Orlando Raynor, as chairman
the former Veterans Housing Com-mittee
of William Clinton Story
Post, A.L., today issued a state-ment
urging the re-election of the

ration thev have received at all
voted in favor of amending the
Zoning Ordinance to permit the
erection of houses within the salar>
range of veterans desiring to own
their uwn home,. But Walter J
Vv oucl Killed the project by hi.s
negative vote in a matter whicl
Limes in their efforts to provide' required unanimous acuon by law
homes for veterans.
They pointed dut how Mayor
Cyril C. Ryan and Trustees KVuace
F. Carpenter, Joseph H. Gallo and
Leonard D. B. Smith voted..to re-zoue
a portion iof South Grove St.,
to put it through.
"The" only opposition was voiced
by a group of citizens led by Ray
Langan (now a candidate for Vil-lage
Trustee) who had no satisfac-tory
plan to offer as a substitute
to permit the erection of houses for Llie one he opposed. Later at
ul a price within the meaiu of { Public weiings whea our commit-young
veterans. They emphasized! tee asked for suggestions as to how
that Walter J. Wood, by his onejt o assisL veterans to find home.,
vote defeated their plans because neither Mr. Langan nor his running
unanimous action is required -to
upprove an amendment to the Zon-ing
Ordinance.
They, also asserted that Ray
Langan, Home Rule candidate for
Village Trustee, joined with Mr.
mate, Samuel D. Gerber, who as
veterans should have been deeply
concerned, ever attempted to sub-mit
a constructive ^uggestion that
would help to solve the housing
problem cf the veterans.
Wood in opposing the South Grove "Consequently in view of the co-it;,"
jjroTec"tr"and""tha'C'""n'ertlfeT~rie~
nor his running mate, Samuel D. inS Committee at all times, we
Oerber, ever has oiTercd a con-structive
suggestion as to how to
provide homes for veterans.
The statement reads;
"As former members of the Vet-erans'
Housing Committee of Wil-liam
Clinton Story Post, A.L., which
presented a proposal for a veterans'
housing project in the southern
section of the village, we would
like to give credit to the members
of the Village Board who supported
u.? when the matter was put to a
vote after a public hearing.
"Mayor Cyril C. Ryan and-Trus-tees
Horace . F. Carpenter, Joseph
H, Gallo, and Leonard D. B. Smith,
•who are seeking re-election as can-
•; djdate37.,Qf the ., Unity

It assures- Mayor Ryan a;id hi.s

the result of the election nevt

Trustee Walter J. Wood, having
deserted his fellow members in an
attempt to get control of thing.* by
packing the Home Hull Party con-vention
and naming 1 1 is hand-picked
candidates, will do a year
from riow.
The consensus is that those who
joined him in the attempt are
politically dead. The election al-so
demonstrated that civic as.tocl-ations
cannot run village elections,
as- was attempted by the North-east,
and in like manner by some
members of the Atlantic-South
which resented charges they had
done so.
The election also showed that
attempts to pit one section of the
village against the others are also
futile.
The victors held a celebration at
Al. White's after the results were
announced.
