Fishing Boat Sign-
Ordinance Opposed
A proposal to amend the village
sign ordinance to permit owners
of fishing boats occupying small
spaces, met with such opposition
at a hearing before the Village
Board Thursday night, it was de-cided
to submit thX? matter to
committee of all parties interested
for further consideration before
any action is taken.
It was proposed to permit own-ers
of plots with less than 100
foot frontage to maintain a sign
no larger than three feet by six,
set parallel to the street, for the
purpose of identifying the name
of the boat, and captain or owner,
sailing schedule and fare. Capt.
Edward S a mm is firs t asked sev-eral
questions concerning the
origin of the proposal, and Ken-neth
E. Vought presented a peti-tion
contraining the signatures of
22 property owners along Wood-cleft
ave., in opposition to the
amendment.
Mr, Vought contended that if
such signs were permitted, they
would almost form a fence along
the street and added it would be
impossible for a person in an auto-mobile
to read them while driving
through the street. He also called
the proposal discriminatory and
insisted the matter had not re-ceived
adequate study.

Ject of a hearing. At present; Council- the Community Council of
Church st., is less than 50 feet j freei)CI l and, the United Religions
in width, and the plan us to pro-vide
for the eventual widening of
the street to 60 feet, to protect
both the village and the county
against paying for extensive im-provements
that might be installed
before it is decided to carry out
the widening. When -the work is
done, . the village will, pay one-third
of the cost of acquiring neces-sary
property, while the county
will pay two-thirds and also the
cost of the improvement.
Finally there is to be a hearing
on the proposed widening and ex-tension
of Smith st., from a point
just west of Ocean ave., through
Lee pi., and St. Johns pi., to con-,
nect up with East Merrick rd. to
link up, with a widened Henry st.
The purpose of this improvement
is to provide access co the busi-ness
area, parking fields and con-venience
to traffic going east by
reducing the traffic on Merrick rd.
"~It is'planned to widen Smith st.,
to 60 feet by adding five feet to
each side of the road, except for
the block through the business
area from Church st., to North
Main, where it is proposed to add
five feet to the north and 10 to
south to make it a 70-foot street.
The tip of the property at the
southeast corner of - Bedell and
Main sts., would be rounded off,
and the street extended through
Hanse Park to Lee pi., ^vhich
would b- widened five feet on each
side, then through some private
property to link up with St. Johns
pi., and then with Merrick rd. To
reduce the cost of acquiring prop-erty
at the Merrick rd. connec-tion,
where there are several con-crete
buildings, the dedication map
provides for taking as little of "this
Co.'.:mittee cf the F'reeport Cham-ber
of Commerce. In some way
every home in our village is repre-sented,
directly or indirectly. The
devotional meeting is thus assured
of the interest cf citizens of
and every origin.
The Board cf Trustees of the
Village of Freeport gladly joins with
these citizens In suggesting that
everyone who can do so attend the
meeting in person, and that those
who cannot attend, participate in-dividQally
by listening to its broad-cast
over radio station WJGBB. We
feel assured that great good will
result, net to our community alone,
but to the nation, from this and
ether meetings dedicated to so fine
a pui*pose.
