STREET SIGNS TO COME UNDER NEW VILLAGE RULING Trustees Refuse More Permits While Ordinance Is Be- ing Prepared The regulation of Rockville Centre's street signs, the type suspended over the sidewalks from the buildings of the various rperchants, will follow the pussing of an. ordinance now being prepured by. representatives of the village board. The decision' to pass-such an ordin- lune: follows the discovery by thelvibl; lage board thai a move. will necessary . to infernal-d the -village from the erection of unsightly signs that protrude far over the sidewalk. Although the board has standing on its minutes a motion refusing to grant permiasien to erect more signs in the village it waa the legal view of Coun- melor Hooley that the village could not successfully prevent erection of sina until the pmzsage of the new ordin- ance, Mz. Hooley says that a court would no ddubt decide that preventing the erection of signs without an or- dinanee would be discriminating. Representatives | of | busingss men planning peared e erection of signs | ap- “n the biz-fr! at its last meeting. u ig refused per- mission to nursm axsailed the ac-| tion of the bord claiming that they were being discriminated against after| having gone to the expense of having the signs board! did not change its orig« khan but decided in all fairness | that an ordinance regulating not only | the slgna: to be erected but those al- ready in existence should be passed, -| Thit many of the signs already erected -will have to\ be changed to| meet the requirements of the village ontinance seems Hkely. { The committer in JIM]! or dinanee will hold \Mt with Counselor Hooley [a draft new regulations. .

Take for in- stance a play in the fifth inning, when Gardner of Baldwin hit a fast one out past center field. Gundersdorf, the left fielder of the South Side team, grabbed the ball and made a perfect | throw to second base, where Finnan completed the play perfectly and caught the runner three feet off the) hag, - That was good baseball, and] was only one example of the snappy | plays which were pulled off. | The seore by innings: | South Side T6 5 0 4 5 5-82 Baldwin o 0 0 0 0 0 0- 0 This comivig Sacurday the South Side team meets its old vival, Law. rence Hig School, on the diamond at Lawrence. .
