Village Treasurer Wallace R. Post is getting busy on hia annual report to the Village Board of Trustees. Mr. Post finds his time so fully occupied that he is unable to accept a renomina-
, tion as village treasurer at the coming
; village primary.
Freeport people are hoping for the time when the all day electric service will be installed. The present board of village trustees has planned so the current can be kept running continual¬ ly about July 1, but of courae it re¬ mains for the next village board to fix the day.
"Everybody" will be out to the pri¬ mary next Friday night by the Peo¬ ple's Party, when nominations will bc Ji^^de for president, two truatees, treasurer and collector of taxes. The polls will tie open from 4 to 8 o'clock, at the truck house of Excelsior Hook and Ladder Company, Chruch Street. Anyone who can vote at a village elec¬ tion is entitled to vote at this Pri¬ mary.
The matter of giving the South Shore Traction Company a franchise thru Brooklyn Avenue is intereating our people considerably, and the hearing on March 1 will probably be largely at¬ tended. There ia a atrong sentiment in favor of having the trolley run through some central route when pass¬ ing through Freeport, and the conipany aaka for Brooklyn Avenue, but the resi¬ denta of that atreet are unanimously opposed to it paaaing their doors.
The Brooklyn Timea announces "John D. Gunning will not pull out" of the conteat for village president. Quite true: he couldn't if he would. He promist to accept the office if nominat¬ ed and elected and he is out to win. If any of our readers don't happen to per¬ aonally be acquainted wtih Mr. (Run¬ ning they have our word for it that he is worthy and well qualified for the ofliice.
Names so far mentioned for the office of trustee are Fred Ortell, Wm. H. Patterson, Edward B. Thompson and Archer B. Wallace.
D. Frank Seaman is a candidate for office of tax collector again this year.
Next Tuesday being a holiday, this office will be closed all day.
Freeport Council Jr. O. U. A. M., had a big time Friday evening at its meeting. The guests of the evening were National Representative Thos. H. ! Walters and National Secretary Wood of Philadelphia, Pa., D. S. C. Robert Lfightfoot and Paat D. S. C. Tunison ! of Brooklyn. A delegation was also j present from Brooklyn. A large at-1 tendance greeted the visitors, and all; were well pleased with the speeches ¦ and speakers. D. N. C. Walters spoke ! well of the local Council, which he said ! he had heard Sfioken of frequently in ' hia home city.

Village Trustees
A specia) meeting of the Village Board of Trusteea was held Tuesday evening for the purpose of talking over matters which are to come up at the regular meeting this Friday evening for I action. It was decided that the water '. and light plants are now on such apay- 1 ing basis that it is intended to lower the water rates and also to lower the ' minimum ratea on the electric current. Owing to the fact that day current will be established about the first of June it waa deemed not advisable to make a I cut in the general light rate until it was learned how the day current would pay.
A sinking fund of $7,500 will be es¬ tablished for the electric lights and $6,000 for the water out of the earn¬ ings of the past year.
The following cut in water rates is according to a schedule made up for the Friday evening meeting. First faucet ;n a house, from $8 to $7; ad¬ ditional faucets cut out; each water closet, $3 to $2; urinals cut out; 1 hose bib for lawn sprinkling if the house ia not supplied with water, $8 to $7; if house is supplie<l with water, $,'i to $3; each additional one $4 to $3; private stables with not more than three stalls, $3 to $2; extra horses, each, $1.50 to $1 ; livery stables with not more than 6 stalls, $10; not more than 9 stalls, $15 to $12; each atlditional, $1.50 to $1.
In the meter rates the minimum is to remain at $8 for a dwelling where not more than 26,666 gallons are used but in excess of that number the con¬ sumer will be charged 20 cents per 1000 gallons. The cut in the meter rates in that of the large coiii^umers is as fofiows: In excess of 36,666 gal¬ lons, 20 to 18 cents; 50,000 gallona, 20 to 17 cents; 60,000 gallons, 20 to 16 ; cents; 100,000 gallons, 20 to 15 cents and over 250,000 up to 1,000,000 gal¬ lons, 16 to 14 cents.
The annual primary of the People's Party is called for next Friilay night at Excelsior Hook and Ladder Com¬ pany's truck house. The polls will be
' open from 4 to 8 o'clock. Every voter ia entitled to cast a ballot at this; pri-
¦ .mary.

Post is getting busy on hia annual report to the Village Board of Trustees. Mr. Post finds his time so fully occupied that he is unable to accept a renomina- , tion as village treasurer at the coming ; village primary. Freeport people are hoping for the time when the all day electric service will be installed. The present board of village trustees has planned so the current can be kept running continual¬ ly about July 1, but of courae it re¬ mains for the next village board to fix the day. "Everybody" will be out to the pri¬ mary next Friday night by the Peo¬ ple's Party, when nominations will bc Ji^^de for president, two truatees, treasurer and collector of taxes. The polls will tie open from 4 to 8 o'clock, at the truck house of Excelsior Hook and Ladder Company, Chruch Street. Anyone who can vote at a village elec¬ tion is entitled to vote at this Pri¬ mary. The matter of giving the South Shore Traction Company a franchise thru Brooklyn Avenue is intereating our people considerably, and the hearing on March 1 will probably be largely at¬ tended. There ia a atrong sentiment in favor of having the trolley run through some central route when pass¬ ing through Freeport, and the conipany aaka for Brooklyn Avenue, but the resi¬ denta of that atreet are unanimously opposed to it paaaing their doors. The Brooklyn Timea announces "John D. Gunning will not pull out" of the conteat for village president. Quite true: he couldn't if he would. He promist to accept the office if nominat¬ ed and elected and he is out to win. If any of our readers don't happen to per¬ aonally be acquainted wtih Mr. (Run¬ ning they have our word for it that he is worthy and well qualified for the ofliice. Names so far mentioned for the office of trustee are Fred Ortell, Wm. H. Patterson, Edward B. Thompson and Archer B. Wallace. D. Frank Seaman is a candidate for office of tax collector again this year. Next Tuesday being a holiday, this office will be closed all day. Freeport Council Jr. O. U. A. M., had a big time Friday evening at its meeting. The guests of the evening were National Representative Thos. H. ! Walters and National Secretary Wood of Philadelphia, Pa., D. S. C. Robert Lfightfoot and Paat D. S. C. Tunison ! of Brooklyn. A delegation was also j present from Brooklyn. A large at-1 tendance greeted the visitors, and all; were well pleased with the speeches ¦ and speakers. D. N. C. Walters spoke ! well of the local Council, which he said ! he had heard Sfioken of frequently in ' hia home city.

Village Trustees A specia) meeting of the Village Board of Trusteea was held Tuesday evening for the purpose of talking over matters which are to come up at the regular meeting this Friday evening for I action. It was decided that the water '. and light plants are now on such apay- 1 ing basis that it is intended to lower the water rates and also to lower the ' minimum ratea on the electric current. Owing to the fact that day current will be established about the first of June it waa deemed not advisable to make a I cut in the general light rate until it was learned how the day current would pay. A sinking fund of $7,500 will be es¬ tablished for the electric lights and $6,000 for the water out of the earn¬ ings of the past year. The following cut in water rates is according to a schedule made up for the Friday evening meeting. First faucet ;n a house, from $8 to $7; ad¬ ditional faucets cut out; each water closet, $3 to $2; urinals cut out; 1 hose bib for lawn sprinkling if the house ia not supplied with water, $8 to $7; if house is supplie |
