there will be a big aaving in the ex¬ pense of running the plant, when the oil is substituted. The price of eil is now running at about 3.2c per gallon, which he is positive is cheaper than coal at the prices paid here.
Any aaving in expense of operation must be small in this plant, except for the cost of wheeling and unloading coal. At the present time the plant j , is run on three shifts, each fireman and engineer or operator working eight houra and no reduction in this force is being or can be considered, h.>. it would lie impossible for the man operating the burners to attend to running the electric light and water plants at the same time.
The results will be watched with in¬ terest as Mr. Mack informs us several contracts are being considered, depend¬ ing upon the results in the Freeport plant.

PREFERRED THE EXPERIENCE
Beginning with this namber the pa¬ per wiil be issued weekly instead of semi weekly. We believe it better to issue one big, good, weekly paper, just as good as we can make it, get it out on time and have it up to date in every way, than to get out two papers per week that may not be all we could de sire.—Nassau Post.
We told them that when they start¬ ed, but they had to find out from ex¬ perience, and now all is well. The time has not yet arrived when a semi- weekly paper can honestly be run in Nassau County unless some one meets the billa of expense from some other source than the receipts from the paper.
Now, here's hoping our neighbors will really get out on time and make as big an effort to get newa as they do advertising. If they cannot get their paper on time by having it done away from home we will make a standing offer to print it for them and deliver it at a regular time without fail, altho the price might be higher than they are   now being charged.
