At tite meeting laat Thursday after¬ noon, s commanication was received from Roland M. Lamb, on behalf of tha Freeport Lodge of Elks, asking permission to put 4 lamps in front of the Clnb House, corner Grove Straat and Merrick Road.
In his communication ha said: "Would the Tillage famish the current free of charge, as is done in other cases in tbe village, we believe."
Mr. Lamb was misinformed regard* ing the price for these lights. The Villsge does not famish them free, with the exception of some lights in the Bayview section, which are oper¬ ated in place of the larger lamps, snd which, it ia thought, it is the intention of the Village Board to cut out, as soon as the larger   lampa   can  be  in-

Special School
Meeting Tonict
The meeting tonight at the Grove Street School House will be one of special importance to the village of Freeport, for upon the result will de¬ pend the growth of thc village, to a certain extent. We have not made any argument in favor of any of the sites under consideration, but would urge oor readers to be present and take an active part in the meeting.
Fojr sites are sabmitted for consid¬ eration, namely:
No. 1, In connection with the pres¬ ent Grove Street property.
No. 3, Corner Bav View Ave. and Pine Street.
No. 4, Randall Ave., from Wallace Street to Bergen Place.
No. 6, Northeast section, corner Col¬ umbus Ave. and Orchard Street.
The alternate propositions. No. 2, 6 and 7, provide for the building of schools upon the various sites. It is important that we have the schools, but the more important proposition at the present time is to decide upon the sites for the buildings.    The   proposi

WHY NO LIGHT?
Freeport, N. Y.,
Sept. 23, 1918.
Editor Naasau County Review. Dear Sir:—
Will you, if possible, tell me through the columns of your Public Welfare interested paper, why the arc lamp was removed from the corner of Bedell and Archer Streets and allowed to re¬ main off two or three weeks and has not been placed as yet? I underatand it was taken away to be repaired. If such is the case it must have been pretty badly broken up.
An accident happened at this corner this evening and ha<J it been a very serious one, persons giving aid would have been greatly handicapped on ac¬ count of their being no light; not only in case of accident is thia light need¬ ed, but my mother and sister dare not John's, New Brunawiik, and made { venture to the village after  sundown.
Tbe Review has engaged M. J. Brown to write series of letters for this paper, the first two of which ap¬ pear below. Mr. Brown writes os that the series will include descriptions of Death Valley, desert life, the mummy caves of Arizona, cliff builders cave dwellers' rains, the Moqais, their strange customs and weird rites; old Mexico fnr back from the railroads (if the country is half safe); ranger life, the cow land, sun worshipers, Indian pueblos, and many other unknown corners of our unknown southwest, and he closes by writing "And I'll make 'em good." They will be foil of ham¬ an interest, with a punch l>ehind them.

That Charch St. Deed
In the last few weeks considerable has been said about the lot occupied by Wide Awake Engine Company, comer Pine and Cburch Streets, title to whzch is held by the Village of Freeport.
In our last issue an item appeared on tbis subject, and tbe editor wrote George Wallace for information re- garding this, he haviog been one of tbe trustees of tbe Temperance order to which tlie property was sold. Mr. Wallace's reply is pablisbed herewith, showing, as our item stated, that the deed has not been filed, but the Village ot Freeport owna the property: DearSir:—
Your letter at hand. The deed re¬ ferred to was given to George W. Ber¬ gen, Nelson Smith snd myself as tms¬ tees, if memory serves me aright. It was afterwards used in a law suit con¬ ceraing Freeport Cemetery l^nd. I do not know where it is at tiiis moment bat it is doubtless in one of my safes.
As trustees we f si led to pay the taxes and Um property was sold at tax sale to James Dean. My impression is that he afterwards deeded it to the village. Toors truly,

is excessive and unfair to the proper development of this section."
The complainant prays that an order be issued by the Public Service Com¬ mission, directing the Long Island Railroad Company to reduce its rate of fare between Freeport and the Brooklyn and New York terminals of the railroad as follows: For return fare for one passenger from Freeport to Flatbush Avenue, 90 cents, and from Freeport to the Pennsylvania Station and retarn, $1. These rates, Mr. George contends, are fair and rea¬ sonable.
Ex-Juatice Elvin N. Edwards, of the flrm of Edwards A Levy, attorneys for Mr. George, discussed the case with a Times reporter this morning.
"We do not believe that the Long Island Railroad had in mind any pur¬ pose to hurt Freeport, but to help Wreck Lead and Long Beach," said Justice Edwards. "We do not believe they would bave directed it being es¬ tablished had they foretold the result. Aa a matter of fact, hundreds of peo¬ ple to reach the waters of tfae beaches go by way of Wreck Lead, because they can save 26 cents by doing so. This deprives Freeport of the benefit thst accrues to it from tbe influx of these people. Tfae fares being equal, the people wonld prefer to go to Free- port and reach the fishing g^unds.

After his ordination he was assigned to the Church of St Mary's Star of tbe Sea, on Court Street. While there his health failed him, and he was granted a leave of absence by Bishop McDonnell. Upon his retarn he was assigned to tbe Church of the Immac¬ ulate Conception, on Leonard Street.
When the parish of the Holy Re¬ deemer was formed at Freeport from the parish at Hempstead, he was as¬ signed as the first resident rector. Since assuming charge he has built two churches, the first a temporary atructure, and the second the present house of worship, which is one of the finest on the Island.
The funeral will take place on Mon¬ day next, Sept. 30, at the church at 11 o'clock, and will be preceded by the singing of the divine office of the dead by the priests of the diocese. The celebrant of the maaa will be Rev. Thomaa O'Brien, of Whitestone, L. I., a classmate of Father Logue; Rev. William B. Farrell, of the Church of Sts. Peter and Paul Deacon, and Rev. D. J.

A Public Servant.
We would be pleaaed to publish any information from the Village Board regarding this, but a communication would undoubtedly be referred to the Electric Light Committee. The posi¬ tion of the Village Board at present is this. They have ordered a number of lights, and when these are received ad¬ ditions will be made. We are unable to tell when thia will be, but there seems to be aome delay somewhere in the abipment of the lamps. It is very improbable that the Board intends leaving the light off of thia corner, and there ia no doubt but that it haa been removed only temporarily.-^

Freeport Golfers Win at Massapequa
A team of eight golfera from Free- port defeated a picked team represent¬ ing Maasapequa here on Saturday af¬ ternoon.

In each instance a point was given for winning the first round, a point for the second round and a point for the match.    The final score was 11 to 9.
The teams played as follows:

F. H. S. Football
Practice
Under the tutelage of Dwyer Jones, well known as one of tfae gauds on tbe Colgate team up to last year, a squad of students of tfae Freeport High School are training daily for tbe forth¬ coming football season. Tbe new coach is sanguine as to the outlook for his charges, but admits that the play¬ ers are exceptionally light and may be handicapped when they meet some of the larger scbools with whom games have been scheduled. Tbe youngsters have shown rather remarkable speed daring their early practices, however, and it may be that Freeport will intro¬ duce a new game of football before tbe season is over in which speed will be the feature.
At the cloae of tfae school last spring there was every indication that Free- port High School would have little material for the team this fall.

And here's anotber look backward— ihis time to the cliff dwellers, and there is evidence there were hvjindreds and perhaps thousands of years be¬ tween the caveate rains and the cliff builders. But the cliff men dug their bomes out of etemal stone and their ruins yet stand. Many of them are in splendid preservation.
And now one more jump backward —and then a guess. And by that time you will tbink any guesi safe.
Moat ancient of all   indications of a forgotten paat  and  people  are   the cave dwellers' rains.    No doubt these people lived long   before  the   age  of fire.    There   is   no   connection   with tbem and the cliff mefl.    Tbere are no • Tromas R. Morgan evidences of civilization.

My guess is they were Jobn China- Ihen, just plain pig-tail, rat eating Ching Lees and Wi Tings, and they came from China thousands of years ago, and that the Tolteca, the Aztecs, tbe Incfls and Mayas are their descend¬ ants.
