All the men;bers of the Village Board were present at the regular meeting of the Village Board Friday evening.
Several residents of the Bayview section appeared before the Board and \ butcher shops asked that more street lights be placed in that section.

Tbey were informed the matter was in the hands of tbe light committee and as soon as possible several new lights would be installed.
A petition was also received for a light on South Main St.

JThe   Relija;ious  Census  In Freeport
Now that the    Religious   Census  of the village,    taken by some 125 volun- ' teera   under   the   au.-<pices of   all   the churches,   has   been   practically   com¬ pleted,   it is    interesting to note   some : of the results attained. j     The workers themselves report their I experiences in the  visitation   to   have ; been   unexpectedly   plea.sant.      With I only the rarest exceptions   they   were cordially received and ready responsea j were  given   to   the   simple  questions I propounded.     In many   instances, too, I delightful acquaintances, both between the visited and viaitors, and the visitors themselves, were made.    Those   near¬ est   the work are   convinced   that in a very large measure   the spirit of unity and good will among churches and peo¬ ple   haa betn distinctly   strengthened, j mutual regard increased,    and   helpful I co-operation ma(le more easy. I     A good   deal of   interest   has   been ' manifested in regard to the  number of I inhabitants   such a canvass of the   vil- ; Iage might disclose.    Up to   this writ- j ing the   cards returned   include  about I 5200 names.    It should   he eaid,   how- i ever, that a small   percentage of these I are found outside  the   village   limits. , But, without   dout)t,   <iuite as many in ' the   village,   because of abf^erce   from home when the vi.«itors   called, and on account of known accidental omi.«i8inns, : have   not been    counted.     In some in¬ stances, too, the li^,'ures are estimated, : only the family   name having been ob- ' tained.      Where   this was   ilone,   four persons wcrr allowed   for each family, though the ovfr:i>:e    family, where as- : certained,    was a fraction   over   four. On the whole the returns    were   unex¬ pectedly full. I     Another question noted at preaent in ' discussions on the   attitude of the peo¬ ple towards    the   churches   had    light thrown   on   it.    So far   from   showing any   marked hostility,   the census   has I revealed that in Freeport, at least, not I only a large   proportion uf   the   adults I are   communicants in    some   religious I organization,   but even   those   outside the   churches,   with    few   exceptions, : have shown friendliness and expressed 1 a definite preference    for   some   com- I munion or another.    Thus it would ap- I pear   that   anti-religious,   anti-church ! sentiment here is anything but preval¬ ent, indeed,   is practically a negligible (juantity.
The course e:ich church will pursue towards those who are its frieids will be determined by it.'<elf. But the can- I vas.s has plainly indicated the field each I will endeavor to occupy. It is the I hope of the promoters of the movement 1 that at least strangers, may be made I welcome, neighbors come to know each I other better, the churches become j more helpful, the cause of righteous- i ness he alrengthened, and Freeport ; more nearly made to approach the ideal ; of a geninine Christian community. All who have co-operated by either ' asking or answering the questions pro- I pounded by the canvassers have con- I tributed tn these desirable ends.
j Transfer Tax Appraiser Cornell has I filed his report at Mineola on the es- I tate of James Whaley, who died on I April 2Kth. He finds the total value of the estate, above the expenses of \ administration, to be 119,567.82, which I is bequeathed to decedent's grand- ! niece, Susan Ch se. The estate in- I eludes five shares of stock of the Free- I port Bank, three mortgages and per- I sonal effects. The amount of the ' transfer tax paid the .State was $924.72.
