SALUTING FLAG AT SCHOOL.
One of my readers kindly called my attention to the matter of saluting our flag at the public scbools. She said that she waa under tbe impression that it was part of the chapel exercises, and that as but a small portion of tbe pupils attended these exercises in the school, proper attention wad not being paid to this matter.
I was glad to have this matter called to my attention, in order that I might find out and set my reader right, and any others who might have had similar ideas. I am informed by Prof. Moon that aside from whatever chapel exer cises may be held, the salute to the flag is given regularly in all the schools, a stated time being fixed for this, on certain days of each week.
MOVING PICTURE LICENSE.
I note that wbile Freeport has just removed the license, practically, for moving picture shows doing a regular business in the village. Hempstead has adopted an ordinance making the price $60 for 6 months and $100 for a year, and will not give any license for less than tbe 6 months' price.
The license of the moving picture shows in New York is but $25 per year. 	
I A LECTURE ON WOMAN. |
Invitations  have been   issued  for a' lecture on "Evolution of Woman,"   to be held in Brooklyn Hall next Monday afternoon.   The invitations do not bear the signature of any person.
With the invitations are sent tickets which read "Admission by ticket only." The invitation sent us did not include a ticket, so they evidently as¬ sumed we would get in on "our nerve."
IF WE CAN HELP! Lest you forget. I am at my office about all the time during the day, and shall be glad to have you call me up for any desired information about vill¬ age or general affaira, and if I have not the answer at hand, I will be pleased to get it for you, if at all prac¬ tical. 	
! INCREASED TAX RATE.
Our village tax rate this year will be higher than it was last year. Ac- [ cording to the report of the Village (Treasurer, on Feb. 28, the village had incurred debts of over $3000 which have not been paid, and when the new 1 Boajrd took hold they found several ! thouBand dollars more due, without the money in the proper funds to pay these. President Cox took the stand that it was not legal to transfer money from one fund to another, to pay these bills, 1 and Counselor Swezey, to whom the matter was referred for an opinion, said that Mr. Cox Was right. During the past two years over $11,000 had been transferred to pay bills, the mon¬ ey being taken from, the earnings of the water and light plant and not re¬ funded, according to the report of the accountant, published in a recent issue of our paper.
j President Cox was determined that this should not continue, and tbe full' Amount of unpaid bills will be included in a separate item and put into budget of taxes to be paid this year. This' will make the tax higher, but will | clear off the old indebtedness, and put i the village on a good working basis, I and in position to pay its debts from { the funds from which they should be | paid. I
The Village Board last year was I handicapped by the people voting' against a proposition to put any money j in tbe street light fund, and resorted. to the seemingly necessary expedient of transferring money from other funds, and to other funds which were ' reduced because of'the limitations oe- j cessary in order to secure money for street lighting, bat this year tbere is'. money enoagh in the street lighting 1 fund, the people having voted in favor' of tbat this year, and it will be well to | have the entire matter straightened out as President Cox and the Village • Board proposes.     *
I was pleased to receive a post  card 1 from F. A. Myrick, who, with his wife and Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Forbes,   is on an auto trip for   a  couple   of   weeks. Tbe postal was from Lake Hopatcong.

Villag:e Trustees
All the members of the Board wera preaent at the meeting Thursday afte¬ moon.
President Cox asked to be recorded as voting against tbe approval of tbe minutes of the last meeting giving the Recreation Park Commisaion "author- o ity to collect and disburse funda for improvement of Hanse Park.'' He took the stand tbat the Board should not delegate such authority to a private organization.
The following list of special ofiicers presented by Captain Dunbar was ap¬ proved : A. J. Cronley, K E. Rider Walter B. Cozzens, Seaman Golder, Bertram Seaman, Areber B. Wallace, Wm. S. Merrill; also Wm. Bentley as special watchman at Lewis H. Ross Co.
Dr. Wm. H. Rancie complained that tb.« srade.of troUey on GjKiye.Street *ll,r«. Merrick Road seemed   too   high;   the Board took tbe matter under consider¬ ation.
Police Captain Dunbar appeared and askt tbe Board for information as to tbe southerly line of the village, where it passes soutb of Woodcleft Inn. He called attention to two maps on the walls in the village oifice, one of whicb shows the line running 100 feet further south than tbe otber. Tbe newer map brings Gere's bathing beach in the vill¬ age, and the older one outside, and the police department wanted to know whether this beach was under their authority or not.
Mr. Malcomson, of Smith & Malcom¬ son, said it was a case of mis-plotting on the old map, which had been discov¬ ered by them and corrected when a re- survey was made abuul two years ago.
Captain Dunbar askt if he should go ahead and act on the revised map, and President Cox said that they should not do sq until another survey was made to see which line was right. No action was taken.
A communication was received from the Fire Council recommending that the house for Hose Company No. 4 be placed in the Village Park at the Pow¬ er House. This seemed satisfactory to the Board, and the Fire Council is to submit plans to the Village Board when ready.
Chief Loonam asked authorization of the Board to place a large gong now in the house of Truck No. 1 to the front of the house, to be used for fire alarms. As soon as a fire alarm is sent to telephone headquarters and connection is made with No. 400 this gong will ring, even before tbe tele¬ phone is answered at the power house. A resolution was passed making the necessary contract.
Chief Loonam also submitted a re¬ quisition for supplies which was sub¬ mitted to the supply committee with power.
A communication was received from C. J. and J. M. Reitmeyer. proprietors of the Plaza, asking that the gutter in front of their moving picture place on Grove Street be repaired. "This re¬ pairing is already under consideration, with the general repair of Grove St., and no action was taken.
Mrs. B. Trubenback complained of the conditions existing on South Grove Street, where the trolley line has been laid, and askt what prospect there was of obtaining relief. She was informed that Mr. Hitchcock, who operates the village roller, had been ill, which had delayed.matters. She said it was up to the village Board to give her aatis¬ faction, and sbe demanded that some¬ thing be done at once She said the trolley company had done its work well, but tbe sides of the road were not fixt to grade and it was impossible to drive into her yard in an auto. No action was taken.
A roatine report from Lineman Har¬ ry A. Walling as to condition of elec¬ tric lines was received and filed.
The bond of W. Van Wicklen. for $6000. on accoant of contract for lay¬ ing water pipes, was accepted with Frank M. Smith and Jacob Post aa sureties.
The Committee on Power House was directed to prepare plans and specifica¬ tions for cement fioor at the power house, in place of the preaent old wooden floor.
Just after tbe meeting adjourned Mrs. Trabenback filed and presented a written demand for the repairing of Grove Street as noted. She was di¬ rected to file the' complaint with the Village Clerk.
