $1,000, making a
total cost of $28,500. A down
payment of $2,500 is to be made,
leaving $10,000 to be coverc^ by
an amortizing 3 percent mort-gage,
of which $750 is to be paid
annually for nine years and the
balance at the end of the tenth
year.
Brig. Harris added the local
corps had pledged itself to raise
$1,000, leaving $17,500 to be met.
Of this amount the Board of
Trustees of the Salvation -Army
will contribute $2,500 to cower
the initial payment and $10,000
towardTJlhe" remodeling, all-but
$5,000 of th^contemplatM .

District
Joseph H. Scarce, veteran civic
worker, has won his fight to in-duce
the Village Board to re-quest
County Executive J. Rus-sel
Sprague to have a bill intro-duced
in the Legislature in Janu-ary,
designating the Freeport
sewers as an~independent system
instead of .District, 4A. of the
Nassau County system.
Mr. Pearce brought the mat-ter
up last April shortly after the
new administration came into
power. He contended that the
fact the Board of Supervisors
had adopted a ^resolution placing
the Freeport system In a separate
district was no guarantee th(s
resolution would not l?e
cd aooner or later. He recalled
that several years ago, Mr.
Sprague had a bill making the
Freeport system independent in-tioduccd
at Albany. However,
the measure was not pressed for
passage and died in committee.
A letter written by Mr. Pearce
was read at the meeting Friday
night. It follows: <.
"As you arc aware of the fact
the only way the incorporated'
Village of Freeport can have
home rule of ^ts sewer
is to have Freeport sewers made
an independent sewer system.
"Will the Board-petition Mr,
J/Russel Sprague to introduce a
bill in the Legislature making
F*reepprt an independent sys-tem?''""
" %
When a motion iko act favor-ably
'on his recommendation was
passed, Mr. Pearce asked If the
would follow up its action.
"W* always follow things up,"
Mayor Flint replied.
said that conditions
being subnormal, things were no
worse in Nassau County than
elsewhere. He pointed out that
many mothers were working, and
that frequently with both par-ents
working; the st*dden pros-perity
-led to parties that were
not cgndusixc to the -welfare o!
the children. , Ju^ge Collins— ap-pealed
