The patrol- man then told how, with the abuse of him still continuing, \as Charles reached toward his rear pocket; Alionao jumped lor my gun. My gun was level with my hip and I didn't raise my hand at all.\ Asked aoout the second shot he fired which pierced Joseph's fiiioukler and wounded Alfonso so - that he died. some.hours later, Ro- meika~ said this bullet was dis- cUarged~lrnmeciiately after the first.

Mr. Mcdloskcy Moves to Acquire 2 GI Pre-Fabricated Homes Proposed in Gro ve St Area Hearing Called for August 9th to Consider Zone Change—Other Zoning Matters A hearing has bjeen called by the Village .Board for Friday night, Aug. 9, on a proposal lo amend the zoning along Grove St!. south of the Freeport Yacht Club, so as to permit veterans lo creel asserted players nhp used the risked tn_eir limbs In doing so; pre-fabricatcd homes in the The district included extends from the Woodcleft basin to the north side of Layton st., and, Irom South Grove st., on the west to Hudson ave., and probably wduld provide room for 75 homes. Though lots in the area are 20 by 100 feet, it is proposed to re- quire that the plots on which the veterans' homes could be erected be limited to minimum of 50 by 100. The only easing of the build- Ing restrictions would be that re- ducing the required footage from 800 to 700 square foot for a house. The Board proposes to permit In- dividual G.I.'s to purchase building lots in the section and select the types pi buUdinga. Jfljejr jiesire Irom fa brlca ted~houses. Cost of Homes Reduced John J. Randall ownes most of the property in the district and he has agreed with representatives of the Vetreana' Agency to sell lots to former servicemen at a reason- able figure. As the houses can be erected at from $6.100 to $6.900 each, a veteran should be able to establish a home ai a cost of from $6.850 to $7,650 instead of from $10,000 to $12,000 the amount they would have to pay for some of the buildings, now under construction and have a better building 1 in the bargain. The plan was submitted to the Board at Its meeting Friday night by Judge Hubert R. Johnson, who investigated the matter at the re- quest of Mayor Cyril C. Ryan. However, Asa A. Trenchard, chair- man of the Freeport Veterans' Service and other veterans who have been studying the situation for several months were understood (Continued on Page 7) tt^^^^r<^S^W4l^^ Board Considers Requiring Licenses For Restaurants Instructs Counsel To Draft Ordinance; White's Suggestion At the suggestion of Al B.

He reported that three or four places were being estab- lished monthly some of which are not a credit to the village. If restaurants were licensed, he explained, and it was found ad- visable to revoke the permit, the liquor license also would be auto- matically canceled and could not be renewed. He said the situation was serious and demanded hasty action. Mr. White added Freeport was the only large village In Nas- sau Gounty that does not require restaurants to be licensed. Mayor Cyril C.
