Two Bus Routes
For Northwest
Before Board
One Just to Serve
Area—Other Would
Run to Hofstra
Plans for two bus lines, both
to serve the northwest section of
the village are before the Village
Board for action.
Benjamin Shebar has filed an
application on behalf of Daniel
Dileo, who operates the Freeport-
Roosevelt line, for a franchise to
operate buses from the Long Is-land
Rail Road station north to
Pennsylvania ave., and the Free-port-
Roosevelt line. The petition
was signed by 400 residents of the
northwest area, and in the accom-panying
letter, Mr. Shebar wrote
the territory was not entirely can-vassed
for signatures.
During the war when an applica-tion
for such a franchise was made
residents of the area strongly op-
•posed it and the plan 1'cll through.
Recently however, after it had been
revived, the Northwest Civic Asso-ciation
endorsed the movement
However, at the suEprestion of
Mayor Cyril C. Ryan the Village
Board at its meeting Thursday
night, decided to ascertain whether
the group that filed the original
application was still interested in
vtho- project. At the next meeting
the matter will be referred to the
Transportation Commission. After
the village acts, the application will
have-to £e passed on by the Public
Service Commission of the State
before a franchise can be issued.

Civics Asks Repeal llmits:
Of O/eo Coloring Ban
The Southwest Civic Asso-ciation
at its meeting; Monday
night in Exempt Firemen's
Hall, voted to request State
Senator John D. Bennett and
Assemblyman Joseph Carlino
to introduce bills at the com-ing
session of the Legislature
repealing: the ban on the
coloring of oleomargarine by
the manufacturers.
It was pointed out that this
law was enacted at the behest
of the dairy interests with a
view to making it inconvenient
to use butter substitutes, and
that consequently persons using
oleo at this time to keep down
the cost of living were being
penalized by unfair legislation.
Auserehl Gets Delay
In Municipal Garage
Holloway st., for those who do
not know the Freeport topography,
is a block long street running east
from North Main st. to Ellison ave.
and lying between Forest ave.,
Freeport, and Davis st. in Roose-velt.
The dividing line between the
two conununities runs east and
west two feet north of the build-ing
line of the houses on the south
side of the street, so, though the
houses are entirely in Freeport, all
bul. two feet Of the front yards and
the sidewalks are in 'Roosevelt.
This is a novel arrangement but
highly inconvenient.
The people cannot get electricity
from the Municipal power plant at
the same economical cost ether
villagers do, because the street is
in another community served by
the Long Island Lighting GJ., and
the light department is banned
from erecting poles and stringing
wires m front of the houses. ,

The monthly collection of
waste paper by Henry Theodore
Mohn Post, V.F.W., is scheduled
for next Sunday. Trucks,
manned by veterans, will start

A.M., so all paper should be

size so it can be easily picked

George O. Schneider presided.
A considerable time was spent in
discussing the matter of the pro-posed
$593,300 bond issue for
Municipal parking fields on which
the Village Boacd conducted a

decided to do something about
it. They circulated a petition ask-ing
that the boundary line be
changed to 'remedy the situation,
and presented it to the Village
Board. It was signed by ten Hollo-way

Before the F r e e p o r t Village
Fathers can do anything, however,
the matter must be approved by
the Hempstead Town Board, as the

not been finally decided and would
not be until all the evidence wns
in. The proposed division of 25 per-cent
on the village at lar^r and 75
percent on the business urea, he
added, was advanced only for the
purpose of argument.
He contended, however, that the
primary importance of the project
was to provide comfort for all and
enhance the value of property not
only in the business area but resi-dential
holdings as well. On the
75 and 25 percent basis, he said.
$444,975 would be assessed against
the business area iind $145.325 on
the rest of the village. On this
basis, he said, the cost to a person
owning property assessed at $1,000

3-Hour Parking Limit Voted
In Bokack and Spartan Fields
To provide parking space for patrons of stores on South Grove

parking in the Bohacic and Spartan Chirr -fields to three hours.
This action was taken after
Police Chief Peter Elar had sub-mitted
a report on the number of
all day parkers in the two fields.
Eolice counts were taken on Sept.

parked their cars the first day in
the Bohack Field and 43 in the

the counts Were 32 and 30 re-spectively.
