Dear* Uncle:—
Here in Freeport, N. Y., your nephews and nfeces are very proud
of you at 160, but a little puzzled at the very high horse yon are rid-ing
so complacently; hence this letter really leads up to a question.
Wc might as well tell you what it is before you even start to read
our affectionate message:—Are we fifty times as difficult to govern
as in 1916?
In 1916 it cost to operate your (OUR) government
$734:056,000
Then came World War No. 1 and perhaps unavoidably the cost jumped
to billions. Here they are for 1919
$18,522,895,000
Wise nephews and nieces being then in your household, the high
figures of war were soon brought down to a fairly reasonable peace
level. In 1926 your (OUR; government costs had dropped, without
loss of efficiency to
$3,584,988,000
This brings us against the fact that with no war, no larger terri-tory
in 1936, but because of the idea of your nephews-ln-Iaw (not kin
to the folks of 1787) that you must manage the affairs of every one of

Freeport has a population of
24,657, Police Chief Elar re-ported
to the Village Board at
its meeting .Friday night. The
chief explained, his men had
taken the census in conjunc-tion
with the annual dog cen-sus.
He did not attempt to
go Into derails as to the number
of mem and women and chil-dren
there were to make .up
the total, saying merely the
police had a card for each per-son
listed in the census.
The 24.657 total represents an
increase of approximately 4.600
over the Federal Census of 1940,
when the% total was slightly in

Now look back to 1916. You will find that the year of peace cost you

About 250 attended. Mrs.
Herbert Bond, president of the

evening and Mrs.. Stephen Zipoy,
Founders' Day chairman, the rest
of the time.
Dr. Boardman pointed out that
since 1905 when admission to tine
Jamaica Normal School was limited
to residents of Greater New York,
Long Island had been without local
facilities lor the training of teach-ers,
He explained this was due
to the failure of local interests to
opposition of institutions of learn-ing
in the city that feared com-petition
from Long Island.
He told of the need of a teachers
college, pointing out many who de-sired
to take up teaching could not
afford to go to New Paltz and
other up-State teachers' colleges
Dr. Boardman also expressed the
opinion it would be better to con-tinue
present education plans, in
preference to spending: hugh sums
on a State university.
The Rev. R. G. Harris, president
of the Freeport Inter-Faith Clergy
Council gave the invocation. 'Su-perintendent
of Schools John > W.

its record and Mr. and Mrs. Cqrtis

use of the land as a parking field.
This broke up the field, and was
one of the reasons the Village
Board agreed to the sale also. At
the same time the property was
put back on the tax rolls. Negotia-tions
for the sale of other plots,
also at profits, are pending.
The Home Rule Party, as now
constituted, has indirectly taken n
elap -at the Village in one of its
platform planks which reads:
"Development of parking fields
and water front consistent with
Village needs and empjuitic opposi-
[UaKi to sale ot lands to private)
interests without a public hearing."
Another plank reads: "No bond
Issue without a referendum except
when it i£ mandatory to install
trunk, line sewers."
This refers to the order of the
State Department of Health for
the Village to Install sewers In the
southern areas. It was learned
from the Sewer Commission this
week plans lor these sewers have
not received final approval and It
is doubtful if bids would be re-ceived
If they were advertised.
Another plank refers to propor-tional
representa-Won, but the others
are similar to those of the Unity
Party which is running Mayor
Cyril C. Ryan, Trustees Horace F.
Carpenter, Joseph H. Gallo and
Leonard D. B. Smith and -Judge
Hubert R, Johnson for re-election.
