South Bergen Zoning
Change Proves Sharp
Controversial Issue
Board Room is Riled
For Hearing Monday;
One Project Withdrawn
Hearings on two Freeport propos-ed
zoning changes resulted in pro-tracted
debates at the semi-monthly
meeting of the Village Board Mon-day
night, while no one spoke con-cerning
two others and a fifth was
withdrawn for redrafting. The hear-ings
attracted a capacity crowd.
The first of the controversial pro-posals
was that relating to the re-boning
of both sides of South Ber-gen
place for its full length from
Sunrise Highway to Merrick road
and the south side of Merrick road
from (South Ocean avenue to the
west boundary of the Elks* property
from Apartment to Business "B."
This was instigated in a petition
for the change signed by Edward J.
Moore, Cornelius Freeman, Walter
J. Miranda, Bay Clements, Dr. Mor-ns
B. Green, Harry C. Dikeman,
Louis Koch as executor of the
estate of Mary Koch, Nellie F. Davi-son,
Stella Foreman and C. Milton
Foreman. They requested a Busi-ness
"Ai^zoning, but the committee
on zoningbf the Planning Commis-sion
comprising George Maislih,
Trustee Seward J. Baker and Wil-liam
E. Crevoiserat reduced it to
[Business "B" in submitting the mat- . _ • » _ - . . **
tlearil 'first; £*atrtc1c*H. Sullivan ap-peared
as counsel for Mr. Clements
and Mr. Miranda who recently pur-chased
the Hansen property on Ber-gen
place adjoining Che Library,
announcing at the time the build-ing
was to be converted into a pro-fessional
building.
Edmund LurnJey, jr., said many
uses were premisslble under a
Business "B" zoning he would not
want" to see conducted on South
Bergen place. He pointed to the
Post Office, the Preeport Memorial
Library and the new office build-ing
at South Ocean avenue as en-hancing
the . area. He called the
Library a cultural centre visited by
children, and said he would not
want certain forms of business
detrimental to such an area to come
in. Creation of a Business "B" dis-trict
he contended gave too wide an
opening-that-might result in chang-ing
the character of the neighbor-hood.
He added that those asking
the change has not Indicated to
v/hat use they desired to put the
property. - - ^—-

Baptist Men's Club
Hears Veteran Talk
Work on Submarine
In Pacific Described
At Spaghetti Dinner
Prank Perozzl, of the Bronx, who
spent three years aboard a United
States submarine preying on Jap-anese
shipping in the Pacific during
World War II, gave an interesting
talk at the monthly meeting of the
Men's Club of the First- Baptist
Church .Friday night in the church
basement.
It was also the occasion of the
annual spaghetti dinner prepared by
Chief Chef Joseph N. Grosso, a past
president, and his assistants and
drew a record attendance for the
season.
Program Chairman William F.
Strunk introduced the speaker. Mr.
Perozzi said submarines operated
in packs of four or five spread out
about 100 miles, seeking especially
, . f 5 y , • - ' .
ply ships, with- 4helr protecting
naval vessels. He said that so effec-tive
were the Allies in attacking
these convoys that usually the only
ships to arrive at their destination
were the destroyers. These were not
attacked because of the danger of
the submarines revealing their lo-cations
because of having to rise
too near the surface.
Sank 30 Vessels
Mr. Perozzi said the submarine
aboard which he served sank more
than 30 Japanese vessels, the prize
being a transport with 10,000 Jap-anese
troops aboard. He told of how
•three submarines made their way
through mine fields into Cameron
Bay, in the Indo-Chinese sea, to
attatk the Japanese fleet known to
be assembled there. However, nets
around the ships,. prevented all
torpedoes from reaching.their marks
and the —under-sea craft had to
make their escape, which they did.
On another occasion when art attack
was made on a recently commis-sioned
Japanese "bat tie wagon" of
the -latest type, the presence of the
submarines was discovered and a
smoke screen-thrown around the
Vessel_ so the engagement had to
be broken off.

At Unity's Meeting
Other Officials Speak
To Members of Party
At Exempt Fire Hall
Mayor Robert L. Doxsee and other
members of the Preeport village ad-ministration
gave a report on-mat-ters
of current interest at a regular
meeting of the Unity party, held in
Exempt Firemen's Hall, North Long
Beach and Brooklyn Avenues, on
Thursday evening.
Introduced by Unity's president,
Dr. G. A. Newton, Mayor Doxsee
said: "The business of government
is everybody's business, and I wish
that every group in the village
would take the time to inform it-self
as to the details of local af-"
fairs. They are run, I can assure you,
with meticulous care, and with con-stand
attention to seeing that the
taxpayer gets a full dollar of value
for every dollar Jie pays. Our village
is big 'business. We have one of .the
finest municipal electrical power
plants in the country, and one of the
largest operated by diesel engines.
Like all big businesses, your big
business has its problems. The use
of electricity is increasing beyond
belief. Every day new gadgets are
being invented. It seems. gvery few

"Three years ago we added one big
new engine to our plant 'equipment.
To meet the increased demands, we
have Just installed another. Its cost
is about $750,000. It should have been
in operation by now, but the oper-ations
in Korea have ^delayed the
delivery of essential materials. It
should, however, be In full opera-,
tion by June-i-half a year later than
we expected. By the time it is in
operation, we, will probably have to
provide for another, to keep up with
the increasing demands. In addl-
