Those of oar readers who have tbe idea that Freport has been or is stand¬ ing still will be surprised to know that there are at the present time in the village fifty houses or more under way, spread over all parts of the village, as tbe following list will show. The Woodcleft section takes the lead with the northeast section, known better as "The Bronx," in second place, al¬ though all parts of the village are rep¬ resented.

Village Plants Pay
A special meeting of the Village Board of Trustees was held Thursday aftemoon, with all the members pres¬ ent.
The principal business was the re¬ ceiving of the report of the expert ac¬ countant employed by President Cox, as instructed by the Board, to audit the acoiUits of the village for the past 2 years since the last audit.
The report is as follows:
New York, May 10, 1918. To the Board of Trustees,
Village of Freeport, N. Y. Gentlemen':—
In  accordance with your   reqaest I

This question is raised as to the ex¬ pense to the village in this line. The village is not required to furnish fire¬ men or policemen for these shows, and if they do so it is to be expected that the concem having them will pay the I expenses as has been done heretofore. j Of course in case of a disturbance re- I quiring the service of a policeman the show would be entitled to the same protection as any other business or private concem.
