_0n June 14 there will be held in the Village of FVeeport a public meeting for the inhabitants of the P>ee School istrict No. 9, ia order to decide by bal- ' lot as to whether or not the Board of Education will be allowed to purchase a propo.-fd site for a new school for fifty thous.-iild dollars.
The site picked out is known as the Bergen property at the corner of Ber-

Before Judge Johnson
The Tuesday mominK "speeders" court held before JudKe Johnson in Freeport, brought out an unusually large number of cases this week, all of which had been caught Sunday af¬ temoon by the keen discrimination of brought   before   the   meeting,   is   not  Motorcycle Officer John A. Hahn, who

The proposed site was visited Wed
nesday afternoon and from the opin ion of a layman, it would be said that Merrick road is no place for a achool pf any kind. At the time when the schools were lettintf out on Wednes¬ day afternoon, thirty-two automobiles passed in the. time that it takes to ¦walk the length of one block. Is that running into unnecessary danger? It is a question to be decided by the peo¬ ple.
The plains for the proposed school show it in the form of the letter "E" ¦¦Afith the long body facing Merrick road and the arms stretching away from it. This is so they can be iuitifeil onto as the school gro'^fs. It does not '¦seem that the present sight would al¬ low room enough'for an athletic field or gymnasium. The present high school is laboring under the same han¬ dicap.
There is no doubt but what the schools of Freeport have reached a condition that compels a change. The Grove street building is not fitted for a high school and has outgrown it¬ self. The Seaman Avenue School is also too small and the Archer Street School has pupils on part tune.   Some
speed demotes,
Peter Vandern, a colored chauffeur employed by a wealthy silk manufac¬ turer of Patterson, N. J., was driving a huge Packard with a broken specJ- ometer, and did not realize that he was exceeding the speed limit. He was fined five dollars.
Jacob Katz of Mineola was hitting the village streets at thirty-five miles an hour, which cost him the sum of five dollars.
David Grueben of Brooklyn was on his way to Port Jefferaon and was try¬ ing to get there before dark. His in¬ tentions were of the best, but Free- port is no place in which to make up lost time, and ten dollars was the re- result.
F'red Hansen, -Archie Tryler and William Horner each laid a five dol¬ lar bill on the desk in token of some¬ thing learned, never to be  forgotten.
Francis Newton of 1.30 West HTth .sti'i et, New York City, and England, was very positive that he was not go¬ ing thirty-five miles an hour, b.it 'he did not care to bather w^th going to trial over the matter and finalfy ac¬ cepted Officer Hahn's word for it, and

A SURPRISE SHOWER

Many Gifts Received At Pretty Affair         Civen Mrs. O. L. Briggs
On Wednesday evening, May 10. Mrs. Oiin L. Briggs, formerly Gladys B.  Smith,  one  of Freeport's  popular
of kidne-wDod, L. I., had never seen a judge before and it cost him ten dol¬ lars for the privilege.
D. Smith, the colored chauffeur of Judge Sheehan of Lawrence, spent five dollars in five minutes, and departed with a new respect for the majesty of the law.
Rocco D'Napoli, who was haled .in¬ to court last -week for knocking over a little girl and wrecking her bicy¬ cle, was present again. It was testi¬ fied to that he had made complete res¬ titution insofar as he was able, and had compensated the family for the trouble he had cau.sed. Judge John- .son gave him credit for that fact, but did not feel that it was enough, and in order that such things may not hap¬ pen again, a fine of fifty dollars was imposed as a lesson. Captain Hart¬ mann also read Napoli the riot act for resisting arrest, and that worthy gen¬ tleman will have a wholesome regard for the police of Freeport in the fu¬ ture.

Community League To Make
Definite Plans At Special
Meeting on May 24th
The much needed playground for the community of Freeport looms on the horizon as a near certainty, dut to the action of the Freeport Comniunity League at ita meeting in the High School building on May 17.
A committee was appointed for the purpose of looking up auitable sites for a playground, consisting of Wil¬ liam Collins, chairman; Robert Nutt, Mrs. H. J. Raymore and Mrs. R. H. Earon.
It was voted at this meeting to hold a special meeting on Monday, May 24, at the High School, for the purpose of electing a board of governors and the discussion of definite summer plans,
.AiLciUion was also called to a cake salo to be held at Bennington Pi\i'k Community Centre on Saturday, May 22. The residents of that district are famed for their delicious cooking and the cakes on sale will be a source of delight to epicurea.
The Freeport Community League is yet iti^alA infancy, having been organ¬ ized but a few weeks. When in full swing, the memberahip will be repre¬ sentative of every organization in the neighborhood and all will be working for a common purpoae, namely, the betterment of Freeport. It ia not the object of the League to attempt to assume control of the activities at¬ tempted by individual organizations, but the League will be the banding to¬ gelher of all organizations in the coiu- iiion interests of the community and ils pleasures, as a comniunity.
It is desired to have every availa¬ ble member possible in the League and the low dues of one dollar ought to be be within the meana of everyone. The need wf a playground in Freeport is very evident and the proposition is one" that will meet with the approval of the entire village.
