meeting of his officers and directors
who unanimously approved the ap­pointment
of a committee to appear
before the Freeport Village board.
This committee is to petition that
the Village authorities start such
procedures as are nece.s.wry to have
a professional organization make a
further study of the Orban Plan and
submit their recommendations at an
early date.
It Is the expressed feeling of many
of the businessmen and property
owners, that these reports are the
first complete study of tills eastern
Freeport area that warrants serious
consideration. This Urban Plan with
such practical modifications as are
necessary should be a part of a
master plan for the entire com­munity.
