Merrick Road.
The Postmaster pointed out
that the combined working floor
space of the present facilities at
Merrick Road and N. Main Street
are approximately 9000 sq,' ft.
while the- new buUding will pro?
vide 2i,000 sq. ft. of working
space. In addition, patron park­ing
will be available at the rear

regularly receive summonses for
overtime parking wiU also have
off-street parking space available
for their cars.
The question to be resolved by
Freeport residents is, if the Bay-view

where' shaU enough room

post Office of ,the necessary size
and pEOportion?

Freepori's Board of Education
has submitted its revised budget
for voter approval today, July
9th. The slightly modified budget
proposal consists of two propiisi-tions.
The first includes all regu­lar
budgetary expenses, totaling
$11,880,787.00, and the second is
a separate item of $33,720 for
transportotion of private and
parochial students attending
schools beyond the ten-mile Umit.
The proposed tax rate would be
$9,455 per $100 of assessed value-.
tion.
Regardless of voter approval,
some 82 per cent of the school
budget is mandated by stete law,
that is, must be paid by the school
district. If a district goes on an
"austeri^" budget, only certain
expenses (among them the school
lunch program, interscholastic
athletics, and new library books)
are eliminated.
