The time for village election is drawing near, and some general in¬ formation regarding the election law may be of interest to our readers, and is published herewith.
In the village of Freeport, in the past, informal primaries have been held by interesti-d citi?eriS, and candi¬ dates for officers designated. Desig¬ nations have had no legal standing un¬ til a petition with the names of a cer- Police Headquarters by persons oc tain number of signers had been filed cupying summer residences, which are with the Village Clerk.

There is no proviaion in   either   the lage or election law   requiring   reg-
men, which would coat more than our entire village tax does at presrnt, to protect the village so that we could reasonably expect protection against thieves.

Showing that there is no telling at what lime the call to duty of the vol¬ unteer firemen will come, the firemen were twice called out Monday of this week, and again on Wednesday making four times in February, where before thHt there had L.een but one alarm in nearly s. ven months.
At 12:-lii p m. Monday call 34 sum¬ moned the department to lhe corner of Lena and O.-ean Avenues, but when they arrived, they could find no trace of any fire, or of any one who had sent in the alarm. An attempt to obtain in¬ formation from the telephone operator waa futile, atul it looked like a fiil.-e alarm when an enplnyeeof George Y. Patterson came out and said he had sent the call. That he hud seen sparks from a bonfire set fire to aome leaves umler the fence separating the yards of .Mr. Patterson and ,1. W.
