In the Fire Department
.\bout half past live \Vedne-i;ay evening the tire whistle blew for 35 call for Pine and Chuich Sts. .Smoke was pouring out of the cellar at Hagen's Market, corner Fine and Main Streets, tilling the store. The firemen laid a line of hose but did not turn on any water, the olaze, which started in a storage closet in the cellar and ex¬ tended to the cellar wall, being put out with the two chemical extinguish¬ ers from the truck. The recall blew just 17 minutes after the alarm was sent in. The damage is slight, most¬ ly by smoke.
This is the third time this building has been afire, the first time about 14 to.16 years ago, the second time about Tor 8 years ago and in each case the damage was small, the first one being the worst.
The new  truck   of   Kxcelsior   Hook and Ladder   Company   was   given   its, oflicial tryout at the old Imperial Hotel Saturday afternoon,before the   village Board of Trustees and the members of the   Fire   Council.    Arriving   at   the ; hotel, all of the ladders were taken off i and placed up against the hotel,   after! which the two bodies compared the ap-, paratus with specifications   and   found I them to be complete in   every   detail. | Special meetings of   the   Council   and Village Board were held on the grounds , and the apparatus was   duly   accepted and turned over to the custody   of   the chief and foreman of the company.     It was placed   in   service   immediately. Following the test   of   the   ladders   a large bonfire was buili and the  chemi-i cal extinguishers were   used   to   good advantage.    The truck is now   in   act¬ ive service, and the one of   much   dis¬ cussion is now a thing of the past,  ex¬ cept as reserve apparatus.
While there were only 14 members present a very interesting meeting of the Freeport Board of Trade was held Wednet^day evening in Fraternity Hal
William P. Jones stated that a hear¬ ing on the complaints made before the Public Service Commission against the New York & Long Island Traction Company would be taken up within the next two weeks and that the meeting would be held at Mineola instead of New York and that the date would be announced later. George Wallace on behalf of the ' committee appointed at the last meet- i ing to tender the sympathy of the !

Last week we had another six o'clock liri. ; first the whistle started tu blow, as most uf us thought, fur six o'clock; then it kept un blowing and we finally decided we were mistaken, and it must be a tire; a few minutes later it blew again for a recall natur¬ ally but no it was for six o'clock this time, although the recall was the natural ii.fereDce. I haM been convinced that a fire the proper thing to play with even if most of my neighbors do think it all right 'o have this whistle blown about six o'clock every night.
Ily the way, a friend suggests it would be hetter to blow it at 5:3ueach day, as his wife uses that as a signal to leave her visits ai d slart home tu make arrangements fur his evening meal and if it were blowti a half hour earlier it would help his appet.te that much. Wonder why it wouldn't be a good idea.
