Appreciates Our Training Class
The following item regarding the Freeport Training Class needs no ex¬ planation :
Albany, N. Y., December 21, 191.'). Mr. W. B. Cozzerw,
President Board of Education, Freeport, N. Y. Dear Sir: --
Did you not promise throagh your attorney, al a previous meeting of the ; Town Board, to pay the expenses of this election, and if so, have you done anything to make thia promise bind- -. ing, or have you any intention of do- ' ing so? In other words, ia it not a! tact that you have not the slightest' idea of paying the expenes of this i special election called for your benefit? '
Is there anything in the proposed I lease that requires you to allow heavy; trucks to go over this new boulevard, i hut rather ia it not true that you will! NOT allow heavy trucks to go over it, I and that conae<iuently it will be just 1 as necessary for the Town or County I to maintain a road to the beach as it • was before? |
Consequently, is it not a fact that ! the only possible benetit to the town is j the rental of $400 per year, and would not $10,000 per year he a very modest ' price for what you are asking, consid- | ering what you expect to derive from ' the investment? i
la it not a fact that after thia "lease" ! is signed you can run a trolley to the ' beach with the consent of a majority | of the members of the Town Board, i without any remuneration whatever to ' the lown, for a franchise which will | be worth thousands of dollars?
What ia the real reaaon for a strip \ 300 feet wide, when you are only us- ] ing 100 feet of it?
While you aay that reafdents of the town can ase the road witihout any cost! have you made the slightest suggestion

Several    important     aubjtcts   were
(brought up for dis;ussion, one   of   the
I most important by John S. Sumner, who made a motion that the new In¬ coming boerd be directed to appoint a committee to conaider tbe possibilities ol' building a gymnaaiuni. The build¬ ing is to be built on a smaller schle than wua originally planned. Some three or four yeara ago thia proposi tion was lirat brought before the mem-
¦ bers The proposition at that lime waa "Shall the Club raise an a;)pro priation not tt) t-xceed the ainount of «Ml,ll(IO to be used in the building of a gymnasium? ' This was put before the inembers to vote upon and was piTsaed by a large majority. Two of the members (Imth archiitcta) g'ot to¬ gether, drew up plans for the building and gave then to the Club; but they were found to be, although beautiful, on too elaborate a scale to be built for the ainount appropriated: they in¬ cluded a swimming tank, shower baths, etc. After several members hu! giv¬ en their views on the aubject the mo¬ tion waa seconded.
Thia building would ik) doubt place the Club under a heavy rwaponsibility for the preaent,    but in   a   few   years

Neighborhood Workers
Christmas Work
The Neighborbood Workers are very appreciative of the ready asaiatance their many friends gave them in their effort to make the last holiday aeason a happy time for all of Freeport.
To 147 children the huge red stock¬ ings were presented. These were filled with gifts for both uae and pleasure. Besides these considerable money was donated for the express purpose of buying warm clothing for these who needed it, and, because the merchants cut the prices in half, the money bought many garments. The munici¬ pal Christmas tree and decorations so kindly given by the members of the village Board and Mr. Frederick, was very attractive and was enjoyed by everyone.
In reviewing^^their work tin Monday the loth, their first regular meeting since the holidays, the Neighborhood Workers felt that the results amply repaid all their effort.
Among the activities in prospect is the sewing clasa for younif children, which is to hold its first meeting next Saturdsy, the 15th, in the kindergar¬ ten room of the Grove Street School Tbis wll be under tbe immediate sup¬ ervision of Mrs. Scholey, assisted by volunteers.
