From the N. Y. Herald March 19, 1907
Freport is probably the most pro¬ gressive village on Long Island. Its residents are alert and the growth of the place in a decade has been very ex- i tensive. Its main street, south of the ' railroad, is a bu.sy mart of trade. A : trolley line that runs from Mineola to, Brooklyn passes through the. heart ofi Freeport. I
Situated near the railroad station is the Freeport Club, occupying a mod- j ern club house, which it owns. Its i membership is 250. |
An organization that has greatly heljied the growth of Freejiort in re¬ cent years is the Freeport Board of Trade. It has jiersistently advertised in various ways the advantages of the village as an all the year place of resi¬ dence. Alonzo Foster is president of the Board and William P. Jones its vice-president.
As many as two hundred an'i fifty dwellings were built in P'reejiort dur¬ ing 1906 and fifty per cent more were erected there in 190.'>, when the boom throughout Long Island was in its ear¬ lier stages.
There is practically no acreage for sale ill the corporate limits of Free- port.
An idea of land values in the place may be gained from the fact that a lot 2r)x73, on the north side of .Merrick Road, near Main street, was recently sold at $5,000, or $200 a foot.
Ocean Avenue is the finest residenial thoro hgfare in Freeport. It extends from Merrick Road south to the bay, is almost one mile long and is built uji the entire distance with fine detached houses with broad lawns. Some of them are occupied only in the summer months and many are occupied through¬ out the year. These structures range in value from $8,000 to   $20,000   each.
Lot values in Ocean Avenue range from $35 to $50 a front foot.
Property on Main Street, the bnsi- ess section of Freeport, is closely held, and there is practically none of it on the market.
Immediately north of Freejiort, and connected with it by trolley, is Rco.se- velt, formerly known as Greenwich Point. More than fifty houses were built there during 1906.
So extensive has its growth become that a new schoolhouse, to cost $20,- 000, is now being built. The place has stores, a jxist office and churches. Municipal improvements, however, have not yet been installed.
Acreage in Roosevelt ranges in val¬ ue from $1,500 to $2,000 an acre.
Being one and a quarter miles from Freejiort, Roosevelt is seven minutes distant from it by trolley.

THE HIPPODROME
Elaborate preparations are now be¬ ing made at the New York Hijipo- drome by Messrs. Shubert & Anderson to celebrate the second anniversary of the opening of the big playhouse, on Friday evening, April 12. The high jinks will commence immediately af¬ ter the evening p<»rformance and will continue presumably throughout the night. A sweeping invitation that will include practically every member of the theatricial profession now play¬ ing in New York, will be issued, and it is expected that the immenserimdi- torioum will be fillled with profession¬ al Jieople and the friends of the mem¬ bers of the Hippodrome Company. A number of prominent artists appearing at the different Shubert theatres have volunteered to take part in the enter¬ tainment, which will be designed pri- marilv   for   the   benefit   of   the   hard-

Tickets for adults, 25 cents; for children, 15 cents.
Great credit is due the firemen for their excellent work at the fire Tues¬ day morning, which al one time threat¬ ened to carry away the entire block. The alarm was sounde<l shorlly before 6 a. rn., and although the firemen re¬ sjionded in very short order, the fire had gained such headway that t was soon seen that it would be imjiossible to save the large factory of the Rockville Cen¬ tre Milling Comjiany at Banks Avenue and the railroad, which was discovered on fire at an early hour. The old Lotz saw mill adjoining was also destroyed and it was only by very hard work that the adjoining building and Pinkham's lumber yard was saved. The loss will exceed $7,000, partially covered by in- .surance.     It   is   believed   fhat the fire
a*strong factor in procuring necessary improvements in every .section of the town, and one that could discuss and carefully consider any and every prop¬ osition that might be jire.sented, and thus give the general jiulilic the bene¬ lits of their careful consideration as to the advisability of whether or not any propositions should or should not be sujijMirted.
It was finally decided to make this a jiermanent organization, to be known as the Allied Board of Trade of the Town of Hempstead, and the following committee was ajijiointed to draft a set of By-Laws and Constitution : Mr. Havens of Lnybrook, Mr. Rope of Baldwin, Mr. Smilh of Hemjistead, Mr. Edwards of Freeport, Mr. Taylor of Ocean Side, and Mr. Davis of Rock¬ ville Centre.
