Votesto Ask P. S. C.
For Night Sessions;
Ask Mall Shrubbery
At Its monthly meeting in Exempt
Firemen1 Hall Monday night, the
Southwest Civic Association, voted
to request the Public Service Comr
mission to hold future hearings on
the application of the Long Island
Rail Road for an additional fare
increase in Frceport, either in the
Municipal Building or the High
School auditorium. It *ttso was
proposed that these 'hearings be
conducted at night. It was con-tended
that FYeeport would be a
central place in which to hold the
gatherings.
The association also went on
record as favoring the planting of
shrubbery in the mall -along Sun-rise
highway. Sylvester Haberman,
of the Rotary Club of Freeport,
which originated the idea, ex-plained
. the State would plant the
shrubbery, but that it would have
to be maintained by the village.
Attention was called to the fact
that present lighting facilities were
nadequate to provide proper illum-
.nation for the wide roadway with
,ts black pavement. Trustee Lean-ard
D. B. Smith said the Village
Board realized this and had given
t serious consideration. He added
t had been estimated it would
cost $40,000 to install a new system,
which was out of the question,
io it now was proposed to erect
;jolcs with arms extending over the
•oadway, and to, substitute 10,000
watt bulbs^ for thoso now in use.
After Trus-eo Smith hud ex-plained
the need of parking T.olds
in Freeport, the association went
on record as favoring the proposed
S593,300./bond issue on which a
hearing was held Tuesday night.
President George A. Albert presided.

Keeps Hands Clean
As He Clears Lawn
Of Autumn Leaves i
Nicely kept lawns furnish
adequate "Comfort Stations"
for the members of the Canine
population of Freeport, greatly
to the inconvenience of the
owners in cleaning up the
leaves dropped from the trees.
A former village official, who
desires to be known only as
Mr. Anonymous, has suggested
to THE LEADER a simple way
to ovcrsomc this inconvenience
without even the need of re-sorting
to the wearing of gloves.
1 He rakes the leaves into a
pile. Then he shoves an old
automobile license plate under
the pile, puts another on top,
shoves one hand under the
lower plate and lays, the other
over the top one. lifts up the
leaves and carries them to
wherever he plans to burn
them. He says that in this
"ay he is able to carry at
least a basket of leaves at one
time and still keep his hands
clean.

to the Boy Scouts of the
