Carman Jr., New Village Deputy Mayor
Most significant change at the Incorporated Village of Farm-ingdale's

Deputy Mayor for the coming year. Carman replaces Norman

was brought about so that the position might be rotated and
give other Board members the opportunity they deserve for their
well done jobs as trustees.
Later, Trustee Carman gave a report on a housing and urban
renewal meeting which was held recently in the village by himself
and an official of that organization. Main feature was the
consideration of additional parking space on or near Main Street.
