Want Freeport to
Get 6a@ TaxShare
A@k Amendment
Bill Allocating
I* All *o CHlea
The Northeast Civic Associa-tion
at its meeting Friday night
in the V.F.W. club bouse on
Columbus avenue, started a
movement to have a bill now in
Albany amended so as to enable
villages having a population of
15,000 or more to share in the
allocation pf the state gasoline
tax.
In its present form, the meas-ure
makes no provision for vil-lages,
providing only for cities;
with the result that while Lohg
Beach and Glen Cove would re-ceive
a share of the tax, Free-port
and other large communi-ties
would get nothing.
The secretary was instructed
• ——-"•*-?".., I pr 1-1 ;.i,.n;.-&p»nwi ••LJji3^-rnn««rjnrmin to wntq, to the Cong island leg-islators
calling., attention . to .this
fact and urging them to see that
. the measure was amended so as
to give larger villages a share
of the proceeds of the tax. A co-py
of the communication also is
to be sent to the Village Board.
Another letter to the Village
Board will oppose granting to
the Zoning" Board of Appeals the
authority to set aside any zon-
%ng restrictions in any part of
the village. This it was explain-ed
was the result of the action
of-the Board in suggesting that
Frank Willets apply to the Ap-peals
Board for a variance for
several lots at thq foot of South
%,ong Beach avc., now In a Res-idence
B district to enable him
to conduct a business such as
that permitted m a Business B
Zone..
. The association also voted to
request the Board to have in-serted
with the electric light bills
a copy of the ordinance which
makes it disorderly conduct to
permit dogs to roam at large.
Vice-President Frank Schmidt
presided in the absence of Pres-ident
Fred B. Blumer. George
Hallam was received as a mem-ber.
