To Quolify For

To qualify for participation in
the benefits of federal and state
aid in post-war projects, the
Village Board at its meeting Fri-day
night adopted a resolution
. listing projects estimated to cost
$863,000, which will be sent to
the ^*ost-War Public Projects
.Planning authorities of the state
in Albany.
The action was taken in re-sponse
to a communication re-ceived
from H. A. Stracker, Jr.,
advised the board that until It
moved, Freeport could not share
in the beneAts of a 50 per cent
contribution toward the cost of
the work. Mayor Clinton M.
Flint said that adoption of the
resolution did not bind the board
to carry out all the projects but
would qualify them to do so if
they were approved by the state
authorities.
The list Includes paving, sewers
and\ other work. It follows:
Concrete street pavement with
appurtenances and drainage

that it would cost $5,860 to
repair the incinerator chimney,
le.d Mayor Qllnton M. Flint to re-mark.

Village Engineer Herbert M.
Wood explained that bulges in the
lining of the" cHHnnpy/ had -caused
the outer brick to crack- to-sueh
sn extent"tKat there' was danger
of the bricks falling out unless
the matter was promptly attended
to. The communication from the
Kellogg Co., contained the Infor-mation
that little could be done
to repair the lining and that an
almost- new lining would be re-quired.
Mr. Wood explained that the
company had been requested to
make a survey of the chimney
because It buyt it. In response
to a question asked by the Mayor,
he said other firms could do the
work. He was instructed' to pre-pare
specifications and to ask
these concenis to submit bids on
the project.
