Sale of Seals Nets
•Substantial Sum For
Conservation Project
The Lions Club campaign to raise
funds with which to carry on its
sight conservation project netted
$890, President Everett R. Enck re-ported
at the first fall meeting Tues-day
night in the Elks clubhouse.
Early in May, seals containing the
message "Be Happy You Can See,'
were mailed to hundreds of homes
and .business concerns in Preeport
In response the club received con-tributions
ranging fixxm one and two
dollars to five, 10 and 25. When the
club suspended activities beginning
in July, net receipts amounted to
$837, since which money has contin-ued
to come in even during Septem-ber
and $53 has been added making
the total to date as indicated.
Jeff Paris, who headed the cam-paign
committee, said the money on
hand would enable to club's sight
conservation committee of which
Julius Posner, -the optomitrist, is
chairman, to do much more for the
needy who have trouble with their
eyes, than it has in the past. Mr.
Parts suggested bha/t some who had
intended to make contributions to
the fund had neglected to do so.
He aded additional checks would
still be welcome.
Announcement was made that Mr.
and Mrs. Niles Welsh, representing
the Brooklyn Home for the Blind,
would address a meeting to "be held
Tuesday night, September 23, at 7
o'clock in the Elks clubhouse.

Housing Project
Architects Named
Manhattan Company
To Draft the Plans;
Vote to Fit Office
Fellhelmer,, Wagner and Vollmer
of Manhattan have been selected as
architects by the Preeport Housing
Authority for the Bennlngton Park
housing project its became known
this week. They are to draw the
plans for the Million Dollar 100-
family development In the area.
At its weekly meeting in the Mu-nicipal
Building Monday night, an-nouncement
was made that the in-itial
Installment of $4,000 had been
received from the Federal Govern-ment,
and it was voted to purchase
equipment for the office to be lo-cated
at II West Sunrise Highway.
The office will be opened shortly
with Thomas M* Cann, manager
for the project in charge.
Various proposed sites were con-sidered
and a definite recommenda-tion
is expected to be made to the
Federal • housing: authorities within

straight traffic, south, right -turn."
The recommendation was adopted.
At Broadway and North Colum-bus
avenue he recommended that
"Full Stop" signs be placed at all
intersections, and that a center line
be painted on all streets leading to
the corner. He also proposed that a
triangular traffic circle be painted
in the space at the intersection of
the three streets.
Hubbell Challenges Plan
Stewart M. Hubbell, ciyic chair-man
of the North East Civic Asso-ciation,
insisted he did not see the
necessity of having a stop sign
placed at the north side of Broad-way
where practically all drivers
make right-hand turns. Chief Elar
replied that this was 'true, but the
majority traveled so fast they were
carried into the other lane, making
the turn hazardous. It finally was
decided to delay action until the
matter could be acted on at the
meeting of the Northeast Associa-tion
Friday night.
It was voted to issue a capital
note in'the amount of $7,500 to fi-nance
the construction Of a storage
and accessories building and garage
adjoining the Freeport Memorial
Library to house the Bookmobile to
be installed later this month and
to relieve the demands for space at
the library.
Superintendent of Buildings Wll-bert
F. DeMott in ^fcis report of
operations for August, announced
13 permits issued for new buildings
estimated to cost $198,725 and 21 for
additions and alterations involving
$41,900, making a total of $240,625.
Village Clerk Edmund T. Ches-hire
reported that the improvements
made in the street at Broadway
and North Columbus avenue have
exceeded the $1,000 capital note
issued to finance the project by
$1-41,35. Ip was voted to_ meet this
deft cl tl£rbnL JbudJB«etary_tf unds," Mayor
Robert L. Doxsee remarked that
the county authorities had done
most of the work so ttie village had
gotten out of the project very
cheaply.
A request for sidewalks on Park
avenue, between Merrick road and
Sigmund street, and in Sigmund
street in the vicinity of the new
Bayview Avenue School was made
to the Board. It was explained that
to avoid having their children go
along West Merrick road, many
parents instructed them to go down
•Park avenue into Sigmund street
and then into the school by the
rear entrance. However, because of
the lack of sidewalks and the muddy
condition create^ on rainy days, the
children have 'to go into the streets,
creating another danger that is
sought to avoid on Merrick road, it
was said. Mayor Doxsee promised
to have the matter investigated.
Nuisance Not Abated
Edward Carle advised the Board
members thait promises made by the
owner of the Smith Chemical Com-pany
on Hampton place had not
been kept and there had been no
improvements in the conditions at
the plant. Mayor Doxsee ordered
Superintendent of Buildings De-
Mott to investigate conditions im-mediately,
remarking that he was
"sick -and tired of the procrastina-tions"
of the owner. He promised to
crack down on him if Mr. De Mott's
report warranted.
Treadwell Hi Hopkins appealed to
the Board to have the zoning of
the east side of South avenue from
Hamilton to Suffolk streets chang-ed
from factory to residential. He
explained that property "located .be-tween
. two homes had been pur-chased
as a factory site. Village
Counsel Martin H. Weyrauch re-marked
that Mr. Hopkins -had sug-gested
some time ago that a new
type of .district be created, limit-ing
the areas" outside of residential
zones to businesses connected with
the marine Industry. He explained
no amendments would be made to
the Comprehensive Zoning Ordin-ance
until after the revised muni-cipal
ordinances have been adopted
as the zoning map has been brought
up to date and should not be am-ended
at this time. A study of the
situation was promised.
It was decided to advance the
first October meeting to Monday
tthe 6th as the regular meeting day
will be observed as Columbus Day.

tanks were being operated all hours

that some people had sold
their homes in the area and others
•were contemplating doing so be-cause
of the noise created. It also
was asserted that when the Village

was a Military Police Battalion, but
that before the building was occu-pied
the battalion was coyertedjnto

The Mayor attributed the delay to
the prolonged strike of the steel
