One Citizen Appears
At Public Hearing On
Village Ordinances
3-Year Re-Codification
Is Virtually Complete;
Soon to Be Published
The public Bearing on the enact-ment
of a new and comprehensive
set of ordinances for the Village of
Freeport attracted only two or three
citizens Monday night despite the
wide advertising and publicity it
received.
Only one citizen raised a question
about the provisions of the re-codified
ordinances. Roger E. Chev-alier,
who is associated with his
fattier, J. Roger Chevalier, in the
Holroy Sign Company at 80 East
Sunrise Highway, made a number
of suggestions about the provisions
dealing with the erection of signs.
After presenting his recommenda-tions
it was agreed that he should
have a conference with Superin-tendent
of Buildings Wilbert IP. De-
Mott to see if certain changes can
be agreed upon before the ordin-ances
are published in their final
form.
Before the hearing opened Mayor
Robert- L—Doxsee-said-that-thrce
years ago Village Counsel Martin
H. Weyr^uch pointed out that the
village ordinances over $ long period
of years; during-whicMr*maJiy~aa-

ayiayor Doxsee said - he believed
the Village of Freeport has done a
pioneer job in re-codifying its or-dinances
which many municipalities
probably will emulate.
Mr. Weyrauch explained that
some help was obtained from four
associate counsels on certain phases
of the task, but that he had done
most of the work himself over a
three-year period. He also pointed
out th atmany hearings have been

As Digging Begins
Cost Will Be Higher
Despite Larger Crop,
S\ ays Market Service
, (Special to The Leader) ' X
IDAHO FALLS, Ida., Oct. 2—
Long Islanders who like their Idaho
potatoes in preference to the Long
Island product must be prepared to
pay a record price for them this
year despite a record crop. Federal
State Market News Service reports
here place the price at from $3.15
to $3.25 per hundred pound sack
washed 'U.S. No. Is, 1 7/8-inch min-
.mucn, cash at track as compared
to $2.60 to $2.65 a year ago. In ten-pound
sacks the cost is $4.10 to
$4.20, master containers, .,$4.35 to
$4.40, and 50-pound sacks, $3.25 to
$3.35. And there is no government
price support to boost the cost to
these figures which will be much
higher before the Russet spuds get
onto the table.
The U. S. Department of Agricul-ture
estimates the 1952 yield to
reach an all-time mark of 43,300,-
