To   the   Edit- Ron iew : Dear Sir;	
Replying to cdninients you mado in your paper of March 17th. piease un¬ derstand that the remarks I made at the recent .Mass .Meeting of the Vil¬ lage Improvement Society were iioj in¬ tended to belittle or antagonize the people in the lower sections of the town, and as I staled, "the native ele¬ ment along the creek. " The point 1 endoavoted to emphasize was the de- ploraide c(ii;dilioii of the sidewalks, and especially so. those on the north side of the track whero I live, and the necessity for rectifying and improving tbo-^o conditions.
When I referred to the inhabitanls along lower Main streot or tho creek, the point I had in view was, tbat the appropriations for the various imprnve- ments, unioss thnroughly understood down in that section of the village, would be voted down.
I'crporially, I have niore friends, and am better acquainted among the nat¬ ives than the city f(dks among whom I live, and in justice to myself, I wish it thoroughly understood tbat 'liero was no intention in my speech, of slurring nr deridint: any mini or woman in this viil'ige, whether native or city people, whn, like myself, have come tn Freeport tn make it our permanent home.
I should cimsider it a groat favor if this letter is published in the next edi¬ tion of The Review.
Yours very truly,
Cornolius A. Van Rees.
(Thank you. Wt like to lliink we aro one big family in Freeport, and ex¬ planations are always welcomed. As we aaid before, there were more peoide who voted No on apiiropriations Tms- day on Ocean avenue than on South Main street. The comments in our lo¬ cal topics column was made with a de¬ sire to offset any resentment that might naturally be felt by the remark we referred to.-   Kd. I
William Slahles was charged witb grand larceny in the second degree be- f-'re Judge Corodon Norton, at Bell¬ more, Thursday. The exact nature of the charge was taking a horse from the property of one Lizzie Curtis. .Mr. Slahles claimed that he had a contract with Edward F. Curtis whom he con¬ sidered the owner of the horso in (|ues- tion, by which he was ontitlod to the immediate posession of the horse and under which contract title passed to Stables. Upmi hearing the people's side of the caso it was disinis.^ed upon motion of George .M. Levy of the firm of Edwards & Levy on the ground that the people's case was incomplete.

Those who kiinw .Mr. t'raft. the Republici'.n iidiniiieo for S'ipervisor, say that nntwithstanding ho was luini- iiiated by a man who is strictly a jioli- tician, .Mr. Ciaft himself is a reliable able ni.'in ; bu; when a part of the deal for cnr'trni includos turning down Wil¬ liam S. Hall, tbo must elliciciil 'Town Treasurer we have ever had, and nam¬ ing in his niace a man whn is not()uali- fied for the job, it is a bad thing for the Republican [jarty.
I am proud of my village my homo village mure than ever, even. Wo needed money for streets and we put it up nnt in driblets, but .•f,')(l,(l(IO with which snme real work can bo done, and we had no tmuble in getting an ullirm- alive vote on the questioiir^j tho peojile showed their interest by turning out in
gnndly IlUIllbors.
riie Frocpirt Iniprnvoniont Society is to bo cnnipliinonted fnr tho result of their work on the i|iiestions subrnitfed at the electinn 'Tuesday. 'Tbey worked hard to get out and tho result is shown in tbe vote every proposition carried but the two thoy refused to endorse. ()f cnur-e tho result might not have been dilTerent wliothor they endorsed the other two or imt. liut the point is that they got out the iioople whom thFy knew tn bo in favor of improvementa and vve will hac the  iiniirnvemonls.
Thanks to "our ladies." The women turned nut to vote for improve- mont 'Tuesday 7'.i woinen casting their ballots, and il is safe to assert that nearly all of them were voting Yes on the larger part nf the prnposilions sub¬ mitted.
Acting upon tbo advice and al the earnest solicitation .if bis friends, both Roiiublicaii and Democrats, and in view of the fact that hi- being defeated at the Republican ciiiivontion Monday was not a free vote of the delegates but the result of a pre-arranged deal, William S. Hail has consonted to accept fhe niiinination upon the Democratic ticket fnr Town Treasurer.
1 am glad of this, although Mr. Hall's oflice dues not benetit Freoport in any way the mniioy on hand must be deposited in a trust company in New York City, and can be borrowed by anyone in the town with proper se¬ curity.     Last week we said:
"It wnuld bo hard to Hnd a man bet¬ tor iiiialiliod to liandie thc reserve funda of tbe lown than .Mr. Hall and few who could do it so well."
That the combinatinn whicb ran the town convention mado no olfort to even find a man as well (lualiliod is shown by the fact that they named a man who (loos not even- to kiinw anything about nmrtgage loans, real estate val¬ ues, etc., sn far as I havo been able to lind out.
Think of pulling such a man, no mat ler how honest he might be, in charge of a fund of •?lilO,000 and expecting him to return a proiit of over 5 per cent !
Under the (Mrciimstances I shall deem it tbe only proper thing for every good Republican who afiprovos of tho way Mr. Hall has handled tbe Town's fin¬ ances to vote for hirn on election day. Rut don't Jvote a straight Democratic ticket; even-though it is true that Mr. Craft, our candidate for Supervisor, was nominated at the expense of the best interest of the tnwn insofar as it included the throw ing down of Mr. Hall for the ollice for which be has proven himself so exceptionallv well (jualilied, those who know him (Mr. (raft) and whom I know tn be strictly on the level, assure rne that his char¬ acter is above reproach, and that they cannot conceive of him lowering him¬ self so much as to become a party to a crooked political deal knowingly.
Brother A. R. W. of tbe Ob¬ server, was appointed a member of the committee from the Improvement So¬ ciety to get out the vote Tuesday in favor of appropriations and then his jiaper came oul strongly against them.
Under Freeport column they say :
To bond a whole village for improve¬ ment of a few favored streets is not a fair or moral proposition."
Under their Rockville Centre column they say speaking of similar proposi- tion.s in that village, by a tax:
"There are 7 propositions to be vot¬ ed on. We believe it ia for the best interests of the village that all of thero sbould be adopted."
I wonder why it is fair in Rockville Centre to tax the whole village forim provements and a great moral crime in Freeport.
