.-\ communication was received, signed by ten taxpayers, asking that Peekskill gravel be placed on Roosevelt Place between Smith and Rose Sts., a distance of 400 ft. ; filed "for future consideration."
Trustee Sigmond moved that Archer St. be fixed with Peekskill gravel, from .Main St.,   to Bay  View  Avenue.
A communication was received from Jno. J. Fleming, who furnished the small quantity of gravel used in op¬ position to the Peeks' ill gravel, recnm-

Mr. (^uinn, the Fleming representa¬ tive, said he could furnish a gravel better than any used on our streets for less money than anv yet bought.

several times by Trustee .Sigmond. who persisted in asking embarassing questions he gave it up. but said he thought he was entitled to a chance to supply the vil¬ lage with more gravel. In answer to this Trustee Sigmond asked:
"Do you want this Board lynched? " .Mr. Quinn replied: "There are some pt'Ople we would like to lynch.""

Trus¬ tee Collard moved to split the differ¬ ence and make it 18 feet.
Trustee Sigmond moved to refer to Road   Commissioner   with power, and

If the Village Board would only put some of that Peekskill .gravel on Pine Street between .Main and"' Church Streets, it would suit more taxpayers than the question of Iti or 20 feet on Ocean Ave., south of Atlantic.
Whatever the conditions of our streets there is no gainsaying tbe fact that but for Village President Gunning there would have been no appropriation for permanent road imurovements 8s it wa'= his proposition to appropriate tbis much money on our roads.
1 would respectfully suggest to the village trustees that a name lie aelect- eil for the new lioulevard or city pipe lino or what you might call it. We could use a proper name for this very handily in our  reporting.

.After considering the mailer very carefully, I do not think the Village Board should be very severely criti¬ cised for iiurchasing that Hudson Kiver gravel from the l-'leming concern. It is true that this gravel was advocated liy President Gunning, becau.se he be¬ lieved it to be really as good as the Peekskill gravel anti cheaper, but it was the unanimous decision of the Boaiil to order the trial lot that was sent, notwithHtanding oiiinions to the contrary. The shipment appears to be exactly as the sample, 'l'o be sure there was a test submitted tiie .same night, but it's being a special meeting to which 1 was not sent an invitation, I do not know what occurred, and all that appears on the minutes i.s a resn- lution to "purchase Hudson River gravel," ami nothing is said about any test in connection with that order, on the minutes. I doubt very much if any member of the Board would advocate purchasing any further gravel of the same quality, as it does not compare at ill! favorably under present con¬ ditions with the Peekskill gravel, and while it may, as its sellers claim, make a good road some time in the fu¬ ture, it iloe.s not look very nice, not¬ withstanding exfiert testimony, as to itii superior cementation qualities.
The insurance companies have been making a mini off nf Freeport risks this year. The fire department has been called out eighteen tune?, and the entire damage liy lire has amounted to less than .'j^iion since the first of Janu¬ ary.

If correspondent E. V. B. devoted less attention to gossip and more to news he wouldn't send in such itema as this :
