Legion Hits Wood
for Killing Plan
To House Veterans
Calls His Stand
'Reprehensible' and
Seejcs Early Action
Members of William Clinton
Storp post. A.L., lost no time ir
condemning Trustee W a l t e r J
* Wood for his action In killing the
plan to provide a place where vet-erans
could build homes at a price
within their means. Members of
the post rushed from the Municipal
Building to the Dugout as soon as
the Board had acted Friday night
and Orlando Raynor chairman of
the Homes for Veterans Committee
submitted a report immediately.
He announced that while Mayor
Cyril C. Ryan, Trustees Horace F.
Carpenter, Joseph H. Gallo and
Leonard D. B. Smith had Voted
for the proposed none change in
South Grove St., Mr. Wood had cast
a negative vote, killing the plan
for which unanimous action was
required.
"'^"Commander' William Ai Sriyder

-Resolution comprising' Past '..Com-manders.
Herman C. Dunker^Henry
Kranz and Edmund A. Robson,
The three met with Mr. Raynor
George V. Maurer, Paul A. Weill.
Benry Ncwburger and Louis De-
Silva, . of the housing committee.
The resolution commended the
action taken by Mayor Ryan and
Trustees Carpenter, G a l l o and
Smith in supporting the project,
and resolved "that the post con-demns
the reprehensible action oi
Trustee Wood, who by his negative
vote made it impossible bo alleviate
the accute veterans' housing short-age."
The Village Board also was
requested "to take_ such action as
will remedy this desperate housing
situation by making possible im-mediate
permanent or emergency
housing facilities for the veterans
of Freeport."
Copies of the resolution were
ordered sent to the Veteran? of
Foreign Wars, Henry Morrison
Post, A.L., of Bennington Park and
--the -Village Board. .
Just as soon as the- Board con-vened,
Mayor Ryan- called on Vilf

to poll the members on -. the pro-posal
to amend the Zoning Ordin-ance
to permit the erection of
houses with 700 square feet of floor
space per family instead of 800 as
is now required In an area east of
South Grove st:, and south of the
Freeport Yacht Club. Mr, Wood
alone opposed the plan.
As soon as the result was an-
. nounced, Mr. Wood read a prepared
statement and concluded with , a
resolution in which he charged bhe

Seven A.L.P. Votes Cast
In Freeport Primaries
Republican and Democratic Slates
Nominated Without Opposition
As there were no contests in the Primaries of any party here
on Tuesday, interest centered in the number of votes polled by the
American Labor Party which has been endeavoring to make its
r i . • »-* " presence felt in Freport.
Despite its aggitatlon in the
Ferguson case, and attempts to
create a Buyers' Strike in this
community, its designers for nom-ination
to the various offices re-ceived
just seven votes. These were
divided among five of the 15 elec-tion
districts, one each in the 10th,
llth and 13th, and two each in
the 86th and 180th. The A.L.P
designees drew ciphers in the -other
ten.
The police took cognizance of
the vote for the nominations for
Congress and County Executive in
which the A.L.P.. endorsed the
Democratic nominees.
The totals for the village in
these contests were jxs follows:
For Congress nomination—Leon-ard
W. Hall, (Rep.) 743; Josephine
Uterhart Mayes, (Dem.i 101; Jose-phine
Uterhart Mayes (A.L.p.> 7

On village Signs
Asher Nickelsberg
Cites Many Instances
Of Violations Here
Adoption of the amended sign
code of the comprehensive village
Zoning Ordinance was delayed by
the Village Beard Friday night.
after Asher Nickelsberg, speaking
for the merchants, characterized it
as "outmoded, old-fashicued and
Just plain bad."
Mr. Nickelsberg fauggrsied the
matter -be referred to a commit-tee
with a view to working out a
code satisfactory to all iparties
concerned. Mayor Cyril C. Ryan
'mmediately designated him to
head such a group.
The-«mendments included pro-visions
for signs on the rear walls
of stores facing on parking fields
or the water, also on sidewalls and
left it for owners of stores lacking
facilities for signs .to take the
matter up with the Board of Zon-ing-
Appeals.
Mien, Mayor Ryan 'announced
the hearing • on the proposed
ordinance, Mr. Nickelsberg was on
his feet at once. He said there
were from 2,200 to 2,500 signs in
'the village, the majority of which
"iolated the ordinance in one way
•>r another. He said only about
400 sign owners had obtained sign
permits, the others not having
ix)thered to do so.
He' then spent considerable time
'isting signs which violated the
ordinance in one way or another.
"He" showed" how some" of Crle~ prin-cipal
merchants on Main st., would
have to spoil the fronts of their
stores if they went to the expense
of altering ttieir signs to conform
with the requirements of the
ordinance.

which he insisted the company
could not afford to meet the de-mands
of the men. They are mem-bers

than 100 changes in working rules.

opposed the plan of the Vil-lage
Board to place all eating
places in J'Yeeportr under license
at a hearlnij held oti Friday night.
They insisted such action would
duplicate the functions of state
and county authorities and im-pose
an unnecessary additional tax
on local restauranteers.
Mayor Cyril C. Ryan in opening
the hearing caljed attention to
the fact Rockville Centre and
Hempstead have ordinances under
which restaurants and other places
.iave to pay a village tax. Al B.
White, wiho proposed the ordin-ance,
stood his ground .and .insist-ed'
th'cr'e''"was heed for such an

newcomers who provided rooming
.acilities in connection with the
sale of liquors.

under advisement and at a special

system of distribution.
This Is not an appeal for charity. It Is a good business proposition.
It should be perfectly obvious that we cannot afford to put out as good
a paper to give away as we could if It was supported by our readers.
The time is ripe to make the change, and we're most anxious to
do so just as soon as Freeporters enable us to take the step . We don't
have to ask newcomers to town to subscribe. They take it for granted-as
they have done so in the 'places from whence they came.
