An early target of thesrcomplaints was housing conditions in a southeiut area neighborhood where resi dential and commercial buildings were closely intermingled. The civics had grown concerned over what were becoming known as \stoms in.the Bennington Park area along East Sunrise Highway, and the north side of Merrick Road, from-Henry Street to Liberty Avenue. Tenants were paying dearly for the use of run-down houses, which some absentee landloMs subdivided to accommodate roomers, meanwhile letting the structures deteriorate ihiserably. The State, with village cooperation, launched a cramdown. Naturally if families had to move but. there would be .need for new living quarters. So after a favorable vole by the people. Federal aid for a low income housing-project was granted. Mayor William F,, Glacken named Cord Viebrock chairman of the local Housing Authority. Viebrock resigned from the Village Trustee post he had held for eight years and immediately took charge of the urban renewal job which included, among other duties, finding proper use of the land which would be free for new purposes. Through pur chase, or by condemnation proceedings which allowed a fair price, the Authority acquired an apartment house site and handled applications from displaced persons. Ground was broken in August for Nassau County’s earliest Federal housing project on East Merrick Road between Buffalo and Albany Avenues, a three-stoiy, fireproof, multi-family apartment house con taining too units. In return for each of those units the village was obligated to demolish one substandard dwelling. (Continued next week.) Wantagh. The nfarriage was performed' by the Rector, the Rev. John A.

A Weekend Of Beethoven 1947 (TheLeader) MEISTER BEACH REZOSED FOR VETERANS'S HOMES Thirty'nine one family homes for veterans should be under way in the Meister Beach area within a few weeks as a result of the Village Board's having rezoned all the area except Lester Avenue to allow erection of homes on plots 50 by 80 feet.
