Enck re- ported at the first fall meeting Tues- day night in the Elks clubhouse. Early in May, seals containing the message \Be Happy You Can See,' were mailed to hundreds of homes and .business concerns in Preeport In response the club received con- tributions ranging fixxm one and two dollars to five, 10 and 25. When the club suspended activities beginning in July, net receipts amounted to $837, since which money has contin- ued to come in even during Septem- ber and $53 has been added making the total to date as indicated. Jeff Paris, who headed the cam- paign committee, said the money on hand would enable to club's sight conservation committee of which Julius Posner, -the optomitrist, is chairman, to do much more for the needy who have trouble with their eyes, than it has in the past. Mr. Parts suggested bha/t some who had intended to make contributions to the fund had neglected to do so. He aded additional checks would still be welcome. Announcement was made that Mr. and Mrs. Niles Welsh, representing the Brooklyn Home for the Blind, would address a meeting to \be held Tuesday night, September 23, at 7 o'clock in the Elks clubhouse. Under a new set-up the commit- tees have been divided into gorups j headed 'by club officers. First Vice- president William Hesse is in charge of membership, Americanism and auditing; second 'Vice-president Wil- liam Barnyard of entertainment, youth and United Nations; Third vice-president Paris of program, civ- ics , and •., sight, .conservation and ' O'Shaughnessy Collie Missing Since Sunday Tom O'Shaughnessy of 214 Bedell street is \searching for a white fe- male Collie with sable markings which has been,, missing since Sun- day night when the puppy got out of the yard with a male Collie which the family also owns. The male returned Monday^but no trace of the female has been found at -last reports. The missing pet is the favorite of Susan, Mr. O'Shaugh- nessy's three-year-old daughter, who will be broken-hearted if the dog cannot be found.

They are to draw the plans for the Million Dollar 100- family development In the area. At its weekly meeting in the Mu- nicipal Building Monday night, an- nouncement was made that the in- itial Installment of $4,000 had been received from the Federal Govern- ment, and it was voted to purchase equipment for the office to be lo- cated at II West Sunrise Highway. The office will be opened shortly with Thomas M* Cann, manager for the project in charge. Various proposed sites were con- sidered and a definite recommenda- tion is expected to be made to the Federal • housing: authorities within a/^coupJo weelcs. Olialrman. Jolui M, Woerner presided at the meeting. For Two Crossings (Continued from Page 1) straight traffic, south, right -turn.\ The recommendation was adopted. At Broadway and North Colum- bus avenue he recommended that \Full Stop\ signs be placed at all intersections, and that a center line be painted on all streets leading to the corner. He also proposed that a triangular traffic circle be painted in the space at the intersection of the three streets. Hubbell Challenges Plan Stewart M. Hubbell, ciyic chair- man of the North East Civic Asso- ciation, insisted he did not see the necessity of having a stop sign placed at the north side of Broad- way where practically all drivers make right-hand turns. Chief Elar replied that this was 'true, but the majority traveled so fast they were carried into the other lane, making the turn hazardous. It finally was decided to delay action until the matter could be acted on at the meeting of the Northeast Associa- tion Friday night. It was voted to issue a capital note in'the amount of $7,500 to fi- nance the construction Of a storage and accessories building and garage adjoining the Freeport Memorial Library to house the Bookmobile to be installed later this month and to relieve the demands for space at the library. Superintendent of Buildings Wll- bert F. DeMott in ^fcis report of operations for August, announced 13 permits issued for new buildings estimated to cost $198,725 and 21 for additions and alterations involving $41,900, making a total of $240,625. Village Clerk Edmund T. Ches- hire reported that the improvements made in the street at Broadway and North Columbus avenue have exceeded the $1,000 capital note issued to finance the project by $1-41,35. Ip was voted to_ meet this deft cl tl£rbnL JbudJB«etary_f t unds,\ Mayor Robert L. Doxsee remarked that the county authorities had done most of the work so ttie village had gotten out of the project very cheaply. A request for sidewalks on Park avenue, between Merrick road and Sigmund street, and in Sigmund street in the vicinity of the new Bayview Avenue School was made to the Board. It was explained that to avoid having their children go along West Merrick road, many parents instructed them to go down •Park avenue into Sigmund street and then into the school by the rear entrance. However, because of the lack of sidewalks and the muddy condition create^ on rainy days, the children have 'to go into the streets, creating another danger that is sought to avoid on Merrick road, it was said. Mayor Doxsee promised to have the matter investigated. Nuisance Not Abated Edward Carle advised the Board members thait promises made by the owner of the Smith Chemical Com- pany on Hampton place had not been kept and there had been no improvements in the conditions at the plant. Mayor Doxsee ordered Superintendent of Buildings De- Mott to investigate conditions im- mediately, remarking that he was \sick -and tired of the procrastina- tions\ of the owner. He promised to crack down on him if Mr. De Mott's report warranted. Treadwell Hi Hopkins appealed to the Board to have the zoning of the east side of South avenue from Hamilton to Suffolk streets chang- ed from factory to residential. He explained that property \located .be- tween . two homes had been pur- chased as a factory site. Village Counsel Martin H. Weyrauch re- marked that Mr. Hopkins -had sug- gested some time ago that a new type of .district be created, limit- ing the areas\ outside of residential zones to businesses connected with the marine Industry. He explained no amendments would be made to the Comprehensive Zoning Ordin- ance until after the revised muni- cipal ordinances have been adopted as the zoning map has been brought up to date and should not be am- ended at this time. A study of the situation was promised. It was decided to advance the first October meeting to Monday tthe 6th as the regular meeting day will be observed as Columbus Day.

Berkowitz, 21^ North Ocean avenue, 'Friday night. In the complaint it was contended tanks were being operated all hours of the night, Sundays and holi- days, that some people had sold their homes in the area and others •were contemplating doing so be- cause of the noise created. It also was asserted that when the Village [Board ceded the land to the State as the site for an Armory the unit was a Military Police Battalion, but that before the building was occu- pied the battalion was coyertedjnto the Tank group.
