period. Never, he declared, has, a
community discontinued the use of
meters once they have been in-stalled.
Turnover of a merchant's busi-ness
is dependent on the availabili-ty
of space in the vicinity of his
etore, he said. He spoke of Free-port
merchants being dependent on
liatronage of out of town residents
for., a.large part of their busine-is
and the advantage they would gain
if parking facilities were Increased.
Meters, Mr. Jensen continued,
usually were installed on a six
jnontns' trial basis, with the Village
Board having the authority to dis-continue
their use at the end of
that time. The company charges
no down payment at the time of
Installation, he said, so the meter
l»ay for themselves and title is
turned over to the community
coon as the company has been
compensated irt full Should a vil-lage
decide to discontinue use of
meters, he said, the company agreed
to remove them and restore the
street to its original condition.
There are meters with twelve
timing combinations, he explained,
but the type in most general use
ts one in which a cent is inserted
for 12 minutes and a nlckle for tin
luur's parking. Upkeep, he as-cured,
is very economical and the
receipts will help to reduce taxa-tion
for the upkeep of streets.
Chief Eiar answered numerous
questions asked by the members.

$5,544 in Arrears
On Colyer Propeprty
Throughout the discussion that
was started' when Village Trustee
-•Walter J. "Wood accepted a deed
for a dollar turning over the Col-yer
property on Stevens st., just
off Main, to the village as a site"
for a veteran's housing project,
various amounts halve been given
as to the arrears infixes and as-sessments
there -on the plot.
Figures revealed by Mayor Cyri!
C. Ryan, show the total to be
$5,544.29 less costs on town arrears.
Of the total $1,468.79 is due the
f village on unpaid taxes since 1934.
$1,792.29 on lateral, Sewer District
2, and $409.53 on Sidewalk Con-tract
8, or $3.640.60 in all.
School and Town Taxes duo
since 1939 aggregate $1,903.69, less
costs.
Since the original "transaction,"
~the veterans' housing project has
~ been-rejected -and -now the 'North-east
Civic Association is endeavor-
Ing to have the land taken over
-for a playground. The property was
eold in the recent Nassau County
tax sale. It came up before the
Froeport Planning Commission of
which Mr. Wood is chairman, but
nothing was done about it.

moment before being forced to re-linquish
his grip and dropped to
the sidewalk He fractured both
legs in the fall in addition to suf-fering

building down which the other ten-ants
made their way to safety.
Browner lived with his ageu
mother, a brother and a boarder,

Bonus for Teachers
Also Urges Village
--Board to Increase
Own Compensation
Immediate payment of a 20 per
cent cost of liv:ng bonus to
teachers and all other employees
of the Department of Education
was recommended in a resolution
adopted by the Southwest Civic
Association at its monthly meeting
Monday night in Exempt Firemen's
Hall.
James F. Wood, chairman of a
committee named to consider the
matter, reported that while Free-port
had one of the best staffs
of teachers in the country, some
were considering turning to other
lines because they felt they could
not live on their present incomes,
He said some districts on the north
shore were paying higher salaries
and compared the renumeratiou
received even by those in the higher
brackets with the wages paid truoc
drivers: On his recommendation the
association took the action it did.
