Party Leaders Happy
Political leaders in Freeport were
elated over the village registration
for the "Ptesidejitial election on
Tues'day, Nov. 2, which totaled
31,729, just a couple hundred shy
of the goal or 12,000 sei for the
community. This was an increase
of S3R over the figure four years
ago, when the total was 10.S91.
During the first two days of
.regjstration, 7,595 enrolled while
4,134 turned out last Friday and
Saturday. Though it rained on
day, Saturday was a perfect
and leaders do not believe
citizens were kept away from
polls because of the weather.
Freeport, Valley Stream, Hemp-stead
and Rockville Centre ran a
close race for top honors in the
number of persons registered. Val-lley
Stream was tops with 12,085,
but this figure included -1S3 who
reside outside the village and are
Viot required to register, leaving
31,602 for the incorporated area.
Hempstead came next with 11,75s
or 26 more than Freeport, while
Rockville Centre was fourth with
11,378, 352 behind this community.
Registration for the Town of
Hempstead totaled 205.509, and for
Nassau County 332,469.
An interesting development local-ly
was that at the last moment,
the annexation of Halloway st., to
Freeport, was approved. This left
some voters in doubl as to where
they stood, as they had registered
in Roosevelt. However, tlie At-torney

Civic leaders were enabled to ask
questions concerning reports of in-equalities
in property valuations
winch Mr. Petry answered.
The first reaction to the confer-ence
was at the monthly meeting ot
the Northeast Civic Association
Friday night in the home of Harry

There speakers indicated satisfac-tion
with the way Mr. Petry had

One of the reports was that the
assessed valuatloji of the property
of a -certain official had not beei
raised. They reported Mr. Petry
had shown this to be an error ii
that the properly valuation was
raised $995. There was also a re
port that only a nominal value had
been placed on a plot owned by
another official. In this case, it

an aerial view of Freeport for use
as a premium lo be given .to per-sons

paper or renewed subscriptions.
However, after studying the photo-graph,
taken in the summer when
the trees for which Freeport is
famous were in full foliage, we
have decided it would not serve
the purpose for which it was in-tended.
Large areas were indistinguish-able
because they showed nothing
but tree tops, making it Impossible
for a person to locate his own
property. It looked like a forest.
Schools, the Municipal Building
and other largo-structures -showed
up well,..-..But-The LEADER man-agement
decided it was not enough.
Just as soon as the leaves have
fallen and the trees are bare, an-other

Residents of ITalloway st. shortly will bo enjoying all Hie

owners alonjr the south side of the street have slept in but when they • s„ tAe * p_ pedi o_ ff ff tiih—e iir— . * Freeport*'

• Consequently . they were denied
the economical electric- rates en-joyed
:by the residents of the vil-lage
serviced by the Municipal
Power and Light Plant, and also
the free, municipal garbage collec-tions.
Some months ago residents
'of Halloway street and the inter-secting
street which were in the
same . boat applied to the Village
Fathers to be permitted to secede
from Roosevelt and. become part
of[ the1 Incorporated Village of Free-port.-
,
Before definite action could be
taken, the -aRprqyal-of-yie Hemp-stead
Town Board was necessary.
This was given recently. Other
routine matters had to be attended
to, however. . All the red tape was
unwoimd this week and' the new
territory was annexed to Freeport.
It takes in not only the soutlhside
of Halloway st., but all the land
extending to the. rear lines of the
properties along the north side of
the street in the rear of Davis st,

Petitions Filed
For Lateral Sewers
In Southeast Area
71 percent owners
On Five Streets Sign,
Atlantic-South Hears
The Freeport Sewer Commission
has before it a petition fop the
establishment of a lateral sewer
district to serve the southeastern
section of the village north o!' the
Freeport Bay Estates. It was filed
by John Henneman and a group of
fellow workers who succeeded in
obtaining the'signatures of proper-ty
owners representing more than
71 percent of the assessed valua-tion
of the land to be included in
the district, last Thursday night
with Village Clerk George F. Has-brouck.
Mr. Henneman made the an-nouncement
at the monthly meet-ing
ol the Atlantic-South Civic
Association the same night in "the
South Shore Yacht Club. He said
practically no one refused to sign
the petitions, and that the workers
could have obtained additional
names had they needed them.
The district includes Sporlsmans
ave., Garfield St., Arthur st., Gor-don
pi., and nedell St., from Hay st.
south to the water front.
President P. Russell Meyer'intro-duced
Leroy Kinsey, deputy com-missioner
of public works in charge
of mosquito control in Nassau

its department. He said the Mos-quito
Extermination Commission,
established on a county-wide basis
n 1916, was taken over by the De-mrtment
of Public Works in 1944
and designated as the Mosquito
ontrol Division. This he con-sidered
a better title, as he said
le doubted it would over be pos-sible
to j?xterminate the pest.
Tlie greatest problem, Mr. Kln-ey
said, was in controlling the
