Other Area Pro-posals.
Residents of the northeast sec-tion
have won their nght against
(he proposal to establish an apart-ment
house area at Grand avenue,
Babylon turnpike. The Planning
Commission, headed by Robert E.
Patterson, in its report to the
Village Board, disapproved of the
proposed change. The area now
is in^an "A" and "B" residence
district.
The commission, however, ap^
proved of most of the other pro-
'poaala- -on which hearings were
held on August 11. Several alter-
!]atidns are proposed in the plans
for tKe" re?Zoning of Merrick road

to the new plan the

would be extended to a point

at Ocean avenue.
Regarding Merrick road where
It wag proposed to change the

to Bayview avenue, It is now sug-gested
that it be extended to
"Washington street, on both sides
of the road, from where there
would be a Residence B district
westward to the Baldwin line.
^ The Planning commission also
suggests an extension of the area
.known as the, old_ golf grounds

ably led many to postpone going
to the registry places as only 779
persons registered. There was not
much improvement on Saturday
when 1.126 were enrolled.
Compare these ngures with 3,-
173 and 2,910 for the Arst.Friday
and Saturday of registration, re-spectively,-
last-ycar?
Tomorrow and Saturday are the
last two days the citizens of this
village will have to register- for
November 4. The places of reg-
Utry will be open tomorrow from
10 a. m, to 10 p. m., and on Sat-urday
from 7 al m? to 10 p. m.
A year ago the total registra-tion
for the vlvllage was 11,621,
with 2,687 enrolling the third day
and 2,851 on the Anal for 5,538
the last two days. -To reach ..th
ngure 9,716 would have to regis-ter
in two days. Of course this
is not Presidential year, but it is
a very important year from a
local standpoint,"-so every voter
should get the Idea out: of his
Se^M'^
end hie himself to his regular
polling place to qualify to vote
on November 4.
The comparative ngures for the
nrst two days of registration in
1940 and 1941 are as follows:
Merchants Welcome
High School Band
The weekly parade of the High
School band -do.%n__Main sircct,_lo
the Municipal Stadium for the Red
Devils'' football game is music to
the ears of the merchants, and weL-comed
by every one of them.
Reports have reached the busi-ness
men down the street that this
is not the case. In fact, they have
heard word Is being spread about
that they dislike the Idea of the
band blaring Its way to the foot-ball
games.
"I cannot imagine where such
reports had their origin," said John
D. Easterlin, president of the Free-port
Chamber of Commerce. "I
have canvassed all the merchants
and I cannot find one who objects
to the band parading to the Sta-dium.
I'th'ihk'lt Is A "&ood adver-tisement
for the village and so do
all my neighbors. So I hope that
if any other persons have heard
these rumors they will discredit
them at once. We would like to
know where they originated,"

at the last moment,
Mr. Vought said he represented
six of those who were being prose-cuted
and urged that some means
be found to have khe survey made.
If this Was done, he added, his
duty would have been, performed.
Village Counsel Samuel,'M. Levy
said the health authorities were
going about the matter in the
wrong way. He maintained that^tf
the Nassau health authorities would
apply to the State Department of
Health to order such a survey^ and
the state adopted thi procedure,
the village would have to provide
the funds, regardless of budgetary
limitations.
Forcing U&e Issue.
Mr. Vought conceded that the
Oounty authorities were intent on
having sewers constructed "so have
threatened prosecution with the
hope of forcing the issue." He said
also that the health authorities had
['carefully laid this prosecution." T!t"
finally/ was Decided to take the ]2

had been eliminated from the bud-get,
and suggested that the mat-ter
be held in abeyance until the
village election next March, point-
Ing out that a special election
would cost the taxpayers $2,000.
"If it is your opinion that the
situation Is so critical that the
making of the survey cannot be * *
delayed - until after - a referendum
is held or the item included in
next year's budget," he continued,
"the only legal method by which, v-the
