CHAMBER BACKS FREE SPAN PLN Commerce Chamber Seeks Toll Charge Removal At Atlantic Beach A searching investigation of the finandial condition of the corpo- ration operating the Atlantic Beach toll bridge was asked to- day by the Inwood chamber of commerce as a preliminary step to obtaining legislation making the bridge a free bridge. Holding that the aura of mys- tery surrounding the corporation and its financial status must be cleared up before anything definite is attempted in the way of elim- inating tolls, the chamber of com- merce authorized a committee to confer with the Lawrence-Cedar- hurst chamber of commerce and the chamber of commerce of the Rockaways for a joint survey of the bridge situation. The author- ization was voted at a meeting last night at Mechanics hall, In- wood.

George Wolpert, executive sec- retary of the chamber of com- merce of the Rockaways, ex- pressed the opinion in a recent letter to Assemblyman Harold P. Herman that more than enough money had been cellected in tolls on the bridge since it was built in 1926 to pay for its cost and main- tenance. Assemblyman Herman sug- gested the state department of public works and the Long Island State Park commission be con- sulted. in the matter, The joint committee will attempt to arrahge a conference with those authori- tEAM SEs FAIR POLICE BLL Tells Of Efforts To Meet Critics Of Proposal In Rockvifle Talk _ METROPOLIT Ex- W Says Curbed Menus 32‘s?\ ' fiiimstodoniou. , of mburyigcflck and tired of sandwiches-and with good reason. , For two y Panayiotis M lived on .a sandwich diet-ham on e and a cup of jun—ant! he , it all on his first sight of the Brooklyn bridge.

Traveling to work every day from Brooklyn, he said, he found himself deeply moved by the sight of the Brooklyn bridge and decided that some day, somehow, he would learn to build bridges like it.

For the past two years, Panayiotis's stomach has known no warm food ex- cept tea or coffee and an oc- casional soft boiled egg.

Johnson, apparently dead for several hours, was police said, either the victim of a heart at- tack or chlorine gas fumes in the plant, where he was an employee. His body was discovered by Ed- ward McKeon, superintendent, when he came on duty at 8 a. m. this morning. Police said that there was no indication of foul play. Johnson was sprawled on the floor with his back against a radiator, Dr. John Schell was summoned, but he said that the cause of death could not be ascertained at once. Johnson, who 1; ed at 117 Bed- ford. avenue, Ereeport, had been employed in the village for about ten years. 8 ' Johnson, who was married, is survived by wife, Vivian, and a six-year-old son, Harold. He was employed in the plant as a night operator. 'ADMITS RECKLESS DRIVING John Charles Corrigan of Roose- velt pleaded guilty to a charge of reckless driving yesterday in: Bell- more court, and was fined $25 by Judge George S. Johnson.

DUE FOR VOTE AT AAC MONDAY Assembl y Calendar Packed - -With Acts Affecting Nunfiou nty CHARTER AMENDMENTS | ALSO AWAIT ACTION Herman Presses Measures To Pave Way For Change In Government As far as Nassau county is con- cerned, next week's sessions of the state assembly at Altany will be the most important sessions of this term, according to Assembly- man Harold P, Herman, who is in Nassau this week-end during an assembly recess. Besides the assembly's contro- versy with Governor Lehman over means of balanc the \million~ dollar-a-day\ state budget, the lower house will consider legisla- | tion of utmost importance to Nas- sau. Home Rule Bill Up The most important measures to be considered will be: 1. The Nassau county enabling act, or home rule bill. 2. The amendments to the | | new county charter, including . those governing the county and | village police department, tax levies, equalization of assess- ments, the county budget, and others. | 3. The Nassau dog racing bill. |_ Consideration of these measures | will complete the assembly pro- gram for Nassau county for the present term. They follow a week of intensive work, during which {several measures introduced by Mr. Herman were passed by the Iassembly. These measures, already on their way toward senate 'ap» proval, include: , 1. A bill yrovxdingL registra® | tion of voters in the Lawrence- Cedarhurst school district. | 2. A measure providing a new system of indexing of convey- ances and mortgages in the county clerk's office. 3. A bill to setle the boundary dispute between Floral Park and Stewart Manor. 4. A bill for the establistiment of a volunteer firemen's league in the town of H tead. Similar To New York Bill Of the bills coming up for ap- \ proval next week, the home rule | measure is regarded by county of- | fcials as among the most import- | ant. Similar to New York city's home rule bill, it would permit future amendments to the county charter to be passed in Nassau | county itself, without recourse to the state legistature. As' outlined in the Fearon amendment to the state constitu- | tion, the home rule bill would per- \ mit the county to amend its char« \ter in any way except to effeet \structural\ changes in the ty government. Acts which would wequire legislative and guberna- torial approval would be limited | to those abolishing or creating elective offices, affecting the veto or voting power or the rathod of changing the term | of office or salaries . of _ elected - officials, changing the form of the elective body, and creating a new form.of | county government. One other ex- ception to home rule' under this bill would consist of the granting 'of power to the governor to de- clare a state of emergency,) which, ratified by a two-thirds vote of the state legislature, would allow the legislature to take a hand in the county laws. Amy action by the lature, however, would be subject to a popular referendum in the county.

Draughtsmap Hired The demand for supervisior was made by Trustee Dick last night, after it became apparent, in a dis- cussion over a new village em- ployee, that the board's failure to mention former Village Engineer Edward S. De Beau in 'he list of Appointees Monday night was caused by adecision to eliminate permanently the engineer's posi- tion from the village rolls. A draughtsman, 't was revealed, has been hired by the village at a weekly salary of $25 to draw up plans needed for street, water and curbing work. \But he's not capable of inspect- ing that new tank or the well,\ Dick interjected, when the Nord- strom matter was being discussed. \We don't need any inspection until the jobs are finished,\ the mayor declared. \We do so,\ Dick ratorted. \We're required to make periodic reports to the surety company, and besides, we ought to know if the tank is being constructe, right.\ Silent On Hinted Resignation Mayor Nobowec then explained sewer, | [healed at the time of the village} assertion | Won't Recognize Union Ford said Wednesday he never would recognize the United Auto- mobile Workers association or any other union for collective bargain- ing.
