Pasaing between aolid walls of spec¬ tators extending from the starting point at 68tfa Street and 5tb Avenue to tbe flnish at 105th Street and Riv¬ erside Drive, tbe parade of paid, vet¬ eran and volanteer firemen beld in con- nection witb the annnal convention of tbe International Aaaociation of Fire Engineera and the unveiling of tbe Firemen'a Memorial Monument on Riverside Drive, brought together probably tbe'largest nnmber of firemen tbat have ever paraded in that city.
A apecial train load of Freeport fire¬ men  left  Freeport  at 9:80,   and   al¬ though it had been advertised   to  stop at Baldwin and Rockville Centre, passengera'were taken on at either ata¬ tion.   tl^y apparently being unwilling to belp defray tbe expenaea of another village even at no extra expenae  to themaelves.   Arriving at New York at about 11 o'clock, tbe m«n went direct¬ ly  to  tbe 12tb Regiment Armory,  at 62nd  Street atid  Columbua    Avenae, where  a  "lancheon".   consisting   of coffee  and  aandwichea   waa    served. Tbere tbey met the drivera of thc  ap¬ paratus,   whicb  bad left Freeport the nigbt before,  wbo said th'jy had run I into  tbe  cloudburst wbicb had struck I the city the night before, at  Win<?eld, and thai the water had come  aa  high aa    the    running   boarda  at    several placea.    A number of men  from  each I company  aecured raga and metal pol- j isb, and wben the apparatus  reported I for  parade at  12:46, it looked nearly I as goM as wben it had left Freeport. I     Although the different departments had  been  noticed  to  be  in   line   by 112:46,   and  no  later orders bad been given, it was after 2 o'clock wben the

got under way at 2:20.. There aeemed to be no management to tbe parade, and it waa not bandied as well aa they are usually handled in small villages, atops being frequent, and finally, wben the Freeport department waa at 80th Street and Broadway, there was a stop of about a half hour while the ' monu¬ ment was being unveiled, this having been planned to start at tbe same tune as the firemen's parade left down¬ town. The men were forced to stand in wbat was then a drizzling rain with¬ oat knowing why they were held there.
While waiting at tbis point fire ap¬ paratus was heard on the next block, and looking in tbat direction, a four- story apartment boose was' seen to be on flre a block away. All who de¬ sired to go and watch tbe working of tbe New 7ork Department were al¬ lowed to do so, and many wbo had never aeen these, tbe best fire fighters in the world, in action, availed them¬ selves of the opportunity. The fire had started in the basement and al¬ though the amoke had gone through the bou^e and waa pouring out at tbe roof, tho blaze was kept in the cellar where it atarted, the loaa being placed in the next day's fire reports at $100. It nevertheleaa gave the men a chance to aee something of the working of tbis department.
Primarily the reaaon Preeport bad attended tbia parade was to advertiae the village with a fire department whicb could not be dnplicated in any village of the size in New York State, and tbat it well aucceeded ia attested by tbe many commenta beard by the head of the line as the parade proceed¬ ed through the atreeta and avenues, and the amount of applause tbe men and apparatua received all along tbe line, tbe bandclapping being almoat continuous.
The line-up of the Freeport Depart¬ ment was as follows:
Department Banner Automobile containing ex-Village Preaiaent Hanse, President Cox, Trus¬ tees Raynor, Bedell and Welden; Trus¬ tee Randall marching with the ex¬ empts.

MUST PAY FOR LIGHT The Village Board of Tmstees has decided that all electric ligbt bills must be paid aad not allowed to run over 80 days after they are doe. and thia Boarda aeema to rea:liy mean it. Tbja haa been decided many times in the paat few years, but tbis is tbe first time tbat it bas been decided to carry oat tbe reaolation, regardless of condi¬ tions, and tb^ electric ligbt collector, H. E. Ryder,^-has bad positive instruc¬ tions to give orders for all lighta to be turned off, when tbe bill ia not paid at the ead of 80 daya. Tbia ia without regard to the credit or atanding of con- aumer, and no favoritiam can be shown; no matter wbo tbe person is, the collector mast have the lights tarned off if tbe bills are not paid at the time specified.
WORTH TALKING ABOUT.
The propositions sabmitted by tbe Board of Education, for tbe considera¬ tion of the voters, at the special meet¬ ing to be held on Sept. 26, are well worthy of earnest consideration, and discussion.
We shall be pleased to publish the ideas of any of our readera, regarding any or all of tbeae 'propositions.
NEW VILLAGE HALL. The project to erect a village hall ia being considered by the Village Board and a propoaition will probably be ifcbortly submitted to the voters at a special village election, to be called aa soon as expedient. With the proposed increase in rentals in effect the village will be paying $1600 a year  in
pay the interest on an amount suffl - eiently large to conatruet an appropri¬ ate building for housing tbe Village- Clerk's office. Board of Health rooms, police court, and several pieces of fire department apparatua.
A SCENE FROM LIFE.
Moat Any Time.—The scene is set.
A country road, trees, sky, summer homes, a lake in tbe distance. A steam railway line crosses tbe road at right angles.
Enter, up tbe road, an automobile, well loaded and running at high speed.
Enter at tbe far right an express train.
Both automobile and train are rush¬ ing toward the crossing.
Owner of automobile to chauffeur: "Can you make it?"
The chauffeur, speeding up: "Sure I can make itl"
He doesn't.—Cleveland Flain Dealer.
CONTROL OF FIRE DEPARTMENT.
In the Review this week, in the Vill¬ age Board minutea, will be noted where the Village Board granted permission to take the Fire Department apparatus from the village. For the informa¬ tion of our readera who are interested in tbia matter, we would state that it waa a mistake aaking permjaaion from the Village Board, as they have noth¬ ing whatever to aay regarding this matter. The only governing body hav¬ ing any authority in tbis matter is the Couneil of the Fire Department.
The requeat was put through in er¬ ror, and the Village Board was entire¬ ly willing to give whatever authority they had, but I think this information ia necessary, in oroer that there may be no miaunderstanding as to the pre¬ rogatives of the Board in the matter of fire department control.
May Be Olympic Hero
Freeport, L. I., September 5.—One athlete under close observation by the Olympic committee for the 1916 Olym¬ pic eventa in Berlin, is Theodore Neun- dorfer of Church Street. Freeport. Tbis youth haa developed into one of the beat three walkera thia country haa produced in years. His trainers in the N. Y. A. C. hold out a great fnture.for him. In the recent championship at Far Hills, N. J.. Neundorfer won his first championship, and witb it tbe honor of being tbe national one-mile champion. After a lone travel and, without any preparation he finished €»tTn tbe mile at the Chicago cham¬ pionships, and on the following day finished second in the three-mile cham¬ pionship.
„It bas been proved beyond doubt by the young Freeport man tbat he is 'Capable of showing his heels to tbe en¬ tire field of walkera in tbe mile, but he bas one or two superiors in the ^ three and five-mile championships. Neundorfer is constantly improving, boWever, and his trainers are firmly convinced that he will be tbe repre¬ sentative from tbis country at Berlin.
"Teddy'' atarted tbe athletic game in 1906, while a achoolboy. He waa a croas eountry runner, attached to the Mott Haven A. C—Eagle.

The taxpayers of Freeport will soon have an opportunity to vote on the question of a.manicipnl bailding. It was practically decided at tfae Village Board meeting last Thursday afternoon that a propoaition calling for'probably $25,000 should aoon be aubmitted to tbe people and they will have the priv¬ ilege of aaying whether Freeport sball have ita "City Hall" or go on witboat appropriate headquartera. Thia deci¬ aion followed the reading of a letter from Jamea Hanse, who ia the land¬ lord of the buiiding in which the vill¬ age bas its police headquartera. Jail and police court.
Captain Hanse believes he has not been receiving aufficient rent and wrote, informing the village autbor¬ itiea that tbe village can continue aa tenants if they pay an annual rental of $600, which waa $18 mpre eacb month than ia now being paid. Tbe year ia up on October 1. Captain Hanae does not consider the village, with its necessarily dirty jail, a deair- able tenant. Thia brought about a lengthy discuaaion among the truateea. They are not prepared to meet the de¬ mand for a rental at $600. It was de¬ cided to hold a special meeting on Sept. 11, to decide on a further plan of action.

Witb two newapapermen and former Village Preaident Capt. Jamea Hanae, "Barney" viaited tbe burned aection yesterday, travelling from tbe village by automobile. More than an acre was smouldering along tbe bed of a long since dried lake north of the aque¬ duct of the Brooklyn City Water Works: Tbe Chief looked over tbe ground carefully and waa aurpriaed to find that tbe real fire waa considerably below the aurface. In places be dag over a foot only to flnd glowing maasea of dried and decomposed ro'Sta and eartb. ,.
"Begorra," said tbe Chief to his companions, after looking tbe fleld over, "It'a peat. Nothing elae. This is a sight that takes me back to the boyhood days. Who would have thought that there waa peat in Free- port? We live to learn. But this ia the best ever."
Captain Hanse assured "Barney" that Ireland never had anything "on Freeport" even as far back aa tbe day of the border wars, and insisted that conditions had been reversed in the past decade.
"Peat boga!" said the Captain with rising inflection. "Peatbogs! Why, Freeport knew about tbem before the birtb of Richard the Lion Hearted. As a matter of fact there ure more kinds of boga in Freeport than in all of Ireland.

FIREMEN'S LABOR DAY CONTEST Making a Spurt in tbe 440-Tard Daeb.
Although it was sappoaed that the firemanic troubles of Newtown and Elmbarst were over when the paid fire¬ men went in laat Monday morning, there tbere still seems to be lots doing. In tbe first 24 hoars the paid firemen were in service tbey were called out no less than a dozen times by false alarms. Ex-Chief Webber denies tbat tbe firemen bad anything to do with this and aays tbey would as much like to see tbe guilty parties cangnt and punished as wonld the paid men.
