The proposal of Mayor Clinton
M. Flint to reduce the $4,000
salary of Judge Hilbert R. John-son
was put up to a committee
of lawyers to be named by the
mayor for a recommendation at
a meeting of the Village Board
Friday night. This action was
taken on motion of Dr. Herman
C. Dunker, seconded by Horace
F. Carpenter. Mayor Flint is to
head the committee.
A month ago when the move
the judge appear berore the
board. Nothing further was heard
about the matter until Friday
night when Mr. Flint read a
prepared statement^ in which he
assumed fulf responsibility for the
efforts to cut Judge Johnson's
remuneration. He gavg as a rea-son
the fact that other villages
pay their judges less than the
local jurist is receiving.

"The matter of Judge Johnson's
salary which I wished to take up
has been deferred to a later meet,
ing at the request of my col-leagues,"
Mayor Fl'nt said. "1
wish, now, to make my position
clear.
"Judge Johnson has correctly
surmised that I am solely re-sponsible
for bringing the mat-ter
before the Board. As the
matter stands now, it seems, to
have degenerated into a personal
controversy between myself and
Judge Johnson, judging from his
present social attitude toward me
, and statements I have observed
in the papers alleged to have
"been made by him.
"This js^ indeed, 'Unfortunate.
It id* tod" bad that- any question
as to tlie relative merits or per-sonal
dif?erenccs~"oT Judge John-and
myself, whether political
_* . otherwise, should intrude
.themselves into this matter. As
this subject seems to be impor-tant
in the eyes * oj some, and
for their personal gratification, I
hasten to say that Judge John-son
is a bigger and better man
than I am, that in any political
contest between him and myself
he would so far outdistance me
that I wouldn't know that I was
in the race.
"That as a diplomat, poli-tician,
glad-hander, baby-kisser,
back-slapper and plain and fancy
soft-soaper, Judge Johnson has
it all over me. I further admit
that- 1 am stuped, • that I am. un-able
to see what purely personal
considerations of this kind have
to do .with the question whether
Judge Johnson's service* as po-lice
j[ustice are worth $4,000,

Dr. .Stoddard said it was not

will be older, wiser and mature ;

EXTRA
Freeport will have to accept
current of the Long Island Light-ing
Co., to augment that the
limited quantity of oil allowed
by the Federal authorities will
generate, the Village Board was
advised at a special meeting
Tuesday night. The exact date
the change takes effect has not
been fixed.
The meeting was held to hear
the report of Village Counsel
Henry P. Vielbig, Thomas Dunn,
manager of the Power House,
and Clinton Walling, manager of
the Light Department. They were
called to Wash ngton Monday
and advised that though a defi-nite
decision had not been
reached, the village would be al-lowed
100.000 gallons as an emer-gency
supply with approximately
UMHLJLiu^^
This is about 1,000,000 gallons
less than is required to operate
the plant for a year.
Before a final decision is
handed down, the matter will be
considered by a committee ]f
three representing as many Fed-eral
agencies. In the meantime 1
the village authorities will do
everything in their power to have
the allotment increased. Mr.
Vielbig was directed, while in
Washington, to nle a report on
what financial eRcct the change
will have on the village. He will
take this report to the capital

Vote to Select
Seaman School
Site To-morrow
1,091 Qualified
To Cast Ballots
Over Two Sites
BY THE EDITOR
One thousand and ninety-one
residents of Union Free School
District No. 9, comprising the
bulk of the area of Frceport,
have qualified to vote at the
special election tomorrow on the
choice of one of two sites for a
new building for the Seaman
avenue school to be erected after
the war. Of the total. 851 of
those registered live north of
the Long Island
south.
Voting will be conducted in
the foyer of the High School
auditorium from I P. M., to 9
P. M. Paper ballots will be used.
The two sites offered are lo-cated
at the extreme ends of the
Seaman avenue school district.
One, designated as A, is on Lena
ave., Wilson pi., and Virginia
avc., in the west. It can be ac-quired
at a cost of $20,000*
Should this site be selected a
five-year bond issue would be

Powell to Speak
On Abuse by Japs
John B\ Powell, former editor
of the Shanghai Daily Review,
who suffered the loss of both feet
because of abuses suffered while
a prisoner of the Japanese, will
speak at a dinner to be given in
the Elks club house Saturday
night. The event is sponsored by
the Frceport Inter-club Council
compris'ng the Exchange, Ki-wanis,
Lions and Business Wo-men
with the co-operation of the
Chamber of Commerce.
At 8 o'clock the entire facili-ties
of the club house will be
open to the general public. No
admission fee will be charged
those who desire to hear Mr.
Powell tell' is gripping story.
ft comprfaes about two and
half acres of the Lenker prop-erty
and eleven parcels adjoining
to the south and west. The
Board of Education estimates this
can b@ acquired for $100,000 pay-able
from the proceeds of a bond
Issue to be amortized in twenty
years.
Numerous questions have been
asked concerning the counting of
the ballots cast. There is no
problem. Voting on each of the
proposed sites will be a separate
and distinct action. Consequently
each voter should be careful to
indicate in the appropriate square
whether he or she is in favor of,
or opposed to, each of the sites,
Douglass C. Lawrence, counsel
for tKe Board of Education ex-plained.
'
After the last ballot has been
cast counting wiU-bcgin.Fi?st all-votes"
cast for or against Site A
will be.couhted; "Should "this -re*
ceiye a majority of all the votes
cast on that proposal, it will be
recored as carried. Should a ma-jority
disapprove of this site, it
will be lost.
Then ballots cast on the pro-posal
to acquire site B will be
canvassed in similar manner, to
determine whether it has been
adopted or voted down*
Should one of the sites receive
a majority vote and the other be
defcated,v.the matter would be
definitely settled. However, should
both sites receive a majority
vote, by some far stretch of the
imagination, another election
would have to be conducted In
the' near future, to decide be-tween
the two. the same would
be true M both were rejected.
Many people have asked how
they can vote without voiding
their ballots.
