•Freeport
North Main Street
Merchants Oppose
Parking Restriction
Board Refers Plea
For Easing of Ban
To Police Chief
•Proprietors of stores located
north bT Seaman -we., on North
Main st., petitioned the Village
Board at its meeting Friday night
to ease the baa on parking on the
west side of the street, imposed at
'.he request of residents of the area
several months ego.
Petitions signed by numerous
business men were submitted to the
x>ard 'by counsel for the group.
They contended the "ban on park-ng
has seriously impaired our busi-ness,"
and "the further ban on
marking will affect the business,
more adversely."
Mayor Cyril C. Ryan explained
the ban was put into effect as a
safety measure, because of the nar-rowness
of the street. Counsel
agreed this situation existed and
proposed that parking on the west
side of the street be .permitted ex-ept
from 7 to 9 A.M., and 5 to 7
P.M., when traffic is heaviest. He
added it might be well not to per-mit
Liu ks to park at any time.
Mayor Ryan icferred the matter
o Police Chief Peter Elar'for in-
'e.stlgation and report.
The Board -also took under ad-isement
recommendation's" Ifnm the
Atlantic South Civic Association
or an pmendment to the building
ordinance to permit a type of bulk-heading
on waterways less than 75
eet in width, that would reduce
he cost of bulkheading on resi-ential
waterways.
Thi-.s was core during a hearing
on an amendment proposed by the
Board which it was contended was
insufficient and also ^practicable.
The Civics proposed that along "the
narrower waterways the ordinance
be amended to permit square edge
sheet piling with a net thickness of
two inche, which could be fuinish-ed
at the same cost as sheeting
with a nominal thickness of two
inches, as .proposed by the Village,
"and is far more practical."
Two bids were submitted for a
contract to construct a drain-at
Casino Beach. They .were as fol-lows:
William Auserehl. Inc.', $946;
George W. Sammis^ $290.
I Recommendations for improving
• the street lighting in Lexington
and Park .aves., Washington', Pine
and Jefferson sts., were approved
and ordered put into effect.
Police Chief Peter ELar announo-ed
the resignation of Benjamin H.
Knowles as a -provisional patrol-man.
A request of. Fred. C^-Ware for
a change in zoning of ..both sides
of Pine st., between B/ayview and
Long Beach aves., from Residence
A to Apartment was taken under
advisement.
j»A letter was received from the
National Conservation Bureau ad-vising
the board its request for a,
traffic survey in Freeport could not
be considered fox at least six
months,
J. J. Darcy district enelreer of
the New York State Department of
Public Works advised the Board
installation of the traffic light at
Sunrise Highway and Ocean -ave.,
would be compacted ju'st as soon as

If the 35.000,000 Americans who have received less than a
five-year schooling could he raised to high school graduates, their
increased income would he sufficient to pay off the S272.000.000.000
national debt in 20 years with

told an audience in the Free-port
High School auditorium Mon-day
night.
Dr. Sutton, superintendent-emi-tus
of the schools of Atlanta, Ga.,
and a former president of the Na-tional
Education Association, spoke
at the celebratio,n of the 50th An-niversary
of the Parent^Teacher
Association movement sponsored by
the Central Council of Freeport of
which Mrs. Herbert Bond is. presi-dent.
He discussed the connection
Between education and earning
power. He went on to point out
the advantages that would accrue
f the backward nations of the
world all could be educated.
Dr. John W. Dodd introduced the
speaker. Dr. Sutton told of how
When he went to Atlanta in 1914,
he applied for -membership in the
Chamber of Cpfflmerce, and found
no classification existed for school-nen,
not even superintendents. Ht
finally gained admission, however.
After hearing the chamber "blow
ts own 'horn" about the advant-ages
of Atlanta, he said he went to
Indianapolis, a city about the same
size, and found it had many more
names in its telephone directory.
Next he visited Denver, Col., and
discovered the papers there had a
much larger circulation, and got
much more ~from their advertising
than the Atlantic publications.
Returning home he sought the
reason, and found it rested entirely
on the matter of education. For
instance he found within a radius
of 300 miles of Atlanta, 150,000
people could neither read nor write
consequently did not buy papers.
This situation did not exist in the
vicinity of Denver. He told of how
he conyjnced the people" of Georgia
