Why Continue to Gamble With Their Health and
That of YOUR Children
u
Do you know that the entire \ialciTionl area and oilier sections of Freeport
are without sewers and that conditions an- so bad that the New York Stale
and Nassau County Departments of Health have ORDERED Frceporl to
install sewer?.
EPIDEMICS AND DISEASE THREATEN
from overflowing cesspools draining RAW sewerage into our channel;: and
bays. This danger increases daily as new homes arc built in these areas.
LACK OF SEWERS HAS RESULTED IN: t
A. Condemnation of your village owned beach and warnings against
swimming in Freeport's inland waters.
B. Seafood from local waters has been condemned.
HEALTH CANNOT BE MEASURED IN DOLLARS
BUT HERE ARE THE FACTS
YOUR COST
The cosfc of the proposed sewer plan to property owners now 'enjoying the
benefits of sewers is very small as less than $15.000 per year is to be borne
by the taxpayers of the village at large or less than $2.50 per year on a
village assessed valuation of $5.000. ;
OUR COST
The large part of the total cost of the sewer expansion program is to be
paid by properly owners in the unsewered area—estimated at $10.23 to
$13.30 per linear foot: The total cost may be amortized over a twenty year
period. ^ - '
These taxpayers have for many years paid their proportionate share ol
the trunk lines, interest charges, and maintenance of the present sewer
system without the benefits thereof.
IS COST TOO HIGH?
It has been staled that costs are now high but there is no assurance that they
will be any lower five years hence!. It should be noted that interest rates
are now at an all-time low—any saving in construction costs obtained by
waiting may well be largely offset by increased interest charges.
DO YOU CARE?
A referendum* is to be held Saturday, June 20. 1917 on the question of
constructing extensions to the existing village sewerage system. - --=•--
Will you help us protect the health of all Freport's children by giving
us the benefits and protection of the sewers'now being enjoyed by the rest
of the village?
If sorVote YES on this proposition .at your local
polling place — SATURDAY, JUNE 28th, 1947. Hours:
