that the village receives ten per eent. on all unpaid taxes. The law allows the village to borrow on these taxes and money can be borrowed at 5 or 6 per cent, until the taxes are paid and it certainly does not seem to be bad bosiness to borrow money at 6 per cent, to ofTeet outstanding debts run¬ ning at 10 per cent.

In regard to your note in the Review about moving picture shows and prizes given out, I would like to aay that no complaints have been received and in aa much aa practically the same courae waa puisued under the administration of my predecessor, Mr. Cox, I have re¬ frained from interfering at all. I shall, however, be glad to receive any honest complaints and give them my aincere attention.
This is just as we expected. When ever you and I are enuf interested to do our part. President Lamb will do his. In the meantime, there is no blame on Mr. Lamb, but rather on our citizenship if nothing is done.

OUGHT TO HAVE A PLAYGROUND I note that in the Village of Hunt¬ ington, August Heckscher of that vil¬ lage has given to the village aix acres of ground for a baseball ground, ten¬ nis court and general playground.
We are now waiting for some wealthy philanthropic gentleman to make a similar donation in the Village of Freeport. There are several sites in the village, close to the trolley lines, which could be used for auch a playground, and I do not know of any better way a man with the necessary funds could provide a memorial for himself than by making such a dona¬ tion for the young people of the vil¬ lage.
To be sure we have a pnblic park on East Merrick Road on which we are paying a rental of $750 a year, and whicb we are not using at all. More will be heard of this later, but the fact remains we still need a playground, and the person who provides it will win the everlasting gratitude of a large number of our local people.
St. Paul's School second team by score of 13 to 6. Officially, football in the High School had been suspend¬ ed, but a few of the boys wished to play, 80 obtained permission trom Principal Arthur to play the St. Pool's seconds.

In the aecond quarter a neat forward pass. Baker to Kelley, brought another touchdown. Cutler kicked the goal, making the score 13 to 0 in favor of Freeport.

AKK SCHOOL CALLS WISE? The writer has been questioned re¬ garding the wisdom of special calls for our schools. To the best of my knowl¬ edge this ia nut generally practiced, the theory being that a call of this kind is bound tu frighten the parenta uf the children in school, where if a call for that section was given, possi¬ bly that corner, only a small percent¬ age would connect the two. Nothing could make our Department respond- quicker than it doea except paid men, 80 there is not that in ita favor. The unly thing ia, firemen know exactly where tu respond without communi¬ cating with their headquarters, or with "Ontral, " enabling them to reach the scene (juicker, but thia does not apply to apparatus where the ex¬ act location la known anyway before leaving the house. Apparently there is much tu both sides.
