MAIN STREET 9 FREEPORT a hearing on a line through the Northwest ^section of the village jconducted by,, the Village • Board Thursday night. Two voiced opposi- tion while another Huid buses tend- ed to increase property values. Four alternate routes were offer- ed, all of which- provided for run- ning the vehicles along Pennsyl- vania ave. for varying distancesrto the village line, one from Wilson pi.,- another from Prince ave., and the other two from Seaman ave. However, Seward Baker, c^iIFmaiT of- the Municipal Transportation Commission insisted thaMubus-line should serve the convenience of the 'greatest number of people and \you -cannot request the people to use a side street instead of-a-main st. where there is already considerable traffic; you cannot object to a bus running only every -half— : hour- Buses have got to go somewhere where there are people.\ Mayor Cyril C. Ryan outlined the routes suggested. Four Routes Suggested ^ • The first provides for a line orig- inating in the.bus terminal, along Henry st., to Broadway, to. Brook- lyn ave., to Long Beach ave., to Prince ave., to Pennsylvania and then north to the village line, from where it would continue on to Hof- stra college out of the jurisdiction of the local authorities. be the sapie'as the first, .except that the connection from Long Beach to Pennsylvania ave, would be through Seaman ave., while still another , would carry it through Wilson pi. Anpther route, the one advocated by the Transportation Commission, would start on Railroad ave., at the -. station.-^-proceed- weBt«.-along -Rail- road ave. into Sunrise Highway to Bergen pi., then north to Brooklyn ave.,; west to Long Beach, north to Seaman, west-to Pennsylvania and then north to the Rooseyeltjirie. - Mr. Baker contended that the i convenience of this route was that people would not have to cross the tracks to get- to the buses, nerha-na flelayfid by trains on the west- bound track.- Mark Hroncich, president of the Northwest—Civic-Candidates for the office of Second Association suggested that if this route was adopted, it might be well .to continue the buses along Sunrise Highway to Bay-view ave., and then .directly into Pennsylvania aye.:: ^Opponents Y°|ce-Jientlments • ^ Frederic Spiegel and Mrs._J$K \liam H.

The 'two officials attended the meeting on instruc- tions of UIR Village-Board, the mem- bers of which visited the scene of a recent fatal accident on West Merrick rd., shortly after the trage- dy occurred. Local police and officials agreed at the tinie that the driver of one of the cars involved was unfit to drive, but after the Homicide Squad of the Nassau County Police pe- partmeut took over, he was given .a— summons, merely- charging him with driving without a license. Cites. a Typical Case 'Mr. Weyrauch spoke at some length concerning the number of acpidents that have happened in the village, several oTT which re- sulted in fatal injuries. He cited the action of the Motor Vehicle Bureau in conducting, hearings in \Hlneola\ and recited one instance in which a man riding a motorcycle, jumped the curb and struck --a pedestrian inflicting, injuries which left him permanently crippled. The operator of -the—motorcycle,^ Mr. Weyrauch continued, had Tailed to stop at a \Full Stop\ sign and was driving without a license. He was called, to Appear bet-ore the Motor'Vehicle Bureau *fh Mineola and questioned, as was \the victim of the action. \At the end of the hearing the person who committed the act was told that if he did it again the State would do something, about, it,\ vil- lage counsel remarked. Urges Letter to Albany . \Inasmuch as this is typical of the methods of the Motor Vehicle Commission,\ Mr. Weyrauch con- tinued. \it is mv belief that.
