four Assemfily Districts in Nassau
County, including two In Hemp-stead
Town, but did not' fix the
-boundaries in the town. When the
local authorities attempted to set
the lines, the Democratic^ charged
their acts were unconstitutional
and won out in the courts, with
the result that two years ago. Long
Beach constituted one district and
tiie rest of the town the second.
Realizing the unfairness of such
a division a Constitutional Amend-ment
was put through the Legisla-ture
and adopted by the voters of
the state. As a result the First
District will include the villages
west of Rockville Centre including
Oceanside, while the Second Dis-trict
will be made up of Long
Beach and the communities start-ing
in Rockville and extending East
to the Nassau-Suffolk Line.
Frank J. Becker, of Lynbrook,
who has represented this area, is
up for renomination as the candi-date
from, the First District, while
Joseph F.- Carlino, who scored an
upset in the election of two years
years ago when he was elected by
a narrow margin in the Democratic
fitronghold of Long Beach, Is the
deslgnee in the Second" A.D., of
which Freeport is a part. He
certainly is more sure of election
than he, was when he>~rahT6r the
Assembly in Long Beach alone.
Besides the desighees of the Re-publican,
Democratic and American
Labor Parties listed in an adjoin-ing
column, delegates will be elect-ed
to the State and Judicial con-ventions
of these parties and for
members of the State Committees.
DEMOCRATS TO MEET
Plans for Primary Day next Tues-day
will be discussed at a meeting
of the Freeport Democratic Club
tonight in-Pythian Hall. Mrs. May
Bannon, the zone leader, has re-quested
all inspectors and^ commit-tee
members to be present to hear
a special message. President_Charles_
F. Egan will preside.
minimum, within the means
veterans, appeared before the Vil-lage
Board at its hearing Friday
night to oppose such action.
He insisted the people he repre-sented
had the welfare of the G.I.1
at heart and did not wish them
to be victimized by being sold land
unsuitable for home sites.
"All are opposed to the granting
the proposed, zoning change," he
asserted. "They are not opposing
the veterans. They don't want the
veterans to go down there and*'find
they've been victimized."
Mrt Buckley pictured the water
level in the area'"'is' feeing1 only
slightly below the ground level. He
said the property would have to
be graded, and covered with-top-soil
before it could be sodded and
planted with shrubbery. He point-ed
to the unpaved roads and in-sisted
cesspools filled up in no time
at all. In the spring, he added,
roads to the property were inac-cessible
because of the mud.
He then presented a petition on
behalf 6f the property" owners
which reads in part as follows:
"The undersigned propeity own-ers
of land situated on the west-erly
side of South Grove st.; on^
the northerly side of Martha st.;
on the easterly side of Hudson
ave., and on the northerly side of
Jefferson st being the owners
of more than 20 percent of the
area immediately adjacent to the
area subject to the proposed
Amendment to Zonking, ...hereby ob-
-/one
ject to the change, modification or
amendment as proposed 'for the
following reasons:
"That it will depreciate the value
of the_ property of the owners in.
the immediate vicinity.'-
"That there is no immediate
need for the .proposed amendment.
"That the proposed change in
zoning will be a detriment to the
Village of Freeport, by decreasing
the value and tone .• of the entire
area in that section of the village.
"That the building requirements
as they presently exist are a mini-mum
and should not be lessened
for the good of the entire village
"That the owners of the prop-erty
in the area affected have not
been petitioned by this amendment
or change.
"That it Is understood the Vil-lage
Planning Commission is not
in favor of this proposed amend-ment
or change.
"That ther« $s 710 shortage o
^.vacant' land • requiring,;this- amend
nient. • *
"That homes presently existing In
the adjacent neighborhood are of
substantial construction and their
value lessened by this proposed
change.
"It is therefore requested by
those whose signatures are affixed
hereto that the- Village Board dis
approve the proposed amendment
or change." *•
Many of these pointj were in-cluded,
in another petition, which
also cited the fact 'a $50,000 home
was being erected in the area.
within their means on which a
prolonged hearing was held last
Friday night. This announcement
was made by Mayor Cyril C. Ryan
-at the close of the hearing.
The area .recommended by the
Veterans Service Agency, of which
Asa A. Trenchard is chairman, is
bounded by South Grove, Jefferson
and Layton sts., and Hudson ave.
Within this area it is proposed to
permit the erection of houses with
a Hoor area of 700 square feet
instead of 800, the present mini-mum,
on plots 50 by 100 feet. Such,
structures could 'bo either pre-fabricated
or of the standard type.
Mr. Trenchard told of efforts
started nearly a year ago to pro-vide
moderate price houses which
ctju.ld. be maihtajned by....veterans

Due to the narrowness of the
treet, which has a roadway only
0-feet, the residents insisted auto-mobiles
going to and from the sta-ion
would constitute a hazard to
the children of the neighborhood.
They plan to turn out in force to
urge adoption of the change in
zoning.
Another hearing is on the pro-posal
to require cars to be parked
parallel to the curb the full length
of Sunrise highway through Free-port
Just as soon as the repaving
of the roadway is started. There
are to be six traffic lanes with a
mall in the center and the State
has requested the change.
The ordinance if amended would
permit signs in the rear of build-ings
facing on-parking fields and
waterways and on siaewalls, where
they are now prohibited. It is also
proposed to permit owners of build-ings
where there is no suitable
place for signs to apply to the
Board of Appeals for permission
to erert them in the place most
convenient. u
The third hearing will be on a
proposal to amend the section of
the Municipal Zoning Ordinance
in certain respects as it relates to
signs.
There also will be a hearing on
a proposed ordinance requiring li-censes
for all eating places in Uic

100 G.l.'s Want to Build
Orlundo Ruynor safd he had lo-ca
ted builders who were prepared
to erect the houses at this figure,
but nothing could be done until
the zoning ordinance was amended
as the buildings coming within,
these figures had only 740 square
feet of floor space, which did not
come within jthe limits of the ,
existing ordinance.
Mr. Trenchard told of veterans
being driven away from Freepoi't.
where they desired to live, because
they could not locate here. He
said he had applications Ironv at
least 100 G.l.'s who would take
advantage of the opportunity to
build if it was afforded them.

advocated letting down the bars
so the "smaller buildings might—be-located
anywhere within the vil-lage,
regardless of the zoning and
offered -four "-lots -pn Washington
st'., as jStes for such homes. Others
made similar proposals, but both
Mayor Ryan and Mr. Trenchard
pointed out that 100 building plots
were needed immediately to permit
the erection of homes for veterans
before winter.
They asserted also that elsewhere
the cost of the property put homes
for veterans out of their reach.
The Mayor added the Board would
be happy to consider any other
plan that would meet the situation
if any one had one to offer.
Other Areas Investigated
Mr. Maurer listed among the
places investigated Washington St.,
the old Golf Grounds, Meister
