'The pro¬ ceeds will be used in purchasing para¬ phernalia for the Degree Team which team promises to be the finest on Long Island.
We understand the new system of fire alarms, witb first and second calls, has gone into effect. By this plan the alarm will be sounded on which only part of the companies will turn out; as soon as the chief reaches the fire he will send orders for a second alarm bringing out the remaining companies, or a recall, which will dismiss the com¬ panies at the house but will not those at tbe fire.
Our firemen were called out at 2 o'clock Wednesday morning for a 41 district call, and made quick responses, bot the blaze was under such headway when the alarm was sounded that they could do nothing toward saving the small shed which was afire in tbe rear of the Elijah Raynor property on South Main street. This is the first real loss the department has allowed since last Thanksgividg Day, when R. P. Wel- den's coal office waa about destroyed at the same district. No. 41.

I have to express my appreciation of tho kindness of Albin N. Johnson of the firm of Johnson & Johnson, for a list of awards of Freeport property by the city commission, filed in the county clerk's office last Saturday. I cannot say that the commission has shown much evidence of superior judgment, some of the estimates seeming higher than circumstancs warrant and some of them ridiculously low.
Dr. Evans says my comments on his afi'airs and matters connected therewith in my last issue were unfair to him, as they give the impression that he wanted the position of health olficer when he did not, but merely offered to take it after every other doctor in the village had refused, in writing, to take the office, and Dr. Carman said he dio not want it. He asks that iu fairness to him we state that if Dr. Carman is convicted on his hearing at .Mbaftiy it will be on his own (Dr. Carman's) evi¬ dence, given before the acting health commissioner. Dr. Evans says he has no personal grievance against Dr. Car¬ man and will shake hands with him if he will promise to live up tta the law as he should in future.
While on the subject, upon which Dr. Evans lays so much stress, it might be in order to call attention to the re¬ port of the state Board of Health wbich'says that in 1909 out of 450 vil¬ lages only 1()9 were supplied with diph¬ theria antitoxin. It seems to us that before asking Dr. Carman to pay more attention to his work it is up to the state board to serve notice on the other 281 village health officers to show cause why they should not be removed from office; Or. Carman is accused nf not having antitoxin part of the time; these 281 villages didn't even ask for '^.

Contributions to Firemen's Fund
The General Committoo announce that in ortier to properly handle the annual convention of the Southern New York Volunteer Firemen's Association which will be hod in this village Octobre 4, 5, and 6, it will be necessary for them to raise within our village, the sum of $2,700, and they urgently request you to contribute your share.
They say there will no doubt be be¬ tween forty and fifty thousand people vist our viliago during the week of the Convention and they have already made arrangements to feed fifteen hundred on Tournament day. Every merchant in the village will profit by the large number of visitors.
While it is an unpleasant duty for the (Committee to solicit subscriptions, it also behooves us tu make this a decided success. Thus far the amount sub¬ scribed has been $319.50.
In looking over the amount sub¬ scribed it is interesting to compare it with the amotmt raised in the village a6#ayville for the Tournament held by the Suffolk County Association on Au¬ gust 31. "fhe Committee of the Say¬ ville Fire Department .worked three weeks and raised the sum of $1378.25. This amount was subscribed to by 85 merchants and residents and when you realize the fact that the village of Say¬ ville is about half the size of the vil¬ lage of Freeport, the amount already subscribed is disoouraging to the Fire Department.
All those who have not subscvibed and desire to subscribe, will kindly send their si'ibscriptions to William H. Sam¬ mons, Secretary, as neon as possible.
Following are the list of contributors to the fund for expenses incident to the firemen's convention, parade and tourn¬ ament to be held October 3 to 8 inclus-
