Mayor Wants Only One
Big Department Store;
Club Praises Officials
Mayor WlUlam F. Olacken came
out In favor of putting a stop to the
construction of apartment houses In
Preeport In his talk at the Exchange
Club Village Officials' Day at the
weekly luncheon In the Elks club­house,
Wednesday. May 19.
The Mayor asserted he did not
wont Preeport to become another
Hemp-stend or Forest Hills, He .naid
Freeport had 20 apartment houses
with an assessed valuation of $2,,-
033,000; that these buildings which
house 703 families net but $38,000 in
taxes or $50.84 a family a year to
the village. Tlie 703 families, he con­tinued,
have 228 children, whom It
costs $300 each annually to educate
in the local schools, yet school taxes
total but $54,000, against an educa­tion
cost of $66,000, leaving $13,000
for other taxpayers to make up. A
moderate home assessed at $8,000
would yield twice as much to the
school district, he added.
Mayor Glacken said he was look­ing
into the matter seriously "Wc
