Much of the time was taken up
with a discussion of the advis-ability
of developing the water-front
of the village for industry,
including islands off shore be*
longing to the Town of Hemp-stead.
Chairman Seaver announced he
attended a meeting in Merrick at

Several speakers referred to toe
ban on oil tanks in the zoning by
both the town and village, as
precluding any development of
this kind in the area.,1 Attention
was called to the fact that both
the village and private plants
have oil tanks with up to 100,000-
gallon capacity, and several inti-mated
they could not compre-hend
why larger tanks should be
prohibited along the shore or of?
shore.
Mr. Seavcr expressed the opin-ion
that the new Department of
Commerce of New-York -State
would be anxious to help obtain
industries for Freeport, if re-quested,

He said the party constituted

good if it carried on conserv-atively
and quietly. It is not a
political party in the usually ac-cepted
sence of the word, he
added, and is in a position to
do % constructive job for the
village. This may appear to be
idealistic, he added, but in .real-ity
