Miller in the Corn- , mercial Hotel Building, and by the i timu tbe Hlarrn wa- uiven, the Ine i had gone up the rear of the building to j the roof, hetween the partitioiis, so ; that when the firemen arrived the lire ; had spread through the attic over the j rooms of the C<irriinerciBl Hotel, under j which are the jewelry store, the Lonn '. Island ('otTee Mills, a shoe shining, "parlor" and the dinning rooms and barroom of theCoTirnercial Hotel, all in one building, of framt construction. |

F'reeport. N. Y.. Jan. 19, 1916. To tbe Editor   f   the   Nassau   County
Review. Dear Sir:—
Won't yoo be kind enough to al'iow me a little space in your representa¬ tive paper to say a few worda in favor 1 of our fire department. The fire on Janaary 18 that for a time threatened tbe Marine Hotel building was tht,. first opportunity I had to see the boys in action and I must confess I was amazed to aee business men, profes¬ sional men andall other members work as   if   their very   esti.'tence   depended
the ; being settled it is anticipated that all I will be paid up before the action I comes to suit.
