at. t h e f a i l u r e of Kreepori merchants to support the
D i v i s i o n ' s Christmas p r o m o t i o n .
.Mr. r-Yeilich said the M e r c h a n t s Division worked out a plan
w i t h w h i t - l i he regarded as <i conservative Inidjret for l i j r h t i n ^

Failure of the merchants as a
whole, to support the program, how-ever,
resulted in only about 50 per
cent of the budget being raised. As
a result very little was left for ad-vertising
after paying for the street
lightuig, Mr. Preilich said.
"While there are more than 400
merchants in the Village of Free-port
only a minority supported the
program on a pro rata basis," Mr.
FreJLch declared. "As usual the
whole burden fell on the shoulders
of an active, interested group of
foot, sidewalk on each side.
A set back of 5 feet from the
nar of the sidewalk will be required
in front of business property and
20 feet where residential property
fronts on the* street.

map. A map showing hew property
will be affected by the widening wa.s
