Running railroads or trying to tell other people how to run them is out of my line, but 1 notice the further east you go the more complaints are made, and I also have noticed dozens of times express trains rushing thru Freeport not near half full and the same day trains stopping at Freeport and passen¬ gers having to stand up.
There never will be any greatly re¬ lief till Freeport or Merrick is made a terminal for about 80 per cent of tne Montauk line trains.
Winter is coming on, and our Fire Department has some good apparatus, but a few more good firemen would help. The Fire Deparment hap no use for the man who is willing to help if he happe.is to be around, but cannot be depended upon in emergencies^, but I think I am safe in saying they would gladly welciiine any i;ood fire fighters, i as there are vacancies in all the com¬ panies. Aijplieation for membeit^hip blanks sent to C. 0. Niles, the Depart¬ ment Secretary, would receive prompt attention.
Apiiin 1 would respectfuly suggest to tt.e Village Trustees that there is not a piece of road traveled more and needing permanent repairing than the snail stretch ef Pine Street between Main ar.d Church Streets. Won't you please Mr. Commissioners have it fixed! It needs it much more than ()ccan Avenue south of Atlantic Ave. refjuireB 20 ft.
Already discussions are heard as to who shall be Village President ext April. It is presumed Mr. Gunning will be a candidate for re-election, and and the names of ex-President Morris¬ on, Cupt. .Manse and Trustee Sigmond are menticmcri, I hear Mr. Morrison positively refuses to accept, and I hope he sticks to his resolutiun. I will claim without fear of contradiction that no man could be found better qualified for the position, but he should first consid¬ er his health. Mr. Morrison is recov¬ ering his lost strength but it is slow work, and it would take but little of the strenuous work required of our Vil¬ lage i'resident to upset the work of his family physician for the past year or more.

I If you are at all interested, drop a postal card to the secretary, W. H. Rider of tht Board of Health, or Dr. A. F. Witmer, the Hea th Officer, for a copy of the circular, "Important Facts About Tuberculosis," which they are glad to .'-ee anyone applying for them.
Complaint has been made about the delay in starting Peekskill gravel work on Uedell St, Trustee Sigmond in¬ forms me the agreements have been signed and work is to commence today, for a road 26 ft. wide.

I wish it to be very emphatically un¬ derstood, that when 1 comment on any matter of interest in this column, I am perfectly willing to receive any com¬ ment from anyone holding a different view, und will be glad to publish their views without any restrictions within the bounds of propriety, providing the correspondent is willing to sign his name to the communication, taking the same responsibility that I do of being criticised i'or the stand taken.
Mr. Nolan,   reporter for the   Brook¬ lyn Eagle,   took   exception to my item last week   concerning   his   reporting. He told me over the 'phone that he had to guess at hia information, as he could not   secure it at the   police  headquar¬ ters.    I asked him to write me to that effect, and be said he would be glad to! do so, but   up to this   time 1 have   not yet heard anything   further from him ; as we told him, if it is tru^ that there is no way to get   information at police headquarters,   it is time we got a new ! chief of police.    Personally 1 have had no   trouble   in   securing   information i similar to what the  chief allows to be published   in his own    paper, at Rock-i ville   Centre,   and   I   guess    that's   ae much as could be askt.
Your attention is called to the re¬ port of the treasurer of the Park Com- i mission which appears in this issue. | As the treasurer says:
"Comparatively few of our citizens have contributed toward this worthy cause, and it is hoped tbat all those wbo bave not already done so and de¬ sire to see the work kept op, will send in tbeir donations to the Treasurer."
Tbis is a matter of civic pride and there are missing from tbe list tba namaa of many people who ooold wall afford to   contribute   to   tbis  worthy
In the Fire Department
The new hose wagons arrived last Friday afternoon and were taken to Williams garage on Newton Boulevard pending the approval of the Village Board and Fire Council.
A regular meeting of the (Council was held Wednesday evening at which it was decided to request the Village, Hoard to hold a joint inspection of the wagons Saturday afteriioop, with tha Fire Council and if approved they will be placed in service immediately, as the extensions to the buildings hava been completed.
I Tickets are now on pale for the Fire i Department dinner, December 6, to which any fireman, past or f;resent, is ' invited. Tickets may be socured from i any inetnlur of the committee; A. B. : Wallace, J. llujler Ellison, Robert H. Patrick, S. VV. Hunt, or A. S. Acker- nian, or from the <'onipany committeen.
j     A special meeting of the Council will : Le held at   headquarters   Saturday   af¬ ternoon   at3:.M0,   when    the   members will   adjourn to Williams'    garage   on ' Newton    Boulevard t(> inspect the new hose wagons.
' With a decent lire alarm system, I'reuport would now be second to none in elliciency. Perhaps if the proposi¬ tion i.o handli'ii more njoderatcly it will not be (lefciited liy the taxpajers next time and next lime should be next Spring.	
A regular nieeting of the Fire Coun¬ cil was held at head(]uarter8 in the En¬ gine House WLiliie.silay evunjiig, with a session lasting until about midnight.
A petition signed by about 75 tax¬ payers in the northwesterly section of the village waa received, Rpking for tho installation of a hose wag<in in that section, to be known as lliife (Company No. 4. Thia matter has been under advisement ijy the Council for some time, and the sentiment was unpni- mously in favor of granting the peti¬ tion, which was done.' The apparatus will be stored in a private building in that section, is to carry 500 or S.'iO feet of hose, and to be hand drawn, it being necessary to maintain this more in the nature of an auxiliary company, the budget for the present year not having contained a provision for its establishment. Fifty-one names were on the proposed membership list.
A list uf supplies needed for the coming Winter was submitted by Chief Cornell and by the foremen of the var¬ ious companies. As the appropriation for thi- year's expcrises will barely carry through the year, the firemen will be compelled to do with very little extra supplies.
An applicationfor janitor at all of the fire houses was received, the appli¬ cant agreeing to keep fires and keep all the company houses and apparatus clean. Council decided to recommend to the Board of Village Trustees the hiring of a man for this Durpose,
It was also decided to recommend that the Village Lioard {lispose of at public auction the old hook and ladder truck, two old hose reels and such old hose at the power houpe, minus tbe couplings, as is unfit for use.
Although the funils are not available for the repair of the old engine, which would cost not more than J500 to put in first-class condition, the (;ouncil did not deem it proper that it should bo disposed of at this time, as properly repaired it would make a very efficient reserve apparatus, and if sold at auc¬ tion would probably bring little mora than junk.
In the event of acceptance of tha new apparatus by the Village Beard and Fire (jounril this Saturday after¬ noon, (he annual parade and inspection will be held the following Saturday, November 25, All uf the company house will be operi on that afternoon for any taxpayers or others who wish to examine the apparatus, with men in attendance lo explain atiy details. It is hoped a large number of taxpay¬ ers will show their interest at this time.
