a hearing on a line through the
Northwest ^section of the village
jconducted by,, the Village • Board
Thursday night. Two voiced opposi-tion
while another Huid buses tend-ed
to increase property values.
Four alternate routes were offer-ed,
all of which- provided for run-ning
the vehicles along Pennsyl-vania
ave. for varying distancesrto
the village line, one from Wilson
pi.,- another from Prince ave., and
the other two from Seaman ave.
However, Seward Baker, c^iIFmaiT
of- the Municipal Transportation
Commission insisted thaMubus-line
should serve the convenience of the
'greatest number of people and "you
-cannot request the people to use a
side street instead of-a-main st.
where there is already considerable
traffic; you cannot object to a bus
running only every -half—:hour-
Buses have got to go somewhere
where there are people."
Mayor Cyril C. Ryan outlined the
routes suggested.
Four Routes Suggested ^
• The first provides for a line orig-inating
in the.bus terminal, along
Henry st., to Broadway, to. Brook-lyn
ave., to Long Beach ave., to
Prince ave., to Pennsylvania and
then north to the village line, from
where it would continue on to Hof-stra
college out of the jurisdiction
of the local authorities.
be the sapie'as the first, .except that
the connection from Long Beach to
Pennsylvania ave, would be through
Seaman ave., while still another
, would carry it through Wilson pi.
Anpther route, the one advocated
by the Transportation Commission,
would start on Railroad ave., at the
-. station.-^-proceed- weBt«.-along -Rail-road
ave. into Sunrise Highway to
Bergen pi., then north to Brooklyn
ave.,; west to Long Beach, north to
Seaman, west-to Pennsylvania and
then north to the Rooseyeltjirie.
- Mr. Baker contended that the
i convenience of this route was that
people would not have to cross the
tracks to get- to the buses, nerha-na
flelayfid by trains on the west-bound
track.- Mark Hroncich,
president of the Northwest—Civic-Candidates for the office of Second
Association suggested that if this
route was adopted, it might be well
.to continue the buses along Sunrise
Highway to Bay-view ave., and then
.directly into Pennsylvania aye.::

State-Local Co-operation Advocated ^—=
As Means of Reducing Motor Accidents * i • ' , •. • ' . • *
Village Counsel and Police Chief Speak
At Meeting-of-Municipal~Safety Council
Need for Closer co-operation'* between- the Motor Vehicle
Commission of tile State and local poiicTJ antorities as" a" moans
of ^'decreasing automobile .accidents was indicated by Village
Counsel Martin H. Wayrauch and
"Police Chief Peter Elar at -the
March meeting of .the* Village
Safety Council. The 'two officials
attended the meeting on instruc-tions
of UIR Village-Board, the mem-bers
of which visited the scene of
a recent fatal accident on West
Merrick rd., shortly after the trage-dy
occurred.
Local police and officials agreed
at the tinie that the driver of one
of the cars involved was unfit to
drive, but after the Homicide Squad
of the Nassau County Police pe-partmeut
took over, he was given
.a— summons, merely- charging him
with driving without a license.
Cites. a Typical Case
'Mr. Weyrauch spoke at some
length concerning the number of
acpidents that have happened in
the village, several oTT which re-sulted
in fatal injuries. He cited
the action of the Motor Vehicle
Bureau in conducting, hearings in
"Hlneola" and recited one instance
in which a man riding a motorcycle,
jumped the curb and struck --a
pedestrian inflicting, injuries which
left him permanently crippled.
The operator of -the—motorcycle,^
Mr. Weyrauch continued, had Tailed
to stop at a "Full Stop" sign and
was driving without a license. He
was called, to Appear bet-ore the
Motor'Vehicle Bureau *fh Mineola
and questioned, as was "the victim
of the action.
"At the end of the hearing the
person who committed the act was
told that if he did it again the State
would do something, about, it," vil-lage
counsel remarked.
Urges Letter to Albany
. "Inasmuch as this is typical of
the methods of the Motor Vehicle
Commission," Mr. Weyrauch con-tinued.
"it is mv belief that.
Safety Council should address a
letter to the Commission in Albany,
after obtaining a list of local cases
.to.mjChietJElar, and ask it to sup-ply
information as to what specific
