designate the official paper and lix the advertising rate at nol exceejing 7.'i cents a folio, and that in view of this provision and of the further fact that Freeport has two papers, it was only lair in his opinion to give each paper a chance to secure the appointment hy making bids. Jhi^ suggestion met with the approval of the Board and the nev»spapers were asked to submit rates at which they would do the official advertising and local publication for, at the next Board meeting. They did so. The Post was the lowest bidder and upon liallot be¬ ing taken, secured three out of live vote.s and was designated tbe village paper.
The .Nassau County Review is in   no position to   complain.     Ever   since   it was started many    years   ago.   it   has been the oliicial paper and    ha I   about of   hII the village work.     Here in   Hemp¬ stead, each of the three papers in    the village receives a part.     The Inquirer has never been designated the    village paper.     To our point of view, it    is   a good   thing   to   pass   this     patronage around.
