Mansperger Group
AskefMo Resume
Chesf Plan Study
Community Council
Acts After Hearing
Five Towns Official
The committee, headed by Mar-
•t!n M. Man.'perger, which was
studying the advisability of estab-lishing
a Community Chest for
Preeport when the war forced it
to cease its activities, is to be
asked to take iip where it left off
and continue until a definite de-cision
is reached.
This was decided at a meeting
cf the Community Council Monday
night In the Municipal Building at
which, Daniel L. Monroe, a director
of the • Five Towns Community
Chest, explained the operations and
Advantages of such an organiza-tion.
The Rev. Wesley N. Haines
chairman of Committee on Public
Affairs of the Rotary Club, presided
and introduced Mr. Monroe.
He explained he-e Q^e five vil-lages

450 Million Gallons of
Water Pumped Last Year
Universal Metering Only Remedy
Van Riper Tells Home Rule Party
Of a total of 700,000.000 gallons pumped for the Frccport
waler supply, last year, only 250,000,000 could be accounted for,
Mllford F. VanRiper, chief clerk of the Municipal Waler Depart-
Which weie paid in full, and the
remainder in quarterly and even
monthly installments.
The cost of conducting the cam-paign,
Mr. Monroe "put at $5,000
the salary of an executive director
and $15,962 for expenses of one
kind or another, including $3,000
for a publication which he said
probably would be discontinued.
Thus the expenses totaled 12.2 per-cent
of the pledgee, which he did
not consider excessive.
Community chests, Mr. Monroe
said, create a consciousness in
everybody in, the community for
one reason or another that every-body
should support the Chest. He
it was a systematic way to
help social, health( recreational and
character building organizations to
carry on their activities with tho
certainty of having adequate finan-cial
means to do so.
As %G. Clifford Jones, executive
secretary of the chec- 1 in Port-
: Chester. N. Y., told the Rotary Club
recently, Mr. Monroe said the en-hancement
of "the -community spirit
Was a byproduct of ~tfie~chesfr that
valuable to a village. He also
said it eliminated over-lapping in
financing "organizations and tended
to prevent the mushrooming of
groups inspired by individuals with
pet ideas.
President
ment, said at the January meeting1^
of the Home Rule Party in Exempt
Firemen'^ Hall. What proportions
of the remaining 450,000,000 gallons
were used, wasted or.lost into the
sandy soil through leaks and breaks
in pipes, he added, no one could
tell.
Only universal metering, Mr
VanRiper continued, would enable
Water Department officials to de-termine
what became cf the water
after it was pumped. He cited
Pasadena, Cal., as an example,
saying only 8 percent of the water
in that city was unaccounted for,
while in Hartford, Conn., the per-cciuage
is 12 percent, compared
with Freeport's 64 percent.
Mr. VanRiper and Ar.iold S.
Yongen, acting superintendent Of
the Water Department outlined the
history of the department and gave
figures concerning its activities. Mr.

He said the village wns not
charging for water, only for the
cost of delivering it to homes anil
places of business. He also pointed
out that if Freeport had' to pay
$40, annually for each fire hydrant,
the cost to the municipality would
be $32,000, which would not include
the many other free services for
which proporcy owners are not
taxed. If water meters were in-stalled,
he maintained the average
consumer would not have to pay
any more than he does at present.

bonded indebtedness of $245,000 was
being paid off at the rate of $22,000
a year, while the net cash profit
for last year was only $20,416.84,
hot enough to cover the amortiza-tion

Mr. Yongen said the municipal
department was established in 1894
by William "R.J3mith. At that time
four shallow wells were dug, two
steam pumps installed and a 100-
foot standpipe erected, with a
capacity of 55,000 gallons a , day.
In August 1929 the half-million
gallon tank in the Northwest was
started, four wells 500 feet deep
were driven, and the capacity in-creased
to 600,000 gallon-. In 1937
the 1,000,000 gallon tank and two
deep wells with B. daily capacity
•of 10,000,000 were started. During
the winter, he continued, 2,000,000
gallons are pumped daily while in
the summer the figure sometimes
climbs to 4,090000.
He spoke of the purity of the
water, the excellence of the distri*
button system with the con-equent
low insurance rates and said the
entire system was valued at $1.800,-
