Villoge Police Urge
25-Year Pension Bill
Patrolman Fred Montross, of the
Freeport "Police Benevolent As-sociation
attended the hearing In
Albany yesterday on the-Oondon-
Rapp biu\ providing half-pay re-tirement
for village policemen after
25 years of service.
This measure would give Village
policemen the same benefits as
those provided for__members of the
Nassau County police force under
another "measure also before the
Legislature. When; -.the' Cosnjy
bill was introduced police of the
various villages thought It "was an
all Inclusive measure until they
discovered they had been left out
,*n the cold. Now If they can-not
induce the sponsors of the
county bill to amend the measure
to cover them also, they plan to
go ahead in pushing their own
legislation.

Irritoting Incidents
It is probable that the Village
Board will liberalize tho Zoning
Ordinance as it restricts signs as
a result of the announcement made
by William Lies, jr., vice-president,
at the BoaTd meeting Friday night
that the Williams Furniture Co.
was conslderingnnovlng its. business
from Freeport.
Mr. Lies cited a list of irritating
incidents that had occurcd within
eight months culminating in the
refusal of the Zoning Board, of
""""vT&WK5*-fb"F"
the company to install two Illumin-ated
Westinghouse signs on it*
buildings. Mayor Cyril O. Ryan,
lowever, assured Mr. Lies, he was
certain things could be rectified to
the satisfaction of all concerned.
Mi\ Lies said the company had
(Uffercd two burglaries, two Ores
md been started outside its bu! ta-ngs,
$800 worth of plate glass

up of one warehouse because of the
expense of replacing broken win-dows,

The State Department of Public Works is to install a
light at Sunrise Highway any Ocean ove,, eliminating a traRic
hazard that has worried drivers for years.
This Village Board was advised®
of the plan An a letter from R. C.
Oeorger, director of the State Traf-fic
Commission, at its meeting {Fri-day
night. Mr. Oeorger said a
survey of traffic conditions at the
intersection had been made in com-pliance
a request of the
•bodrd. After a complete study and
a, \careful review of all conditions
at the Intersection, he added, the
commission had approved the trus-tees'
request, for a light:
It is to be a seml-vehlciile actu-ated
signal^ similar to .those at
other Intel-sections 'along Sunrise.
Highway. In addition there will
be a supplemental'light on Ocean
ave., north <Xf the Long Mdand
Railroad-^tracks and .the complete
.signal will be Ude in. with the rail-road
signal system, ao ^hat when
the gates are^'dowa red lights will
hold up traffic across Sunrise High-way.
Further pedestrian push buttons
are to be. (Installed so the signal
can be actuated by pedestrians
crossing the highway.
Mr. Oeorger wrote also that con-ditions
could be further Improved
by the prohibition of parking with-in
60 feet on each side of the In-tersection.
Mayor Cyril C. Ryan
announced a, .resolution already had
been adopted carrying out this sug-gestion.
0 on the warehouse at Sunrise High*
18 way and Henry st. However, he
63 continued, when appHcaUon was
a? made for permission to fnstnll the
signs, n permit was Denied be-cause
they did not comply with
the Zoning Ordinance. Then the
company applied to the Zoning
Board of Appeals for a variance
and it was denied. Had the aigna
been up, Mr. Lies contended, the
oncern would have been, sa*cd
ome of Its loses due to vandalmm
because of the Illumination.
"We are making plans to move
our main store, our three ware-houses
and our delivery system
from Freeport," Mr. Lies said in
prefacing his remarks. "Several
other villages- are anxious for us
to locate in their localities."
Mr. Lies said the company
started in business in Freeport .in
-a modest way eighteen years ago,
and its buslness^ethics must have
met with approval for it now had
branches In four other communi-ties
on Long "Island, Hem&atead,
Lynbropk, Bay ShoreLRnd Hunting-ton.
He said the ooard should
not only grant OhlefPeter Elar's
application" for nine additional
pdilcomen, but! might well make
the number 18, as " the increase
would tend to decrease the damage
suffered by merchants through
vandalism and attract other con-cerns
to Freeport.
the
and
intersection has been regard-eJ^
as th/? most dangerous in the
.village . Policemen stationed" there
to -regulate trade have been reluc-tant
to. accept the assignment.
Heretofore the state authorities
have refused to Install a light con-tending
the crossing was
to Orove At. "
He expressed regret at having
to bring up the subject, but said:
"Someone has got to wake up. The
situation is very serious. There are
too many restrictions which are
curbing business,, at this time."
Mayor Ryan remarked: "We don't
want you to move"%Qt' of; Froeport.
We regret these acts of "Vandalism
and think we can attend to the
things about which you have
spoken." ^ ,
