Villatie Trustees
Fdwin H. Payne of Baldwin address¬ ed the Village Board of Trustees at their regular meeting last Friday night in favor of the proposition to the form¬ ation of a city of Freeport, Baldwin and Roosevelt. He stated that some of the territory of both Roo.sovelt and Baldwin lay within the limits of Free- port; that the new school house just completed by Freeport at Ocean and Seaman avenues, was within 1.000 feet of the Baldivin school district; that the formation of a city would bring the schools of the three districts under the
i jurisdiction of a city government; that the city, if formed, would at once have
; a poi'ulation cf over 9,00<>, which num-
; ber, owing to the increa.-ed facilities
i that would be enjoyed by all within its!
! limits, would speedily swell this num- I ^^^as. Russell, Jr.
j her to over 10,000, thereby giving jt j home of his parents all the benefits derived by cities hav¬ ing tliat population. Mr. Payne also -'^''^;stMvd that 'that ^vctirm of-Ti'eepdiT
I known as Bay View would soon need
! a new school, and that should the city
! become a reality, and a school built in
I that section, it would at once supply
! tiie need of a school that would suffice
I for both the Bay View and lower Bald-
¦ win section.
I Mr. Payne also stated that a city
j govornmei.t certainly gives better sat¬ isfaction, better school facilities, bet¬ ter government, and an additional Sup¬ ervisor to the Town of Hemjistead. thereby jilacing the township in a bet¬ ter position at the meetings of the Board of Supervisors. Real estate Then would undoubtedly favor such a project, as it would enhance property valuation, as it is a known fact that a city government is a more economic form of government.
Mr. Payne stated that should the Board of Trustees think favorably of the project submitted, they could refer it to their counsel and that a public mass meeting could be held at an early date.
Mr. Payne thought the advantage accruing from being able to sell lots in outlying districts as city lots would be of benefit too, as it would increase values.
Ernest H.Wallace said he represent¬ ed the Greater Freeport Association, recenlty formed to boom "what we find by a coincidence" Mr. Payne is favor¬ ing.
Mr. Wallace was asked who was in¬ terested in the "Greater Freeport As¬ sociation" but said he would not dare say yet.
Counselor Wallace stated that he represented a large number of the px'oininent and infiuenlial residents of Freeport. Baldwin and Roosevelt, who had recently organized themselves into a Greater Freenort Association, with the ultimate view in mind of the form¬ ation of a city. Considerable investi¬ gation had recently been made by this association, and it hr.s been found that there is a strong rnosement in favor of the proposition at Roosevelt. The same condition existed at Baldwin, al¬ though a slight opposition had been found to the movement in the village, but that the organization in Baldwin, which has recently held under consid¬ eration the incorporation of that vil¬ lage, would favor the movement, while in Freeport there was strong senti¬ ment in favor of the proposition.
Counselor Wallace recite.! the in¬ stance of the formation of Rome, N. Y., as a city; that it had been com¬ posed of a numbf-r of villages, all small¬ er than Freeport, but by the formation of the city, it was now one of the lead-

The Village Board did not take very kindly to this as- irumption of autltority on the part of the company and instructed Mr. Halli¬ day to move his houses when he got ready after giving the trolley company due notice. .

Mr. Payne also -'^''^;stMvd that 'that ^vctirm of-Ti'eepdiT I known as Bay View would soon need ! a new school, and that should the city ! become a reality, and a school built in I that section, it would at once supply ! tiie need of a school that would suffice I for both the Bay View and lower Bald- ¦ win section. I Mr. Payne also stated that a city j govornmei.t certainly gives better sat¬ isfaction, better school facilities, bet¬ ter government, and an additional Sup¬ ervisor to the Town of Hemjistead. thereby jilacing the township in a bet¬ ter position at the meetings of the Board of Supervisors. Real estate Then would undoubtedly favor such a project, as it would enhance property valuation, as it is a known fact that a city government is a more economic form of government. Mr. Payne stated that should the Board of Trustees think favorably of the project submitted, they could refer it to their counsel and that a public mass meeting could be held at an early date. Mr. Payne thought the advantage accruing from being able to sell lots in outlying districts as city lots would be of benefit too, as it would increase values. Ernest H.Wallace said he represent¬ ed the Greater Freeport Association, recenlty formed to boom "what we find by a coincidence" Mr. Payne is favor¬ ing. Mr. Wallace was asked who was in¬ terested in the "Greater Freeport As¬ sociation" but said he would not dare say yet. Counselor Wallace stated that he represented a large number of the px'oininent and infiuenlial residents of Freeport. Baldwin and Roosevelt, who had recently organized themselves into a Greater Freenort Association, with the ultimate view in mind of the form¬ ation of a city. Considerable investi¬ gation had recently been made by this association, and it hr.s been found that there is a strong rnosement in favor of the proposition at Roosevelt. The same condition existed at Baldwin, al¬ though a slight opposition had been found to the movement in the village, but that the organization in Baldwin, which has recently held under consid¬ eration the incorporation of that vil¬ lage, would favor the movement, while in Freeport there was strong senti¬ ment in favor of the proposition. Counselor Wallace recite.! the in¬ stance of the formation of Rome, N.

The Village Board did not take very kindly to this as- irumption of autltority on the part of the company and instructed Mr. Halli¬ day to move his houses when he got ready after giving the trolley company due notice. .
