Local Topics
Some .-ountry papers are still coun¬ try papers. 'The leading item on the first column of the editorial page of the Smithtown Messenger this week reads:    ,
"Orders for fresh eggs recei vet I at this office."
The Amityville Record reports the annual dinner last week of the Suffolk County Board of Trade and adds: "De¬ lays iiystarting made the afternoon too short for the speeches that had been prepared."
Too bad that wasn't known before the tickets were sold.
I see (fte of the Brooklyn papers ad¬ vertises itself a.s "the paper without an enemy." What a small factor it must be I A paper which does not make any enemies does not do much good.
I have been repeatedly askt as to the tiue standing of the case of Dr. Evans who is complaining about his treat¬ ment by Dr. Carman as heallli uiucer and by the peo|ile of Freeport in gen- eral^according to the city papers.
Dr. Carman, he has made a good health ofllcer I am informed hy reputa¬ ble unbiased physicians, who are in the best position to know. The health of the village is surely a strong argu¬ ment in his favor, as it must be in some part due to the work of the Board of Health thru its principal ocffier.
The hearing before the acting State Health Commissioner did not seem a fair one to me. I surely thought they were coming down here on the sewer question, as they advertised they were coming down on a matter of public health, instead of which they then took the whole day or what there was left of it, when they finally arrived in taking testimony produced by Dr. Ev¬ ans on his complaint.
Dr. Carman says he was not given due notice of this meeting and had no chance to give proper consideration to it when it came up.
Tunnel Opening Celebration
The vicinity ot the railroad depot was a pretty sight Thursday morning when the exercises under ausiiices of the Board of Trade were held celebrat¬ ing the opening of the new tunnel.
The entire school attendance of about 1000 pupils, with flags waving in the air, was an insi)iration to all who w«re thei-e, as they sang patriotic selections.
The train scherluled to arrive at 8:45 was right on time but the crowd was looking for something differ¬ ent, and did not recognize it, and kc'|it looking evidently for a decorateil or an ^electric train, instead of which tliis was just the iilain undecorated artiele. Which lijought out the lirst passengers from the great new tunnel, after hav¬ ing been transferred* from the electric train at Jamaica.
.'\fter the train had^passed President .Monzo Fo.ster of the Board of Trade introduced John D. Gunning, our Vil¬ lage President, who made an appropri¬ ate address, which wo hope to be iih\6 to publish in our next issue ; Rev. I). ; A. Jordan, Rev. Charles Herbert' Scholey, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, Siirnuel R. Smith, president of the Bank of Long Island, Rev. Pelhani St. George Iriissell of tho Episcopal Church, Rev. W. A. Richard of the M. E. Church, Wiiiiam S. Hall, cashier of the F'reeport Bank, and others.
Assemblyman William G. Miller was introduced but owing to inrfisposition did not speak. He was greeted witii three rousing cheers.
Interspersing the spe6ches the Freo¬ port F'nterprise Band furnished n>u.^ic and the school children sang ".Amer¬ ica" and "Star Spangled Banner."
